Then what is all the fuss about? Stevens should not have gone there to begin with. Shall the US provide an army of security to non-embassy buildings in other countries? Stevens was advised that security would be low in Benghazi before he went there.

I would expect that it therer were that many personnel there is may be more than what you indicated, exactly what weapons could have commanded that type of presence. Seems more likely that we wanted to influence the outcome of the civil war and put our choice in place.

Don't you guys ever get tired of looking so stupid?
You are assuming that he was referring to this one single specific event. His actual statement was general and about all acts of terror. He did not, at any time, call this "an act of terror".

You might want to listen to that clip again...with both ears and mind engaged, emotions cooled.

More nonsense. It would never have been questioned as referring to Benghazi save for the idiot attempt from the right to turn the thing into a political benefit.

The statement is general but is clearly in the context of Benghazi. Actually clever in the way of politicians.

Remember at this point the President is being very careful. He likely is not fully sure of exactly what happened - particularly with respect to the CIA operation in the Annex. He does not want to pull an Eisenhower and then have Powers appear.

Obama and Hillary Clinton are lying scumbags. Scumbag lying clown Obozo should be impeached, and scumbag lying Hillary should go to prison. Both are responisble for the murders of four Americans.

Will we soon learn that another one didn't pay his taxes? A sure sign of a liar-before-Congress there.
How long before we learn that someone's daughter had a baby out of wedlock? How could we possibly believe a man's testimony about foreign attacks, whose daughter did that?

Which one(s) of them used to run a business, for which he did not have all the right permits and permissions?

What are the chances that an army of lawyers is digging into the backgrounds of each one of these whistleblowers, right now? (If the consulate in Benghazi had had the kind of attention and manpower now being devoted to investigating the people who might tell the truth, what chances that the attack would never have happened in the first place?)

How likely is it that the Democrats have already written up long lists of charges and accusations against these people who will soon appear before Congress? And are only waiting to decide which name to put on which list, before releasing them publicly?

Time to take a pool. What other accusation(s) will be levelled against the people who will testify before Congress, on the Benghazi terrorist attacks?

....anybody?

....anybody?

[/bueller]
They started days ago, disgruntled workers,calling at least one attorney a liar etc,etc. The real character assassinations will begin in ernest probably tomorrow and the IRS audits are probably already in the works.

Well,grab some popcorn and have a seat I guess we'll all see starting tomorrow won't we? I wonder what the Nielsen ratings will be for the station(s) that carry the hearings?

Obama's not fully sure of what happened with respect to much of anything if you're being honest, not even Obamacare.

And you're right, he'd rather pull a Clinton "I did not have sex with that woman" and deny until the end of days.

If/when it's found that the facts of what happened were deliberately changed by someone in the administration to fit their message then whomever did that changing and who ordered it will have big,big problems.
Even Bob Beckel cedes that much.
