10. I've been curious about how the Benghazi story has been developing due to the Republicans' bizarre

Nov 2012

behavior, the timing of the Petraeus scandal blow-up, & Karl Rove's incredulous reaction to the Ohio election returns.

I've been thinking about a possible scenario: suppose that the 9/11 Benghazi attack was orchestrated by CIA operatives & financed by Wall Street. If so, it was intended for two purposes: to cause damage to Obama's re-election campaign (fail) & as a back-up plan that could mire down Obama's presidency with a blitz of investigations that might lead the way for Republicans to orchestrate an impeachment.

Plan A was to steal the election (fail) & Plan B is currently unfolding, but is not going very well for their side because, as you've stated, there are loyal public servants (who are more astute & more capable of) supporting & protecting Obama.
