@gungasnake,
This is the same guy who wanted to have a hearing to look into the "cooked books" and also the guy who exposed the CIA during his live televised hearing and then shut it down once he realized it. He is partisan.
Chaffetz has already admitted they denied funding for the embasies and why.
Quote:On Wednesday morning, CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien asked the Utah Republican if he had "voted to cut the funding for embassy security."
"Absolutely," Chaffetz said. "Look we have to make priorities and choices in this country. We have…15,000 contractors in Iraq. We have more than 6,000 contractors, a private army there, for President Obama, in Baghdad. And we’re talking about can we get two dozen or so people into Libya to help protect our forces. When you’re in tough economic times, you have to make difficult choices. You have to prioritize things.”
For the past two years, House Republicans have continued to deprioritize the security forces protecting State Department personnel around the world. In fiscal year 2011, lawmakers shaved $128 million off of the administration's request for embassy security funding. House Republicans drained off even more funds in fiscal year 2012 -- cutting back on the department's request by $331 million.

Why would they request funding if they were not going to use it to show they didn't need it? The whole charge makes no sense.
