We caught the guy who was allegedly behind the 2012 attack on our consulate (or whatever that building was) in Benghazi, Libya. By “we,” I of course mean U.S. Special Forces. Neither (presumably) you nor (definitely) I were involved in any way.

Since Benghazi, and all the supposedly unanswered questions about it, have been the subject of multiple Republican-led hearings and whatnot for almost two years, you might think this would come across as good news.

They—meaning Republicans and conservative pundits—have been accusing the White House of using [insert almost literally anything here] to distract us from Benghazi. So now that we have a warm body to ship off to Guantanamo, some of them are……….

………wait for it………..

………suggesting that this is all intended to distract us from something—perhaps everything—else:

It’s been just over a month since former Republican Congressman and current Fox News talking head Allen West took to his blog to complain that the Obama administration was focusing on the Boko Haram kidnappings in Nigeria in order to distract Americans from the ongoing investigation into the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Now that a key suspect in the attack has been arrested by U.S. Special Forces, West thinks President Barack Obama is using that Benghazi capture to distract from everything else.

You can’t make this sh!t up.

The only common, consistent factor is distraction. No matter what, the Obama administration is trying to distract us from something else. As soon as the White House observes or directly affects the thing from which they are supposedly distracting us, that thing changes. It’s politics by Heisenberg.
