23. What mistake was made?? ... please be specific.

Fri May 10, 2013, 09:52 AM

May 2013

4 Americans were killed, and the details around that are now pretty well understood.

The GOP is not trying to figure out how a situation like that in Bengazhi could be prevented. Their hearings are not about improving security. Its not about how such security is funded (funding they voted to cut btw).

They are complaining about one set of media talking points, in which Susan Rice indicated that the information they had was incomplete.

What the GOP is proving is that dead Americans, after 9/11/2001, or after Benghazi, are nothing more than political props to them.

They are uninterested in what actually happened, and totally focused on trying to find any form of political gain from any aspect of the deaths. And they are willing to hold an endless series of investigations to that end.

This is not surprising. They don't intend on governing. They are never interested in that.

They will probably hunt until they find that some one got a BJ somewhere in Bengahzi.
