Contrary to those who aim to just punish or slam, he is trying to ask the tough questions.<br /><br />One angle he intimates is this... what if the Obama Admin made a decision to sacrifice Benghazi, so as not to inflame the other areas in the Middle East where other uprisings were springing up simultaneously?<br /><br />It's doubtful that would be a decision that many would like, but there are times when a military commander must make a decision to sacrifice a few for the many, and we have done it many times over the years.<br /><br />We'll get to the bottom of this... but there will always be some who, no matter the outcome, will only be happy to see their interpretation of events vindicated.<br /><br />It reminds me of the Rodney King and OJ Simpson debacles in Los Angeles.<br /><br />After the officers in the Rodney King beatings were found not guilty, many in the liberal community were outraged. They were told by conservatives that since they were not in the courthouse everyday, they could not possibly know all the evidence and that they should accept the "honest" verdict of the court.<br /><br />After the Simpson verdict was released, both sides switched their viewpoints on the efficacy of the courts. Now the conservatives were outraged. But the liberals and those backing Simpson responded by pointing out that those who were complaining were not in the courtroom every day and could not possibly know all the evidence that was being presented, and thus, should accept the "honest" verdict of the court.<br /><br />Silver, sadly, each side will interpret this to suit their political bias. Believable or not, many still argue that Nixon was railroaded.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777087329254991970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-34007915727918722422012-10-31T09:43:04.214-06:002012-10-31T09:43:04.214-06:00If only Obama had strutted and puffed up his chest...If only Obama had strutted and puffed up his chest and said "Bring'em On!"
