Benghazi as an issue fizzles
 
Charles Krauthammer:

It’s late, too late. This should have been a year ago, three, four more months ago. Politically speaking, the administration has won. They ran out the clock. If we had a select committee from the beginning, really had coherent hearings — unlike we’ve had, which were disjointed hearings that let all things sort of slip away — we really would have been somewhere. We would have gotten to the bottom of this. But as a political fact, this thing is done.

"Today the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, pronounced himself “satisfied” with the U.S. military response to Benghazi."

These clowns seem pretty slow on the uptake.:p

Something for Dems everywhere to be very proud of, I'm sure.

I'm so sick of seeing WP as the post topic from finn. Don't you ever look else wear for propaganda.

The treatment of Benghazi by the GOP and their cheerleaders has made me quite proud not to be a Republican.

Precisely.

There was never anything here, even that radical conservative loon Charlie Kraut gets it.

Oh I'm sure that's true. But I'm sure you can also take great pride in how the Adminstration handled the Benghazi situation from start to finish.

So it's entire importance is as an issue to somehow embarrass the Administration and State?

How many Marines were killed in Lebanon under Reagan?

I do not remember the Democrats trying to hang that around his neck.

I do remember that the response was a bug-out.

Your memory is flawed, I think.

But why bring up Reagan and Lebanon? I thought the handling of Benghazi was a success story in this post.
