But the Republicans have never cared about that. They don't care why it happened. They don't actually care that people died. They only care that it makes Clinton look bad. It's been nothing more than a political witch hunt to try to take down what they see as their number one threat in 2016.
This is true in part. She does need exposed as incompetent so the only thing one can question is the motive. Either way it should be done. Are many of those on the right as dangerous? Yes they are.

It was inspired by us helping to overturn their government and then running guns out of the embassy. The CIA knew this right from the start. They were being warned all along.

No one actually thought it was about a youtube movie. The most incredible part is that someone would actually come up with that for an excuse and expect people to believe it. That's how little they think of you.

They knew that people like yourself would defend any lie though so it really didn't matter.
And yet there were protests in Cairo at the US Embassy called for on 9/11. Its not such a leap that the Benghazi attack would be associated with those events. On 9/12 and for about a week after there were additional attacks and protests connected to the video.

There is no way you knew for sure what the motivation of the attackers were, you were just guessing.

Prove it. Just more guessing on your part.

Imagine that, there were protests on 9-11. I knew 100% for sure it was not about a Youtube video. Granted I did not know we were running guns out of the embassy at the time.

It is coming out......Hillary wanted Gaddafi dead, mystery for the reason is still out there. Wonder who she thought would take Gaddafi's place and why the need to get rid of him???

I find it strange this administration can have the US at war in Syria and Egypt, while keeping it quite, and telling us they're winding down in Iraq. When in reality the land is being taken back by Saddam's men.

Oops, too late. So many of them out already.
What's more strange is it doesn't seem their supporters mind their faults.

Just a couple of them are not fighting to get rid of the terrorist or their view on open borders.

No, you didn't know anything. You assumed. The riot in Egypt on that very same say was about the movie, so I am not surprised a lot of people, even CIA, initially thought the Libya attack was also about the movie.

And yet......I was right. Only an imbecile would have believed it was about a Youtube video.

What you thought or didnt think back then remains unproven.

What did you think the Egypt riots were about? Surely nothing to do with the video....

There had been riots in Egypt for well over a year by then.
