John McCain Snaps at David Gregory Over Benghazi: ‘Do You Care Whether Or Not Four Americans Died?’
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) asked an armor piercing question in the midst of some contentious crosstalk on today’s edition of “Meet the Press.” After being asked by host David Gregory what the scandal in Benghazi would be “if the worst thing were true,” McCain said he didn’t know the answer to that question, but wanted answers to other open inquiries anyway.
“We have had a massive cover-up on the part of the administration…” McCain began, before Gregory started pushing back in response.
“A massive cover up of what?” Gregory asked. “Susan Rice said there was a lot of confusion…”
Before Gregory could finish his question, McCain snapped, “Do you care, David? Do you care, David? I’m asking you, do you care whether four Americans died? The reasons for that? And shouldn’t people be held accountable for the fact that four Americans died, including a very dear man?”
“A cover-up of what?” Gregory persisted.
“Of the information concerning the deaths of four brave Americans,” McCain said.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 8:18pmNo they don’t care. But a bungled burglary in the 1970′s was enough to take down the President of the United States. Only when the liberal bully media decides it’s an “outrage” do Presidents fall. Benghazi was more than enough to finish Barry Soetoro , but the media “decided” to protect him. McCain is a little late and a dollar short. I didn’t see the outrage when he was striving to kiss Obama’s *ss at the state of the union speech.
Remember what the liberal media did for this President and what they’ve done against the American people..
Remember Benghazi.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 9:11pmMaybe if McCain really cared he and the GOP would begin Impeachment proceedings against the treasons that this Administration has perpetrated. Selling weapons to Drug Cartels in Mexico and doing the same in Libya via Turkey to Al Queda linked rebels fighting the President of Syria…. Oh McCain is all for selling them arms maybe that’s why we are not hearing anything on why 4 Americans (1 Ambassador and 3 CIA operatives) died in the attack on the CIA Mission in Benghazi.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 9:13pmI watched this and it was pure political theater. Let’s look for a second. Under the Bush administration their were eleven attacks on US embassy personnel: in Calcutta, Pakistan (3 times), Indonesia, Uzbekistan (the country Herman Cain didn’t know existed), Saudi Arabia, Syria, Athens, Yemen (2) and Istanbul. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorist_attacks_on_U.S._diplomatic_facilities
Total dead? 58. Not counting 9-11 or the Iraq war (7000 dead). Fifty eight dead at of US diplomatic facilities during the Bush administration. Why did Bush allow so many deaths?
Americans are rightfully horrified with Americans die overseas. But on President Obama’s watch, the safety of diplomats has certainly been far safer than under Bush’s.
I’ll cut to the point. The Republicans are polling less than brussel sprouts and cockroaches in opinion polls. So they are going to beat this dead horse as long as they can. What else do they have?

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 10:30pmIt is all a dog and pony show on the part of McCain who is in bed with Obama. He is deceitfully portraying to Americans that there is still a two party political system.
Think about McCain’s recent votes in the Sentate that afforded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt with F16s and confirmed Kerry. McCain votes will further the confirmation of Hagel and Brennan as well as afford a pathway to citizenship for over eleven million ILLEGAL immigrants.
Think about the following words of John McCain in 2008 when he was deceitfully runi under the Republican banner for President of the United States.
McCain warns supporters, calls Obama decent man
October 10, 2008
McCain was booed at a town-hall meeting here when he rebuked a man who said he was βscaredβ¦to bring a child upβ under an Obama presidency. βI have to tell you he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States,β McCain said to audible disapproval.
The man was one of nine who appealed to McCain to confront Obama more forcefully, several of them raising specific controversies dominating news, including Obamaβs relationships with Bill Ayers and the group ACORN. McCain seized the microphone from the hands of a woman who called Obama βan Arab,β and scolded her. βHeβs a decent family man that I happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues,β McCain said, to scant approval.

Posted on February 18, 2013 at 2:38am@Send,
There is one HUGE difference from the Bush administration and this one: accountability.
Under the Bush administration, President Bush was blamed for everything; from the 9/11 tragedy to global warming to a war on gays to big oil deals to the killing of baby seals…. the list goes on and on and on.
Yet, under this administration, they keep getting passes from the press.
While I am not a Bush fan (in the least!), I do recognize that we understood who attacked us and why.
Under this administration, Benghazi is attacked and suddenly no two stories are the same from the personnel involved.
Thus, it is not a question of who is to blame: it is a question of the handling of the situation after the fact.
I firmly believe that this administration let the four people die, believing they could spin the incident to make it appear as if a protest got out of control.
Why? Obama wanted to make sure that the “low information voters” believed that he had the terrorist problem under complete control. The last thing he needed just weeks before the election is a major terrorist attack.
Obama wanted to get re-elected and he didn’t care if it meant people had to die for him to get it. In his mind, he truly believes that it was a sacrifice that this country was willing to make on his behalf, because he is arrogant, conceited, and pompous.

McCain is not ‘in bed with Obama’.
He is just, deep down, a reasonable and decent politician who – when pushed to the very limit (as at the rally where audience members were scared of Obama because ‘he is an Arab’) voiced his discontent at the extreme personal vilification of Obama driven by the GOP poropaganda machine.
He also shares some geopolitical philosophies with Obama, e.g. we have to work with allies in the Middle East. At the same time he is very critical. He just balks at crazy conspiracy theories.

Posted on February 18, 2013 at 6:17amThe biggest problem is we no longer have a President, we have a dictator. “If congress fails to act, I will act by way of Executive Actions”.
Obama acts outside of the Constitution again and again. He has no remorse. He obeys no laws. He is guilty of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” yet he is protected by the Lamestream Media (propaganda dept of the US). If this was truly a just society, we would see Obama swinging from the gallows, and at least half of congress as well.

I want Obama impeached as much as the next guy, but what good would it do to start impeachment proceedings? Those that did so would just be committing political suicide, and the Senate would never convict.
Like it or not, Obama is immune from impeachment, and all we can do is minimize the damage for the next 4 years, and wait for someone to be elected that might destroy the country with slightly less enthusiasm.
It’s that or civil war. Pick your poison.

It was the lying during the investigations and firing of the special prosecutor. Oh and of course the tapes. Anyway, how about some concern and outraged at the number of young Americans killed in Iraq. A war that was started based on a series of lies related to WMDs. But I guess 4.486 deaths is not something we should care about either.

Posted on February 18, 2013 at 9:31am@ Sendthemtalkingpoints…Why do you try to justify the glaring abuses of power by ObaMao by bringing up real or imagined abuses of president Bush? If Bush is so foul and inept why do you find it acceptable for the slug to imitate him. I see this tactic all the time from your type…. “Bush did it too”. You choose to believe your source, that’s fine. But even if you do, the fact is this incident happened under ObaMao and the slug is solely responsible for his own behavior. If you are incapable of addressing this incident without invoking the former president it’s because you have no argument or perhaps you have a higher opinion of Bush than you pretend, since you need to invoke his name in order to justify the slugs actions.

WMDs were one of a dozen or so reasons to go to war, which by the way never ended. I know you think the war ended, but then you never had skin in the game. There was an armistice & Iraq broke it repeatedly. Of course JROOK is of the opinion that if you break an armistice a few times & do nothing then it sets a precedent that you must do … well nothing.
JROOK better burn all those tapes of inspectors being held up by Iraqi personal during their surprise inspections in the mid & late 1990s. After you stall inspectors long enough then the effect of SURPRISE inspection is lost. All the stuff going out the back door & JROOK might as well as carried it himself.
Besides the WMDs are in Syria. Try again.

As I was typing I was thinking about the Russian meteor story. The progressive that posts under the name “SendtheMeteors” as well as other thinks his/her moniker of “Send the Meteors” is a great way of poking fun at libertarians & conservatives. She is mockingly accusing them of the ‘sky falling” or being ‘chicken little’.
What a leftist loon. The sky did fall & over 1,000 people were heart. The same day we have a larger asteroid pass by earth very close.
Maybe Meteors should visit Meteor Crater which is national park near Winslow, Arizona. It is a mile across in diameter & struck 50,000 years ago. If Meteors looked up more information they would find so many more craters of various ages around the earth.
But I doubt Meteors could do more than talk. There math skills are not up to speed to be part of any space endeavor.

Even if there’s damning evidence against him, and he gets impeached, 22 Democratic Senators are gonna have to be disillusioned enough to break their loyalty with him and vote to kick him out of the White House. That’s 22 people that you’d better hope have a shred of ethics in them.
I’m not saying it’s a waste of time, impeachment will certainly make Obama look bad, and this isn’t just a matter of lying to Congress over some Oval Office hanky-panky. But I’m not doubting that this would be an uphill battle.

The leaders of the states wanted a strong and fair national government. But they also wanted to protect individual freedoms and prevent the government from abusing its power. They believed they could do this by having three separate branches of government: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. This separation is described in the first three articles, or sections, of the Constitution.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 8:29pmThe US is attacked because after WWII, we used our power to prevent other dictators from taking over the world.
Ironically, many of the people who hate the US wouldn’t even be alive were it not for our largesse. They would have died of hunger, disease or war, or they would never have been born if the US hadn’t given them water, food, medicine, housing, security, etc.
And many of the nations with the wealth to buy weapons to attack us, wouldn’t have that wealth in this first place if the US hadn’t traded with them directly or indirectly.

Embassy attacks occur. Big deal. When entire staffs of individuals are hurried out of a country and a coverup takes place, that’s when the problems start.
I’m not judging, but if I was a member of congress, I would like to know if the administration actually did use this place for an operations point for Syria. I would also like to know who the forty or so people who were also there were.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 10:30pmSorry, Soybomb but your listing # 42 is inaccurate. There was no a group of violent protesters that stormed the US consulate at Benghazi (Libya) against the recent anti-Islam blasphemous video film. The film had nothing to do with the attack. It was a planned attack. There are a few questions that I have yet to hear that needs to be explained. Who came up with the lie about the “spontaneous protests” that was told for at least two weeks even after it was known to be a lie? Obama told this lie before the UN weeks after it was known to be untrue. Who told the two different commanders to “stand down” when they were preparing to send help? They were defying orders and were relieved of duty. They need to be brought to DC to tell what they know. You NEVER leave your men to die when help can be sent. NEVER!

But did you notice something about the list? Almost without exception, we knew who did the evil deed and why.
But with Benghazi, we were mislead and lied to; this administration did not want us to know the details and was willing to change the story to fit Obama’s foreign policy, which was, namely, that he had the whole “terrorist” situation under control.
Obama lied and people died!
How can anyone on here support a man and his administration, who was willing to let four brave people die so that Obama could be re-elected?
Obama is filth, plain and simple, and I am sure Satan has a nice comfortable chair waiting for him…

Even if troops had been sent to the Consulate at the first shot, they would have arrived after the fighting ended and would have not been in place to prevent the second attack across town.

Okay, maybe the two of you got your information from the Daily Kos because it did have a story that leaves the attacks and deaths to sound as though they actually did occur on Embassy grounds and that all of the deaths were Embassy employees of either local nationals or Americans. So, I took the opportunity to look up each and every one of those listed in MEAT’s post above. Damn MEAT, you really had your tap dancing shoes of for that performance. Let’s start with the 2006 attack in Greece. That was a single RPG fired into an empty and unguarded building. No fatalities, no injuries, but YOU just had to include it, LOL! 2006, Pakistan attack was the ramming of Diplomat David Foy’s car with a car bomb, killing him and his driver, as well the occupants of the car bomb. Why did I mention them? Its a really funny thing about these death statistics. The total given by the two meat heads listed above include all of the terrorists killed in action to include the suicide bombers. They certainly were not Embassy employees, but they got counted by these two as well the Kos. Oh, the ramming occurred a short distance from the Embassy and not on the grounds. Of all of these attacks, almost all of them occurred off the embassy grounds. The majority of the deaths were local police and soldiers, and Foy was the only U.S. and his driver was the only employee confirme

Posted on February 18, 2013 at 8:50amDORA & MEAT Continued.
I see that I got cut off even with a number of spaces remaining.
Of all of these attacks as I was saying, Foyβs driver is the only embassy employee that I can actually confirm. But, the police and soldiers killed were for the most part guarding the exterior of several embassies. Many of the attacks were car bombs that were detonated remotely or timed. The closest was some 20 meters from the intended building or gate. Obviously the terrorists have no concern for their own countrymen who happen to be near or passing by. Those people make the majority of the tragic deaths and injuries.
Okay, sit back and think about this smokescreen provided by these three. I say three because the Kos says the same thing. When it comes to comparing these attacks to the Benghazi attack is like comparing apples to walnuts. The multitude of attacks they discuss were began quickly and were over in mere minutes if not seconds for most. The whole question with Benghazi is why no assistance was allowed during a known multi-hour coordinated assault. Regardless of the other excuses, we had fighter jet aircraft on the ground in Italy and Spain that could have been overhead within 20 to 30 minutes of becoming airborne. Why did those in charge allow it to continue while 0bama went to bed so he could campaign the following morning?
DORA and MEAT continue to prove Mark Twain right, lies, damned lies and statistics.

Posted on February 18, 2013 at 11:47pm@VERCEOFBS: 54 embassies members KILLED UNDER BUSH
Where was Republican outrage?
Why should there have been republican outrage? Bush didn’t make up some BS story about the killings being caused by a laughable anti muslim movie, then have the nutty producer in America arrested as opposed to going after the blood thirsty bad guys where the killings happened. When the average person knew differently, he didn’t continue on for weeks with the stupid story line about a movie being the cause. He didn’t call the victims bumps in the road. His secretary of state didn’t say about the dead Americans: “What difference, at this point, does it make ….”. Of course there wasn’t that three stooge finger pointing comedy routine where everyone points the finger to someone else with the inevitable “it wasn’t me” where officials being questioned also strangely didn’t know who did or was responsible for anything. Witness to the incident didn’t mysteriously vanish for comment. These are some of the reasons republicans and level headed truth seeking Americans weren’t outraged, but are over the Benghazi incident.
You know this, you just come here to confuse the issue with you tomfoolery and to cover for the criminal activities of your president because you are affaired he’ll be impeached if an earnest investigation takes place.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 7:20pmI don’t care for McCain because he’s a RINO but if he can get an investigation going that leads to the impeachment and ouster of the Marxist mulatto I could get behind that effort.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 8:03pmOn that I have to agree, something is telling me even the progressives are beginning to see the monster they have created in Pres Obama. The progressives want to dominate and rule America, but not to be dominated and ruled by an man who has declared he wants to be an Emperor as Obama has.
We may have seen the end of the Republican party as we have known it, but we have also seen the endgame for the Democratic party as well under Obama.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 9:00pmOn foreign policy, McCain is no RINO. When national security is a stake, he remembers his days at the Hanoi Hilton. Perhaps he needs to look at the Democrats across the isle as the enemies that they are. Then he might become useful in domestic policy battles too. The days of playing “lets make a deal” with Joe Lieberman are finished. The other Party is now an enemy of the United States and will destroy it from within.

He will not put America first, he only spews far-left propaganda, stirs the pot and then goes on vacation, comes back and says ‘the republicans’ are the problem. No, obama, you are the problem! And the sooner you are out, hopefully in shackles, the better America will be.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 7:56pmCivil war,
I have actually had the overt unity to go into the “senate news” studio hidden in Capitol. That is where your tax money produces fake news pieces with fake reporters to be sent back home. It’s quite extraordinary.
One of the studios heads was a George Town lawyer a while back. Now he’s out west working in cardiology in surgery as a cardiac PA. He said the sins of his past lying to Americans has caused him to due penance. I almost couldn’t stop laughing. The drugs and prostitution and criminal activity of dc is very dangerous for America.
The left has turned it into a bunch of addicted takers.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 7:05pmDemocrats are well practiced in doing a lot of squirming to keep a step ahead of their guilt. Even when they leave bodies. Ted Kennedy’s road to being the ‘Lion of the Senate’ whatever that means was paved by helpful friends, politicians, media and corrupt authorities after he left a woman to die. And they’ll do it with the Americans they abandoned in Benghazi. John McCain in particular knows the feeling of abandonment by his government.

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 7:04pmWay to GO John McCain!
The Senator is absolutely right! There are FAR too many unanswered questions about what happened at Benghazi. And, yes, those who totally screwed-up SHOULD be held accountable! So, too, should anyone who tried to cover-up the facts!
Unfortunately, the media does NOT want the facts to come out, nor do they want ANYTHING that might hurt Obama’s image to be known by the general public. Therefore, it’s likely that the true FACTS of what happened will never be known.
Sad! Very, very sad!

Posted on February 18, 2013 at 7:18amTRIPL7,
whether DG cares isn’t important, he’s a ‘journalist’ who works FOR the WH, like 99% of them out there.
What ****** me off is the (R)’s en masse, like McCain, who sit on their hands and DON’T stand up for US. McCain has been as ineffectual as any (R) out there. They bend to agreements with (D)s time after time after time, and all on the premise that it’s ‘for the good of the people’! Then after the fact, they say, ‘well, we tried’, with a sad look on their face.
So for McCain to, once again, get on his high horse and start bitching about how this administration does things or how they won’t talk about Benghazi is absolutely galling.
Both Houses of Congress have they ability to call hearings, demand answers, issue subpoenas and hold people in Contempt. But NEITHER House is doing so. I understand why the Senate isn’t doing it. But McCain has friends in the House of Reps from AZ AND other states. Surely to Pete, they should be able to get SOMETHING done by working together!
But I for one, I am NOT holding my breath!
