#1 Does this means if you shoot someone, you are innocent of murder, your victim simply died from lead poisoning?

#2 After he was beaten, buggered, shot and left to die in a burning building, he died of smoke inhalation. Nice try, Eleanor, but it doesn't mean Benghazi didn't happen.

#4 She's just a paid loudspeaker for Obama.

Don't need to get it right, just repeat the lies that she's told to say, convincingly.

She failled.

#5 Interesting actually, Clift's or the regime's attempt at disestablishing criminal activity. The first attempt at 'disestablishing' events dealt with terrorist activity. Obviously this attempt failed, and everyone now is cognizant of the flimsy video ruse, and the AQ connections, affiliate, or outright direct actions.

Perhaps the next attempt at 'disestablishment' will be that of POTUS' knowledge of actual events; ie. plausible deniability. This will be a very difficult due to the fact that someone would have then had to have acted in his behalf on that fateful night, which is nearly inconceivable.

Setting all emotion aside, in her congressional testimony and infamous outburst "what difference does it make," the Hildebeast actually brought focus to the crux of the entire matter. Without criminal activity and dead Americans, this entire event would have been long forgotten.

Columnist Eleanor Clift has made a arse of herself over Benghazi. I doubt she will be the last. Absent the rule of law, accountability appears nearly impossible. Truth can still be had however, if we are allowed to search for it. At this point, I will settle for truth.

#7 And those in the twin towers were crushed with the collapse of the buildings. Talk about selling one's soul.

#8 For yet another example of the disestablishment of inconvenient truth, see "a woman's right to choose." Homegrown Lebensborn, how far backward we have come.

#9 Pravda and Izvestia. We live in a time where the News isn't true and the Truth isn't news.

#14 Really? The arsonist would be charged with murder.

#15 I was waiting for a claim of suicide... you know, like Vince Foster.

#16 Bizarre Statement...goes with the times of this administration.... just one more in a long line of memorable "one liners".

Depending upon the type of smoke inhalation, it kills at different rates of time, with a variety different organs involved in the process, heart, lung, brain, kidneys and liver. Major Catastrophic failure of at least two simultaneously from smoke inhalation = lights out = with additional trauma relatively quickly.
