First of all, no one cares about what Huckabee thinks. Second, I'm really tired of the politicizing of Benghazi. Under W, 11 US Embassies were attacked. Number of witch hunts: 0. The Bush White House was told by US intelligence on August 6, 2001 that Osama and his boys wanted to attack US soil. They did nothing. 3,000 people died, and we went to war with two countries. All the while, if you disagreed with the President, you were un-American. The Modern GOP is full of ignorant, self-serving hypocritical fear mongers. It's all they know and it's all they can do. I can't stand Obama, but unemployment is down, the deficit shrinking, the stock market at an all time high. If a Republican had did this, the GOP would be trying to get him written into the Bible.
Look at this:

September 17, 2008, U.S. embassy in Sana'a, Yemen
Militants dressed as policemen attacked the embassy with RPGs, rifles, grenades and car bombs. Six Yemeni soldiers and seven civilians were killed. Sixteen more were injured.
These are all the Embassy attacks under Bush. Democrats never made an issue out of them. Why? Probably because they're adults and not controlled by a bunch of radical right wing nut jobs. Did we talk about impeaching anyone? No? Ok, but 4 Americans lost their lives under the socialist/Muslim/American hater Obama so now we can impeach? Give me a break! Did the President lie or was it too soon to have an accurate answer? It's hard to tell. Remember, it took forever for the W administration to figure out 9-11, all the while we the public received wrong info simply because it was so early in the process. But that was ok, while this is not. The only difference is the man in the oval office. Weapons of mass destruction anyone? No, that's ok. It was W. Once again, The modern GOP is showing their lack of true leadership and of commitment to the American people. They care more about trying to kick Obama out than they do trying to help the average American out. We talked about history a few weeks back, and now more than ever, I believe that history will show Obama as a pioneer and a courageous man. History will show how an unflexible Congress did everything to undermine him. It will show how he was publicly disrespected (hello Joe Wilson) yet kept his cool. It will show how everything he did was criticized and threatened with impeachment. If they haven't figured it out yet, the GOP by being a bunch of A-holes, are essentially turning Obama into a sympathetic figure in the eyes of history. But of course they don't see that. They just see 4 people dead in Benghazi, a place they never even heard of until this tragedy
