    Nonsense dear, it's just beginning.
    Reading the assorted brain farts coming from the rabid right has been most enjoyable.
    Keep it up.

    Then you can explain why for two weeks obama perpetuated the lie that the attack on our embassy was retaliation for some obscure video.

    Get to it, boy.

    You have not looked at the big picture.. They have been slashing the budget for embassy security every years since Bush was in office... Issa is being dodgy....

    Since 2010, Congress cut $296 million from the State Department’s spending request for embassy security and construction, with additional cuts in other State Department security accounts, according to an analysis by a former appropriations committee staffer.

    Rep. Michael Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, made clear Wednesday that congressional staff will be looking into the attack, in addition to a probe by the State Department’s inspector general and another State Department investigation required by federal law.

    The cuts to the embassy construction, security and maintenance budget was almost 10 percent of the entire appropriation for that account over those two years, said Scott Lilly, now a scholar at the left-leaning Center for American Progress.

    “Anytime we cut that account back, we are putting people’s lives at risk, people who are serving the country” in dangerous places abroad, said Mr. Lilly.

    Ryan, Issa and other House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut $1.2 billion from State operations, including funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions. Under Ryan’s budget, non-defense discretionary spending, which includes State Department funding, would be slashed nearly 20 percent in 2014, which would translate to more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security.

    Yeah, that meme had been debunked.
    It was the state department that decided to cut security from Libya.
    So, you can keep parroting that irrelevent nonsense till you're blue in the face.

    Overall, and by his own admission, obama got those four men murdered.

    So why is it that there is more security at the Consulate in France than Libya? You know why? Because Obama is incompetent.

    Because the embassy in France was also on security alert because of the nasty video.

    What happened to Mr. "Undisputed fact"?

    He cut and ran almost as soon as his "undisputed facts" were given the slightest scrutiny.

    bahahahahahahahah so we have more security in a peaceful country and less in a nation where we know attacks are coming and have come months leading up to the killings?

    So what about the 7 hour long attack that went on when Obama decided to goto bed and let the men die?

    Did you know that is irrelevant?
    The state department chose to cut security for out embassy in Libya in favor of providing Chevy Volts to our embassy in Vienna.

    No, I don't think they really do.

    Given the option of a 10-1 spending cut to tax increase deal to get to a balance budget, the Tea Party Sworn to Grover would rather keep the debt rolling. Even those tax revenues are proportionately the lowest in 60 years.

    All GOP Candidates Would Walk Away From A 10 to 1 Spending Compromise - YouTube

    Do you think a group that would turn down a 10-1 spending cut-tax increase deal really wants a balanced budget? I didn't think you were that dense.

    • in what form was this warning? when was the warning? who recd' the warning.

      Pulled their ambassador from tripoli?

      We know of the requests, but strangely nobody knows who made the call not to add security, who he requested additional security from and what the rationale was for not providing it.


      Turns out they were ex navy seals working for the CIA. Who did they ask permission of? Why was permission refused.


      really? where did this information come from?

      Not according to the state dept., the defence secretary and the CIA director - let's believe fox on that one.

      There were 24 CIA operatives and 6 embassy staff. Do you know exactly how it went down? You do realize that there were at least a dozen manning the cia station don't you?

      And? what decision was made?

      Why? could it be because it was a) an illegal arms smuggling operation b)CIA controlled c)concern for security breaches or any of a number of other reasons.


      not according to the director of intelligence. But so what, they lied. They lied to protect the arms shipment and ensure opsec. Or should they have tipped their hand right away, alerting Syria that Turkey was complicit in arms smuggleing and a big shipment was on the way?


      No, not to party, to continue campaigning. Since there are literally dozens of questions that remain unanswered, it strikes me that you and FOX news' rush to judgement is nothing more than politically movitated hand wringing.


      Again they were CIA agents. where do you get the info that supports your characterization of the battle. How do you know they knew how to win? You seem to be more than willing to jump to conclusions.


      I totally agree. And I think they will get it.

    No, it didn't. I am not going to argue, but honestly, we all feel really bad for you.

    that's odd... you conservatives just got your asses handed to you in a big way and I don't feel badly for you in the least. It is amazing to think that, 24 years ago, Mike Dukakis got almost as small a percentage of the white vote as Obama did Tuesday. Dukakis got his ass kicked... Obama kicked Mitt's ass. America is no longer a white man's nation and the party that figured that out won... the party that refuses to acknowledge that will continue to be more and more irrelevant as time goes by. Nah.... I don't feel badly for you at all... and if you bozos wanna make the next four years about Benghazi and birth certificates and college transcripts instead of putting that petty crap aside and working with this president to help find consensus solutions to the problems that face us, you will only hasten your journey to the dustbin of history, and I won't feel badly about that either. Not one bit.

    Obama barely won. He didn't kick anyone's ass. He is the first president to win re-election in modern times to get less votes than he did during his first election.

    Why don't you want to know the truth about Libya? I know the families want to know, I know most of the American people want to know.

    So tell us, what is Obamas plan to get the nation back on the right track?
