The Libya story must be really bad if Democrats want to relive Iraq & WMDs

My new American Thinker post.

Give an A-plus to Senator Paul and Senator McCain for asking good questions. 

Give a C-minus to Senate Democrats praising Sec Clinton and turning the hearing into "we love how much you've traveled for your country" show.

Isn't traveling the world what the Secretary of State is supposed to do?

Give a big F to Senator Durbin and Senator Murphy for "selectively" reminding us about Iraq & WMD's. 

What a shameful performance from these two men!  

The Benghazi story must be really bad if Democrats want to distract the public with "Bush bashing" about the Iraq War.

Why didn't Sen Durbin or Sen Nelson ask Secretary Clinton about her Iraq War vote?  Who lied to her about WMD's?  Was it her husband President Clinton?   As I recall, President bombed Iraq in December '98 because of WMDs?  or what about The Iraq Liberation Act that President Clinton boasted about in '98?

Can we finally get over the "who lied about WMDs" issue?  I don't think that anybody lied. 

Pres Bush made the right decision to take out Saddam Hussein.  He made that decision in the context of 9-11 and I don't remember Senator Durbin going on TV on the night of the invasion saying that anyone lied.

Let's get back to Benghazi, a terrible episode that killed 4 Americans and was followed by an even worse charade of explanations.

I agree with Sec Clinton that we should find out what happened that day rather than look back.  At the same time, it does not help that the Obama administration is not helping us to find what happened that day.

Immigration: Senator Rubio is on the right track

A few days ago, Senator Rubio came forward with an immigration plan that makes sense all around:

"Here’s how I envision it. They would have to come forward. They would have to undergo a background check. They would be fingerprinted. They would have to pay a fine, pay back taxes, maybe even do community service. They would have to prove they’ve been here for an extended period of time. They understand some English and are assimilated. Then most of them would get legal status and be allowed to stay in the country.”"

This plan will accomplish two things:

1) It will preempt the Democrats.  It will force Pres BO and the Dems to put up a plan.  We remind you that Pres BO gave speeches but never called on Democrat majorities to vote on a plan; and,

2) It will be well received by honest employers who would rather hire people legally.

I'm sure that some will call it amnesty.  I disagree because this not free or unconditional.  It is a good start but a lot of work lies ahead.
