Benghazi was a covert CIA operation under the direction of Gen. Petraeus and everyone there, including the men killed, knew it. Petraeus had dozens of operatives on the ground in Benghazi before, during, and after the attack. That is why CIA was in charge of the talking points. Every GOP member of the Intel Committee knew it then and every GOP member of congress knew it by October 2012. They also knew that because it WAS a covert operation that details would NOT be forthcoming in any immediate way, and that would give them plenty of time to create their own narrative that would excite their base and raise negative feelings towards the WH.

For the GOP narrative to even be plausible would Mr. Gowdy explain to the American people how he has come to believe that Clinton overwhelmed Petraeus and took over his operation in Benghazi.

Perhaps the simple truth is that Mr. Gowdy is an obsessive partisan, not a truth seeker.

I'm going that way, myself. So I just keep it cut short, because I look better that way. The hard part is that I'm lazy about getting to the barber, but I'm getting better at it, simply because I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to cover up reality.

Kenneth Starr, anyone? The endless search for a "gate" to pin on Clinton that finally had to settle for an alleged blow job and a stained dress. When will Americans wake up and vote these one trick ponies out of office?

Benghazi is a media redirection of all those connected to the screw up of not only the most monumental worst decision about going to war by Bush and Cheney in this century, but of the basic ethical discharge of covering up corruption by the media in general.


Breaking News is so obnoxious and amalgamated deviating from what is or should be normal or standard news today conflates messages into weird gossip with real news.

All making Comedy more appealing than being serious to the point America has to put up with entertainment news convoluted with hate based rhetoric rants by major players like Limbaugh, Levin Hannity, etc. They are mental abusers as in the current NFL that has physical abusers.

Modern investigative Journalism reporting has turn the corner biased against the basic citizen. This modern Journalism is the key player that brought America to an un-Godly dysfunctional spectrum of distrust.

Benghazi investigations are such a small proportion in the corruption or wrong judgments that need to be aired out but cannot because of the secrecy.

America is in a very dysfunctional mental waste knowing what is investigated about the basics Benghazi or the Iraq war by Bush and Cheney are a secret sham covering up profiteering.

They screamed that we were making Paul Wellstone's funeral political and yet their every action has a political motive.

Why is that?
