McCain claims "massive cover-up on Benghazi"

While discussing the contentious confirmation hearings for defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel, things got a bit heated on Sunday's "Meet The Press" when Sen. John McCain referred to the lack of information from the White House surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi as a "massive cover-up."

"There are so many answers we don't know," McCain told host David Gregory. "We've had two movies about getting bin Laden and we don't even know who the people were who were evacuated from the consulate the day after the [Benghazi] attack. So there are many, many questions. So we've had a massive cover-up on the part of the administration."

Gregory then pressed McCain on what the Arizona senator meant by "a massive cover-up."

"I'm asking you, do you care whether four Americans died?" McCain said. "And shouldn't people be held accountable for the fact that four Americans died?"

"Well, what you said was the cover-up--a cover-up of what?" Gregory asked.

"Of the information concerning the deaths of four brave Americans," McCain replied. "The information has not been forthcoming. You obviously believe that it has. I know that it hasn't. And I'll be glad to send you a list of the questions that have not been answered, including 'What did the president do and who did he talk to the night of the attack on Benghazi?'"

McCain continued: "Why did the president for two weeks, for two weeks during the heat of the campaign continue to say he didn't know whether it was a terrorist attack or not? Is it because it interfered with the line 'Al Qaeda has [been] decimated'? And 'everything's fine in that in that part of the world'? Maybe. We don't know. But we need the answers. Then we'll reach conclusions. But we have not received the answers. And that's a fact."

Obama voters don't care, and probably haven't paid any attention. Just feed them a few simple lines to repeat and don't take their free phones and food stamps.

And this is the problem with the Rep's/Tea Baggers of today.

You spend WAY too much time with worry about what WAS and not looking to the future and ways to grow and improve.

All you want to do is sit in that same pile and just stir it around and around.

Creates a helluva dirt storm but accomplishes nothing.

I'm sure it would create a dirt storm if there wasn't so much blood, all I see is red mud.

Learned behavior from the left during Iraq.

That's the problem with the left and them getting teabagged they just can't reasonably look at what the right is doing. I guess they've been hit with a teabag once to often

McCain is about as much a tea bagger as OldPrevaricator is a conservative.

As for the subject at hand, yeah, you gotta go with Kola on this one.

What's the big deal about 4 Americans serving their country in Libya being murdered and then the King's administration saying for a week or two that it was the fault of a video when they knew otherwise?

Then there was the King saying he'd issued 3 directives when he learned that the spontaneous mob po'd about the video had attacked them but, to date, no evidence has been produced of those directives and his Sec of Defense says he received no subsequent phone calls, no updated orders, nothing, after a previously scheuduled meeting with the King during the spontaneous attack by a mob po'd about a video.

Nothing to see here folks, please move along and let's stay focused on important stuff like bankrupting the country and soaking the rich who don't pay their fair share. :roll:

I thought learning about the mistakes of the past, was how you avoid the same mistakes, in the future.

Silly me. :roll:

In one sense it's kind of hard to believe she actually wrote what she did. But in another, if you're a supporter of Obama, it's logical.

I imagine she'll soon make the same comment to OT when he whines about Bush who hasn't been in office since Jan of 2009.







:lol: I crack myself up sometimes. :lol:
