    It's a conspiracy!

    You do realize that the only reason Benghazi is even remotely believed to be some massive incident is because Fox News and other right wing talking heads keep chattering on like mad about it. Sometimes shit happens and there's no way to plan for it.

    But hey, anything to take down Obama. That was the plan for the last two years and it failed miserably.
