What a contrast!

[Octafish]

from our good friend, Bartcop:

Three thousand people died on 9/11 and Bush and Cheney were questioned in a closed session.

Four people died in Benghazi and Hillary Clinton was questioned in public.

Does anybody besides me think this is wrong?

-- Eckhard

I also think it's wrong. And I'd like to see Bush and Cheney held to account for their lies, actions and inactions that led to the deaths of a million Iraqis and 6,663 Americans, and plundered trillions from the U.S. Treasury for their cronies.

1. America lives by two standards

One where the bad guys get off easy and the good ones get punished.

[ananda]

12. We live in bizarro backwards world.

Sociopaths with money and power, and the nutters who follow them, abide by no civil laws or rules, not even the Constitution; whereas liberals, protesters, whistleblowers, and leakers are harassed, jailed, or forced out of office.

[chervilant]

25. AND

Can't get a job...

[Control-Z]

2. Haven't we all been thinking

the same?

But who complains about an investigation into the death of even one American?

It is along the lines of asking a mother, who was forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy, if she loves and wants her child. I don't know of any woman who would say otherwise, even if she may love that child, but in her heart still wishes she hadn't been forced to have it.

Pretty messed up.

[Demo_Chris]

3. I think questioning Benghazi is fine. But we should have seriously questioned 9-11

We still should actually.

[leveymg]

4. Keep asking the hard questions.

If not you, who? If not now, when?

Thanks from all of us.

[rhett o rick]

5. Hey, you said 9-11. Off to the CT dungeon.

It wasnt necessary to question Cheney and dipshit because the elite knew full well what happened and Cheney and dipshit did what was expected. Cheney ran the country from his bunker while dipshit "acted" stupid.

The elite also know what happened in Benghazi but want to embarrass Sec Clinton and Pres Obama.

[kairos12]

6. They also testified not under oath--only way they would open their mouths

[Old and In the Way]

11. And together, too.

Dick couldn't have Dimbulb screwing up the story by testifying separately. Amazijg how fast this investigation got fast tracked.but a public investigation of 9/ 11 took years to materialize..no thanks to the Republican House and Senate who controlled both chambers. No outrage then.

[DollarBillHines]

19. I always thought that Uncle Dick was holding Li'l Boots' hand.

They absolutely didn't want the idjit to be in that chamber alone.

[kairos12]

26. Also, because Cheney had his hand up Shrub's ass puppet style.

[NewJeffCT]

32. If I'm not mistaken

the questioners were also not allowed to take notes, record the conversations, etc.

[aptal]

7. They should be tried now for treason!

[Hulk]

8. AND Colin Powell...

...was on "the hannity" nonsense program tonight. I was nearly yelling at the TV when Powell made it sound like it was the CIA's fault that his information at the UN speech of his was absolute bull shit. "Hey, Cheney, Bush, ....everyone believed what I was saying was the truth". ...more or less. Absolute bull shit. Just when I start to think this ass hole has a soul worth saving, he throws up the old "RepuKKKe denial of responsibility" to avoid looking like he misled the American people and THE WORLD.

Worthless sack of human waste.

[DollarBillHines]

20. Heck, I knew it was bullshit and I was just watching the teevee

And then there was George Tenet, sitting right there behind My Lai Powell.

[Auntie Bush]

23. George Tenet got a Medal of Freedom! Sickening!

Someone needs to destroy the damn thing!

10. My biggest disappointment with the Obama administration

has been the failure to hold anyone accountable for the atrocities of the Bush Adminstration and, in fact, the continuation of its surveillance policies.

[ReRe]

13. Democrats, as a rule, have nothing to hide...

...unlike the Bush cabal who had to hide everything..

And then of course, Nancy and PO in 2009 said nope, not gonna' go there. Let bygones be bygones. We have two sets of rules. One for them, and one for the rest of us. One for Wall Street, and one for the rest of us.

I just wish we all lived by the same rules.

[nineteen50]

14. It's about the

Money.

[young_at_heart]

15. Not under oath....why not??

Who let THAT happen?

[bigbrother05]

17. House and Senate both in R hands, go figure

[Octafish]

22. No big brouhaha was raised by my Party. Then, too, the call was for "bi-partisanship.'

16. You can't expect accountability from a Republican. 'Nuff said.

[lunatica]

18. The pile of Wrong from the Republicans grows daily.

[Uncle Joe]

21. Not only closed, but Bush the Least and Cheney would only do it together, probably because

they were afraid of having their testimonies (stories) trip each other up had they been questioned separately.

Thanks for the thread, Octafish.

[libodem]

24. Exactly

You said it!!!

[Beartracks]

27. Furthermore, those 3,000 died ON OUR OWN SOIL. n/t

[Permanut]

28. Benghazi is still the number one talking point..

Or close behind the gun control BS on right wing radio. Hannity, Larson, Levin, Huckabee all keep hammering away at it. I check in every day or so with these wingnuts, and even though I can't stand more than about five minutes of any of them, I still hear something about Benghazi.

[raouldukelives]

29. K&R

Couldn't agree more.

[Cleita]

30. Different rules for them and us, it seems.

Really disgusting.

[robertpaulsen]

31. Brilliant perspective!

What a contrast indeed. One investigation was a whitewash, the other investigation a witch hunt. Can you imagine Richard Ben-Veniste telling Condi Rice he would have fired her the way Rand Paul bloviated about Hillary Clinton?

[ProudProgressiveNow]

33. K&R nt

[Hotler]

34. Now is not the time time to point fingers.

Wow! I never thought about it this way. I should have. Thanks for posting this thought Octafish.
