Piece of Crap Issah at it again. Planning Oct Surprise?

Last edited Tue Oct 2, 2012, 05:04 PM - Edit history (1)

I just read a post at Daily Kos that Issah has information that diplomats in Banghazi previously
asked for more protection at Consulate before the attack. They are trying to turn it into
a 3:00 a.m. failure. Oversight Committee to investigate.
The guy who posted stated at end. "This shit is going to get nasty"

Any of you guys have more info and does it sound like the guy who posted
is just trying to stir up shit?

2. GOP: Consulate received multiple threats, had requested security

Two House Republicans say they have been informed by whistleblowers that the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was attacked and threatened 13 times before the incident last month that killed four Americans.

Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) sent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a letter on Tuesday that detailed the whistleblowers’ allegations.

“Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012,” Issa and Chaffetz wrote. “It was clearly never, as Administration officials once insisted, the result of a popular protest."

The congressmen said the consulate asked for more security to deal with the growing threat but was turned down by the administration.

and repeatedly insulted the Brits with his dazzling Foreign Affairs Gaffes.

RMONEY's European vacation looked more like a blooper reel than a successful tour by an American statesman.

The only "October Surprise" here is the bill the tax payers are going to get for another one of his phoney witch hunts.

Romney blew what he fantasized was his "gotcha" moment. So they waited a decent interval and are hoping for a re-do. Too late.

*Issa's witch hunts lost any and all credibility with Fast and Furious.
*Things are moving too fast to go back in time.

It's a full out gallop FORWARD from here to the finish line.

More of a diplomatic outpost.

The US is free to send support to any of our embassies in any country, that's how it works.

Diplomatic outposts in sovereign countries? Not so much....

Just more blowhard 'pubbie bullshit.
