You have your facts wrong. The ambassador lived there. He warned the administration it was getting dangerous. The embassy had been attacked about 3 times already. He was asking for help, he was ignored. The other countries moved their people out, Obama's administration ignored our people.
Now Obams is throwing people like Hillary under the bus for it hitting the fan when he is the leader----well I guess he isn't really.
FancyFeast doesn't really have facts wrong. No she knows no facts since she refused to read any of the news about the State Department documents released about Libya yesterday. In her attempt to deflect from them she said she had been talking about them for over 2 weeks in threads and they weren't even made public until yesterday. Deflectors do their job very well. I wonder how much the Obama campaign pays them.
Cops/firefighters/ATF/US Marshalls/US Military, American ambassadors to 3rd world, 12th century ME nut job countries who request more security, etc., walk in to situations ALL THE TIME thinking they might not go home at the end of the day.
The difference between you and them, is that they choose to.
Please knock it off.
They do not walk into such a situation in order to attend a couple of meetings with Turkish officials which have nothing to do with life and death but are more ceremonial in nature. Your comparison is just ridiculous. There is a difference between "thinking they may not go home at the end of the day" because generally they work in a very dangerous environment and a BELIEF that they security is so lacking that in all likelihood they will be killed specifically as a result of taking such a trip to attend mostly ceremonial meetings.
Didn't watch it, found an old rerun of I Love Lucy instead! Are you more brainwashed now than before?
Are you better informed about the present day happenings in the Middle East, specifically Libya, by having watched I Love Lucy instead of trying to expand your knowledge about Benghazi? You are funny and I am sure glad you don't get to vote for Obama. Whoops, you aren't going to sneak across the border to register a Democrat vote, are you?

You are quite simply wrong in your beliefs. You are the one not keeping up. The documents which were released yesterday had already been discussed and were written about prior and during the time of the Congressional hearing on Oct. 10. They were simply released AGAIN yesterday because they were an ATTACHMENT to the NEW LETTER which Issa wrote to the President asking for information. The LETTER was NEW. The document-attachment was NOT NEW.
How is discussing the thread topic, in your words, deflecting from the topic? You really, really need to take some time and read some of these threads instead of staying so busy making new threads.
p.s. roysoldboy, you may be right about my not knowing everything contained in the document dump by Issa on Friday. It appears that in fact some sensitive material was not redacted and therefore the document dump by Issa revealed names of people in Libya who help the U.S. I'm sure that was not discussed previously because the sensitive material was not released, although the many requests for security made by the Embassy in Libya was released and has been discussed at length.
"The documents relate to the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and four others. Administration officials, speaking with Foreign Policy magazine, accused Issa of endangering the safety of Libyans working with the U.S. government, whose names were not redacted from the report:"
Here is the nice lady who told me over and over yesterday that she knew all about the documents released yesterday by Issa and Hoffetz. She knows nothing about them and the fact that Stevens had been trying for 6 months to convince Obama and Clinton that he needed more security and also that Islamist power was growing. For some reason, we all know what that is, he was ignored by the administration. Part of the problem was that Obama was busy campaigning and couldn't be troubled and the rest has to do with is desire to convince people that Islamist power was diminished in the Middle East by his killing of al Qaeda leaders. His desire to do that has backfired on him and will probably result in his defeat when we get to vote, if we get to vote.
You still didn't know anything about those documents at 10:00 but were still trying to deflect.
dear god, oldboy! EVERYBODY knew about Stevens and others at the embassy repeatedly requesting more security.....the documentation showed that the requests went back to Feb. of 2012. Also, everybody knows that it was the State Department that denied the requests and that Hillary has taken responsibility for the failure on the part of State Department employees.
HOWEVER, there is one thing for sure that I didn't know. The huge document dump by Issa on Friday did contain information which should have been redacted for security purposes like NAMES of people on the ground in Libya who have been working with the U.S.......and was previously a SECRET! It appears that Issa, in his recklessness to gain more attention (for political purposes only) in his document dump about the very same issue which has been discussed so much, just didn't care about the security of people who do work for this country.
"Much like WikiLeaks, when you dump a bunch of documents into the ether, there are a lot of unintended consequences," an administration official told The Cable Friday afternoon. "This does damage to the individuals because they are named, danger to security cooperation because these are militias and groups that we work with and that is now well known, and danger to the investigation, because these people could help us down the road."
