The media is off the cliff.

Watching the Military Channel right now, it’s Friday night primetime and what’s on? => A agitprop documentary questioning the authenticity of the Bible.

Really? For real?

OK, can someone explain to me how a sequester that was triggered March 1, 2013, caused the State Department to have insufficient security in Benghazi in September 2012?

“I would think they would be upset a gay person was murdered”

Now is not the time. They only pull out the gay thingy when it’s politically convenient.

Why did the Obama Administration make up a story out of thin air about a non-existent demonstration based on a video that probably fewer than 50 people in the Middle East had seen?

Not actually true. There were at minimum some hundreds of rioters in Cairo storming the American embassy that same night.

While your basic point is valid, that the Benghazi attack was not a "protest" against the video, there is I would assume some possibility that the assault was initiated by people who were indeed offended by the video. Although this is probably unlikely due to the lag time to put together such an attack.

I guess Obummer should have had call forwarding to the GOP!
I would imagine the outcome would have been different if the Gop could share in the Presidents actions! Maybe just maybe, I do not know for sure but someone with balls could have woke up and said go kick their ass!

“BASHIR: No, because Karen, nobody is interested in the fact fiscal year 2012 Republicans voted to remove $331 billion from security budgets at international consulates and embassies. Nobody is interested in discussing that.”

I’ll discuss it. We gave some embassy in Belgium more protection than Benghazi.

I believe the IQ of a Media Journalist is about 75, and that they are convinced the Average Americans IQ is 60-—which may be true for Democrats.

Sherman, the Administration is intentionally NOT differentiating between the different cities.

There were riots in Egypt. There were no riots in Benghazzi. They are DESPERATLY trying to mention the riots in Egypt so that people will THINK there were riots in Benghazzi. THat is why Hicks testimony was so damaging.

The Benghazzi attack was a co-ordinated, pre-planned terrorist attack. Details now prove that. The CIa knew it withing 18 hours, because they intercepted intelligence of an Al Queda operative talking about being involved.

You don’t bring RPGs and Mortars to an “I’m offended” protest.

And according to law and testimony given by the Security chief In Benghazi Hillary or Nero were the ONLY two who had the authority to put personnel in a location the didn’t pass basic security standards which Benghazi didn’t meet .

The state dept. Also ignored Repeated requests for additional security. Matter of fact after requests were made security was CUT by the
STATE dept.

I can explain perfectly. It’s due to the need for the helpers who will need $150,000,000 to train people to understand how to fill out 0bamacare forms. You see, that money was borrowed from the security budget of the previous bi-ennial budgetary process and folded into the projected 2014 numbers. So, the State Department forgot to buy paper and lost the toner cartridge.

Yes. State just had the one cartridge and people had to work in stairwells to save electricity. The window washers went on strike and the carpets were ordered, though, since it was a fluid intelligence situation.

Let me be clear. Most Americans agree with the common sense security measures that fewer Pilot brand pens make on their daily lives. I think we can all agree to rebudget security when the cameras arrive on site. Until then, this is an ongoing investigation into the missing Sticky Notes, so I will take no questions.
