Political Quotes

Buddha once said there are three things that cannot be hidden long: the Sun, the Moon, and the truth. It has been 18 months since the attack in Benghazi, and this piece of proverbial wisdom has again proved prescient. Evidence is mounting that the Obama administration manipulated the truth of what happened on September 11, 2012, when our Ambassador and three other Americans were killed in what early reports indicated was a planned attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi. Sadly, repeated attempts by this House to ascertain the truth of what happened have been dismissed by the administration as ``politicizing'' the tragedy. The deep irony is that it was the White House's political maneuvering which led to the truth being buried in the first place. The emails released last week shed more light on the White House's response to the attacks. More will be learned as the investigation continues. Coverups, like clouds, are temporary. They can't hold back the light forever. Americans want answers, and they will get them. ____________________
