re: #368 Testy Toad T

I think the plainest example is still probably the Benghazigate Boogalo. Something like 50 Americans died in various consulate and embassy attacks during Bush 43’s presidency. Everyone thought this was sad. Everyone wanted Bush’s State Department to do better. Everyone thought that somebody probably needed to be Held Accountable and whatnot. Everyone also recognized that shit happens.

There was no Congressional theater, no three-years-and-counting demand for various impeachments, no accusations of false-flag foul play. Michael Bay didn’t make films about any of them.

You want a better example, compare BENGHAZI!!!! to 9/11.

It took a year and a great deal of public pressure for the White House and Congressional Republicans to agree to allowing a commission to be convened to investigate the events behind 9/11. Benghazi? They went to work inside 3 months.

There was one commission for 9/11, which worked under strict rules, had a severely inadequate budget, and could not get any cooperation at all from the White House. Benghazi has had 7 committee investigations and counting, each with unrestricted budgets, and each operating with virtually little to no control from the party leadership.

When the 9/11 commission’s report was finally published, it was declared the “final word,” it’s conclusions considered definitive, and no further investigations were permitted. Meanwhile, every single report that has been produced on Benghazi has led to screams that “there’s still questions!” and yet another committee was formed.

There was roughly 2 years between 9/11 and the release of the commission’s final report. Benghazi was overly 3 years ago and there’s no end in sight.
