2ndtonone1000 53 Americans died and 90 Americans were injured in 12 embassy attacks during George W. Bush's terms. Remember those hearings? ...Me neither. April 18,1983 The United States embassy in Beirut, Lebanon was bombed by a suicide bomber that killed 63 people, mostly embassy and CIA staff members, several soldiers and one Marine. 17 of the dead were Americans. Reagan was President. October 23, 1983 Beirut, Lebanon 230+ Marines were killed by a car bomb. This is the most deadly attack against U.S. Marines since the battle over Iwo Jima in February 1945. Reagan cut and ran after that.

2ndtonone1000 And the Benghazi made up scandal is laughable. When George Bush was President 3000 Americans were killed on American soil, under Obama 4 Americans were killed in Libya. You want to discuss gross negligence, show me a PDB titled Al Qaeda determined to kill Libyan Ambassador. After the Supreme Court appointed bush to the White House, the Clinton Administration TRIED to brief bush about upcoming problems with Bin Laden. bush said he wasn't concerned about foreign policy, he didn't know much about it, and was going to focus on US problems. After the transfer of power, our intelligence people tried to warn the bush Administration......REPEATEDLY. The PDB was just one of many attempts to warn bush. After 9/11, the bush Administration tried to block efforts to have an independent Commission established in order to investigate one of the worst cases of foreign attack on US soil. They also helped control what people could and could not testify. They tried to block it, even though finding out what had gone wrong could have prevented another attack. But after the 9/11 widows forced the issue, there was a commission. And they did come up with things to do differently, and bush didn't implement any that I know of, at least long afterwards, long after the Patriot Act, he still had done just about nothing on the list of recommendations. Source........the 9/11 Commission Report is online at a .gov site. And one more thing, after the 1st attack on the Trade Towers, a commission gave a report to Rudy Guiliani . He also ignored a large part of the report. One important part was to move the emergency communications operations out of those buildings. Very few people stood up to him, when he was later running for higher office, to ask why he didn't follow the recommendations, that could have saved lives.

2ndtonone1000 Which so called scandals are you talking about Daryl? IRS? Nope not a scandal. Just a made up bit so you rubes will vote for the K0CH taliban. IRS BS Oh crap, didnt you know? The IRS is only supposed to go after greenpeace, the naacp, acorn, student groups and any liberal anti war sermonizing churches. http://www.salon.com/2013/05/14/when_the_irs_targeted_liberals/ Here's the greenpeace audit story http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=13407 ================================================ Good overview of the whole "mess" http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/16/opinion/the-real-irs-scandal.html?hp&_r=0 It appears to me that this half-assed excuse for a scandal presents a delicious opportunity for the party willing to take it -- and use this squishy 501c4 nonsense to start to put an end to dark money in politics -- Eliminate the category completely since it appears none of them are entirely apolitical. What'd Karl Rove spend? 400 mill? What did Sheldon Adelson spend ? 200 mill? ================================================= It would be much easier to believe the outrage, presented by the republicans if any of them had raised even one objection when the Bush administration instructed the IRS to threaten to remove the 501 (c) (3) status of churches who objected to the war in Iraq. The republicans controlled BOTH houses of congress when that happened, and all the present day leaders of the republican party defended the IRS. ================================================ http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-05-15/irs-sent-same-letter-to-democrats-that-fed-tea-party-row.html http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/harry-reid-irs-should-probe-some-groups-91355.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ruth-marcus-irs-has-been-too-lax-on-tax-exempt-status/2013/05/14/bd7404b6-bcb8-11e2-97d4-a479289a31f9_story.html A little background ..... It seems that these 501 c4 groups ARE abusing the law and DO need further investigation - so many filings were made following citizens united that it required a closer look Crossroads GPS a "social welfare" advocacy group my cute behind....... ================================================= Groups were targeted that fit certain parameters i.e. 501 c 4s with dubious mission statements The fact that conservative ones outnumbered liberal ones by 1000:1 seems a matter of math, not malice per se and as the bloomberg also points out - liberal ones got the same letters.

2ndtonone1000 Benghazi LOL Security forces not ordered to stand down. A claim pushed dozens of times by Fox News that security forces were ordered to "stand down" during the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks on a U.S. diplomatic facility collapsed after the commander of those security forces testified that he received no such order. http://mediamatters.org/blog/2013/06/27/no-benghazi-stand-down-order-was-given-another/194644
