"It's classified"
What a wonderful excuse for evading the consequences of everything from incompetence to outright treason.
But where it fails in this case is that Americans have died. No secret reason in the world justifies deliberately putting American civilians in mortal danger then ignoring their pleas for help as they are murdered. Neither would it justify trying to sell this tragedy off as merely spontaneous and unexpected demonstration of Muslim outrage against some unpublished movie that nobody ever heard of instead of the planned Al Quaeda operation it turned out to be.
But again Benghazi isn't the only time this administration has resorted to lying to avoid taking responsibility for their foul ups (at least i hope it was a foul up instead of something more sinister).
This administration deliberately allowed the sale of over 2000 modern firearms to the Mexican drug cartels and one of them was used to murder border agent Brian Terry. Others have been used in crimes on both sides of the border as well as kill an estimated 150 Mexican civilians.
To date nobody has been called to account for this abomination except for a few low ranking patseys who have been forced to resign. You can't claim the "it's classified" excuse for that. High ranking heads should be rolling over this screwup, and would have been in any previous administration, yet the Attorney General is being given a pass because, believe it nor not, "he didn't know about the operation". A huge sting operation involving foreign nationals and the AG didn't know? Well to me that's a stunning admission of incompetence and reason alone for his resignation yet Obama continues to protect him and stonewall the Congressional investigation for obviously political reasons.
This administration is as rotten as any we've ever had and it's high time to send them packing. I'm just not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on Benghazi given what I've seen for the past three years.
