And this is after Obama says that we should close the Vatican embassy and merge it with the Italian embassy, for “security” reasons.

The Vatican is more dangerous than Benghazi?

A more probable explanation is that Obama loves Muslim terrorists but hates Catholics and other Christians.

The witness said the attackers carried a banner that was later identified to represent the radical Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia.

Gee and Ansar al-Sharia just happened to headquarter themselves at the hospital that Stevens was taken to.

Crocodile tears from a politician trying to save his ass...

Still, no one was mentioned as the person, or persons responsible for this renewal, and downgrading of the security at this facility...

The interesting question here is does the administration want this Benghazi incident, or the failures of ObamaCare to be in the news cycle again???

Or will the other drama be protrayed as the news of the day, like the unemployment extentions, and wintery weather be the topic of the week some more...Ohhhh, and don’t forget about the immigrations reform being championed by the quisling republican leadership elites...

11 months people...

Does anyone have the guts to toss every single one of these schumps to the street???

I’m not going to hold my breath...

So the Accountability Review Board failed to do its job. You know, the board that never interviewed Hillary.

Why did Hillary and Obama use American taxpayer provided facilities, personnel, equipment and funds to overthrow the government of Libya?

I don’t know but I do wonder if we were also paying Ansar al-Sharia.

“A lot of people don’t like Ansar al-Sharia, but their behaviour here has been faultless,” she said. “Most of them are unemployed, they do all this without pay.”

This does not necessarily mean the members are not receiving some other salary. Other sources, including Libya’s deputy defence minister Mohamed Taynaz, say it is likely that Ansar al-Sharia and Rafallah el-Sehat are receiving foreign funding.

The group’s role in the hospital was not just about security. They also acted as “moral guardians”.

Ahhhhhh.....look at the last sentence. Graham said that he talked to the FBI over the Christmas break and they told him that none of the survivors mentioned anything about protests. Remember, the New York Times came out with a story over the Christmas break saying that their investigation showed that there were protests. Oops! Bad news New York Times!
The New York Times.....paid Democrat liars.

Look up the definition of “treason”.
Is Al Qaeda our enemy?
Would members of the Obama administration providing aid to Al Qaeda possibly be guilty of treason?
Look up our punishment for treason.

“moral guardians” as in.....if a woman wasn’t covered head to toe in black, if an infidel was being treated at the hospital, they are to guard against the immorality? That kind of moral guardian?

“If any person or persons, owing allegiance to the United States of America, shall levy war against them, or shall adhere to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States, or elsewhere, and shall be thereof convicted on confession in open Court, or on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act of the treason whereof he or they shall stand indicted, such person or persons shall be adjudged guilty of treason against the United States, and SHALL SUFFER DEATH; and that if any person or persons, having knowledge of the commission of any of the treasons aforesaid, shall conceal, and not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President of the United States, or some one of the Judges thereof, or to the President or Governor of a particular State, or some one of the Judges or Justices thereof, such person or persons, on conviction, shall be adjudged guilty of misprision of treason, and shall be imprisoned not exceeding seven years, and fined not exceeding one thousand dollars.”

Seems like a whole lot of Legislative and Executive branches should be “pruned”.

Hillary, Barack, Biden, and much of the cabinet should hang. Many of their seconds, thirds, and the same should be in prison. Just on what we know as fact.

It’s interesting though, what if the POTUS is the person guilty of high treason? What if it is POTUS, all those around him, much of the legislature, and half or less of the judiciary branch? Whose ear do you grab then?

Yep, something like that.

“A Filipino nurse became nervous when asked how he felt about the new guards.

“I have a wife and daughter here,” he said, declining to comment further.”

“Posters promising patients punishment in the afterlife for smoking, and advising them of the best way to pray, lined the corridors of the hospital.”

Abu Mohammed rejected the assertion by President Mohamed al-Magarief that a sub-faction of Ansar al-Sharia linked to al-Qaeda had planned the attack. The assault was orchestrated by Gaddafi loyalists in the government, he argued.

“The top priority for Ansar al-Sharia is to protect Benghazi and to encourage people to respect sharia law,” he said.

“Asked about the recent attacks on Sufi shrines, which many said his group was responsible for, Abu Mohammed said that Ansar al-Sharia is opposed to the way Sufis practise Islam”
