An interim report for the US House of Representatives on last September's slaying of the US Ambassador and three other Americans laid the blame squarely on Obama Administration officials. Specifically cited was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's approval of reduced security.
The report found serious inconsistencies between the documentary record and Secretary Clinton's testimony under oath to Congress and suggested that a prima facie case for a charge of perjury has been laid.
Press Secretary Jay Carney scoffed at the report's so called evidence. The revelation of documents with Secretary Clinton's signature on them authorizing reductions in security doesn't mean anything. It certainly doesn't prove that she knew what she was signing or that she even read those documents. Signing papers put in front of them is what the officers of government do. Insisting this means they bear responsibility is a stretch.
To bolster his case, Carney recalled Congress' habit of passing legislation they haven't read. It's like the pot calling the kettle black. The US Government is such a huge operation that running it is beyond a normal person's capability. Congress ought to be cutting us some slack instead of honing in on every little mistake we make.
Carney gave long odds to the possibility that the perjury issue would go anywhere. I seem to recall that there were 'inconsistencies' in some of former President Clinton's statements under oath, Carney remembered. Was he prosecuted? No. No one had the guts to open that can of worms. Secretary Clinton will get a pass. She's a private citizen now and should be allowed to enjoy her retirement without being dogged by accusations.

So, it still comes down to........
Who gave the order to not help them. Causing the deaths of said victims. We had help, 1 2 3 hrs away at most. A complete wast of our people for what?
A frightening view of a sociopath in action.
This calls for a good platitude or two so here goes....All of that is in the past....a person can’t live in the past.
Once again a GREAT satire!
Thank you, John.
I think you’ve pretty well captured their mentality.
Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art? Does the Obama Administration read your articles?
Yes, and the Benghazi victims can’t live in the future. So, from the liberal perspective it all balances out.
