Fox News host Bill O'Reilly is now demanding a new congressional hearing on the Benghazi attacks held to his personal specifications.
On the February 6 edition of his Fox News show, O'Reilly demanded that Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) subpoena former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to ask him whether he told President Obama that the Benghazi attack was a terrorist attack when he first informed him of the attack on September 11, 2012. O'Reilly's insistence that this question "is the crux of the matter" about Benghazi makes no sense, given that the president called Benghazi an "act of terror" several times in the days after the attack -- a fact that Fox News continues to ignore.

Mr.Bill
(24,300 posts)if you want Congress to do something, go get yourself elected to a congressional office. You know, like Al Franken did. until then, please understand the limits of your power to dictate what congress does.

(1,428 posts)Even if you accept their versions of events it still doesn't make sense. First of all who cares whether Obama called it "an act of terror", "a terrorist act", "a senseless crime", or a "ham sandwich"? It's like those idiots who get bent out of shape and start hyperventilating themselves if you call the country a democracy and give a red faced rant on how the country is a republic. Wankers!
Secondly nobody is going to change their vote because a terrorist act was committed, especially in a war zone. I don't recall Obama claiming there will never be any more terrorists acts ever. Only an idiot would think that. That would be like blaming the president for earthquakes and hurricanes.
