Benghazi et al

On September 11th 2012 an American diplomatic mission in Benghazi was attacked and set on fire. Two Americans were killed including the American ambassador to Libya. Some hours later a CIA annex was also attacked killing two of the security team. Ten were injured in these attacks.
The Obama administration sent their spokespeople out to make the claim that these attacks were a spontaneous response to an anti-Islamic video,  Innocence of Muslims. The creator of this video was subsequently arrested and sentenced to one year in prison for matters relating to the video.
The story promulgated by the Obama administration that placed the cause of the attacks on a video has been proven to be mistaken at best, a deliberate lie at worst. What is more intriguing is who decided to promulgate this cover story and what purpose were they seeking to achieve by it. After all, American diplomats were killed, American embassy personnel were killed, and Americans in the foreign service of their country were injured to a greater or lesser degree. The questions arise; who's butt was being covered, who came up with the cover story, who decided to promulgate it, and why did our press sup up and repeat this lie when it was obvious at the time that it was a lie? Another question occurs; where was President Obama when all this was going down? Given the opportunity to ask this question, I would also like to know where the president was on the night that Bin Laden was killed before he arrived late into the situation room wearing his golfing attire?
The GOP will try to hold Benghazi hearings while the DEMS will try to derail them. None of these dog and pony show theatrics will bring to justice those responsible for the Benghazi killings. Nor will they determine who it was who set out to deceive the American people about the causation of the attack. It will however fill our airwaves with more breathless reportage. Bread and circuses, bread and circuses.
