It is miniscule with all that is happening in the world.
Why would Obama even dignify its existence?
If Benghazi is unimportant and they had to lie, falsify documents and cover it all up, imagine what this administration is covering up that they consider important?
So a group of four spooks are stuck in Indian Territory surrounded by bad guys and the thought they were safe? They didn't need backup, they needed to run. Better yet they should have refused the job. They should have had a bug out plan and used it. Not to mention booby trapping their building so the hundred or so bad guys were blown up for their troubles.
When are we going to realize we, and our culture, have no safe place in the Middle East?
I'm simply amazed at the number of citizens in a country like America, a representative republic, who are willing to go out of their way to refuse to hold their government accountable for its actions. All for what? To defend some faceless entity, a political party that is only concerned with holding onto its power at all costs, even the blood of the people who served our country?
What happened with Benghazi was inexcusable and unconscionable. To those trying to minimize the incident, do you even realize what you're defending? Just extraordinary.
I think the blind partisans who defend the government have lost all sense of reality. We could show them videos of their favorite politicians robbing a bank, and their defensive response would be that those bankers knew the risks involved in running a bank, and besides... Bonnie and Clyde did far worse.
Unimportant? Excuse me? We had the first Ambassador killed in 30 years, in a terror attack. We had denial/ignored multiple requests for security. We had changing of talking points to try and limit damage to Obama Admin before an election.

After nine investigations, there is no evidence of any kind of coverup. You see, Issa proceeds from the position that a scandal exists and his objective is to prove it. This is the guy who in December 2010 told the Politico, "I want seven hearings a week, times 40 weeks."
The Chicago Tribune said, "The scale and scope of Issa's post-election remarks sound like he's in danger of overreaching."
Very much like Fast and Furious. They want to claim it's nothing but they sure are doing a lot of lying and covering up.
There hasn't been any lying, other than the regressive radical rightwing media trying to turn a minor incident into something much more.
