This idiocy has gone on far too long in the media. In counter-intelligence, and survival, one is taught that you don’t “lie”, you just never tell the whole truth. The “right wing investigation”, just like the McCarthy hearings of the 1950’s only causes harm to our nation, our allies, our people working abroad, and our own credibility with the world.
The last thing the neocons care about is the credibility, or credit rating, of the United States, as their “plutocracy” is not dependent upon "patriotism’ or allegiance to this , or any other nation. This is NOT just about Benghazi, but also “banking”, and tax avoidance, and many other issues they want the President discredited to pursue, for their profit.
“…There is no story here…” NOPE. The story is about Obama’s Staff screwing up and then hiding the truth until after the Presidential Election. .You admit this happened and support the behavior. Other people do not accept deceit.
The CIA knows very well that dis-information is an important tactic. There is no way to tell the American people everything, including sensitive information, without also telling the enemy. Heaven forbid that the conservative Republicans accept Patreasus’ statement that Susan Rice said she was told to say. These same people would be screaming “TREASON” had she said anything different.
Embassies are not “sovereign territory”, you nutjob. There is nothing in U.S. or International law making that claim.If someone is killed at a foreign embassy on U.S. soil, do they get to declare war on the U.S. for invading their nation? No, the criminal is arrested and prosecuted by the U.S. authorities.Obama is ignoring the law and promises to bring justice to the people responsible for killing our people in Libya, the same way he brought justice to Bin Laden. Somehow, that’s not macho enough for the chicken hawks. We need to send in an army, so the body count can really count.
Can one imagine what the outcry and accusations of malfeasance would have been if an American ambassador and three members of his team were brutally assassinated . . . . . while a Republican was in the WH?.Recall Valery Plame trumped up BS (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/03/AR2010120306298.html) – and nobody dyed . . . ..Unfortunately for the World, this is but a symptom of actual malfeasance on the part of the 0bama regime and outright conspiracy by the news-media, results of which we will have to endure for decades to come. Namely, ever more strident and aggressive militant Islamist regimes, i.e., Arab Spring, which has thus far converted Egypt from an American ally to an enemy, that we still treat as they were our friends . . . ..The World is a lot more dangeroues today than it was 4-years ago and is getting worse by the minute, but, Bin Laden is dead . . . . .!!!

Nonsense still permeates enough of the right that the middle will shy away.

3000 died on 9/11 and the incompetent nincompoop held up an inquiry for over a year with the help of the Reep congress. What hypocrisy!

Voters Re-elected Shrub and the country got what they deserved. Voters Re-elected “B.O.” and it stinks. And, the country will get what they deserve.
