We can agree that Bush was equally bad in kind, but the usual equations of degree are where I kinda lost track on the arguments.

And you're dead set against there being any actual investigation of any of the points in the cartoon.
What "points" do you see the cartoon making that have not already been investigated? Benghazi has already had an independent investigation - just because its findings only supported 90% of the conservative narrative means you should demand the consumption of taxpayer dollars to conduct additional investigations until you get the answer you want? I'm not anti-justice, in spite of your repeated claims to the contrary. I'm just opposed to conspiracy theories magically transforming into justifications for w

'Independent'
Is that the part you have a problem with? Was the press too lacking of a political agenda with their investigation? Please, then, tell me how congress is authorized to spend federal money on a redundant investigation when it is blatantly fueled by a political agenda.

You assert this without proof
The timeline - and the inherent impracticality of action that comes with it - is proof. The first attack was over in less time than it would have taken to fly troops in from the closest major US airbase. There was no way to know if the attack was going to lead to another attack elsewhere or if it was just going to disperse and go away afterwards. You can armchair quarterback it as much as you want but the timeline itself shows that there was nothing else he could do. Nobody criticized Bush Jr. for not

Look: I think you're full of crap
You are entitled to your own opinion. However you are not entitled to your own facts. The facts on Benghazi are out there for all to see. It has been investigated more than once. You want it to turn into a scandal many orders of magnitude of orders of magnitude greater than Watergate, to shake the entire democratic party down to nothing.
You can want that all you want. It simply won't happen. There are not enough facts to support it. Nobody anywhere contests that there were things that could have
