SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN ATTACKS LACK OF BENGHAZI INFORMATION WHILE MISSING A BRIEFING ON IT............
Arizona U.S. Senator John McCain, the 2008 Republican Presidential nominee who lost the White House to then U.S. Senator Barack Obama, by nine percent of the vote, 54% -45%; has been highly critical since mid September at the September 11, attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya; and the Obama Administration's handling of the matter and unwillingness to truthfully share information on the tragedy with the American People. In recent days he and his Senate colleague and protege' U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina; have criticized President Obama for withholding information or covering up the truth, and are demanding a Select Investigatory Committee, in the manner of the Watergate and Iran Contra Committees, superseding the House amd Senate Intelligence Committees, whose responsibility it is to maintain oversight and investigate the matter. Whether McCain and Graham's current stances are objectively based on determining the truth of the matter and sharing that information with our citizenry, or is subjectively motivated, by an embittered McCain, resenting his Presidential loss four years ago; and positioning Graham with a platform at a future run for the Presidency himself; is at this point hard to determine. For all the insistence and accusation they are mounting against President Obama and the United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, over the Libyan occurrence two months ago, which now includes stating they will oppose her if she is nominated to be Secretary of State; yesterday shot a hole in their claim that full information to date is not being shared. Both Senators, attended a press conference they called to further protest the information on the Libyan Consulate attack and the death of our Ambassador and three other diplomats, and did not attend the 3 hour information briefing on the matter the Administration had all pertinent officials providing members of Congress at the same time. If McCain, Graham and others in theor camp are legitimately knowing more detail and analysis about the Linyan tragedy, why were they not present at the meeting which was providing it ? Grandstanding and politicizing the reality of this very sad attack, instead of forthright and full participation in getting the facts, serves no one but their own personal agendas. And to rebut being asked why they held their Wednesday news conference, at the same time as the Congressional Meeting about Benghazi was underway, by saying it was a staffer's scheduling conflict, is a superficial excuse. More honest would be to admit it was to scheduled either as an out to maintain their claim, or to be mounting their latest offensive at the same hour President Obama was holding his post-re-election news conference. The military heroism and sacrifice John McCain attained as a Navy man and Prisoner of War is undeniable. But that does not mean it or anything else, justifies playing politics and racheting up bellicosity over a matter he and all Americans have a right to know; and that he five term U.S. Senator, is in a position to get information about through the proper reporting channels of the United States Government. That should be his foremost consideration, not his agitated personal and political opposition to President Obama to whom he lost the opportunity to be the Commander in Chief, and who has now been re-elected to a second term............Fr.

He criticizes the potential nomination and the competence of Susan Rice, but as it has been pointed out to us from late-show talk hosts, wasnt he the one who chose Sarah Palin to be a potential second-most powerful person in the world. Oh my. Plus I will always remember the scene after George W. escalated the troops in Iraq, McCain wanted to show the world has safe Iraq was becoming, so he went on a stroll in the town marketplace. Escorted by military bodyguards behind him, in front of him, to the left and to the right (and probably above him too) while he himself was wearing a bullet proof vest. I guess that's what he wants all our ambassadors to be equipped with around the world.
WELL STATED. HIS PALIN PICK, AND NOT APPLYING THE SAME RESPONSE TO CONDI RICE'S INTELLIGENCE / ADMINISTRATION LINE ON "THE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION", WHICH NEARLY A DECADE LATER STILL HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND; MAKES THIS MORE THAN SOMEWHAT DUPLICITOUS. JOIN THIS TO HIS RNC '12 SPEECH, IS THEIR A WAR HE WILL NOT FIGHT, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, SIMULTANEOUSLY ? AT 76, BY THE CONCLUSION OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, MCCAIN MAY BE NOTHING BUT A SELF DESTRUCTED, "NATTERING NABOB OF NEGATIVISM"; IN THOSE INFAMOUS VICE PRESIDENTIAL WORDS FROM THE EARLY 1970'S, BECAUSE OF STATEMENTS LIKE THIS............tdp
