In Response To: McCain Suggests Harry Reid ‘Doesn’t Care’ About The Death Of US Ambassador (Revel)

Fox News host and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) compared the administration’s handling of the consulate attack in Libya to Watergate, during an appearance on the network Friday morning, and hinted that the president should be impeached for not immediately attributing the violence to terrorism.
“We have been flat-out lied to,” Huckabee told Fox’s Bill Hemmer. “They know they lied. As if airplanes crashing into the World Trade Center said those were just accidents. Anybody with two eyes and an IQ above plant life knows what happened in Libya was not a spontaneous reaction to a 13 minute video on YouTube”:
HUCKABEE: It was a planned orchestrated attack led by terrorists, terrorists, Bill. And this White House has to explain why it hasn’t owned up to that. Why it can’t say it. I think frankly, if this issue really gets traction that it deserves, and let it say it deserves, go back. Richard Nixon was forced out of office because he lied. And because he covered some stuff up. I will be blunt and tell you this. Nobody died in Watergate. We have people who are dead because of this. There are questions to be answered and Americans ought to demand to get answers. [...]
HEMMER: Just one more thing here. What you’re describing, comparing events of today to Watergate.
HUCKABEE: I sure am….Bill, i’m not saying this just out of some political interest. I’m saying that our trust as a nation is built on our ability to know that when our president, whoever he is, Democrat or Republican, looks us in the eye and tells us something, we ought to know he is telling us the truth.
Watch it:

Fox News, Republican lawmakers, and conservative pundits have for weeks hinted at an administration cover-up, naming it Benghazi-gate, and alleging that Ambassador Susan Rice misled Americans, when she initially claimed that the attacks were a “spontaneous reaction” to a movie trailer disparaging the Prophet Muhammed.
And while some administration officials expressed concern that “the White House began pushing the line that the attack was spontaneous and not the work of terrorists,” officials began labeling the incident the work of terrorism after investigating the incident. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, and even White House Spokesperson Jay Carney have all used the word “terrorist” to describe the attack. Obama himself attributed the violence to terrorism during a September 12 address at the Rose Garden. “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for,” he said. “Today, we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.”
Since then, intelligence agencies have determined that the attack “involved a small number of militants with ties to al-Qaeda in North Africa but see no indication that the terrorist group directed the assault.” They have concluded that the attack “was not timed to coincide with the Sept. 11, 2001, anniversary” and was instead “set in motion after protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo as part of a protest of an amateur anti-Islamic YouTube video.”

Huckabee appears to be a nice man, but the more he yacks the d u m b e r he appears. There has never ever been an cabal president impeached... Nixon resigned and they tried to impeached Clinton, but he never went anywhere... They are the CEO's of the corporation.... and not really OUR united states of America President. He needs to be ARRESTED.... Period.... hand cuffs and leg Irons....

It would seem to me, That anyone with 2 eyes can see what is going on here. This is not a democratic or republican thing, and for any of you to put this man down for telling the truth and trying to get it past extreme left media, should be ashamed of yourselves. This is more than a bump in the road, or not optimal. If our president wont even protect his ambassidors, WHAT THE HELL MAKES YOU THINK HE IS GONNA PROTECT US? Clinton got impeachment charges for lieing about a B.J. Obama is lieing about terrorism, and the murder of an American Ambassidor. Go ahead and vote for Obama, Your just gonna get Biden, or worse Hillary
