This is a pathetic story! Graham is using Benghazi to win his primar4y….he is being primaried from the Right and he needs something that will divert attention….this is a pathetic attempt to do just that…….
As reported by Time magazine……..
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday he will block President Barack Obama’s nominees for executive branch positions until survivors of the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi testify before Congress.
“And where are the survivors? Fourteen months later, the people who survived the attack in Benghazi have not been made available to the U.S. Congress for oversight purposes,” Graham said on Fox & Friends Monday morning, referring to the attack in Libya that left four Americans dead, including the top American diplomat there. “So I’m going to block every appointment in the United States Senate until the survivors are being made available to Congress.”
Graham, a Republican, has been a critic of the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.
His vow comes on the heels of a 60 Minutes report Sunday that revealed new details about the sophistication behind the attack. Critics have accused the White House of misleading the public in the first days following the attack, when the Administration’s public statements portrayed it as a random act of mob violence rather than a coordinated terrorist assault. The 60 Minutes report includes interviews with eyewitnesses who described warning signs in the days leading up the assault, like al-Qaeda flags flying in the streets of Benghazi and online postings stating al-Qaeda’s intentions.
Survivors? I thought that there were NO survivors of the attack that all 4 people were killed…….do we need to rehash this faux scandal again….just to massage the political ego of a tired old man?
Just once I would like to hear a politician with ideas anbout saving this country from ruin….but NO..they have to use some mental trickery to get elected and then we learn what worthless a/holes they really are….when it is too late!!
NOTE: As normal when I single out an individual in a post I send them a copy of the post by email and welcome their input…..Graham is more than welcome to respond and I will publish his response or challenge….I wait!
Just another shameful exhibition of trying to tarnish the image of Obama with something that could have and likely just as easily would have occurred on a McCain or Romney watch. Rather than connect all the dots to see what truly happened and fix it, Lindsey and his fellow obstructionists are there to do nothing more than score points for themselves in the slim hopes of capitalizing off of it in the next election cycle.
Meanwhile jobs continue to rebound at a snails pace, man-made climate change continues to threaten us for generations and the only ones who think that Americans are exceptional anymore are the knuckle-draggers that want to return this country to an 18th century state.
Graham is a typical politician…..he will say what will get votes….no concern with the country….just their own little pathetic world….
Senator Huckleberry J. Butchmeup, as Charles Pierce calls him, needs to kept it alive to make him appear “tough” for all the yahoos in SC.
HIya Daniel nice to see you…..yeah….I kinda thought it was re-election rhetoric….keep the voter looking at something other than his record……
And talking about him being light in his loafers (not that there is anything worth with that).
HA! Good one…thanx I needed that this morning….chuq
