Benghazi attacks definitely don't pass the smell test

[LMNO]

If Gitmo wasn't going to become a factory for turning foreign fighters into assets, then I'd be surprised.  This is really good info.  It's kind of funny that the GOP is trying to use Benghazi as some sort of weapon against Obama, but they're doing it all wrong.

This IS very good info. Much appreciated Cain.

Senate Committee says Benghazi Attacks Preventable

[Cain]

And here comes the agitprop:

Establishment Republicans and a right-wing group of former spies and special forces operatives that says it is nonpartisan but has historical Republican ties are raising a ruckus over Hillary Rodham Clinton's handling of the 2012 assault on U.S. installations in Benghazi, Libya.

Well, when in history has that combination ever been troublesome in American politics?

Incidentally, their spokesman is "former CIA official Fred Rustmann."  He's got an interesting history.  Valerie Plame, private corporate intelligence/CIA fronts and, according to the (admittedly unreliable) Larry Johnson, a thief as well.

And OpSec has some ALEC links too.  All we need is the Koch Brothers and Dick Cheney and some poor liberal's head is gonna explode...

Hmmm, related?

Likely, yes.

Though I can completely understand where Clinton is coming from, and even have a certain amount of sympathy for her, putting any of that down on paper was stupid.  It fits perfectly into "the Clintons are ruthless Arkansas mafia types who will crush anyone in their scramble to power, so unlike, say, Richard Nixon or George HW Bush" trope.
