I've had enough with this Bengazi nonsense.

It was a tragic attack that killed 4 Americans. It is possible that more security could have protected them, but the people there knew the risks. It is very unlikely that there was a coverup; the problem was fog of war and that is what all the military people have been saying.

That being said, can we start prosecuting people from the Bush administration days for the lead up to the Iraq war? There is a real, well known conspiracy theory. I know that Obama didn't want to go after them in his first term, but it has become clear that the GOP is just going to constantly go after him looking for any excuse to impeach him for his second term. He might as well keep everyone occupied on a real story, and I think the American people (or maybe just the dem base) would be very happy to see someone prosecuted for an illegal war.

I think I can speck for all Democrats in saying we'd really welcome their list of things that should have been done differently, and that would have thwarted this attack, keeping those 4 Americans and many Libyans alive.

While they are at it, might I suggest they go ahead and give us the plan for ending ALL future terrorist attacks. Seriously, Republicans. Stop making us play guessing games. Just tell us the answer.
