With all the scandals that the White House has going on right now, it seems the Benghazi issue is being minimalized. Even Fox News people are pretty much saying that it’s not that important and are more worried about the IRS SNAFU.
While a Tax Audit is a problem, 4 Americans did not get killed in one botched Audit.
And the excuses do not hold water.
A. “What does it matter?”
B. “It happened a long time ago.”
Both responses show a lack of care and concern and are pretty much admitting guilt. The response about budget is bogus and we all know it. Every US Marine knows it. The CIA knows it. Having US Marines sweep in and protect and extract an Ambassador is something the Marines just do. You don’t even have to call them… they’ll just go. What you do have to do though is to call them and tell them to stand down. The choice was made that these men were to die. What I want to hear is why they chose to let the Ambassador, and those with him, die in Benghazi.
I want FOX and the rest of the Media to HAMMER the Administration on this.
But what does it matter? It was a long time ago.
They caught Al Capone on tax evasion. Not murder, racketeering or violent criminal activity. Whatever gets this media to stop sucking on the teat of this administration.
You make a good point.
I believe that news agencies are having a hard time picking which scandal to cover as there are what…3 cover-ups currently?? How many administrations have had this many scandals surface in the same time period? Obama and his boys are trying their hardest to put out fires and fill in the holes that they dug themselves in. IMO they all need to be held accountable for each and every screw up, no matter when it happened. Just man up and admit the screw ups and take their medicine…the truth comes out eventually and the longer they lie and stall the worse it makes them look.
Obama’s capacity for destruction & corruption is impressive.
I agree with you 100%…here comes the BUT!
You can tell just from the initial reaction, the average person is easily swayed on Benghazi. They don’t know enough about operations to know and understand why all these excuses are pure bull. They just don’t know, and they therefor eat it up. And most of the media covers which just furthers that.
However, EVERYONE understands the IRS screwing with folks. It’s easy for someone to understand how this happened, why it’s important, and just how bad the implications are. So it actually makes a decent lead.
That, and the media starting to turn on Obama for screwing with the AP, and it’s going to get a lot more interesting as time goes on.

Benghazi is not going away. Issa has subpoenaed Pickering who was supposed to do a full investigation but wouldn’t testify to the house committee that was checking things out.
Meanwhile the union that the State Department civilian security guards belong to, sent in a letter to Congress asking for a special panel to investigate Benghazi. For some reason they are upset. (Snark/off)
Since the video was sourced out of MSNBC I missed it. But the very fact that Bob Woodward is unloading on the Administration on that network is an indicator of trouble for the administration.

Issa isn’t done. He’s a dog with a bone.
We know the Admin. lied. Nixon was sunk for Watergate not by the break-in, (which was a John Dean operation; read Silent Coup, by Getlin and Colodny) but by the cover-up. If a third-rate burglary deserved a Select Committee, certainly the murder of an Ambassador and staff do as well. They have NO CLUE why it matters, like Bill had no clue why recovering K.I.A.’s was important on Somalia. Something to do with lack of HONOR, in my opinion…..
