You think the accusations about Benghazi are about lack of security funding ?
Oh geeze..you really are lost aren't you ?

It was determined a long time ago there was no coverup. But, we all know that isn't what this hearing is about anyway.

I hope they hang him at high noon in the public square. He is wasting the oxygen of good Americans. The sooner he is under the turf the better for us .. Love him while you can, if you refuse to see the truth...
Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Donn.

And Romney is going to win.

Personally, I hope they arrest you and lock you up forever for your treasonous statement.

Besides, I never heard Obama say, "Mission Accomplished!"

In Obama's campaign speeches President Obama kept at it, saying that "al Qaeda is on its heels and Osama bin Laden is no more." The second half of the sentence is true. But the more we learn about what happened in Benghazi, the more the first sounds like fantasy, and the less Americans can trust this White House to tell them the truth.

This is about lying, not funding.

Going on and on about funding or lack of is nothing but deflection.

Is this the excuse of the GOP?

Even as the White House strove last week to move beyond questions about the Benghazi attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2012, fresh evidence emerged that senior Obama administration officials knowingly misled the country about what had happened in the days following the assaults.

The Weekly Standard has obtained a timeline briefed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence detailing the heavy substantive revisions made to the CIA’s talking points, just six weeks before the 2012 presidential election, and additional information about why the changes were made and by whom.

The Benghazi Talking Points | The Weekly Standard
What I find interesting about the "Benghazi Talking Points" as published in the Weekly Standard is how closely Susan Rice's comments on the 9/16/12 Sunday talk shows align with the original version 1 pre-edited CIA talking points.

From the CIA version 1:

-Spontaneous, inspired by the Cairo protests [which btw were at least in part inspired by the video].
-Mix crowd from many sectors of Libyan society.
-Islamic extremists in crowd with ties to Al-Qaeda in the crowd.
-Availability of heavy weapons in Libya contributed to the attack.

Susan Rice's comments:
Flashback: What Susan Rice Said About Benghazi - Washington Wire - WSJ

Susan Rice on "Face the Nation."
But based on the best information we have to date, what our assessment is as of the present is in fact what began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy– –sparked by this hateful video. But soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that– in that effort with heavy weapons of the sort that are, unfortunately, readily now available in Libya post-revolution. And that it spun from there into something much, much more violent.

Have you noticed how Obama is staying silent? This is because he's smart. One thing Obama has done quite well over the years is provided conservatives rope, and why not? The GOP has been more than willing to hang themselves with it over and over again.

Washington Times, Jennifer Rubin from the Post, Sean Hannity and Rush do not a controversy make. They do, however detract from the investigation for when they open their mouths or write, more than half the country sits there and shakes their head.

And believe me, Obama knows this.

Should Obama have paid for increased security at the Benghazi consulate himself?

I am guessing the GOP led witch hunt will come to an abrupt end when it ends with themselves to blame.
