Consider this re Benghazi......................from Shelly

Yesterday's Wall Street Journal Online had an important piece by James Rosen comparing the coverup in Watergate with the coverup that was/is ongoing re Benghazi (witness the president's misleading statement, enabled by CNN's "moderator," made in front of millions who watched the last debate).

The difference is, with the rapid proliferation of information in 2012, as compared with 1972, much of the information about what the White House and senior administration officials knew, or should have known, is already available and not rebuttable.

The only rational conclusion one can draw from the incontrovertible facts is this: Someone within--or deeply connected with--the White House, most likely a political operative (Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod, or the president himself?), made a decision to mislead the American people about what precipitated the events in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9-11.

In hindsight, the president's (and Sec'y Clinton's and Ambassador Rice's and Jay Carney's) "story line" about the role played by a YouTube video was not only false, it was utterly insane.

Had an honest statement been issued immediately following the attack, and notwithstanding the dampening effect it would have had on the president's claim that his Middle East policies have been a "success," the attack in Benghazi never would have become the sort of issue that could, by itself, drive this president out of office.

But it has become that; and it is right that it should. A man so lacking in character as to permit, if not direct, the spreading of false statements about the loss of American lives, deserves impeachment, not re-election.
