Paul Wolfowitz weighs in on Petraeus; “Forget the gossip: focus on Benghazi.”

5. Focus on WHAT about Benghazi?

What is the problem here? I still haven't heard a single Republicans offer a simple cogent explanation of what is the big problem with Benghazi.

If somebody breaks into the other party's campaign HQ and steals documents, I understand that.

If somebody claims there were WMDs and then starts a war killing over 100,000 people, and it turns out the WMD thing was a lie, I understand that.

But what, exactly, is the issue with Benghazi? As far as I can tell, it all boils dome to a very pedantic, semantic argument about exactly what role the Youtube video played. WTF does that matter? It obviously played SOME role, and it probably wasn't the whole story. But how does arguing about the PRECISE impact the movie had do anything to improve our security or any other aspect of our foreign service?

What am I missing? There must be more to it than this.

The Republicans have turned into "The Boy That Cried Wolf." If there ever really is a serious issue, we'll probably just ignore them. "Oh it is just those Republicans whining about some stupid nonsense again.".
