"to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, not a broader failure of policy."

Well, I spoke to some of my family, friends and co-workers and we all concluded that we don't care about Benghazi. We are too tire working and raising our families. We care about jobs. My nieces are almost out of college and they need jobs not stupid Benghazi.

You CNN editors cut off Bernstein mid sentence! No WONDER you're in the viewing cellar.

"Benghazi: a modern day Watergate?"  No

Anyone who actually thinks it is, doesn't know enough about one, the other or both.

I used to live in the part of the world and have been to Libya and know that just as in the USA, there are good people and there are bad people.  The bad ones are who we call terrorists, however, just like here, the criminal element is always conspiring how to cause trouble for their enemies.  In addition to that, Muslims are highly sensitive to derogatory and disrespectful utterings about anything Islam, actually, just like Christians are.  When Benghazi happened, I was not surprised.  It's libel to happen again and again in different places.  The criminal element will make a plan and use a catalyst, like the trashy movie that was released in order to cause trouble, and voila:  a perfect storm.  It' not a military issue.  It's not an issue for anyone in our government, unless they know what I'm saying, which is common knowledge among the people of that region.  That's why it drives me crazy when I hear all these Republicans insisting how they are right about something they don't know anything about, like sheeple.  Baa baa baa.

Once again. I thought CNN viewers would be more intelligent.

so going back 2 terms to talk about bush and all of the many things that we can discuss with bush, like iraq and the trillions of dollars obviously not well spent... thats a cheap shot, thats changing the subject and stupid to talk about, but see if u go back only 1 term and talk about 1 of the most insignificant things in last 10 years of america's foriegn policy.. its fair game and something worth discussing instead of all those other small issues...
