The GOP blames Clinton and Obama for ignoring requests for more security even though the House did not vote in favor of increased funding for extra security.

Hilary Clinton Hits Back at Brutal Benghazi Hearing - YouTube



Bush ignored warnings about 9/11 which resulted in the biggest attack on American soil in the history of our country!

On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bush received a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That morning’s “presidential daily brief” — the top-secret document prepared by America’s intelligence agencies — featured the now-infamous heading: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.

Are you even serious with this? You're going to compare the ambassador making a specific request for additional security for a specific building in war torn Libya and being denied to a generic intelligence warning that Al Qaeda may strike somewhere in the 3 million square miles of the continental United States before the war on terror ever started? Come on now.

Why did the House decrease funding for such security measures by over 300 million in 2012?

I place no blame outside of those who initiated the violence in Benghazi. I do for the stupid, lame, utterly unbelievable excuse the administration came up with for the attack though.

If Benghazi terrorism was the result of incompetence, was also 9/11?

Yes. Specifically Bubba Clinton's, who was offered Osama's head on a silver platter but turned it down, sayng he wasn't a danger to anyone.

If libs had a clue, they wouldn't ask these kinds of questions. The answers aren't what they want to hear.

Spin time, now.

Gee, you think? There was some news headline from '93 proclaiming bin laden a "hero". No incompetence at all.

That the Administration themselves testified that funding played no part months ago I'd say you are way behind on the news curve.


Let's talk about Hilary blowing off the fact that the Administration intentionally misled this Country after the attack and she does not care one iota about that at all (I guess you don't when you were a part of it).

"We're not murderers, we're just stupid"

Sounds like an insanity plea

Clinton had the opportunity to take him out and did not have a pair to actually go through with it. If he had Al Qaida would not have grown into what they have become. And 9/11 would not have happened.
