<p>My primary quibble is with something VERY IMPORTANT that Mr. McCarthy left out:<br />
<blockquote>With regard to that latter massacre in Benghazi, a State Department report issued this week could not help but condemn the reckless security lapses even as its authors whitewashed the culpability of Secretary Clinton. <strong>They also sidestepped the simple, central questions to which Washington, after three months, cannot produce answers</strong>: How and when during the seven-hour terrorist siege did President Obama learn about it, and what orders did he give to mobilize available military assets to protect the Americans who were under attack?</p>
<p><strong>[Editor ShainS added: and ...] <em>What was Ambassador Stevens doing</em> &#8212; at a CIA safehouse, NOT a &#8220;consulate&#8221; as continually reported/repeated à la The Big Lie &#8212; <em>in Benghazi?</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Fixed it for <strong><em>Seven Percent Solution</em></strong> and me &#8230;</p>
