In no way are the deaths the scandal. The promoters of the "inquiry" in the Congress have trampled over those dead bodies ... for their own personal gain, or so they think that's what at the end of the rainbow for them. You know full well what happened that day, and why. So does every other person who is interested in learning the facts. And while we're at it let's look at the members of Congress who denied State's request to provide better security for the diplomatic missions. Let's honor the lives lost and stop further disgracing them.

Ignoring that everybody "has to die," if it were not a dangerous job they were doing, at least half of them (i.e. Glen Doherty and Ty Woods, the two ex-Seals) wouldn't have even been there.

It would be fabulous if nobody who ever did dangerous work for their country ever were killed in the line of duty. It would be a wonderful, wonderful thing.

But we live the real world. And it is not a scandal that we do. It is a tragedy.

We honor them by discovering the truth -- which is slow in coming forth (20 months, for example...it takes the WH that long to find a particular e-mail, and then they classify it so they have an excuse not to release it?)

Yes, we honor them by going for Truth, not by echoing those (in)famous words: "What difference does it make at this point!"

The fact that people doing dangerous work die does not make this tragedy one to be dismissed with "oh, well...it happens..."

...especially when it should not have. We need to know why it did so that, hopefully, it will not happen again at least not through neglect or incompetence.

Now that we've finally gotten past an owner of a basketball team and his nonsense, whats the over under the same media that couldnt get enough of this NBA story doesnt say a damn thing about one that matters?

Benghazi Emails Show White House Effort to Protect Obama | Washington Free Beacon

These orders came from the Obama Admin. Its time to start impeachment trials.



And then what... Impeachment has less meaning with a dictator in charge today.
Creates and changes existing law at will, like he is king.
And the DOJ Holder is just as guilty.

Hanging is too good for both of those criminals.

Not really unless it is a mickey mouse move. I'm never in a hurry.

Strange how Obama haters swallow whole any opinion that reinforces their hatred, yet totally reject all evidence that counters their prejudice.
