"Republicans have to be careful not to over-step..."

This seems to be the media mantra of the day?

But, they have already over-stepped.

They have gone too far to step back on Benghazi. These latest emails have clearly shown who was creating talking points and it wasn't Susan Rice or the White House.

The IRS "scandal" will be addressed by the Ways and Means Committee today. I would be surprised if their witness, Steve Miller, validates any Republican talking points? In fact, he may point the finger in the opposite direction?

Instead of "over-stepping", they may soon be trying to "back-track"?

specifically, why they kept mentioning the video as a premise for the demonstrations/attacks when the talking points said nothing of the video.


IOW, the rwingnuts are upset that a press secretary went with something not put together by the CIA and State. Was he lying intentionally? Was he told to lie? Was it just ineptitude?

IMPEACH!!!!

...it is doubtful that John McCain or Lindsey Graham or anyone else knew?

As I recall, there were demonstrations in Egypt and other countries at the same time because of the anti-Muslim film. Why should they have thought the ones in Libya were different?

These folks that were killed were CIA-connected. The CIA was calling the shots, so to speak. Since 9/11, the CIA is a very powerful part of the US Government.
