"Investigators looking for lessons from the fatal terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi might want to start on Capitol Hill, where Congress slashed spending on diplomatic security and U.S. embassy construction over the past two years.
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..."
You're being extremely childish, 2011 and 2012 cuts are FACT. They are not "proposed" cuts, they are actual embassy security cuts for the fiscal year the attacks occurred. You keep referring to future cuts, I'm referring to actual cuts that were made.
Lol, the brain of a rwnj at work, comical.

Hummmmm, well....then, at least they said "congress" and NOT just repubs......
I would also be interested in what month in 2010 this was passed.....
It seems to me that it's not when the budget was cut nor how by how much that's the telling factor. It's the two-faced approach of "trying to cut the budget" then turning around and "complaining when there's a security issue".
You either believe that security is adequate or you don't - but you can't be trying to cut the budget then complaining when there's not enough security - because if there is NOT enough security, the fact is those who cut the budget share the blame.
I was just browsing the calendar and realized that we are not that far away from ridding the nation of the albatross of Obama and his failed policies.
In fact, as of today March 6th, we only have 209 days left until this sorry excuse for a President gets canned.
Can't wait!
It won't make a hill of beans of difference if Romney replaces him. If Ron Paul or Gary Johnson would, THEN you'd be talking REAL CHANGE and REAL SOLUTIONS and turning this country around and heading it in the right direction for a change.

What you cannot do, is blame one side when it takes both sides to pass....

So WHY are you DOING SO?
Congress - of which the GOP controls half - clearly felt that embassy security was not that important. NOW, the Right is complaining about it. Pretty two-faced.

Apparently, the rwnj's wanta deny that they are the motivational factor behind slashing government funding no matter what the real costs are. How quick they forget.
