Not sure I am following the right-wing spin re: Libya. Help me out.

Let me just get this straight.

The biggest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor (and the only significant foreign attack in the mainland since the War of 1812) was a reason to rally 'round the president. In that case, ant criticism of our leadership in the aftermath was treason, even though 3,000 Americans had been killed.

But a terrorist attack that killed four people overseas -- well, that apparently justifies the impeachment of the president.

Do I have that about right?

When a Republican is in the WH you should never criticize the President in time of war.

When a Democrat is in the WH you should try to impeach the President even in times of war.

can remind them that Republican D Issa voted to decrease security funding at our embassies while he headed up one of the House committees. Sorry, but I don't know the details.
