Say, Tom, maybe you could lead a movement to retroactively impeach George W. Bush . . . On today's Morning Joe, Tom Brokaw, downplayed the significance of Benghazi, and suggested instead that what we really needed was "a big congressional investigation about the decision to go to war in the first place in Iraq for weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist."

Brokaw also underlined that more lives were lost in terrorist attacks on the US Marine in Lebanon, the USS Cole and Khobar towers, but that no congressional investigations into them were held. Brokaw mentioned that the attack on the Marines happened during Ronald Reagan's presidency, but failed to disclose that the USS Cole and Khobar Towers attacks happened under President Bill Clinton. Simple oversight by Brokaw, no doubt.
