Cenk hosting today.  We announced that we’ve captured one of the perpetrators of the Benghazi attack.  This led to Fox News Conservatives to speculate that this is a conspiracy to clear Hillary’s name politically.  Videos from a Heritage Foundation panel that constantly fueled crazy conspiracies on how Benghazi was carried out led to a female Muslim student asking about the tons of peaceful Muslims.  In response, one panel member went off on her, claiming that 300 million are radicals that want to kill Westerners and peaceful Muslims are irrelevant. Obama has announced that up to 275 troops will be sent back to Iraq to provide security for the American embassy and to protect U.S. interests.  Cenk explains why he thinks this will revamp the war back into high gear.  Conservatives’ latest revisionist history on Iraq is to claim that the reason we went in was to sacrifice 4500 Americans to liberate Iraq, only to have Obama waste it all by pulling out.  They forgot about the WMDs that were falsely pitched to the American people.  Cenk reads some of the most powerful anti-Iraq War quotes.  The words happened to be from Dick Cheney back in 1991 before he had interests in war profiteering companies. Cenk comes back with another “I Told Ya” segment, where he remembers calling that Mitt Romney wants to run for president again now that the Establishment frontrunner, Chris Christie, is rocked by scandal.  Several reports show that he is back in campaign mode.  While conspiracy theorists talk about backroom deals, the Koch Brothers are showing their devious plans in plain sight as they seek to raise $290 million for the upcoming elections so they can buy politicians for their interests.
