MUD is the clarity they're striving for. I can just see this dweeb addressing constituents somewhere - they wanting answers regarding jobs and infrastructure while he tries to generate outrage over this minor and distant incident.

Worked out great for Ken Starr back in the mid to late 90's.

Perpetual scrutiny eventually reveals some human foible along the way, if you persist at it for a number of YEARS.

All the countries business has become politics. Winning using any means is sometimes treason.

It's not 3000 from terrorists attacks th egovernment had warning of.

It's the over a million from guns.

It's not the thousands every year from lack of health care.

It's four.

A combination of US Marines, Secret Service, and CIA. Who "privatized" security? Why? Privatized security can't be cheaper than using the Government agencies already in existence. The only argument that comes to mind is someone thought America needed a level of "Plausible Deniablity".
Anybody?

IOW: "He had just killed Bin Laden and there was no need for security because the War on Terror was over."

That's the Republican narrative.

They are OBSESSED with the image of Obama wanting the world to be full of rainbows, butterflies and bunnies.
