Benghazi: In Perspective Let's see: Blame for problems but never any credit for success


Of course, in reality (if that word has any meaning here), we should be investigating Benghazi in order to determine how we might better protect our people in the future.
That’s what responsible, mature, intelligent people would do.
That’s what those charged with the security of nation are enjoined to do. That’s the oath they swore and their solemn duty.
But obviously we’re not investigating what went wrong in Benghazi in order to reduce the likelihood of such an event again.
Look at the “investigators.” Look at the questions they’re asking. Look at the witnesses and those called before Congress. Look to the talking heads on the News. Look at the testimony. Nowhere is there any effort whatsoever to quantify lessons learned, to develop a better process, to update security procedures or embassy staffing or define security protocols.
Because, obviously, the investigation isn’t about that.
It’s not even about Barak Obama, except by default.
It’s about blame.
It’s about sour grapes.
It’s about bitter partisan driven revenge.
It’s about the last presidential election.

 
Nothing, and I mean nothing tells you who conservatives fear in 2016 more than this idiotic charade.
