House votes to create new Benghazi investigation

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has voted to establish a new investigation of the deadly assault in Benghazi, Libya, with Republicans vowing to dig deeper in a search for truth.

Democrats say the election-year inquiry is actually a political ploy to raise campaign cash and motivate GOP voters, and they're weighing a boycott.

The vote Thursday was 232-186.

Four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, died in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission.

NOTHING ELSE , so nobody died because of those talking points

Nothing in future attacks were effected, etc.

So 11 Benghazis and 54 deaths under W, no problem

911 and 3500 dead, no problem

Iraq on lies and 100 thousand dead, no problem

am I the only who is so furious I am shaking?

In a 233 to 186 vote — which fell largely along party lines, with Republicans overwhelmingly in support — the House voted to form the select committee, which will be chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.). Seven Democrats -- all of whom represent conservative-leaning districts -- voted in favor of forming the committee.
