GOP Rep. Howard Buck McKeon, the Republican chair of the House Armed Services Committee, says hes satisfied with how the US military and ergo the Obama administration responded to the deadly attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans, including the US ambassador to Libya.

The news also exonerates expected Democratic presidential nominee, and then-Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. More on that in a moment.

I think Ive pretty well been satisfied that given where the troops were, how quickly the thing all happened and how quickly it dissipated, we probably couldnt have done more than we did, McKeon said to reporters today, as quoted by AP.

McKeon then went on to plant a not-so-subtle dig at fellow Republicans who keep harping on Benghazi as if there were a real scandal there.

We have been working on this for a long time. We issued a preliminary report, McKeon said. At some point, when we run out of people to talk to, or we run out of people to talk to two or three times, at some point, we think well have as much of this story as were going to get and move on.

Put a fork in that GOP talking point.

Lead Benghazi cheerleader Lindsey Graham has been focused on getting to the bottom.

The Republicans have been trying to make political hay of Benghazi since the attack, which took place on September 11, 2012, only a few months before the presidential election.

But its been an uphill climb for the GOP as the American people apparently understood that while four people dying was a tragic thing, it was just as tragic when some 13 attacks on US diplomatic missions during the Bush years killed 17 Americans. Thats like four Benghazis.

Of course, the actual 9/11, which was also under George Bushs watch, was like 744 Benghazis, but whos counting.
