Really!!! Peggy we realize your mind is not as bright as the specks in Goldschlager but you are no Grey Goose either,the years of sobriety has not fogged your memory.This was the year you favored the Black Velvet dress on your rides with Capt Morgan aboard the M/V Makers Mark through the Canadian Mist of Niagara longing for the Southern Comfort of Manhattan and the embrace of Jim Beam after your break up at Jacob's Well.You were watching the Rye comedy of George Dickle on his Yukon Jack tour as he was trying to convince everyone that Charlie was really Jack Daniels brother.We realize the world was as pure as a White Russian unlike the Devil's Cut of today but you can't Sloe Gin us with your Screwdriver recollections you drunken hussy

Well, there's your problem right there: "knowing" some "things" about recent history. If you simply accepted the storyline the Important Moneybag Newspaper was carefully narrating at you, you'd be rid of that confusion lickety-split!

3). No, actually. NOT Al-Qaeda-associated militants. Other Arab, mostly militantly Islamist militants, many of whom say nice things about Al Qaeda, but basically unaffiliated theocratic Libyan nationalists. See, for example, the rather good <a href="http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/projects\/2013\/benghazi\/#\/\?chapt=0" target="_blank">NYT long-form piece on Benghazi from late last year</a>

The mass gathering of angry people, per NYT, appears to have been motivated by (false) rumors spread that during the initial attack, which the rumors called peaceful protests but security videos show were anything but, American guards had gunned down unarmed Libyans. Those same rumors caused the militias the Americans had been counting on for support to refuse to assist.

Still no evidence for the wingnuts' attacks. Still no sign that this bothers the wingnuts in any way at all. Those fuckers don't give a flying fuck about the truth.

Also far worse than lying us into a war that cost several thousand American troops and several hundred thousand Iraqi civilians their lives. Obviously.

<i>"No, Benghazi was no Iran-Contra, in terms of the nature of the crime or the handling of it."</i>

One difference is that Iran-Contra was an actual crime whereas Benghazi is a petty argument over talking points and whether "act of terror" is the same as "terrorism".

Negative spin operatives investigate positive spin gambit. This will surely drive unemployment below 5%.

Why, of course, Benghazi is the worst. It far exceeds Iran-Contra, Watergate, Teapot Dome, Credit Mobilier, Wounded Knee, the Trail of Tears, and slavery combined! Where’s your sense of proportion?
