Also, the Democrats should be pointing this out. It would show just how petty and partisan the Republicans have become, and how they're trying to use everything they can to undermine this administration and a potential Hillary run.
Us Dems on the intertube are pointing it out, but we need some Dems with more visibility, like those in congress. Yes, the media seems to favor the Rs, but I don't get the impression that Dems in congress are making a stink. Even if the corporate media shuts them out, they could still put it on their websites.
Maybe a congress critter's webpage could say something like this:
I am congress critter XYZ and I am proud of our foreign policy under Obama. We ended the war in Iraq. We are ending the war in Afghanistan. We caught OBL. We are not rushing into war with Syria. We are not lying about WMD as the Bush administration did. This led to the loss of over 3,000 lives. The Republicans have one goal in mind: They want more wars. They truly believe that Americans should fore-go vital domestic programs and pursue needless wars instead. They want your sons and daughters to die for them. And that is why they are pushing Benghazi. They want to create the impression that Democrats are soft on defense and terrorism. They want us to go to war with Iran and Syria............ (Yeah it sounds kinda silly the way I wrote it, but with enough editing it could be something coherent)
Note: I personally think the Benghazi witch hunt is also about their war mongering. If they get rid of Dem, suppress Dems, make Dems appear soft on defense or put pressure on Dems then they get to have more wars!!

If its Benghazi, it'd be Carthegenian leather. Which is really just canvas, bordered in ox-hide.
