Searching for truth about Benghazi

Whether the Democrats like it or not, someone in this administration is going to take the fall for the disaster that claimed four American lives in Benghazi.

With last week's announcement that a special select committee was being formed to probe deep into the Benghazi fiasco, the Democrats are clearly scrambling.

The decision to form the select committee came following the release of new emails that showed the administration lied extensively about the attack in a blatant attempt to clear the President on the eve of a national election.

There can no longer be any doubt that everyone in this administration went to extraordinary lengths to hide the cause of the attack and lied to protect this President.

In a normal world, this would be grounds for removal and criminal charges. But alas, we no longer live in a normal world.

We live in Obamaland, where this President and his agenda must be protected above and beyond all else.

In trickles, here's some of what we now know.

The President shunned the situation room where Benghazi decisions were being made in order to prepare for a debate and fundraiser the following day.

A high-level operative in the Obama White House removed any wording that would include terrorists in the attack since the President had just proudly announced that the terrorists were "on the run" and no longer a threat.

The Obama forces turned a terrorist tragedy into a political game and have stuck with that unraveling narrative even to this very day.

Van Jones, the former socialist czar to the President, this week pointed out that others were killed when George W. Bush was President, as if that comparison somehow makes the lying acceptable.

What a disgusting fleabag Mr. Jones must be.

Susan Rice, the appointed media spokesman, lied and then lied and then lied and then lied, etc. to the American people.

And former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may soon find out exactly "what difference it makes" when this select committee holds hearings.

No sooner had the announcement been made concerning the select committee than Democrats began talk of boycotting the hearings.

They have called Republicans delusional with the constant probes into the Benghazi tragedy and as one highly articulate White House spokesman said this week, "Dude that was like two years ago" in response to a question on the touchy issue.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

And there is enough smoke around the Benghazi cover-up to light a thousand campfires.

If someone - anyone - in this administration would at long last tell the truth about the snafu in Benghazi, perhaps we could put this tragedy behind us.

But in an election year with the Obama legacy at stake, look for more lies to stall the American people from ever knowing the whole story.
