You think Benghazi is a "fake scandal"? Really. No, pal. Petraeus' e-mails hacked by the FBI to divert attention away from Obama's LIES about Benghazi is a "fake scandal". There's nothing "fake" about 4 dead Americans. Furthermore, the use of the term "teabaggers" is highly offensive and as a middle aged mother of two, I would ask you to try and refrain from using it in the future.
Its a fake scandal in the sense that the right cant even articulate what it is about it that they're soooooo upset about.
But I'm sure your anger is purely patriotic and not partisan which is why you can easily send me links to threads where you rant and rave about Bush ignoring warnings about Bin Laden planning to attack the US, right?

But, but, there are four dead Americans.... it's about the dead ppl, really, we need to take down Obama becuz they're dead.
Even if the teabaggers cannot say how the administration's initial reports of the attack would have retroactively prevented their deaths.
Forget that it was the teabaggers that cut State Dept security funding.
Forget that there were 20 or so youths outside the consulate chatting about the video in the hours before the attacks.
Forget that an American attorney was roughed up by militants, them speaking of revenge for the video, outside the consulate just before the shooting began.
Were you this upset about the dozens of victims of US embassy attacks under Bush?
Don't think so.
In any event, nothing is going to come of this just like nothing came of the stooopid claims that Obama's birth certificate was fake or the multitude of other dumb and silly stuff you wingnuts come up with.
Obama is the President and he'll be President until a bit more than 4 years from now.

Actually, I was pretty upset about the embassy bombings in Nairobi under Clinton:
Of course, that was before we had DHS and all of our agencies were supposed to be coordinating with each other. My sister-in-law is FBI, she went to Nairobi after the attack.
Requests for aid from Benghazi were DENIED.
SOMEONE told the CIA safehouse to "stand down"
4 Americans were tortured and died.
And Obama flew off to Vegas while changing the CIA talking points that it was an Al Quida attack on 9/11 to claim it was the result of a "spontaneous mob reacting to the You Tube video" which had been on You Tube since July and only had 37,000 views when I first clicked on it after the "story" was told by Susan Rice.
Incompetence, dereliction of duty, coercion of Cabinet members to lie and more lies. Grounds for impeachment. How Petraeus got his jollies is irrelevant.

So, you admit you are AREN'T upset over the attacks under Bush?
You certainly just brushed them off and moved on back to the last DEMOCRATIC President.
Why is that?
Hmmmm....
Just plain old partisanship - that's it.
And NO there's NO grounds for impeachment.
none, nada, zip.
But dream on - it'll be a change of pace from all those years of stooooopid "Birther" claims.
That's nice. I'm glad other people's misery makes you happy. Frankly, I think that's kind of sick, but if that's the kind of hypocritical, twisted country you want your children and grandchildren to inherit, laugh away, fools. You will see two completely segregated U.S. societies. Many of us are rejecting your government indoctrination centers you call public schools. Our future depends on the youth. It is my purpose in life to encourage parents to remove as many children as possible from the public school system and see that they receive a proper private or homeschool education.
Yes. By all means home school your kids. Keep these ideas close to home. Stay insular. Please.

And how many of those "killed" in the Bush embassy attacks were Americans? Ambassadors? Because frankly, I don't give a damn about dead terrorists.
GOP lost in election badly so did your great prediction, now what, you guys just like to score some cheap political win. Do you think to alienate more Independents like me is beneficial to your party?

We were lucky and few Americans were killed (bombs don't discriminate so it was just luck more Americans weren't killed in these attacks)
US Marine and five Pakistani staff members (ie employed by the US government) injured in Karachi embassy bombing in 2002
David Foy - American diplomat killed in 2006 Karachi embassy bombing (aren't you fuming we didn't "learn how to prevent it" from the 2002 bombing of the place?
In the 2004 attack in Saudi Arabia five consulate employees (not Americans but working for the U.S. government).
In addition MANY innocent civilians just walking down the street were killed in these attacks.
The fact is, US embassies anywhere in the Muslim world - and elsewhere even - are dangerous places.
On March 2, 2006, a suicide car bomb killed four people and injured thirty outside the Marriott Hotel in Karachi, which is about 20 yards from the consulate. Among the dead was David Foy, an American diplomat and three Pakistanis.

David Foy was killed by a suicide car bomb, not a pre-planned, organized Al Quida attack on a consulate on 9/11.
