(62,325 posts)other side and you will see that THEY believe THEY had a fantastic week.
Democrats will react to the 'red team/blue team meme because we have been conditioned to do so. So even the most avid Bernie supporter who is a Democrat is going to oppose the other team.
What I hear from people who watched those hearings is more in line with what people who have opposed the PNAC agenda from day one.
'Why are they not investigating the Invasion itself'? Because of course there would be no Benghazi if that terrible invasion had not occurred in the first place.
And we know now that those who opposed it were correct in their predictions. It is now a humanitarian crime in progress with so many innocent people murdered, raped, robbed tortured and many of course who are trying to flee our 'Humanitarian Intervention' many drowning in boats too small to carry them as they try to reach Europe.
We are not all blind to the real issue here.
Nor to the fact that this was Hillary's 'baby'. Horrible. The Refugee crisis, similar to the refugee crises in Iraq, was caused by these invasions.
Her policies are a DISASTER and Benghazi was inevitable once the US decided to invade Libya, or something similar. War is hell which is why we should NEVER engage in war unless it is absolutely necessary.
Libya was far from necessary.
How is Hillary going to win the GE with ZERO crossover votes? Republicans will not be voting for her. They are signing up with Bernie's campaign however, more moderate Repubs.
And the largest registered voting bloc now in the country, Independents? Many are Dems who have left the party precisely because of its swing to the right, the wars, Wall St influence etc.
The Repubs of course, while they put on a show re these invasions when Dems follow the PNAC map, are all for them too. So THEY and SHE will not talk about the main issue.
I am surprised by how many people are saying this: 'Why is this investigation NOT about the real issue, the ill-fated invasion itself'
Any bump she got wasn't really for her, it was for the Blue Team V the Red Team.
