As the presidential debate on foreign policy is coming shortly, this is my current file of stories on "Benghazi-gate". Apparently it is a riddle, wrapped in an enigma. Competing theories range from simple incompetence to a planned October surprise gone wrong. In any event, there has been a coverup, aided and abetted by those in the media loyal to the President to run interference. The coming debate will be interesting and historic as this scandal now has the nation's attention. It helps to have the information at your finger tips. So, for you entertainment pleasure, here is the file: Benghazi-Gate.

As the presidential debate on foreign policy is coming shortly, this is my current file of stories on “Benghazi-gate”.
Sorry to continue to be a pain in the “OSS”.
Please stop using “-Gate”. That was Nixon’s deal. Nobody died in Watergate.
This thing “BENGHAZI” stands alone, all by itself. BEN-GHAZI !! Please stop attaching “-GATE” to BENGHAZI !!
This really stinks. No wonder Crowley was trying to run interference for Obama in the debate.
Send them all to Bob Shieffer so he has them at hand when the topics arise!

Very informative lists. Thanks Nachum and please keep calling it Benghazi-Gate as it’s a reminder as to what happened to Nixon and no one died.
"Blah-de-blah-gate" is a leftist construction designed to paint Richard Nixon (and by extension all Republicans) as the archetype of corruption and evil.
Please don't use leftist rhetoric.
VERY useful!!! Thanks...
