Actually I'm having so much trouble keeping up with the Petraeus soap opera that I tend to forget that real shit came down in Benghazi. I don't buy the Republican take on Benghazi but I do regret that our Consulate was so poorly prepared for a terrorist attack. Frankly I'm surprised that the CIA team a mile away was able to get there in time to extract the vast majority of the Consulate staff. I still feel badly about the loss of Ambassador Chris Stevens. I didn't know him in the Peace Corps but he was a familiar type, one of the good ones.

American's seem to care more about the sex lives of our General's then the lives of our guys dying .. One person on TV said everyone knows the name Broadwell but cannot name one of the 50 soldiers who were killed last week. Bigger question is why the hell we are still there fighting and for what but that is another thread entirely.

by the way you have to take things as a grain of salt when you hear classified information. Every damn thing in the military and especially CIA is classified down to how much toilet paper we used last month. It is done on purpose so they have a reason to get ya if you screw up. There is classified National security eyes only and classified stuff that is we bought 20 gallons of gas at 7-11. All fucked up actually
