Despite what Harry Reid says<\/a>, at least one Democrat Senator wants answers into why this administration changed the intelligence from the CIA to fit their story. From the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, said she too has lingering concerns about how the talking points were created when it was clear early on that the military-style assault wasn’t a simple protest gone awry.<\/p>\n

She said Congress has asked the administration to provide an explanation.<\/p>\n

“We gave the direction yesterday that this whole process is going to be checked out,” said Feinstein, D-Calif. “We’re going to find out who made changes in the original statement. Until, we do I really think it’s unwarranted to make accusations.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, on Twitter<\/a>, the administration wishes that Republicans would just get over it. They don’t understand why Republicans are so concerned about Benghazi now that the election is over;<\/p>\n

It was just over a month ago when Obama deputy campaign manager and lying liar Stephanie Cutter got the ball rolling, declaring that the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Libya was only an issue because Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan insisted on politicizing it \u2014 a claim that seems even more outrageous in light of the \u201cFrench kiss\u201d of a third presidential debate.<\/p>\n

Confronted yesterday with a question about Benghazi, Democratic Party Communications Director Brad Woodhouse replied by tweeting simply, \u201cWe won.\u201d And yet the hearings continue, even though Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid yesterday smacked down the proposal of a Senate select committee. His reasoning? \u201cThe elections are over; it is time to put aside the partisan politicization of national security.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, “We won” worked so well for the Obama Administration in the last term…so, please try to hide behind it again. “Americans died, Obama lied” will look so good on bumper stickers during the mid-terms. Maybe most of us didn’t really give a rat’s ass about the campaign and were more concerned that four good Americans (three of them veterans) lost their lives and we want answers about how that could happen in this day and age. Especially in light of the warnings to Washington from the consulate that this might happen.<\/p>\n

And I don’t remember the Left shutting up about Abu Ghraib after the 2004 election. Or Scooter Libby, or Valerie Plame, or how much other crap did they try to use against Bush that election. <\/p>\n

John McCain, a day late and a dollar short as usual, came to the conclusion that the Benghazi thing hurt the Obama campaign’s narrative<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cThe narrative of the president is \u2018I got Bin Laden, and al-Qaida is [o]n the run,\u2019 but al-Qaida is not on the run, and is making a strong comeback all over the Middle East,\u201d McCain said on CBS\u2019s Face the Nation. \u201cThis may interfere with that narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCain said he would allow any nominee to lead the State Department \u201cthe benefit of the hearing process,\u201d including top contender U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice. Rice has come under fire for initially saying the Benghazi attack was the result of a spontaneous protests, rather than a planned terrorist attack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, it’s a cover-up on par with the Watergate cover-up. Well, except in this case they’re covering up the circumstances surrounding the deaths of four good Americans (three of whom were veterans). And just because the administration covered it up for political reasons doesn’t mean that we want answers for political reasons. We want answers because those three veterans and their families deserve answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
