Answer to Hillary Clinton as to why it matters: You and the president lied.
From Eli Lake:
The story begins on Friday, September 14, when then-CIA director David Petraeus briefed the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence about the Benghazi attack three days earlier. The CIA's notes for that briefing included information about five previous attacks on foreign interests in Benghazi since April 2012; potential links to the al Qaeda connected Libyan militia, Ansar al-Sharia; previous CIA assessments of groups linked to al Qaeda in eastern Libya; and information suggesting Islamic extremists participated in the attack, according to the report.
But then the editing process began later that day on September 14, "[w]hen draft talking points were sent to officials throughout the Executive Branch, [and] senior State Department officials requested the talking points be changed to avoid criticism for ignoring the threat environment in Benghazi," the report charges. The report quotes one email saying there was concern that members of Congress would attack the State Department for "not paying attention to Agency warnings" regarding the mounting threat in Benghazi.
A meeting convened by the White House on Saturday suggested further edits to the talking points, according to the report. While a senior CIA official eventually changed the talking points, the report says those changes were made at the behest of the White House and the State Department. "Those edits struck any and all suggestions that the State Department had been previously warned of threats in the region, that there had been previous attacks in Benghazi by al-Qaeda-linked groups in Benghazi and eastern Libya, and that extremists linked to al-Qaeda may have participated in the attack on the Benghazi Mission," according to the report.

No one died in America.
That will last until the link between Al Qeada in Chechnya and the attack at Benghazi surfaces.
It wont. Its days are numbered. The Russians and Chinese will not allow sociopaths to control the US for much longer. It is just far too dangerous for the world. The only unknown is how many of us will die in the process. That is what I see in my crystal ball. We have a few months at most to alleviate the problem ourselves.
The noble experiment has failed - we have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the masses are incapable of self-governance.
There were and always will be too many low-intelligence voters in any population.
The rigors of an untamed land temporarily winnowed down the numbers of the foolish but they breed like rats.
It's even hard to be patriotic in a nation lead by President BO.
Please forgive the rant
Eeeewwwww!

The White House is behind every single slimy event which promotes their evil empire agenda.
BTW - in democracy years, we are old.
