From FoxNews.com:

The House voted Thursday to establish a select committee on Benghazi, formally launching a comprehensive and contentious investigation aimed at answering lingering questions about what happened before, during and after the terror attack that killed four Americans.

The House voted 232-186 to approve the panel. The vote breakdown was 225 Republicans and 7 Democrats in favor, with 186 Democrats voting against the measure. The Democrats were all moderate to conservative party members who face tough re-election campaigns.

The vote was never in doubt, as majority Republicans largely were united in support of the committee ever since House Speaker John Boehner called for it last week. Unclear is whether Democrats will boycott the investigation itself.

Of course, the vote was primarily partisan because the Demorats simply want to avoid the issue of four American deaths.  It’s terribly inconvenient, you see, both for Mr Obama and for Hillary Clinton.

Immediately after the vote, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., issued a statement accusing Republicans of “unending eagerness to exploit” the four American deaths in Benghazi, adding, “our nation deserves better than yet another deeply partisan and political review.”

As, simultaneously, the Demorats seek to bury the issue because it places the administration in a very poor light.  The bottom line is this: the more the Demorats and the Obama Administration stonewalls, the more the truth needs to be unearthed.

And oh, Trey Gowdy will head the committee.  An excellent choice.
