Amazing that GOPers still turn a blind eye, to the biggest lie, ever. Even Gulf of Tonkin was at least an excuse to defend our “allies” engaged in a war to stop dominoes, that the Republicans totally suported.

Still the same old Dumbocrat talking point that if O fails again and again, just blame Bush. So old and so tired. How old are you?

The Benghazi incident is not making world news. I have only read about it in these editorial comics. Losing an ambassador is very serious news indeed, especially if due to bad intelligence.
But how does that compare to what eventuated in Iraq, which lost a lot of USA lives, hundreds of thousands of civilians, and was the major precipitant for your recession, massive deficit and the GFC?
So, if blame is going to be actioned for this incident, is anyone getting prosecuted for far worse?

@Radish
Are you saying the domino effect?
Leading to a republican senator after going through the Rube Goldberg machine?

Please say they wouldn’t put that agenda ahead of America.

it is truly sad to see a man who used to be respected by those on the other side of the aisle turn into what McCain has now become.

Hillary was part of that “lie” too, wasn’t she?

Sarin gas isn’t a WMD? Why did Iraq troops have gas masks if there was none in his arsenal?

McCain couldn’t find his butt with two hands and a flashlight.

“On May 16, 2004, a 152 mm artillery shell was used as an improvised bomb. The shell exploded and two U.S. soldiers were treated for minor exposure to a nerve agent (nausea and dilated pupils). On May 18 it was reported by U.S. Department of Defense intelligence officials that tests showed the two-chambered shell contained the chemical agent sarin, the shell being “likely” to have contained three to four liters of the substance (in the form of its two unmixed precursor chemicals prior to the aforementioned explosion that had not effectively mixed them). Former U.S. weapons inspector David Kay told the Associated Press that “he doubted the shell or the nerve agent came from a hidden stockpile, although he didn’t rule out that possibility.” Kay also considered it possible that the shell was “an old relic overlooked when Saddam said he had destroyed such weapons in the mid-1990s.”It is likely that the insurgents who planted the bomb did not know it contained sarin, according to Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, and another U.S. official confirmed that the shell did not have the markings of a chemical agent.The Iraq Survey Group later concluded that the shell “probably originated with a batch that was stored in a Al Muthanna CW complex basement during the late 1980s for the purpose of leakage testing”
“In a July 2, 2004, article published by The Associated Press and Fox News, it was reported that sarin gas warheads dating back to the last Iran–Iraq War were found in South Central Iraq by Polish Allies. The Polish troops secured munitions on June 23, 2004, but it turned out that the warheads did not in fact contain sarin gas but “were all empty and tested negative for any type of chemicals”—and it transpired that the Poles had bought the shells for $5,000 each. The United States abandoned its search for WMDs in Iraq on January 12, 2005.“
”On September 30, 2004, the U.S. Iraq Survey Group Final Report concluded that “ISG has not found evidence that Saddam Husayn (sic) possessed WMD stocks in 2003, but the available evidence from its investigation—including detainee interviews and document exploitation—leaves open the possibility that some weapons existed in Iraq although not of a militarily significant capability”

The British and Iraq armies began cleaning up Saddam’s WMDs earlier this year. The work continues today.

The Democrats voted for the wars….and continued to fund the wars, even as they complained about them.
masterskrain said, 6 months ago
Can you just imagine the trouble the country would be in right now if McCain, and Klondike Barbie had actually managed to steal the election?
The U.S. Military would be in about 5 more wars around the world, the deficit would be about 15 trillion more to pay for them, the casualty counts would be climbing higher and higher, and, most frightening thought of all, the stress might have caused the geezer to keel over, leaving us with;
“President Palin”! EVERYBODY PANIC!!!

‘The Iraq and British armies are cleaning up Saddam’s WMDs as we read this strip. The cleanup began earlier this year. You won’t see it in the Marxist leaning US news though..’
Mind if you share with me, resident on these fair isles, articles in the BRITISH press that report on this clean up by the British? And please make sure they are not Marxist leaning U.K. news; make sure it is the Tory leaning papers The Daily Telegraph or The Times (of London).
:-| Yeah, thought so. KNow what we say in the U.K.? What a load of Bollocks
