This Benghazi thing; it's a perfect example of the double standards as applied to Clinton. Prior to Benghazi, were there 13 attacks on embassies and 60 deaths under President George W. Bush. Where was the outrage then? Where were the hearings then?
- rebelidealist 10y agoYou missed the point. She was the most vocal about striking Libya in the first place.
- nickbauman 10y agoLike George Bush was vocal about striking Iraq in the first place but got elected twice.
- nikcub 10y agoCrazy to think they could both be wrong.
- Grishnakh 10y agoBush wasn't elected by progressives. Being pro-war isn't going to earn you progressive votes. The progressives sat out this election because Hillary wasn't progressive enough. There were 4M fewer votes cast this year than in 2008.
- nickbauman 10y agoI up-voted you because this is the first time I heard that.
- vkou 10y agoHe said Gaddafi, not Benghazi. Benghazi was a political dog and pony show, that she is completely blameless of. Libya and Gaddafi were a humanitarian disaster that rests squarely on her shoulders.
- nickbauman 10y agoLike Iraq rests on Bush's shoulders and cost him the election?
- vkou 10y agoNo, but it is a reason for why a number of liberals feel little but contempt for Clinton.
- gph 10y agoIt should have. And it would have if he belonged to the party that contains a majority portion of anti-war/pacifist types. Can't sell out the major beliefs of your base and expect them to show up at the polls.
