He mentions the video 6 times during his speech.
Seems that an attack which killed four Americans and destroyed our US consulate slipped Obama's mind, so he just lumped all the attacks under the hateful, disgusting video, by that "shady character."

snap.


you can bet that his sorry butt would have never been anywhere near danger, while he waxes on about death.

it has been disgraceful the way the Benghazi deaths have been "minimized". If Obama's kids were over there, you can bet he would have taken the calls, and you can bet Hillary would have got her butt in action also. (and same for every other politician's kids)

normal life spans are also a "part of life".

Well he went on to bash Iran and Syria and tell the UN how bad they were to their people.

I believe he said that was the number for Stevens' attache'. I presume he was calling to report he attack as well. I'm stumped as to why he wasn't there and Stevens answered that phone.

Maybe he had already been injured.

After what happened in Egypt, a few hours earlier, you can bet your ass Stevens would have been on the horn if even a small protest group started to form outside of the consulate.

If I recall Eleanor Norton made it a point to mention it twice directing it to Thompson that he refused to meet with the democrats. I could be wrong, so don't hold me to it!!!! If I'm correct, why didn't she ask him why he refused. Oh, wait, she used up all her time stumbling through reading her notes.

Wow..to think people actually think this way.
That's the liberal way of thinking, especially when they feel they're cornered. Deflect! Deflect!

In hindsight - everyone would have done it differently, if nothing else to make sure that proper security was provided in general, and those who were listening to the chatter days before the attack had acted on what they heard.

With protests already happening around the ME, you'd think the DoD would have had prepped some jets to take off "just in case".
