Let's investigate the bigger issues

Posted June 03, 2014 5:01 am

I have a question for all those Republicans who want answers pertaining to the Benghazi attack. True, it was a tragedy, but why are there no calls for investigations about the lies we were told about weapons of mass destruction that have cost us about 6,000 GI's, tens of thousands more wounded, and over a trillion dollars? Besides leaving Iraq in total chaos.

Why no call for investigation of the lack of Bush administration oversight that led to the financial meltdown, of which we are still feeling the aftermath? Gen. Colin Powell resigned because of the Iraq War. Why no calls to investigate Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice? You want to have a "witch hunt"? Make it a big one - one that will really be important.
