We shall see, won't we?

They'll likely be disappointed if this is their best shot.
According to Hillary mistakes were made but I guess you are ignoring that fact. Which means you wouldn't understand the question: what were they and who made them?

I followed this pretty closely. I missed the moment when it was revealed as a fact that the president "sent Rice out to lie"...
He may not have "sent" her out to lie, but he had to approve her going public and tell a lie. Well, that's if she lied. Or would this be another case of him not knowing what was going on?

The most enlightened people in this society realize that whatever happened with Benghazi would've been much WORSE with a Republican president at the helm. Given the same scenario, Republicans would've reacted in a manner consistent with their history: total failure, followed by deceptive marketing and lies to spin it.

Benghazi is not President Obama's Watergate, it represents yet another display of egg in the faces of the hapless segment of this nation we refer to as the GOP in their desperate attempt to be relevant as this nation leaves them behind.


This attack was not like others where it happened and then quickly was over.
It went on for hours and hours.

What did we do?

Nothing, nothing at all.

Yet you defend that.

I don't see what is so hard to understand. She was stating the Intelligence community best assessment at the time. You can argue that the Intelligence community knew more, but they also need to have proof of allegations, unlike McCain, Crudz, Issa, Garham, Ihoffe, Ayotte, etal. I am sure the Congressional Intelligence oversight people, got the info in total, some of which they could not broadcast.

It was not the intelligence community's best assesment though.
It does not need to be argued, it is known.
The people in Benghazi and the Libyan President told the Administration so.

Nothing like first hand being there info.

Doesn't fit the Administration's line though.

The Administration has played politics with this right from the very beginning.

Then why do we need appropriation committees and an Office of Management and Budget committee that puts together the proposal of how the President's budget is to be allocated, submit the proposed budget allocation to Congress to review and upon the completion of the review pass it to the President to sign off on? To say that Congress decides where the money for the budget goes, is that to say that the President has no say in the matter?

Do you understand why they would want to keep a lid on what they know. Like any investigation of criminal actions, you certainly don't want to broadcast what know to the people you are searching for. It just seems to me, common sense is absent in this nonsensical Witch hunt and some pretty intelligent people are buying into it. The purpose for them, well, quite obvious.
