Im wondering if the Obama Admin and State Dept just botched it all out of desperation because through the first 24-48 hours, getting intel and what not, that they knew they screwed up. I mean, you had an Ambassador in a place that had been attacked and wanted more security on the anniversary of 9/11 poorly secured! They screwed up before it even happened. Then they got desperate because it was an election year, and they could not dare fess up to their screw ups because of that.
Boggles the mind that two years later, Obama still hasnt said where he was that night and what we was doing. He clearly wasnt concerned because he wasnt in the situation room. That friggin dork that was on Fox news last night was there, but our damn President couldnt be?! Why? Just what was he doing that was so important? Getting ready for his stupid fund raiser?
I think this is most likely - they panicked. Hillary Clinton panicked because it was on her watch and she knew that she had hung Stevens out to dry and Obama panicked because he is President "I did't know" and reactionary to all situations. Bottom line is probably that neither one of them is actually running the show. My best guess is that Patrick Kennedy in the State Department is the "bad guy" and John Brennan in the Administration were the front people who actually were running the operation.
They were able to manipulate the Secretary of State and the President of the United States on Political grounds to "save them". None of any of this is anything close to "impeachable, and that's all coming from people who are clueless, BUT it does point out their total incompetence of leadership - and that is important. Obama was hiding in a corner somewhere in the White House and sucking his thumb - we have no idea what Hillary Clinton was doing, but she has a lot more experience in damage control.
I think she blew it on this one - she should have just blown the Administration in and will probably regret that she didn't do so. Panetta actually said in testimony that they could "do anything, because they couldn't guarantee that there would be no casualties". Think about that for a minute.
This nation stands by and allows US Citizens to be assassinated and murdered because we are "afraid".
Since when? Since this crew took over and are too cowardly to act when necessary.
I find it amazing that so many of the liberal partisans have become the polar opposite of what they were just 40 years ago. It took nearly three years to get all the pieces in the Watergate scandal, and nobody died in that one. Now we have what appears to not only be a cover-up but a coordinated rewriting of what transpired to protect votes.
That email, Vietor's "Dude" moment, Pelosi's bizarre "Why Aren’t We Talking About Something Else?" rant, and the conga line of Democrats flooding main scream media to downplay and spin this thing only makes me think that is exactly what they did.
This administration has always felt nixonian the way they operate.

On top of all this, she had the audacity to scream "what does it matter now?" She's the darling of the DNC?

You have two people that have never served a day in the military and you are going to get a lot of
"I don't knows"...

Not to mention that when something is clearly awry the Lemmings come here to defend it.
Getting rid of Obamacare hasn't worked out so well after 54 attempts, so now back to this issue which has been parsed thru repeatedly with nothing there... Maybe they'll also dig up umbrellagate again also.

I believe I see your point and it makes me sick. This all must be exposed to the light of day.

When you've actually got nothing, wild speculation can always be counted on to at least make you feel better.
Look--I'm really sorry--I know all you Obama haters are rallying the base with cries of Benghazi and hoping that you'll see Obama impeached, but it is not going to happen. If the House crazies try to impeach Obama, they will experience what Gingrich experienced after trying to impeach Clinton. Go ahead and go to your local grocery store or coffee shop. Ask people what they think about Benghazi and you will get blank stares. The US of A that you speak about is long gone. It was a place where people supported the president because he is the President. The RWNJs have been against Obama since Day One of his admin. That's when the US of A became the US of Tea Party wingnuts. And yes, Nixon should be vilified. He presided over all kinds of real criminal activities. His admin personnel went to jail. The world is more complicated these days and I guaranty you that the country will not support impeaching Obama. Like I said--cry wolf and nobody takes you seriously. Just ask the birthers.
Are you really trying to compare the break-in at a campaign office with Obama's level of corruption? Do I really need to point out that no one died as a result of anything Nixon did. Obama has years of blood on his hands, as well as corruption.
Repeated LIES to the American public by Obama, Clinton and others in the administration, blaming the Benghazi attacks on some insane story about people being upset about an old Youtube video. I think they assume the entire American public is as gullible as Obama voters.
Fast and furious-Americans and Mexicans died as a result of his illegal funneling of guns to Mexican drug cartels.
Benghazi-4 Americans dead due to the incompetence of this administration, with no efforts made to save them. Worse, the men that begged to go to the rescue were ordered not to by this corrupt administration.
Using the IRS, EPA and BLM to attack political opponents.
Illegally seizing phone records from a broadcast organization.
Spying on American citizens w/o a warrant, and the dramatic expansion of such actions since taking office.
Shall I go on? Nixon was a boy scout in comparison.
