And people keep clamoring for full disclosure!

How dumb can we get. Even if the government claimed they were making a clean breast of it...would you believe them? Sheesh - Spook time boys and girls. Maybe we will know what actually happened in 40 years...but I doubt it.
Great post

the whole thing is political and the sheeple directed by faux and fiends are just pushing a useless chart

And none of the above fits the admin narrative.

The guest threw the question to 'how many contractors', completely ignoring that an ambassador was murdered on the Obama/Hilary watch.

Again, doesn't fit the Admin narrative.

Face it folks. Elections have consequences and nothing is going to come of this until at least some time after 2016, depending on Rahm Emanuel's preferences.

No. The U.S. consulate is not sovereign American soil.
Furthermore, consulates remain under the jurisdiction of the host country with regard to security, etc.
It was not an act of war.

(We needed Ironman to intervene to prevent the tragedy due to the incompetence (or worse) of the administration.)

Obama wanted no calls for war prior to the election and remains opposed after.
Oh Jesus and Mary, not he conspiracy nuts again...

It was not sovereign US territory. It was a leased compound obviously being used primarily as a CIA base. It was the sovereign territory of Libya.

Has no one noticed that all those who escaped were CIA? You think the consulate was running with no state department employees?

Face it. The place was a CIA operation and the consulate provided coverage of that clandestine operation. The Ambassador was there to hold a few meeting escaping the expected demonstrations in Tripoli. So far it sounds like his death was more bad luck than bad will.
This.

The incompetence is more than sufficient. Any conspiracy would be in the "or worse" category I put in parentheses. The administration's handling of the middle east countries and conflicts has been abysmal.
