That’s supposed to be Obama? It looks like Mr. Ramirez was tripping on something when he drew this one. Someone should tell him that the ears are usually positioned above the shoulders.
The newest info on Benghazi is an admitted opinion made by a state department official. I suppose this cartoon makes Mr. Ramirez popular with his base, but with information still being collected, I wish he would address some of the other issues that are definitely effecting our nation and its foreign policy.As I read some of the comments above, I am thinking about the various and conflicting reports I hear and read on the media. The truthiness on this topic seems to be more prevalent than any straightforward facts.@ ScottPM – the efforts of Republican controlled statehouses to limit voting among those who traditionally vote Democrat makes your comment that Dems only want power at everybody else’s expense farcical. Despite SCOTUS decisions giving access to voting to students at out of state colleges, Ohio and North Carolina are working to make it harder for students to vote at the colleges where they attend, and other states are making access to the polls more limited, or requiring specific types of paperwork.The party you defending is working to make it harder for honest americans to vote, but easy for honest americans to buy guns. Sadly, they are making it easy for dishonest americans to buy guns as well. Why are gun rights more precious than voting rights, Scott?Respectfully,C.
It seems apparent that many posters believe that the degree of outrageousness of presidential action is different if the president is a democrat or a republican. I submit that it’s the same, regardless of political party. Until we recognize that there is incompetence, lack of leadership, and an unwillingness to get along on both sides of the aisle, all we do is trade insults. At least some of us are getting good at it.
You know what’s interesting? No matter how much Obama screws up, no one has the guts to say how much better Mitt Romney would have done under the circumstances. I guess this is a continuation of the theme: I never met a Romney supporter, just an Obama-hater.
Jeff T said, about 7 hours ago“How many times will Ramirez reference this story? If he’s going to keep rehashing it, at least do something funny with it.”-Ramirez, as does all Americans who believe in Justice, will refererence this scandal as long as it takes to get the full and honest accounting completed.-the President, Sec’y State and Sec’y Defense did a stonewall of this tragic news of 4 murdered Americans at Benghazi.the lapdog MSM helped the COVER-UP, and false narrative the White House set up from day one, 9/11/12.-Unanswered Questions may start to get answers Wednesday 5/8/13 in the House committee hearing, from officials who were gagged by Hillary and Obama, under threat of career punishment. There are many unanswered questions:where was Obama and Hillary during the 9 hour attacks?Why were our Special Ops teams not sent? Why was the non-response chosen for political reasons over and above the safety of Americans left alone (all other foreign officials pulled out beforehand) and the duty to attempt rescue.-Why did the Obama leaders pretend for 7 or 8 days that the attack was by protestors of a video? “protestors with military grade weapons”? Why did the MSM help stonewall—-was it to protect O’s re-election?
Benghazi: Stevens chose to leave Tripoli and go to Benghazi, against all advice from the Libyans who said they couldn’t protect him, and neither could a small detail of Marines OR private security. He took a chance, and lost.
Saying that planes three hours away could have made a difference in just two hours, is ludicrous. Issa’s folks are like trying to say we’d have saved the people of Hiroshima by sending them sunglasses, on September 15th, 1945.
Right. Four People dying in an embassy on hostile territory is much more damning than killing thousands of civilians based on a hunch. And when did he promise that terrorist were gonna lay down when he got elected? You need to stop watching Fixed News.
“You mean when the world removed saddam? And the foreign jihadists we had to clean up killed the Americans and Iraqi civilians?”
Gonna use one of your sock puppets to answer me? Well, which lie to pick off:
“And the foreign jihadists we had to clean up killed the Americans and Iraqi civilians?
There were no jihadist in Iraq because Saddam was a dictator, meaning if anyone was plotting anything he’d already know about it. When we got rid of him, guess where all the Jihadist went? You guessed it! They went straight into Iraq! http://tinyurl.com/pamjb
”And every elected official that stood up and pounded their fists demanding that saddam had used WMD’s…“
No official was demanding war except of course the War Shrub Administration since they never met a conflict they didn’t like. Remember, it was Colin Powell with that vial of dirt that got Congress to vote on the resolution (they never voted to declare war). http://tinyurl.com/a2wa8r2
”…even saddam said he had WMD’s and was going to use them?"
You’re gonna have to prove that one cuz I can’t find anything credible that states that he admitted to it, unless of course you’re counting the ones that Papa Bush sold him.
I didn’t twist anything. I’m going on your notion that we should investigate Obama over four American Deaths in a hostile enviornment instead of investigating the previous administration who’s only goal was war and profit at the expense of American and Iraqi lives.
@Ansonialet’s assume everything you say is true. Nixon would have been impeached for covering up a crime, which is itself a crime. Clinton was impeached (unsuccessfully) for lying under oath – a crime.you say repeatedly, that Obama lied to coverup his incompetence. neither lying nor incompetence is a crime. no impeachable offense here.the right has tried so many times over so many things to attack Obama, sometimes fairly, oftentimes not, that they have lost their veracity. Like the boy who cried wolf.After the swiftboaters, and the birthers and the (keep on counting, I can’t anymore), it’s just so much noise. I’m not listening anymore to any ridiculous charges the right wing hurls in the attempt to HOPE something sticks.
so 49 you ask Amb. Stevens was warned and he still went anyway. Where is his responsibility? why did he obey clinton ? good question

How many times will Ramirez reference this story? If he’s going to keep rehashing it, at least do something funny with it.

YEAH. He should be focusing on important things like Fast & Furious.

I wish you cons would have shown this much vim and vigor when we invaded Iraq which resulted in:
4,000 dead American Soldiers
33,000 wounded American Soldiers
100,000 Iraqi civillian deaths
$1 billion dollars of cold hard cash that has yet to be accounted for.
Non-Existent WMDs
And this was before Obama took office.
