As you claim this whole Benghazi story about FOX's assertion that the president was somehow responsible and complicit in the murders of the ambassador and his body guards then present your facts dont expect me to go scouring all over the net to find your story,i'm satisfiedv with what i saw on tv and the way it was presented and the Presidents actions in dealing with the matter.
As far as MSM is concerned a mob stormed the embassy and within that mob were terrorists who used the chaos to their advantage to carry out the murders. tragic and unfortunate but basically end of story..

Did Bush ever own up to the WMD lie that got us into an unnecessary war that got how many of our young soldiers killed?, and who ended that war?

Do you mean the same WMDs that the democratic party leaders, and Clinton assured us were there for the previous eight years? The same WMDs that Clinton used to justify numerous air bombing campaigns against Saddam? Those WMDs????

Bush's mistake was trusting the Clinton administration's intelligence reports, and Clinton's CIA chief.

The east coast is in terrible shape, and most citizens are more concerned about our own country than some GOP attempt to act like there was some massive coverup. You'll all stop caring on November 7th.
This post is absolutely disgusting. If you need someone to explain to you why, then perhaps you should exit the political analysis arena and focus on something more in your league.

Truly Pathethic.

What is pathetic is the politicization of these deaths. It is shameful.

The cowards are afraid to do any of that, so instead the white House claims they were just ignorant, completely clueless, disengaged, unconcerned, disinterested, incompetent, etc.... and they are still claiming to be all of those things today.

Yep the president should never have politicized it by sending his troops out to say it was about a film for 2 weeks.

What is disgusting is seven weeks after the attack, and we still don't know what the hell happened, why we just let all those people die, why no rapid response forces were called in, or why we reduced security and put them all at risk in the first place.

Wanting an answers the first few days and weeks afterwards, was not politicizing them. Demanding we get answers seven weeks after is also not politicizing them.

The GOP seems to always do this when a Democrat is in office. Recall Whitewater and Ken Starr?

Now, we all know Bush should have been impeached repeatedly for manifold abuses of power, like no bid contracts, fudged intelligence, outing a CIA officer,the ample evidence that they IGNORED intelligence about 9/11, costing thousands of American lives. But backstabbing is not the Democrat style. We realized it would just have been seen as a witch hunt and polarized the country. Obama chose to move on, but now we have to listen to this phony self-righteousness over Benghazi. Do you think the president wanted those people to die?! It makes me want to puke.


They are trolling for a gotcha moment. It infuriates them that Obama has been a highly competent, ethical, and scandal free president.


Meanwhile their candidate lies just about every time he does a campaign stop, and refuses to provide even the scarcest details of why his policies would not be complete fabrications.

Give it up.

This is a trumped up scandal. A screw up, yes, and very sad, like the USS Cole, etc., but let's be honest, THE ONLY REASON YOU CARE IS BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU CAN GAIN POLITICAL ADVANTAGE THROUGH IT.

That is disgusting.
