help! fox news going crazy about benghazi attack ~ 'requested help three times!'

[mattclearing]

7. I saw someone post a video on Facebook of Glenn Beck and a "former CIA analyst" on his show.

They were basically speculating and throwing out a bunch of stuff about how Obama was in bed with "the bad guys." They made it sound like the Administration is working with militants to infiltrate/regime change Syria and that Benghazi was related blowback.

Mind you, if that's what the administration is doing, I'm not sure I see the problem. The last regime change before Libya involved over 100,000 dead Iraqis and 4000 dead Americans. Libya and Syria are vast improvements over previous efforts to bring democracy to the Muslim world.

They went on to speculate that Administration officials would have watched on live feed while the people onsite at Benghazi died and did nothing to intervene. Then Beck cut in before the commercial break to say that the President went to bed while it was still going on. No idea whether that's true.

We also know, thanks to bumbling Republicans in the House, that there was a CIA safehouse nearby, so chances are either that it was too late by then, or the safehouse couldn't be compromised, or there were simply not enough personnel to make a credible rescue attempt.

The main thing to remember is that Republicans who never found the WMD and cheered the killing of thousands and thousands of innocents from above are now oh-so-outraged that the outpost they refused to fund the protection of got overrun. Cry me a fucking river.
