Washington (CNN) -- Late on the night of last September 11, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens spoke to his deputy for the final time from the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

"Greg, we're under attack," Stevens told Gregory Hicks.

Within hours, Stevens and three other Americans were dead, victims of an armed terrorist assault that has since become a political and foreign policy flashpoint in Washington's partisan wars.

Because it gives the Muslim Brotherhood bragging points. Just like having the Muslim cleric at the funeral of Seal Team 6. Our government has been infiltrated by Muslims, and they are even bragging about it in Egypt.

That is why everyone on the Hill is tip toeing around and the Media won’t make a peep.

Watergate was a partisan war in that it served then what it serves now - the liberal/socialist agenda.

Our local Gannett newsrag's headline Partisan Fight Flares Over Libya Assault is a clear attempt to discredit the hearings to the low information public. It's not our fault that the RATs decline to investigate their own, leaving Republicans to do the dirty work.

It appears to me that this was a hit on Stevens by our current government. I don’t see any other conclusion to this. But why?

That depends; Stevens was homosexual. Was he ever alone with Obama for more than a half hour? Fifteen minutes? How do you define a "quickie", anyway?
