U.S. captures Benghazi suspect in secret raid

U.S. Special Operations forces captured one of the suspected ringleaders of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in a secret raid in Libya over the weekend, the first time one of the accused perpetrators of the 2012 assault has been apprehended, according to U.S. officials.

Maybe this will shut up the Benghazi bullshit from the baggers?
Nah, they won't stop it, they hate everything about Obama and Benghazi is just one of their excuses for railing against him.

For sure he would know better than anyone else.

I expect they will denounce the operation as a sham, with this guy selected to 'take one for the team' to make the chief terrorist, the Kenyan usurper in our White House, look good, just as the righteous forces of White Christian America were closing in for the revolution....
