No, you just made a bad connection of two things that were not related, sorry, but that is your error.

Basically what you are saying is that if there was a video big enough to cause a protest during the actual 9/11, that admin would have used it to lie to the American people, just like this admin did....

It was a cluster funge.

I don't view the embassy employees more important than all the lives that have been lost because the US historically chose to put their troops in harms way because we have not been able to resist the opportunity to put our noses where they don't belong.
1) Unfortunately, the ambassador himself contributed significantly to the tragic events. He was one of those liberals whose ideology overshadowed rational thinking and reality.
2) You don't seem to understand much in foreign affairs and while your logic may work in your kitchen, countries are managed differently. In the moment the US established a foreign representation, (anywhere on the globe) it will be protected at all cost. Not only for the lives of the diplomats, but for what it represents. That's why before any embassy is opened, much consideration goes into it. I may be wrong, but the Benghazi post was probably opened more out of liberal desire than logic.
3) That said, republicans always employ the wrong tactics when attacking the other party and never let go of those failed tactics: Its always about a word, a phrase or procedure and rarely about substance. They do so with Obamacre, attacking the website, this figure or another and they don't understand that people (who don't share their mindset) don't care for that. They did the same with Clinton's impeachment. They do it in pro gun debates, without understanding that Americans (and the entire world) are shocked and concerned more about shootouts and random massacres of children and innocent people than they are about wording.

Don't know, maybe this fictional 9/11 movie would have been the reasoning for the hijacker attack. But then again, Bush did use 9/11 to promote a lie that involved invading Iraq, so that is similar in that sense.

I'm sorry, WHAT are you blabbing on about? The "Benghazi was an upset mob made about a video" was the official story from the White House THAT HAS NEVER BEEN RECANTED. Why you'd lie about this, I have no idea. Obama HAS NEVER SAID it was an organized armed assault by some Al Qaeda friendly thugs. He HAS NEVER EVER CORRECTED THE LIE. Just because some vague reference to 'terrorism' is spoken in a speech, DOES NOT CORRECT THE LIE. You know that, I know that, and now you're just blatantly making up nonsense.

You guys really need to make up your mind what it is that you are upset about and stick to it. But we all know this is about a scandal that doesn't exist, but your right wing media machine manages to keep it alive cause you guys keep tuning in.
Of course it exists... Obama lied about (and has never recounted) the cause, the aftermath, has tried everything including threats and intimidation to keep EVERY witness from ever being deposed by Congress, and has threatened everyone who was involved to keep silent and never tell what happened. This isn't a scandal, this is blatant and wanton coverup of malfeasance and perjury, to boot. What's amazing is that YOU DO NOT CARE. Your partisan interests supercede ALL other interests, apparently.

Even Bush called 9/11 an act of terror the day after. I am pretty sure everyone knew he meant it was a terrorist attack.
I'm sorry, Bush didn't make up a story about some pilots being disturbed by a youtube video so they took it out on some buildings and a field and then keep it as the official story of what happened.

You don't even know what truth IS, much less want to know what is true. To you, it's just whatever lie you can make up on the spot.

Yep, due to the lies that the Bush Administration created to justify going to war. Had they not lied, we would have never invaded Iraq.
