Well, a former Bush administration official and Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson hammered Republicans for how they obsess over Benghazi while ignoring Dick Cheney’s war crimes.

Wilkerson said, “I find it an enormous problem that they go after something like this, Benghazi – tragedy that it was – and they don’t go after something that is a colossal tragedy like the war crimes of Richard Bruce Cheney.”

He also went on to say, “The fact that I was a member of that administration will haunt me to the grave.”

The point he makes is one I, and many liberals, have been saying for quite a while now. It’s amazing how furious Republicans want to act about Benghazi, yet they completely ignore the horrors that were committed by the Bush administration.

To fed to their hungry sheep. One thousand times the loss of lives of Americans in Iraq but that is not a problem. Don't get me wrong, losing lives in Benghazi was not on my bucket list and also $14 million to investigate so far is out of hand. The Republicans cut the budget which provided security to our facilities but they think the security should have been there anyhow. If the intent of the hearings was to provide better security to our facilities then I would welcome them but it is not the focus.
