Complicity.
No other answer.

You are correct.
It goes to the top, of all three branches.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., faults the State Department and intelligence community for failing to prevent the attacks.

There is no fault here. It was part of the plan. The Ambassador was supposed to be attacked.

It’s really not that complicated.

For the election, Obama needed to show that he could be tough on Islam.

He planned to have the Ambassador kidnapped and then he would get tough on the terrorists and they would give the Ambassador back. Obama a hero, election in the bag.

He stripped away all the security to make it easy. Problem was that some Navy Seals showed up and started kicking some Muslim butt. Terrorists figured they were set up and the real plan was to wipe them out. They thought that Obama was trying to be the hero by defending the Ambassador.

Things spin out of control, Ambassador is abused and killed Muslin style. Obama and Hillary have to go into spin and lie mode.

It seems to me that the facts of what happened seem to fit well into this scenario.

That's why Speaker Boehner must name a special committee to uncover what the administration appears to be covering up.

As long as you're dreaming, Cal, would you like a pony?

That is the most plausible explanation I have heard to date.

In a normal world I would say you are "bat sh-t" crazy. However, with this administration nothing would surprise me. A point that few have commented on is why would the administration put out a totally false story given the chance the truth would come out before the election? If the truth were known before the election he would have lost. Obama could have easily went after the terrorists with drones and special forces. The real question is why was the lie about the attack less risky? Killing or capturing the terrorists would have shown he was tough on terrorists that hurt and kill us. He would have still won the election.

The only logical answer is the truth is far worse than saying, "it was terrorists and I will hunt them down and kill them and then actually do it."

I would suspect if he started to hunt them down and kill them, the truth would have come out. Why can CNN drink tea with them and interview them in a cafe in Libya but Obama and the CIA and our special forces not find them nor kill them. Their is only one logical answer, "Obama will not let them."

To quote knankles, “What difference does it make”.

Yea she’s correct it’s only four dead Americans no big deal so lets move on, I’m running for POTUS and that is much more important.

My promise to the American voters is, “Less hope and less change, period”.

Having spent the last two hours reading articles here on FR and other news places, this is the ONLY story about the Benghazi cover up. Interesting how the longer these things get delayed the easier they die down. Anyone remember Fast and Furious or the IRS and/or the NSA scandals? Yep, they too have gone the way of the carrier pigeon

Liberals consider themselves the smartest people on the planet. Consequently, they can’t admit that they’ve been wrong about everything since at least World War II.
