Republican hypocrisy

          Republicans Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham have stated that they will block Ambassador Rice's nomination as Secretary of State if President Obama should choose to nominate her because she misled the the American people on the events in Benghazi on Sept 11.  They certainly have a right to voice their opinions.  In the days following the attack, the Republicans called for a thorough investigation into exactly what went wrong that led to the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens, diplomat Sean Smith and former Navy Seals Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.  There should be an investigation so that this does not happen again.
          Where was the Republican outrage when Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and the Bush administration misled and lied to the American people, and to the world, about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and connection to the attacks on September 11, 2001 to justify attacking that country?  Were were the calls by Republicans to investigate any of the seven attacks on U.S. Embassies and Consulates?
          Where was the Republican outrage when the Bush administration labeled anyone who spoke out against the Iraq war as unpatriotic?  Where was the Republican outrage when the Bush administration made the decision to stop news agencies from showing pictures of caskets of American soldiers killed in the Iraq war?  The Bush administration claimed they were respecting the privacy of the dead soldiers and their families.  But the reality is that they were worried that if Americans saw too many caskets, they would stop supporting a war that was unjust.
       Republican outrage would have more credibility if it were not dripping with hypocrisy.
