I don't think you understand why Republicans are "whining "... everyone knows the Obama administration lied about the reason Benghazi happened at first, Republicans know it, Democrats know it, I know it, but Republicans want them to admit it. And they're never going to do that so....

I am upset about Benghazi as well, but I realize that both parties have their scandels. :)

I never said I was upset...

Yes it's true both parties have their scandals, but that doesn't mean we ignore scandals because of that.

Obama (administration) lied, but the bigger "scandal" IMO is that the media, for the most part, knew it and let it slide.

So what did happen? I keep hearing people referencing Bengahazi, but I never actually heard what happened and what the government's response was.

Unfortunately 2 wrongs don't make you right. The complaints about Benghazi have nothing to do with being attacked and everything to do with the governments reaction to the attacks. It isn't about the actions of others, but about how we act.

Our government responded to 9/11.

Our government tried to ignore Benghazi.

Both were attacks on American soil.

Both caused American deaths.

One leader stood tall and took appropriate action the defend America.

One lied about a video, covered failures in protecting Americas, and to this day blocks investigation into the stand down order.

Hmmmmm

Our government responded to 9/11.

Incompetence led to 9/11, and we "responded" by lying to the world and invading a country that was not involved, and in doing so, got more Americans killed, then tried to ignore that.

Both were attacks on American soil.

Both caused American deaths.

One was on the largest population center of the United States and the largest loss of life of any terrorist attack on the United States. One wasn't.

One leader stood tall and took appropriate action the defend America.

Not a single aspect of what Bush did was appropriate action, nor did it defend America.

One lied about a video, covered failures in protecting Americas, and to this day blocks investigation into the stand down order.

One lied about a video, the other lied to the United Nations and the world in order to justify an invasion of a foreign country.

Hmm...

Incompetence led to 9/11

Insufficient causality -- If that were true, we would be attacked daily since Obama took office. Go ahead and "Blame Bush" again, but that's becoming a lame excuse after all these years. It's as lame as saying the eight years of Clinton caused the incompetence ---- Very simplistic notion.

One was on the largest population center of the United States and the largest loss of life of any terrorist attack on the United States. One wasn't.

One was a stunning attack, the other a stunning denial that a terrorist attack even happened. KSM is in Guantanamo, the Benghazi perps. are not.

Not a single aspect of what Bush did was appropriate action, nor did it defend America.

Right -- For no reason at all, it never happened again. - Hmmmm

One lied about a video, lied about standing down a rescue, lied about why they could not immediately investigate the scene, lied to this day that there was any cover up. The other took immediate and decisive actions to protect our nation that remain in place today.

Conspiracy theories don't count as lies.

Benghazi turned out to be a witch hunt against Hillary Clinton. Benghazi backfired on the troublemakers.
