Former Bush Official Bashes GOP for Obsessing over Benghazi While Ignoring Cheney’s War Crimes

It’s no secret that when it comes to the attack in Benghazi, Republicans have done just about everything they possibly can to keep this “story” in the news. And time and time again their ridiculous conspiracy theories pertaining to the attacks that happened nearly two years ago have been soundly debunked. Their most recent push to keep this “story” relevant has been reduced to an email they discovered pertaining to talking points that were used in the days immediately following the attack.

That’s what this recent flare up within the conservative media is all about. What talking points was Susan Rice given by White House officials just after the attack in Benghazi?. But to hear Republicans talk about this email, it’s a “smoking gun” to a conspiracy as corrupt or worse than Watergate.

I guess it’s a good thing for Republicans that conservative voters don’t like to think for themselves. Otherwise they might see how ridiculous it is that nearly two years after this attack, we’re once again discussing it because of the talking points that were used just after it had occurred.

Well, a former Bush administration official and Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson hammered Republicans for how they obsess over Benghazi while ignoring Dick Cheney’s war crimes.
