    how is not caring about benghazi diverting?

    i think i speak for the vast majority of americans when i say i am more worried about jobs and domestic issues than benghazi. most of us couldn't care less about benghazi.


    I think you can care about all those things. You really don't care at all about Benghazi? I do. I don;t want a witch hunt, but I think we have to know what happened, why, and what failed and why.

    If a nutjob conspiracy theory starts in the woods and there is no one to hear it does FOX news report it? Discuss.

    Oh and by the way, that is why the president has so many people in specific positions, so that while some are working on domestic issues, some can focus on international. But you already know that.

    I just think it's silly to 100% dismiss. Of course, I don;t think there is a huge conspiracy here with Benghazi either, just a breakdown.

    I agree completely and I too want to know where the failure was. I don't believe, however, that Edson wants to know that as much as he wants to play the politics.

    At the end of the day I blame the terrorists.

    there was a breakdown, yes. but this is going to end up turning into another lewinsky witchhunt because the republicans know they have no chance against hillary in 2016.the gop is always planning years ahead and they are very good at it. they can do that because they control the house. that is the whole reason that fox news keeps hammering this story. this was a bigger story on fox than the shooting on friday. the only reason is to damage the administration and try to claim some sort of victory and reclaim some sort of momentum having just gotten killed in the last election and now having a divided party. the only thing to unify them is their hatred for obama and clinton.

    i am glad i am not as cynical as the op.

    It's amazing that people who seem intelligent stoop to these levels out of sheer hatred for the President. It's comical, actually. There are others around here that this is expected from, but kind of surprised at this.

    Really? It's stooping to question why the 1 person that would/should have the most detailed knowledge has a convenient mishap?

    I appreciate that you think I'm above this, as typically I'm not into this sort of stuff (so, maybe that's saying something). But, as Elaine's friend says - there are no BIG coincidences. There are just coincidences.

    I just happened to call this one convenient. Who knows? But, bottom line whether you think this is a coincidence or not - you're not bothered by the findings in the report?

    And for the record, I don't hate Obama. I dislike many of his ideas/policies. I think he's STILL in way over his head. But, he seems like a nice enough guy to me. I don't think he's doing anything intentionally.

    I don't think anyone is happy with the way things happened but to look at this specific situation as a conspiracy seems like cynicism at its finest, to me at least

    This political bantering back in forth is nuts. I'm going to sum up Benghazi in a few short points.

    * The US embassy lacked proper security
    * A group linked to Al Qaeda exploited the lack of security
    * With an upcoming election just a month away, GOP looked to exploit it as a weakness
    * Obama admin realized they could exploit it so the Al Qaeda link with dropped in the report
    * GOP realized this was their "hail mary" 4th down from the 50 last chance so they cried bloody murder
    * Media generally ignored the story ... with the exception of one news organization
    * CIA chief was thrown under the bus two days after the election
    * Obama admin begins to slowly acknowledge Al Qaeda may have been involved
    * Clinton whacks her head days prior to testifying

    The attack occurred, I think, due to bureaucratic oversight. The story is more about using the attack for political gain.

    The one thing that both sides glance over is that somehow, the biggest spook operation in the world had no idea that Petrous had an affair ... with someone that was at his side for several months ... and wrote his book. I say pish-posh ...

    O’Reilly said that “no light” was given to the circumstances surrounding the Benghazi attack because it was only “underlings” who testified, finding it remarkable that Clinton has gone “missing.” Ingraham said that Clinton was spared grilling by House Republicans thanks to her “immaculate concussion” as both she and O’Reilly raised questions over whether Clinton actually even has a concussion.

    Can we at least expect the truth from this administration? Why is it no one that was directly involved with this has testified? Obviously something was going on or we would not see all the diversions. I do not understand how you give this administration a pass when people were killed. How exactly do you choose who's death is more important?
    Obama lied
    Biden lied
    Susan Rice lied
    Hilary lied............
