They are doing their best to turn this into a scandal. They tried their best in his first 4 years, and wound up looking like loons. From what I can tell, they are going for full lockup material now. Yeah, all they have left is semantics. The horror of Benghazi has been reduced down to heinous crime of labeling it 'an act of terror' instead of 'terrorism'...

Al, What are we talking about here? Semantics? I'm talking about a strong, consistent stance against terrorism from the White House. Our ambassador was murdered on the anniversary of 9/11 by Al Qaeda, and this administration was reluctant to call it what it truly was. An act of organized terrorism, not a protest against a silly YouTube video. The excuses coming out of the White House are really weak. They blame bad intelligence. Really? Patreaus just testified that the CIA called it terrorism from day one. OK let's blame the channel of communication between the CIA and the White House. Yeah, that must be it. The wording just got changed somehow. It's like playing a game of Telephone. Really, if this administration is reluctant to even face the threat of terrorism in the eye, how can we trust that another 9/11 won't happen on his watch? Tenchusatsu
