But, there's nothing to see here. We should just stop asking for answers and accountability. According to libs anyways.

Today's New York Times editorial:

Republicans have held numerous hearings and briefings on Benghazi and are threatening to hold even more. It is a level of interest they did not show during George W. Bush’s administration when there were 64 attacks on American diplomatic targets or in the years they spent cutting back diplomatic security budgets.
The real scandal is that serious follow-up on security in Libya is going unaddressed. Congress needs to make sure that State Department budgets for personnel and security improvements are sufficient and that security reforms are put in place as soon as possible.

Yeah and if you want a smoking gun look at 9/11. When Clinton briefed incoming president Bush he told him that his administration would be spending a lot of time dealing with the antics of Osama Bin Laden. The FBI and CIA knew that Bin Laden had threatened to use passenger jets as weapons and for months the hijackers were in this country receiving training on, get this, taking off and flying big jets but turning down the instructions concerning landing. You are looking at the gun...you are looking at the smoke.

...or, why fighter jets parked across the river from the Pentagon were not scrambled when planes started crashing into buildings and were still missing around DC.

The GOP and Fake News wants to talk about cover-ups and incompetance?

You continue to rely on the CIA talking points as fact when you don't know if they are accurate or true. Apparently the ORIGINAL CIA talking points went through several revisions by the State Dept. and it was the final version that Rice quoted from. The version that the State Dept/Obama adminisration was satisfied with.

When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the documents were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story.

ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before sheappeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.

White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department. The edits included requests from the State Department that references to the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack.

...when you act like, and talk like, drama queens and spend every waking moment dreaming up ways that you have been victimized by others, your sanity comes into question regardless of whether you are liberal, moderate, or a conservative.

Oh sweet weeping Jesus. We do NOT need one more hearing on this matter! Do you think if you have enough hearings you will finally get the truth that YOU want to hear?

This is totally ridiculous.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense is scared that this see you next tuesday could possibly become POTUS. If anyone could be worse than Obama it's either Hillary or Biden.

BTW: What has white got to do with it? Why mention race here?

This has nothing to do with conspiracy....just facts:

Do you not know how many planes were in the air over at the time of the 9/11 attack? Were fighter jets suppose to just shoot down every plane that they saw, using those passengers as collateral damage, hoping that they would find that one out of 50 that would be heading towards a building?
