I'm expecting Fox News' next "bombshell" on Benghazi to be another video of President Obama talking to black people at this point.
If you had actually worked with him and came here to post of his management skills - that's one thing. To read one article and become convinced that he was a bad manager and that was the reason for his demotion is ridiculous. We are to believe your article when all you've done is to bash people for their links to articles because to you they are lies.

In an email dated 9/14/12 at 9:34 p.m. — three days after the attack and two days before Ambassador Rice appeared on the Sunday shows – Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes wrote an email saying the State Department’s concerns needed to be addressed.

“We must make sure that the talking points reflect all agency equities, including those of the State Department, and we don’t want to undermine the FBI investigation. We thus will work through the talking points tomorrow morning at the Deputies Committee meeting.”

After that meeting, which took place Saturday morning at the White House, the CIA drafted the final version of the talking points – deleting all references to al Qaeda and to the security warnings in Benghazi prior to the attack.

Yeah, the WH had nothing to do with the revisions (and no input???).

The Republicans are the ones insinuating something more insidious happened at Benghazi. The burden is on them to come up with some hard evidence. Vague assertions and innuendos coupled with histrionics do not count.
The talking points were not introduced at previous hearings. I guess you don't understand what the issues are at hand in the most recent hearing. The focus is not on Benghazi per se.

The difference between the Dem and Repub info consumer, is the Dem variety relies more on verifiable facts and the Repub variety relies more on supposition ... hence the divide.

As an afterthought, I hope y'all have removed all traces of anything on CD that could lead back to who you are.

Ya never know when the IRS aka Administration Enforcement Arm will come "looking".

I neglected to give y'all the link so you can report this obviously concerted effort to get the administration and find out the real FACTS as believed by Bob and others.

Basically, nothing at all pointing to Obama, or Clinton, or anything at all apart from the usual back-and-forth among career workers in any large organization.

So basically, a big yawner that is being wildly overhyped.
"Since April there have been at least five other attacks against foreign interests in Benghazi"
Is that the statement you are choosing to ignore and rewrite? Nuland is Clinton's right arm.

That was the choice the Administration made in Benghazi.
That is a big deal.
Not a contrived big deal but the real deal big deal.

That seems to be OK with many though.
It's easy, we are dealing with a president whose mindset is to leave the baby born alive to die in a linen closet, because the mother decided she wanted a late term abortion.

Like the mother above, the 0bama admin decided that those men were as good as dead, and help could not get there in time, so they just left them to die. Even when the Americans in Benghazi were still fighting for their lives hours past the time help could have arrived, help was not sent because it was decided at the start they were beyond rescue.
