    I have a friend who was in a hummer that ran over an IED in Iraq, killed everyone except him and he is fucked up forever, 3rd degree burns from head to toe, his face basically melted off, he says the VA is shit. He moved to Colorado so he could use marijuana as a pain killer instead of getting hooked on OxyContin, that's one thing that sucks, Vets should be allowed access to marijuana. But about the VA he said it's absolutely terrible. It takes forever to get seen and they regularly cancel appointments.

    What's interesting is why isn't his and many other lives that were ended or ruined forever important but the 4 in Benghazi are? Did George Bush get brought before congress or have 9 investigations into his lying about Iraq? If someone can explain why those lives aren't important and these are I'd love to hear it.

    I saw no such videos in any of the links you posted. Which one?

    Of course. You never would have seen it if you hadn't believed it.

    Look, she made no public statements as Secretary of State blaming the film for the fatal attack in Benghazi. But there were attacks on numerous other US embarrass going on at the same time that WERE related to the film, and street protests going on in dozens of muslim countries including one in Benghazi!

    She wasn't the Secretary of Benghazi, she was Secretary of State and there was trouble all over that she was dealing with. Terrorists took advantage of the unrest to stage an attack. As Secretary, she was dealing with 35 embassies and consulates under threat, definitely caused by the film. Then a fatal attack that had terrorists hallmarks comes along. It is impossible to make the case that the unrest caused by the video is unrelated to the Benghazi attack.

    So Clinton can quite honestly make the statement that the attack seemed like an Al Qaida attack. She can also honestly say that a video triggered the international unrest that culminated in Benghazi, but which was taken out on embassies around the world.

    And third parties can misunderstand the difference.

    As Secretary of State, we must assess her on her public statements, not on the recollections of others. You can believe what you want to. But I can honestly say that Hillary never made public statements to that effect. The email to Chelsea only corroborates that Hillary knew that it was a terrorist attack and not a riot out of control. And she never said that it wasn't. But she also knew very well. That the video caused the mass protests and those 35 embassy crises, including Benghazi.

    That is what I am saying. I don't know how to make it any clearer for you. The eight investigations found nothing improper happened. You grasp at straws.

    If you want to imagine that she lied to grieving parents for some reason, be my guest. Don't expect everybody to.

    That's right . . . she didn't. Here is what she said . . .

    This has been a difficult week for the State Department and for our country. We’ve seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.
    Two sentences, both absolutely true.

    1. There was a heavy assault on the Benghazi Post.
    2. Rage and violence was directed at many US embassies because of a hateful video .

    A child can understand the difference. You have no case.

    Bullshit Red you are parsing words and ignoring context. Only a lawyer would attempt such a weak retort.

    I spoke clearly and in context. Both of her statements are true, you have just been purposely confusing and conflating them in an attempt make nothing into something. Go ahead and add "context" if you wish. Nobody is fooled. You can't make her say something she did not say.

    All this witch hunt is doing is bolstering Clinton.

    Anybody who believes that a YouTube video caused the attacks is a gullible and naive fool. The attacks occured on 9/11. Does that tell you anything?

I won't let you get away with it. The video caused riots all around the world and they were all rioting about the video. Five other embassies were attacked by rioting crowds. You can't pretend it never happened just because Hillary is a presidential candidate you don't want to see in a fair election. Only a gullible and naive idiot would say bullshit that I can disprove easily. I'll even use FOXnews to do it.
