Because those three didn't give the right the damning evidence they wanted. Expect more "whistleblowers" to keep coming out of the woodwork until they can find the right one who will give voice to the conclusions they decided on long before the first hearing was held. I'm surprised you didn't figure that out.

No comparison between attacks during Bush and Obama's Benghazi

You are absolutely right, there is no comparison between the many, many embassy attacks during the Bush administration and Benghazi. Here's the main difference. Following the many, many attacks on the embassies during the Bush years, not once did the opposition party hold a single hearing, much less numerous hearings, demanding that the administration account for every word that was spoken in the chaos and aftermath of the situation. Not once, even though there were many, many attacks on embassies during Bush's tenure in the White House. I repeat, not once.

So what contradictory statements might that previous administration have come up with? We will never know, because instead of dragging the country through numerous hearings, the opposition party accepted the well known truth that embassies are dangerous places, mourned our dead, and directed our wrath and all of our energy toward punishing the perpetrators who actually caused said deaths. Something that I notice is of little interest to the right wingers here.

There seems to be so much focus on the vidoe and Susan Rice's statements shortly after the attack, aren't there more important things to discuss, or is that the only remaining issue.

I heard Dick Cheney is recommending that they subpoena Hillary Clinton, the first time wasn't enough.

The issue is not that an attack happened; either you already understand that part or will never bother.

How many other consulates did we have where no government existed and need to rely on local militia for protection. Host country?? No country.

The video = lie, perpetuated by people at the highest levels in government You don't think it's important to get to the bottom of this? Yes, Clinton should definitely be brought back, and someone should tell her what difference it makes. Maybe she'll feel the heat and tell the truth this time around.

Don't you realize, it would only be important if it were republicans. Immediately the left wing spin is working overtime.

This is what a scumbag, lying murderer looks like.

This is also who stupid liberals will vote for in 2016 for president.

Aside from Al Sharpton, they do it all the time - often to the point that Obama supporters roll their eyes at how silly they get. As examples, they criticize him for not closing Guantanamo Bay, for proposing to switch Social Security increases to chained CPI, and in general for attempting to deal with republicans.
