Isn't it amazing how outraged the right is about "failed intelligence?"

It was an excuse for Bush back in 2001. Now it's an outrage. 4 people died in Benghazi. Tens of thousands have died as a result of WTC, and the country nearly bankrupted. But we're supposed to be outraged that Obama didn't personally storm the plaza at Banghazi and fight off the attackers.

To all you lurking righties...you disgust me.

How about Osama bin Laden, America's buddy in Afghanistan and our hireling in Iraq, Sadam Hussein and our dear decease friend, recipient of the Vatican's Order of the Golden Spur, the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Yep. I better laugh, because once I start screaming I'm not sure I can stop.

They got intelligence from a guy named Curveball, and chose to run with it even when the CIA called it bogus.

They consistently accuse others with what they themselves are guilty of. They are one-trick ponies.
