D’oh! Boehner's E-mail That Is Supposed To Prove Benghazi Is Worse Than Watergate-FIZZLES...

[kpete]

D’oh!

In a new twist in the dingbat word game at the heart of the Benghazi scandal, that email that Speaker Boehner demanded in a grandstanding stunt yesterday doesn’t actually use the phrase ‘Islamic terrorists’ as he claimed.

* The Benghazi email Republicans want released: House Speaker John Boehner is calling for the release of an email that is supposed to prove that State Department officials knew that “Islamic terrorists” carried out the embassy attacks, without acknowledging it. But the New York Times reports:

A copy of the e-mail reviewed by The New York Times indicates that A. Elizabeth Jones, the senior State Department official who wrote it, referred to “Islamic extremists,” not terrorists. The distinction is important, administration officials said, because while the White House did not initially characterize the attack as terrorism, senior officials, including Ambassador Susan E. Rice, acknowledged the possibility that extremists had been involved in the assault.

2. Has Hillary said "What difference does it make!?"

Fuck em.

4. No, no, no, not that email. let's see...it's another email. That's it. When Obama......no, no, no,

I mean Hillary Clinton comes clean and releases all the emails....then we can get to the bottom of this or at the very least begin the process of finding out the truth. Jeesh! Can we now investigate the war in Iraq?

7. All of this because Republicans freaked out to see people chanting "USA! USA!" outside the WH...

CHEERING Obama for taking out Bin Laden.

They HAD to take that away from him somehow. So they manufactured a scandal where there was none and it's really a joke when you get down to it.
Their basic story is that Obama was strutting around DC claiming he won the and refused to call the attackers of the Consulate "terrorists".

That was humiliatingly proven WRONG during the debates.



Now it's just stubbornness on their part to not let this thing go. Tell them there's no scandal and they accuse you of not caring about dead Americans.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

6. Yeah,...because all "terrorists" were responsible for 9/11...

Republicans are childish and dangerous.

[cui bono]

8. Please proceed.

Please proceed, Mr. Speaker.
