The John Kerry(he was appointed by President Obama and confirmed by the Democrat dominated Senate) led State Department has spend $1 million of our hard earned and confiscated dollars to put a pile of rocks outside the U.S. embassy in London.

The Obama administration couldn't find either the money or the inclination to send extra security to the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya despite the requests from Ambassador Chris Stevens, who died in the terrorist attack (which President Obama covered up by initially calling it a protest against a video) in September 2012.

The administration needs to quit wasting our cash and get its priorities straight.

Sure, it is quite a nice rock.

However, the question is, is it worth $1 million?

Also, how come that sum couldn't be spent to defend the lives of 4 Americans?

That Benghazi crap has already been debunked, repeatedly.

Quit refusing to accept simple reality.

You are calling the murder of 4 Americans due to the bumbling and incompetence of this administration "Benghazi crap"? What if it has been Mrs. Obama or their kids, or Chelsa Clinton that had been murdered? Would it "make a difference" then?

Does Obama even have an alibi for when the attacks took place? How do we know he didn't take part?

The irony is I wonder how many millions of government waste has gone into this whole Benghazi witch hunt. Probably a lot more than what they wasted on that bloody statue.

Love your politics down there! It's a riot.

Instead of your pathetic whining about Obama why not ask the Congress that cut the budget for embassy security? Too much like actually seeking the truth for ya?

Obama certainly makes mistakes, but the deaths of the four Americans was due to the Republicans in congress:

Quote:
In the 2011 continuing resolution, Congress, at the insistence of the House of Representatives, slashed the president’s request for embassy security and construction and forced another cut in fiscal year 2012. Altogether Congress has eliminated $296 million from embassy security and construction in the last two years with additional cuts in other State Department security accounts.
You are certainly entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts.

Did you bother to read your OWN link?

"accept simple reality" 3 of the 4 items say UNDETERMINED. That doesn't look much like debunked to me.

Maybe you should head your own advise!

That snopes page hardly addresses all of the issues surrounding the event... even reading the Wikipedia page on it would be more helpful.
