And that is easily seen. As well as something like umbrellagate. Thats why most just tune those like you out.

But rave and rant all you wish. Thats what you know best.
One wouldn't have to ask if the administration was forthcoming like Obama claimed it would be.

In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.

And Obama said on about 4 different occasions it WAS on account of the video.

Hillary claimed the same thing.

Both Obama and Hillary told the parents of the deceased at the scene when the body's were returned that they would get the man responsible for the video.
And they did. Unfortunately they have not got any of those actually responsible.

Everyone was not being evacuated to Tripoli.

The questions have been asked, and answered, again and again and again. Nine hearings worth, now. Just because you don't like the answers that have come out of those hearings doesn't mean the administration hasn't been forthcoming. It just means that you don't like the answers. Sounds like that's your problem, as most of the rest of the country has accepted that bad things that are out of our control often happen in places where we have diplomats. Just as they have under many previous administrations.

"Bad things happen" would have been an acceptable excuse. This administration seems to feel they must lie even when the truth is a better answer.

Why weren't all you right-wingers clutching your pearls over the dozen or so attacks on US diplomatic personnel that took place when the torturer Bush was busy failing at his job?

Well the Hearings must be over to make a justification like that. Please index the page in which that determination was made by the committee.

They seem to be sticking to the story.
