The US has condemned the anti-Islam film along with the filmmakers. It has also tightened security at its diplomatic facilities around the world.

Demonstrations over the 14-minute trailer on Youtube of an anti-Islam film called Innocence of Muslims spread across the Muslim world with huge protests in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Morocco, Bangladesh and Australia.

Mike Huckabee is predicting that Obama will not complete his 4 year term in the office, calling the Benghazi cover up worse than Watergate.  

Think he is on to something here?  

Calling for President's impeachment is no laughing matter.

But lets face it. Obama and Hillary covered up the attack on Sept 11,2012  because it didn't fit in with the narrative that Al-Qaeda was on the run, in the light of the Presidential election. So Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton blame it on some stupid nonsensical video...They sent Susan Rice to cover up for them on 5 different Sunday talk shows.  Obama himself went in front of UN and blamed it on the video

Remember Joe Wilson (R-SC) who yelled at the President "You lie..."... Well he lied alright !!!  

Thoughts?

First of all, no one cares about what Huckabee thinks.  Second, I'm really tired of the politicizing of Benghazi.  Under W, 11 US Embassies were attacked.  Number of witch hunts: 0. The Bush White House was told by US intelligence on August 6, 2001 that Osama and his boys wanted to attack US soil.  They did nothing.  3,000 people died, and we went to war with two countries.  All the while, if you disagreed with the President, you were un-American.  The Modern GOP is full of ignorant, self-serving hypocritical fear mongers.  It's all they know and it's all they can do.  I can't stand Obama, but unemployment is down, the deficit shrinking, the stock market at an all time high.  If a Republican had did this, the GOP would be trying to get him written into the Bible.

Look at this:
June 14, 2002, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan
Suicide bomber kills 12 and injures 51.

February 20, 2003, international diplomatic compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Truck bomb kills 17.

February 28, 2003, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan
Gunmen on motorcycles killed two consulate guards.

July 30, 2004, U.S. embassy in Taskkent, Uzbekistan
Suicide bomber kills two.

December 6, 2004, U.S. consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Militants stormed and occupied perimeter wall. Five killed, 10 wounded.

March 2, 2006, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan
Suicide car bomber killed four, including a U.S. diplomate directly targeted by the assailants.

September 12, 2006, U.S. embassy in Damascus, Syria
Gunmen attacked embassy with grenades, automatic weapons, and a car bomb (though second truck bomb failed to detonate). One killed and 13 wounded.

January 12, 2007, U.S. embassy in Athens, Greece
A rocket-propelled grenade was fired at the embassy building. No one was injured.

July 9, 2008, U.S. consulate in Istanbul, Turkey
Armed men attacked consulate with pistols and shotguns. Three policemen killed.

March 18, 2008, U.S. embassy in Sana'a, Yemen
Mortar attack misses embassy, hits nearby girls' school instead.

September 17, 2008, U.S. embassy in Sana'a, Yemen
Militants dressed as policemen attacked the embassy with RPGs, rifles, grenades and car bombs. Six Yemeni soldiers and seven civilians were killed. Sixteen more were injured.

These are all the Embassy attacks under Bush.  Democrats never made an issue out of them.  Why?  Probably because they're adults and not controlled by a bunch of radical right wing nut jobs.  Did we talk about impeaching anyone?  No?  Ok, but 4 Americans lost their lives under the socialist/Muslim/American hater Obama so now we can impeach?  Give me a break!  Did the President lie or was it too soon to have an accurate answer?  It's hard to tell.  Remember, it took forever for the W administration to figure out 9-11, all the while we the public received wrong info simply because it was so early in the process.  But that was ok, while this is not.  The only difference is the man in the oval office.  Weapons of mass destruction anyone?  No, that's ok.  It was W.  Once again, The modern GOP is showing their lack of true leadership and of commitment to the American people.  They care more about trying to kick Obama out than they do trying to help the average American out.  We talked about history a few weeks back, and now more than ever, I believe that history will show Obama as a pioneer and a courageous man.  History will show how an unflexible Congress did everything to undermine him.  It will show how he was publicly disrespected (hello Joe Wilson) yet kept his cool.  It will show how everything he did was criticized and threatened with impeachment.  If they haven't figured it out yet, the GOP by being a bunch of A-holes, are essentially turning Obama into a sympathetic figure in the eyes of history.  But of course they don't see that.  They just see 4 people dead in Benghazi, a place they never even heard of until this tragedy

that we don't have all the information yet and are in the process of getting the information... Please be patient.. Nope.. Instead he went in front of UN and blamed the whole thing on spontaneous attack and linked it to some stupid ass you tube video... Not only was he too quick to pass the buck, he even sent his lap-dog  Susan Rice on 5 different talk shows...Don't you think he was too quick to pass the buck !! If that doesn't smell like a coverup to win the looming election, I don't know what does..

And we all thought in 2008 that this guy was different...

I am not saying that attack on U.S Embassy warrants a President's impeachment.  But the cover-up.?
.

No it will not go away because it is the biggest lie that was used to kill and maime 1,000s of Americans. Right Wing is willing to forgive the biggest crime ever committed on planet earth. Actually worse than Hitler, at least Hitler let every one what he was fighting for. Bush and Co told lies on top of lies. Then there is his little British puppy Tony Blair.

Both should be tried for war crimes.

The intelligence was inaccurate, and yes Bush made a huge mistake by going to war against Iraq that had nothing to do with 9/11 and posed no imminent risk to US..

But that is different than covering up and blatantly lying to the American people for the sake of winning the election..

I am not saying that the President should be impeached, although I wouldn't be sad one bit if he is, but at least American people deserve an apology, and sincere and an heartfelt one...

Dude, go tell it to you two year old and they will laugh at you. Absolutely no reason to debate you because you have Fox news intelligence

Has degenerated into dumb fuck idiot. Only Foxites pay any attention to the shit broadcast on that crap. CNN also has fallen to the shit pile of news channels. Soon, both will be known 24 Hour Political Soap Opera channels.  

Worthless.

says, why are all of sudden other news outlets have shown so much interest in the news...  

I am not fan of Fox News in entirety, but I do watch them, and find bits and pieces that make sense, and you really don't see much coverage from the other liberal outlets. I watch CNN more than Fox News, and find their (CNN's) coverage a lot more balanced. I believe in giving credit where credit is deserved.

The effects of his crime and impeachment has haunted the Republican party ever since. Since then, many politicos in the party have pressed for any excuse to impeach an elected Democrat president, and licked their chops in waiting. It's getting extremely old and wearing very thin.

I honestly see this blowing up in a bigger scandal than Watergate itself.  

Trying to impeach President Clinton for his personal shortcomings was going overboard, but this ain't no President getting no blow job in no oval office (ghetto English is on purpose :) ) Nobody died in Watergate, and certainly no one dies giving or receiving a blowjob. :

However, if you still want to lick your chops over Obama's possible impeachment, go right ahead. I wouldn't want to deprive you of any personal pleasure you might be deriving!  ;)

By the way, what could be being covered up that could be so damaging? I keep asking that question, and no one replies, nor do any of the news politicos elaborate.

just 8 weeks before the election could have made a serious dent in President's chances of winning the election..It would not have helped what he was preaching..."Al-Qaeda is on the run..."  

Its not that hard matt

There still is a question as to if it was Al-Qaeda, or Al-Qaeda wannabes. And, it still hasn't been proven that the administration knew the exact nature of the groups membership, allegiance or connection to Al Qaeda. And, who politicized the issue first. Romney!

never have it. But what did the administration do with the information that they "did" have?  

Agreed that Romney was too quick to pounce on Obama over the issue, and was in his best interest to wait. But that is no excuse for lying to the people...But again, Romney was a horrible candidate to run for office to begin with. Wait and see what happens in 2016...

Al-Qaeda, Ansar Al Sharia (an Al Qaeda affiliate), a wannabe organization..you can try to get real technical or just call it a terrorist attack instead of blaming it on demonstrators....Again, lack of knowledge about the exact nature of the organization is such a poor excuse for not calling it a terrorist attack altogether...

The issue wasn't the blow job its self, the issue was swearing an oath to tell the truth, then committing the crime of perjury, which is a felony.  He certainly could have refused to answer the questions, as this is his constitutional right.

Nixon actually wasn't impeached.  He resigned.
Only two presidents have ever been impeached, one of whom was Bill Clinton.
