The extent to which GOP lawmakers are ridiculed by the MSM for trying to
get to the bottom of Benghazi is unbelievable. If you missed Sen. McCain on
Meet the Press today with David Gregory, it’s well worth watching
now.
After explaining to Gregory that there are still a number of unanswered
questions regarding Benghazi, McCain concludes by saying there’ s been a massive
cover-up. Gregory is confused: “A massive cover-up of what?”
The crux of the interview, however, came when McCain asked Gregory whether he
even cared that four Americans died (transcript via NewsBusters):
JOHN MCCAIN: I'm asking you, do you care-- I-- I'm-- I'm asking you, do you care whether four Americans died? Or do you-- the reasons for that? And-- and shouldn't pe-- people be held accountable for the fact that four Americans died--But hey, what difference at this point does it make, right?
DAVID GREGORY: Well, what you said was the cover-up--
(OVERTALK)
DAVID GREGORY: A cover-up of what?
JOHN MCCAIN: Of the information-- concerning the deaths of four brave Americans. The information has not been forthcoming. You can obviously believe that it has. I know that it hasn't. And I'll be glad to send you a list of the questions that have not been answered, including what did the president do and who did he talk to the night of the attack on Benghazi?
And why was it? Why was it that we-- that the f-- the people who were evacuated from the-- from the consulate the next day were not interviewed the next day. And then they would've known that it was not a spontaneous demonstration. Why did the president for two weeks, for two weeks during the heat of the campaign continue to say he didn't know whether it was a terrorist attack or not?
Is it because it interfered with the line of Al Qaeda has decimated? And everything's fine in that-- in that part of the world? Maybe. We don't know. But we need the answers. Then we'll reach conclusions. But we have not received the answers. And that's a fact.

Oh please, give me a break. McCain is as much, if not more, responsible for Stevens death as anyone.
You may remember that McCain was a major force behind the overthrow of Ghadaffi, and even met with leaders of the main "rebel" group about a year and a half before Stevens was killed. In an effort to support these "rebels" McCain said "These are not al-Qaeda. They are Libyan freedom fighters." A thorough CIA investigation has shown that almost certainly this same group killed Stevens and also very likely with weapons procured for them by McCain.
Why is war-monger McCain being given a free pass on this one?
