Jon Stewart was pretty impressed with how well the capture of Benghazi attacker Ahmed Abu Khattala went. He couldn't find a single thing wrong with the operation -- "which is probably why I don't work at Fox." Ah, but America's greatest news network found flaws -- after all, it would have been easy for a pack of cub scouts to seize Khattala, since he spent his days lounging around hotels being interviewed by journalists, and, according to Fox, always "sipping" something -- a latte, a strawberry frappé, mango juice, you name it. And then there's the stupider complaints: the timing of the capture, which obviously happened because Hillary Clinton was appearing on Fox Tuesday. "Normally, to find that level of sophisticated understanding of causality, you would have to talk to a two-year old."

Jon Stewart Wonders How Fox & CNN Made All Those 'Hard Choices' In Hillary Interviews (Video)
If this administrashin scandalous keep up at this peace he will be automatically impeached! INPEACH!!!!!1!!!
What Fox News conveniently neglects to tell their idiot audience is that the mission to capture Khatallah had been planned for over a year. Delta Force spent a year practicing the raid and actually managed to trick Khatallah into letting the team into the compound, allowing them to capture him without firing a shot. The "we love the troops" crowd has no problem dissing Delta Force and questioning their ability to plan and execute a mission.
They also conveniently neglect to mention that since Khatallah has no provable links to al Qaeda, Bamz did not have the authority to kill or capture him under the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force against al Qaeda. So they had to do it the old fashioned way and build a criminal case and indict- the Justice Department needed the time to gather enough evidence to secure the indictment.
