Benghazi

Ah cover ups.

The charming thing about them is they eventually fail on an epic scale.

This week, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a contentious hearing on the security situation in Benghazi before the murder of the Ambassador to Libya. 

As the events of September 11, 2012 continue to be detailed, check the chronology time line.

1 worthy quiz is why cause 44, Madame Sec HRC, and Madame Ambassador Rice repeatedly sans modesty or restraint publicize a video that really ain"t all that - in effect - ensuring easily violently excitable elements betwixt Suez and Indus would act out and in a tactically diagonal dimension - put even more ambassadors at risk?

Or even attempt  to “politicize” a security fiasco and national humiliation in Benghazi.
