Now, further demonstrating the pro-Obama liberal media is nothing more than a propaganda wing. You would rather conservatives “didn’t want to interfere with a Obama's positive narrative about Al Qaeda”.

Osama Bin Laden is dead and Al-Quaeda is decimated and on the run.
Inform the authorities.

Demand that your congressman initiate impeachment.

Of course the incident happened. But the continued controversy is manufactured for one purpose. Political.

I would expect the same level of investigation of Benghazi as was given to the other embassy attacks.

Me too. In fact, the GOP is trying to make an issue where there is none. This reminds me of how the GOP wasted millions (over 60 million) of tax payer dollars and time trying to prosecute Bill Clinton.

The Benghazi fuss is just another example of how the GOP has to make dirt of the Democratic party because the GOP doesn't have a platform of their own.

Please try contributing something new or informative that can be discussed. You keep repeating the same thing over and over. We get it, we got it............move on.

A better approach would be to file a compliant with the FCC. Broadcasters only hold their public licenses if they adhere to a code of conduct, which includes providing information that is in the best interests of the public. Obviously the propaganda and lies that CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC are spewing cannot be construed as being "in the best interests of the public" since it is the public they are attempting to deliberately deceive.

It would not be too difficult to get Congress to enact legislation to either revoke the public broadcasting license of propagandist broadcasters, or at the very least require a public disclaimer that notifies the public when they intend to broadcast a completely fictional event.

No Secretary of State or President should be allowed to deliberately lie to the people and get away with it, Republican or Democrat. Particularly when it cost the lives of a US Ambassador and three other American citizens. The Propaganda Machine of the Democratic Party (a.k.a. "mainstream media") is just as culpable at covering-up what actually happened and needs to be held accountable.

The Benghazi Talking Points | The Weekly Standard
Interesting that the initial draft from the CIA did refer to the attack in Benghazi as "spontaneously inspired."

I also find it interesting that the writer chose not to write about the concurrent attacks that were occurring in Pakistan that were related to the video. Those attacks provide the context for the "diplomatic public service announcement in Pakistan" and the references to the video in Obama's U.N. speech.

Still, top Obama officials would point to the video to explain Benghazi. President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton even denounced the video in a sort of diplomatic public service announcement in Pakistan. In a speech at the United Nations on September 25, the president mentioned the video several times in connection with Benghazi.

There you go, be a good little follower and question nothing. Just pick a political party and follow them to the end.

Like I keep saying, you guys want Benghazi to do what the election couldn't.

Stop being lame Republicans and run a decent candidate next time instead of a dope like Romney. Benghazi isnt gonna open the door to the Oval Office no matter how hard you try.

Well the story of the attack in that it was an flash mob attack due to a YouTube video is conspiracy theory cooked up by the Administration.
