Benghazi! Drink!

Seriously?

If we were in a Benghazi drinking game, we'd all be under the table by now.

Ben Carson: Military Can't Continue Honored Traditions Because Of Benghazi

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 5/27/2015 11:15 am

No matter how many times official investigations, including a Republican-led inquiry, have debunked the claim that the military or the Obama administration issued a “stand down” order or denied support during the 2012 Benghazi attack, GOP politicians continue to push the discredited talking point.

Take, for example, Ben Carson, who has continued writing a weekly column for the far-right outlet WorldNetDaily even after announcing his campaign for president. Writing in WND today, Carson claims that the military will not be able to continue its proud tradition because leaders “abandon[ed] them as they did in Benghazi and [said] it was too dangerous and too late to risk rescue efforts.”
