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.

I'm going to guess that you are a staunch republican. Your comment sounds familiar. I've heard this before. Oh, that's right. I remember now. The Iran-Contra scandal of 1986 during the Reagan Administration. It actually lasted from 1985 to 1987 and involved the sale of modern (for that time) weapons to Iran in exchange for the release of hostages, and those sales would fund the Nicaraguan Contras. Of course, Reagan denied any knowledge of it and the Tower Commission found no evidence of involvement. "A huge sting operation involving foreign nationals and the President didn't know?" Don't go telling me that heads would be rolling in any other administration
