Take your pick.
I already suggested that one.

But for the near future, I hope these three whistleblowers (and anyone who helped being them in and set up their testimony) stay far away from railroad tracks, small aircraft, and Ft. Marcy Park.

Specifically, Greg Hicks wondered why the military did not send a plane into Libyan airspace as a show of force, and why four U.S. Special Operations soldiers were not permitted to travel to Benghazi on a Libyan plane the morning of September 12.

You do realize that two of the four people killed were from a response team, as in they came to help, right?

It really doesn't matter how many lies or misinterpretations or how much wishful thinking y'all can come up with, nothing anyone says about the truth of the matter will satisfy.

What do I think happened? I think someone screwed up. Maybe a whole bunch of someones screwed up.
There was no intent to screw up. It just happened, like so many things do.
Of course hindsight is always 20/20.
Should Amb. Steven's letter from July been taken more seriously? Probably.
Should Congress have approved the amount of money the president asked for? Probably.
The list of "should ofs" is probably endless.
Can anyone say with certainty that changing any one of these things would have changed the outcome? NO.

So, how many pounds of flesh are people after? More people died in Texas at the fertilizer plant due to blatant negligence than died in Benghazi. When do those hearings start?

They've already been there. That's the problem - they were there, and they saw what happened. None of their testimony, was ever supposed to get out.

Democrats can't just impugn these people's testimony a little bit. They must completely destroy them. Whatever the Dems come up with, must be so huge and spectacular, that it knocks the people's actual testimony right off the front page.

Democratic Congressman Refuses To Let Republicans Ignore GOP Security Budget Cuts In New Benghazi Hearing

In light of these GOP mandated budget cuts to fund extra security in Benghazi, Stevens was advised not to go there. Stevens ignored this warning.
Dept spokesman. MRS Lamb, said UNDER OATH that funding WAS NOT THE ISSUE.

Obama didn't lie about a bad Video for 2 weeks after the West TX explosion.

This is not about people dieing.. it's about our President and his staff lying to us to save his reelection.

Did you honestly believe him after the assault ?

To serve Obama's political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism.

Why did State want the talking points changed? Because it had ignored warnings about rising terrorist activity in Libya and had reduced security rather than beefing it up, as our embassy requested.

The left can defend Obama all they want. Just take a moment to remember how during the campaign you thought Obama was great because Al-Quaeda was on the run. How many times did he use this in his speeches.

Don't worry, Obama will not come close to being impeached. The Democratic party and the liberal media has to save his ass as well as theirs. This thread already shows they are doing a good job, they have an audience that believes and hangs on everything the dems or Obama says.

There were 6 CIA team and 40-60 members of the 17th February Brigade,which were Libyans, most of who fled, along with the Libyans assigned to the compound. Are those the two response teams you are referring to? I have never read as to how many Libyans died protecting the compound and fighting the attackers, other than 7 were injured. They were probably willing to die for their country, but not for an American.

After the attacks ended without planes being scrambled or special forces dispatched, the lieutenant colonel in Tripoli who commanded the Special Operations team told Hicks he was sorry that his men had been held back.

“I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life that a State Department officer has bigger balls than someone in the military,” the officer told Hicks, according to the diplomat’s account. Hicks called that “a nice compliment.”

No, it's obvious you read what we write and draw your own conclusions that are far from what we are saying.

It's almost as if you are a Republican or something.
