Redacted Truth
 
This largely jives with my take and lays out the arguments clearly:

"Note to GOP re. Benghazi: Stop calling it Watergate, Iran-contra, bigger than both, etc. First, it might well be, but we don’t know. History will judge. Second, overhyping will only diminish the importance of the scandal if it doesn’t meet presidency-breaking standards. Third, focusing on the political effects simply plays into the hands of Democrats desperately claiming that this is nothing but partisan politics.

Let the facts speak for themselves. They are damning enough. Let Gregory Hicks, the honorable, apolitical second-in-command that night in Libya, movingly and grippingly demolish the president’s Benghazi mantra that “what I have always tried to do is just get all the facts” and “every piece of information that we got, as we got it, we laid it out for the American people.”

On the contrary. Just hours into the Benghazi assault, Hicks reported, by phone to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton herself, on the attack with absolutely no mention of any demonstration or video, later to become the essence of the Susan Rice talking points that left him “stunned” and “embarrassed.”

......."

In sum, it's propaganda.

Um, guys, it's the Krauts' weekly column - that paper was simply the first link I could find.

He works for the Washington Post.

Correction, the WaPo publishes his crap, he only works for himself. And the knowledgeable Mr. Hicks spent half of his testimony telling Congress just how effing brilliant he is. Regardless of that brilliance he does not know more about troop movements that the officer in charge. He knows even less about F-16s.

piece-itpete 05-23-2013 01:10 PM

I'd hope he knew what he told Hillary ;)

Better watch it Bob, she might use her rope of truth at the White House lol.

That's two minutes to chug down the colonoscopy prep drink, and 118 minutes to crap your pants.
