Wow..the US went on for 2 weeks with "it's the movie" while the rest of the world said "terrorist attack".
And you're defending them saying "Well they retracted it" ?

Sure is easy to pull the wool over some people's eyes.

sense when does the reason for what someone did matter to the action itself. If you kill someone and it isnt in self defense then it doesnt matter if you did it because of a religious reason or if they gave you a fake smile.

You are arguing something that is arbitrary. And something that isnt true.

Rice was a puppet put in front of the press that Sunday across various channels saying that.
Meanwhile Libya said the Friday before that it was a terrorist attack as did Al Jazeera.

And you have no problem being misled for 2 weeks until they "retracted" it ?

It certainly is true. Go look it up yourself.

Yeah..I know, Al Jazeera is the voice of the bad guy, the enemy and not to be believed.

I won't change the subject. When you're given funding, you prioritize where it's going to be spent. Why not pull some security from another place that's safer when this place was clearly not? If funding was really the issue, why would they have told the military in the area not to intervene? They were available and would not come out of the budget of the State Department. Finally, the reson they gave for not fulfilling the request was that they wanted to give a different image. The funding point was a CYA effort as a retrofit.

The most heated exchange of the day was Clinton's reply to Senator Johnson.


Quote:

Facing expected scrutiny from Republicans during her testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Clinton appeared to take exception to Johnson's pointed inquiry into the State Department's initial report that the attack had been mounted spontaneously as a reaction to an anti-Islam YouTube video.
"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans," Clinton responded, raising her voice at Johnson, who continued to interrupt her. "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk last night who decided to kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."
Clinton continued, defending the State Department's efforts in the wake of the assault.
"Honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is people were trying their best in real time to get to the best information," she said, before blasting the senator's line of questioning. "Give me a break, Senator Johnson. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen."
Earlier in the hearing, Clinton

It appeared that to some the focus was on Rice's statements after Benghazi ,,rather than finding the murderers. Very few questions on who was behind the attack.
