Does Boehner really want to investigate Benghazi?

The Ben Rhodes email has brought the Benghazi raid and the infamous talking points revisions back into the news with a vengeance. On whom that vengeance is visited is yet to be known but it could rain fire and brimstone on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue if the public begins to believe it has been deceived by a bipartisan conspiracy. Everyone suspects, both Democrats and Republicans, that Obama wants to run out the clock on the matter but is he the only one playing for time? Nancy Pelosi, when she was the Speaker, led a party of ass kissing sycophants but Speaker Boehner does share that luxury. Pelosi could boldly lie that she was not privy to the water boarding of Guantanamo Bay detainees with impunity. Her caucus, where partisanship always trumps principle, didn't give a damn.
Suppose Speaker Boehner and one or two committee chairmen had been briefed about a clandestine CIA operation which the American public would not approve ? That would explain the curious statement by Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Rep. Buck McKeon when he trashed the House Oversight and Government Reform's star witness, Brigadier General Robert Lovell's testimony.

“BG Lovell did not serve in a capacity that gave him reliable insight into operational options available to commanders during the attack, nor did he offer specific courses of action not taken,” McKeon, R-Calif., stated. “In the end, while BG Lovell did not further the investigation or reveal anything new, he was another painful reminder of the agony our military felt that night; wanting to respond but unable to do so.”

It would also explain why House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, a man who has spent much of his adult life in the intelligence field both with the FBI and in Congress should suddenly decide that he was really born to do talk radio. Oh please.
Maybe it could shed some light on why the Speaker put a down payment on a $835,000 for a luxury condo in Marco Island, Florida. Was that just some time share investment or is Mr. Boehner also be planning a career move ? Would all three of these men like to see Benghazi go away? Benghazi aside, there have been frequent reports such as this one that tell of a plot by members of the House Liberty Caucus to oust Boehner. If Boehner has, as some suggest, retirement plans after the fall election he may feel that he has delayed the investigation long enough and that he can now allow the appointment of a select committee to investigate not only the Benghazi raid but also the purpose of the Benghazi CIA Annex.
It is now well know that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was an act of terrorism but was it random terrorism? Could it be that the attack was planned for one of the few day that Ambassador Christopher Stevens would be there and that the date of 9/11 a mere coincidence? I am of the opinion that someone wanted Ambassador Stevens dead and that was the sole purpose of the attack. Curiously the terrorists who could provide that answer have not been apprehended even though the presence of some of them is well know. Would they be a bipartisan embarrassment? I'm not prepared to argue that Secretary Clinton wanted Stevens dead but her department certainly adopted a cavalier attitude for the well being of all consulate personnel by withdrawing the Special Forces security teams. Why? When in the history of the nation have American diplomats been protected by third world, rag tag, mercenaries such as the February 17th Martyrs Brigade?
Benghazi is the biggest scandal in any living person's lifetime. No one was killed in Watergate. Monica Lewinsky was never a threat to the republic. Four men are dead and all the country knows for certain is that help never arrived. Ultimately Obama bears the responsibility for the dead but the foot dragging by Speaker Boehner causes me to think there is plenty of blame to share. Only the appointment of Trey Gowdy to chair the select committee will satisfy me that he intends to finally restore some credibility to the House.
