50. The whole thing about Benghazi IMHO

Wed Aug 7, 2013, 11:53 PM

Aug 2013

was about the Republicans finally finding SOMETHING that they could attack President Obama's foreign policy credentials on in advance of the 2012 election, as well as tar Hillary with in advance of her (potential) run in 2016. It also ultimately helped them tear down Susan Rice's chances to become SOS to succeed Hillary. I'm pretty sure at least some of them also hoped that they would uncover some kind of major criminal negligence and/or wrongdoing on Obama and/or Hillary's part that would bring them down but, of course, they have never been able to find anything.

Given what happened on 9/11/01 (which Bush/Cheney had at least some advance warning of prior) and the number of fatal US embassy attacks during the Bush (mis-)Administration, the hypocrisy of the right-wing/Republican attacks on President Obama over 4 deaths in Benghazi, as well as the intense scrutiny has been extraordinarily breathtaking IMHO.
