Those people do not count in jt's mind. Neither do 3000 Americans on our own soil. Ambassadors on the other hand matter the most.

If you're getting paid to post, you have to keep saying the same things over and over.

They are so narrow minded and that little narrow strip of brain is Fox territory.

It's a sick kind of irony, that in order to foment faux outrage over Obama's so called lies, the right created a false narrative of their own that as we speak is unraveling in front of them.
So, in order to craft their false narrative:
Are they in denial that there have been numerous violent protests throughout the Middle East over the video?
Should Obama have ignored these violent protests and not addressed the video, despite the fact that it has been a major factor in violence throughout the ME?
Is there a single quote that attributes this horrific act to the video alone? Or are they ignoring the numerous statements from the POTUS and his administration stating that the matter was under investigation and they don't want to make any definitive statements until all of the facts are in?
Also, are they ignoring the fact that there are probably still numerous US assets in the area that are still in danger and would be further endangered if all of the information they're crying for is released? Are they in favor of endangering more Americans to further their political agenda? Should other operations potentially be compromised to satisfy their demands?
Do they really think Obama laughed and had a bowl of popcorn while Ambassador Stevens was murdered? Help was mobilized almost immediately, but was hindered by logistics (Probably to do with permissions to launch a military operation outside of US soil, and failure to coordinate assets without compromising other operations, and those are just the most obvious scenarios...)
Did the fact that he didn't call it a "terrorist attack" soon enough for them make the Ambassador any less dead? The attack any less reprehensible?
Also, since when is the POTUS in charge of staffing embassy security?
Obama lied, people died, is a lie. Congratulations conservatives on becoming the very thing that you claim to hate.

You keep repeating things that don't face up to the historical facts.

Did ANY of those people beg Washington for increased security before these attacks?

Who said the terrorist attack was the spontaneous result of a protest over a FILM?
