Oh, I lean left on most issues, but I assure you I'm on no team. I think both parties are corrupt to the core. If we want to be honest about an investigation into Benghazi, we should be investigating why we've been running guns there since 2006. Guns that have gone to Al-quaeda in the Syrian war. The consulate there was only created to provide cover for the CIA operation. That won't be investigated though. Why? Because it would also implicate a lot of Republicans in wrongdoing. I dislike Obama nearly as much as most of you, but for very different reasons. He's continued, and even escalated, a lot of the neo-con policies of the Bush administration, and the Benghazi situation is just one example of that.

So, we drone AQ in one part of the World, and give them guns in another?

I suppose it could make sense; but highly problematic.

BTW, do you leave an AMBASSADOR as low hanging fruit, in such a highly problematic scenario? I've heard that the AQ plan was to kidnap the guy and demand a trade for the Blind Sheik; what the hell was Obama/Clinton thinking up there? I could do a better job of cya!

At the very least, Bush would have never allowed such an atrocious policy; even if he were in bed with AQ. This event is a example of EXTREME INCOMPETENCE...and a lame and nationally injurious attempt to cover up that fact for electoral gain.

The damage to national unity, governmental credibility here and abroad, and a basic faith that Obama - and Hillary re '16 - are fit to be at the helm, is the real issue.

IMO...they ain't. And if all the evidence ever comes out...that assessment will be validated. Like the collapsing economy, health care system and open border debacle ain't enough already!
