The District of Calamity Recipe for Burnt Rice


The House Oversight and Investigative Committee hearings on Benghazi held by Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA 49th) has shown that the State  knew from the get go that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was not due to a spontaneous demonstration about an anti-Islamic internet video.

So as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY) famously asked in the earlier Benghazi hearing-- "What difference does it make?"




Briefly, the testimony from the three high level diplomats to Libya showed  decision making with eschewed customary operating procedure, it alluded to political pressure on career State Department bureaucrats to silence the Benghazi bungle (which in the law is called Obstruction of Justice), highlights an Obama Administration more intent on campaigning to get re-elected rather than governing in America's interest. This sort of testimony could give someone a headache (sic).

Moreover, it shows that the most of the media are Obama Administration toadies who will ignore and obfuscate rather than pursue the truth to a scandal larger than Watergate where four brave Americans died. And most of the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee ran interference to denigrate the witnesses to protect Mrs. B.J. Clinton's presidential prospects in 2016.

Well, this lie emanating from the Oval Office and the State Department was a recipe for burnt rice from a willing dupe. Maybe the recipe came from the cookbook for 3 am snacks, right next to Stand By Your Man cookies.

Now that there is blood in the water after the Benghhazi bungling, President Barack Obama is the target of ridicule from the likes late night funny men like NBC Tonight Show host Jay Leno.
