So if I'm keeping score right, we now have two major scandals coming out of Benghazi, plus a minor one.
1.) Despite continuous and escalating attacks through the spring and summer of 2012, the Obama admin kept REDUCING the security at the compound, replacing American guards and troops with Libyan personnel (usually unarmed), and ignoring repeated pleas from Ambassador Stevens to build it up. When the attacks of Sept. 11, 2012 came, the terrorists found the place a pushover, and had no trouble breaking in and burning most of it down, killing four Americans. These reduction went on as Barack Obama was running for re-election and crowing that Al Qaeda was "decimated", "on the run", and basically defeated, to make him look like an effective commander-in chief even as Al Qaeda was preparing a killing blow against us. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/30/wo...anted=all&_r=0
2.) Recently we are hearing that the CIA was hard at work that summer in a nearby Annex building, collecting various weapons (including missiles) that had been used against ex-dictator Khaddafi, and sending them to the Al Qaeda affiliates in Syria for use against the Bashir Assad regime there. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-attacked.html
The minor scandal was blaming the attacks on a video - one of the clumsier PR moves by the Obama administration - and sticking to the lie for weeks even while everyone involved knew it was actually a long-planned terrorist attack, not a spontaneous protest by film critics. While a good indicator of the Obama administration's arrogance and contempt for their constitutents, this scandal is small change compared to the real problems described above.
Which major scandal was worse?

Jimmy Hoffa was found alive at Benghazi, transported there by secret technology the U.S. Air Force stole from a captured alien UFO. It's no surprise that on the day of the attack, chem-trails on the East Coast quadrupled in an effort to subdue the U.S. population from the shocking events.

That takes care of the hysterical-liberal non-view diversion.
Back to the subject:
Will it eve be pointed out in the media, that each of these major scandals by itself, was far worse than the Iran-Contra affair where the Reagan administration traded arms for hostages. At least we freed some Americans in that one.
Remind me what we got out of the Benghazi drawdown and resulting attacks, besides some campaign photo-ops before the blood started to flow?

Can you disprove any of the things I said? Until you can, I assert they are true and correct.
-Jimmy Hoffa alive
- Alien Technology
- Chemtrails.
I find it extremely difficult to believe conservatives even care about a measly four people who died in one incident. What was it I kept hearing about the people who died during Hurricane Katrina.....oh yes, "It's their fault, why didn't they just leave?"
Apparently nobody outside the consulate in Benghazi, even knew about the CIA compound nearby. But they cleaned it up in a big hurry after the attacks, and moved several Libyan families into the deserted compound, less than a week after the attacks.
An article published two months after the Sept. 2012 attacks described:
At the consulate, gawkers and looters still could enter the property, and no repairs had been made to the burned-out buildings. Two months after he died here of smoke inhalation, Ambassador Christopher Stevens' clothes still hung in the closet; his ties were strewn on the floor. In the building that served as an office and operations center, State Department stationery littered the floor and lettered Post-it notes left by the FBI on the day agents came here to investigate were stuck throughout the compound buildings.
But at the CIA safe house, American officials cleared their property within days of the attack. By Sept. 14, three new families had moved into the four houses that make up the compound, according to a gatekeeper at the door. Nearby residents said the landlord wanted Libyans living there as soon as possible, so his property wouldn't be destroyed by extremists angry that the CIA had been stationed there.
At the annex, which looks like any other upscale residential compound in Benghazi, the gatekeeper clearly was used to reporters coming by. He opened the gate only slightly and refused to engage in the kind of friendly talk that's common in the city. He said no one was allowed inside and that there'd been no damage from the attack, something difficult to believe if mortar rounds were what killed Woods and Doherty, who reportedly were on the roof when it was struck by mortar fire.
