Utter and complete nonsense. Have you no knowledge of history? Watergate was a criminal conspiracy by the President for which he avoided impeachment only by resigning. There is nothing of the sort over Benghazi.Quote:

Panetta is, at best, making excuses after the fact to cover for his boss. At worst, he is incompetent as well.

When a set of State Department emails were released Wednesday, one reporting that a local Islamist militia had claimed responsibility for the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the US ambassador to Libya, conservatives thought they had the smoking gun that the Obama administration had lied about what had occurred.
