   Yelling in a echo chamber does not make a scandal. I’ve yet to see a shred of proof that the President or the Secretary of state are either culpable of events in Libya or have attempted to cover anything up. There is however plenty of evidence of malfeasance by Republican members of Congress and the media, particularly fox news in regards to this.

   In Pickering’s report it isn’t the criticism that is so damning, but the recommendations. The progression of the revisions in the talking points memo does seem to indicate a strong desire to avoid expressing any responsibility for security shortcomings.

   Net even the New Yorker agrees with you. Good luck spinning this as a Republican obsession. Obama’s most serious failure may be the one that’s least advertised: His utter inability to keep State and CIA from trying to blame each other for the loss of life. A competent leader would not have had this problem.

   Nice. Did you know the President of Libya was to Ticked off at our politicizing it and denying it was a terrorist attack like he said from day one that he would not let us into the "crime scene for over two weeks. My guess that is one reason why Clinton was the 1st to call it a terrorist attack 10 day later.
   Anyone else going to buy popcorn and watch when Clinton turns on Obama? Obama accounts have still not been made public yet Clinton is getting most of the heat. If she thinks he in anyway starts blaming her I am sure the claws will come out. Chicago politics vs The Clinton Machine.. FIGHT!

   That’s no proof of any wrongdoing by anyone in the administration. I read the article in question and it seems to be filled with the opinion of the author and not much else. Once again all sizzle and no steak. This is a Republican obsession, but if the Republican Party wants this nonstory to be the hill they die on much as Mitt Romney did before the last election I say they should keep right on going. But how do you think that the American public is going to react to Congress spending all of its time endlessly rehashing this issue when there are real problems in the country that need to be addressed. I must say that if you get what you seem to want here it will be very good election night in 2014 for the Democratic Party.

   My bid on the popcorn concession is already in. Soft drinks, candy, and hot dogs are still available, from what I’ve heard.

   Yes, “There’s no proof…” is typically the best reply the Democrats can come up with. Or, as my namesake once said, “No controlling authority”.

   The President’s comments in the Rose Garden the morning after the attack. You and Mitt Romney both forgot about that. That more or less destroyed any chance that Mitt had in the election, as if he ever really stood a chance. Thank you for allowing me to bring up one of the greatest debate screw ups of all time. I would suggest that you do more than repeat RWNJ talking points.

    Yes, your hatred of the Democratic Party is all the proof you need. I forgot that it’s unfair of me to argue facts and logic against your opinion.

    Stopping Hillary in 2016 is what this witch hunt is all about.

    The GOP’s inability to compromise in the House will give the President a Democratic Congress in 2014 and most likely, forever.

    Just because it’s Republicans who are focused on the Benghazi cover-up doesn’t make it less worthy of public scrutiny. And just because Democrats have nothing to gain by perpetuating Benghazi doesn’t mean they’re not welcome to try. They might, for instance, re-kindle public awareness that Obama continued to blame the amateur video two weeks after the attack in his speech to the UN. Or they might unearth the question of whether the Petreaus sex scandal was just another part of the attempt to distract public attention. Maybe it’s time for the media to focus less on the politics of the situation and more on unearthing the facts. How about interviewing the C-130 crew who deployed from Croatia to Sigonella when the attack was reported? This was a four-hour trip, but it was officially logged as 23 hours. On whose orders? Are any “journalists” paying attention?

    Facts? Logic?
    Please quote yourself where you posted either.
    .
    You have the “I said it so it must be true” debate style. That doesn’t really work. You’ve only posted opinion.
