Do you care about the Benghazi cover up?

Look at all those answers that say "Oh, what cover up?" Sgt. Schultz would be so proud. Know nothing, see nothing, say NOTHING! All is well.

Which is the other reason I care. To expose the blithe willing ignorance the Left plays upon itself. As acknowledging a cover up would mean they must realize their POTUS is nothing but a Head of State. Of a government even they can no longer comprehend. Let alone control.

Government-shrinking conservatives cut $11B from the State Departments budget. http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2011-10-01/worl... When State robbed Peter to pay Paul, the cons, with the Libyan ambassador’s blood on their hand, complained that Peter was being whacked. “Why didn’t Obama do something?”

The Benghazi “consulate” was an important CIA operation under command of the ambassador. The object was to purchase weapons captured by militias from the previous regime. Was the caper important enough to require the approval of the President or of the Secretary of State? Or did they just get approval to purchase weapons? We don’t know.

In any case, they had all the protection that the State Department could afford without that missing $11B, a fraction of 1% of the cost of “EYE-RACK”. When the “consulate” was attacked, they called for help.

The CIA’S problem is that they don’t tell anyone what they are doing. When they call for help, there are no fully-loaded planes ready for take-off. Resources have to be gathered and deployed. Preparation is the only substitute for time. The rescue failed.

Foreign Policy published an interesting item from Billy Birdzell, a retired Marine Corps infantry officer and special operations team leader, responding to Fox's secret informant. http://ricks.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/05/02/be... His conclusion:

“Even if the CIF was on ready 5 (fully armed, sitting in the aircraft with pilots at the controls) in Sigonella (the closest European base to Benghazi) with advanced warning of an attack but unsure of the time, and they launched at 2232 on only-in-Hollywood orders from someone other than the president, they would not have been able to do anything about Stevens and Smith's deaths, nor stopped the mortar rounds.”

The other problem with the CIA is that they always need a cover story in case their operation is blown. So they OK a story that conceals whatever they want to conceal. And everyone on the team goes along with the story. That’s the entire story. End of story.

But if you are a conservative, then it’s a new story and all Obama’s fault. Why was he sleeping on the job? Why did he refuse to act in time to save the ambassador? Why did he lie about what happened. Why doesn’t he let the truth get out? Etc., etc.

Politicians (and some journalists) get away with that crap because half of all adults have below-average IQ. And only a small fraction of the other half has any military experience. They have a cartoon view of a world in which the President is omniscient and can push a button and counter attacks arrive on time.

The Commander-in-Chief does not direct a platoon. That is done by a lieutenant, far down the line. The C-in-C gets a report concerning one of dozens of simultaneous emergencies. He orders a fix and then turns away to the next emergency in line, expecting to eventually get an update from his next-in-command. It is only in the very rare Kill Ben Laden operation that the C-in-C observes the progress. That’s the real world, beyond the comprehension of a conservative.

The naive view of the conservative is fed by visions of GWB landing on the deck of the Lexington carrier, fresh from the combat zone where he personally directed the defeat of Saddam. Conservatives live in a cartoon world.

There is no "Benghazi cover up". Such a notion is a creation of Fox News, a few opportunistic Republican members of congress, and rightie websites like Breitbart. They are all belittling the deaths of the ambassador and the others, as are people who post uninformed questions like this one.

Why should I care about something that never existed?

Wow, Hillary sure has the GOP running scared! And for good reason. Hillary has 2016 locked up. Voters across the country are excited about her possible run. She’s the runaway favorite and the best qualified person we’ve seen in a very long time.

She’s earned it, been a good teammate for President Obama, ran a strong enough election to try again, has a resume like no one’s ever seen – one that is even stronger when you include the years she played a role as President Bill Clinton’s counselor. She knows very much what it’s like to be president, knows what it’s like to be there when things are going well and when they’re not going so well. Further, the GOP has alienated the women's vote like never before in history, and the Dems have the minority votes tied up as well.

I care a great deal, as should any American who wants honest and responsible government.

Hillary Clinton's statement, "What difference, at this point, does it make?" epitomizes the left's attitude toward Democrat scandals: It's no big deal. Let's move on!

The fact that the mainstream media takes this same attitude is appalling. Let's hope they will be dragged, kicking and screaming, into covering the upcoming hearings. (You can imagine the wall-to-wall coverage the hearings would get if a Republican were president.)

I care about it, and I hope heads will roll after this is fully exposed. Obama's impeachment would be enough satisfaction.

Benghazi was too much of a screw-up even for someone so perfect as Obama.

The only thing covered is the brain of the Republican. There is no cover up. And its sad we are wasting our tax dollars investigating the hatred of Democrats.

Naw I'll believe Killarys lies when it comes out in her new book soon to hit stores and I BET you it will be a best seller that SHE thinks will put her in office when it NOT, she will make the election in 2016, and I bet you she will continue to endorse one world gov mint policys as the current traitor in chief is doing

And Watergate ended Nixon's presidency.
