Yeah, we should. Afghanistan too. I've read a lot about Afghanistan this year, and bribes were just a way of life there. Billions wasted.

This is something Marines have not forgotten, trust me.
There was a memorial for this where I was stationed:

That's what Nixon did in Watergate. It was the cover up that did him in.
Pres. Obama doesn't have much to worry about. He got past the election before the truth started coming out (because his administration refused to give Congress anything but redacted documents on Benghazi).
But the person who is going to feel heat is Hillary.
The Republicans are going to use this big time in the next election. And you can bet that her statement of "What does it really matter" is going to be played again and again and again.
That is why Benghazi is a big issue. If Obama's team hadn't decided to lie about it in the first place it would indeed be a "non-story". But getting caught in the lie, and then adding in all the shady spy shit that's been going on is all adding up to trouble in the political world.

To cover up what?
That the CIA was operating in Libya? Of course the CIA was operating in Libya. The CIA operates in every country.
This is making a mountain out of a mole hill, plain and simple.
