Anyone who doesn't think what happened in Benghazi needs to be known are fools. Our own government was illegally supplying weapons to terrorists and the admins actions got people killed. Hillary even had emails on her home server with the location of Stevens. She probably even emailed it to the enemy for all we know. We as US citizens should know the truth about what happened and no, the truth is not that some protest about a video caused it.

Now the Pubbies are desperately attempting damage control!!!

ROTFLMAO!
Any body with half a brain knows that this is a grotesque and wholly partisan distortion of what he said sith the goal of protecting Bill Clinton's wife since she has so obviously been revealed as a lying, incompetent, entitled witch.

I think he is trying to get Hillary elected over Trump to keep his power.

Here we go again. McCarthy is pulling a Jeb Bush. "I misstated it--that is not what I meant." These guys who constantly need to explain themselves are clearly not cut out as communicators. Isn't that what they called Reagan--the Great Communicator?

And that is what all of these poseurs lack. They simply cannot communicate. Any candidate, including Trump, who needs to go back and explain what 'he really meant,' on a consistent basis, sucks at communicating.

This guy is another bozo. He should not be Speaker of the House. Get someone people can take seriously.

Kevin McCarthy clarifies Benghazi comments - CNNPolitics.com
A gaffe is when a politician accidentally reveals something truthful. And this was a gaffe, all right.

McCarthy gives Boehner a B-minus - POLITICO

The committee's true purpose has never been in doubt for anyone who has watched objectively. This "investigation" has already lasted longer than the 9/11 hearings and the GOP has scheduled them to drag on right through 2016, even though the previous eight "investigations" yielded nothing.

Finally, a Republican admits the truth of what the Benghazi investigation is really about.

Today's GOP--wasting money, wasting time--they are a waste of space.
Of course it is a smear campaign, and a darn good one at that.

Hopefully, The Republicans will keep it up. I am pretty sure they can since more and more information seems to be coming out of it and they will be the majority until at least 2016.

Has it only been 8 investigations? I thought it had been more. No matter. When we get through it may well be dozens. By that time we will have driven ol' what's-her-names reputation and credibility through the floor!

No whining, now. The Dems deserved it.
Will she go to jail?
No. Even better.
She will go away.

Like saying people wear jackets in winter because its cold in winter,not because it was cold on that particular day.

In short, no one lies, the terrorism was incited by the video, as were the 22 other incidents around the arab world which started before Benghazi did.

Calling it terrorism, doesnt mean it didnt have a start point or reason behind it.
Incited by a video? LMAO You've posted some absurd things before but this one takes the cake.
Hillary was involved in gun running. She hired Marc Turi to run guns to the Libyan and Syrian rebels through Qatar. Some of those on his list weren't "the good guys".
THAT was the cause of the Americans deaths. Everything after that is just a symptom. Treat the cause, quit running guns and endangering the lives of Americans.

They spent most of the hearings on the video, they were not really intersted in why this happened it was more important to discredit the administration rather than to insure this never happened again, that was pretty obvious.

Yes, I did see a few people who did that. It was more where and when did the actual breakdown of getting help to the Americans and who did or didn't request that help. Which is still important imo but doesn't answer why it happened in the first place. Not enough of, how can this be prevented.

No she won't. Your new speaker just saved her with his comments. Which ARE, no matter how he tries to backtrack, ALL the news media is talking about. They are not going away - ever and Hillary and her team can make lots of hay with them.
