@bobsal u1553115,

That has already been shown not to be a contributing factor. But you don't want to focus on Benghazi. That is why you post crap like that.

And I hope you notice that the Republican is not lying. Obama is.

@coldjoint,

How about, "So what?" 14 Congressional Investigations, 40ish Congressional briefings, 250,000 page report, 10 or more news agencies all over it, hundreds of news paper articles, hours of yammering on the networks especially Fox, and the very best you can do is say Rice was told to announce the video as a cause for the incident immediately after the incident before before there had been opportunity to lock all the facts up. Hell, Bush had two bombings in Bagdad with three or four time the amount of dead in Benghazi.

You guys cut the security budget to State and the blood in on YOUR hands, bub, not the President's.

Why do you keep bringing this up like it is important? Does the State Dept not know how to prioritize their spending? If the spending increase is cut, that does not equal to cutting the funding. Where did they find $70 million for a PR campaign to blame the video for the violence?

Let's see less money changed the fact that 9/11 is a day of celebration for Islamists. That any attack on that day will inspire Islamic youth.

Did less money change the fact that known jihadists were operating in Lybia?
The State Dept. has desecration on what and where their money goes. They underfunded the Embassy not the Republicans.

Funny boy. Truth and facts are Kryptonite on you. What you don't know is that the secret plan all along was to sucker the GOP, Teapublicans and Teabillies into double down on Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi and they did. Hope you like ****-sandwiches ala Benghazi. Who do you think the next GOP candidate is going to be? Some moron traitor murdering Congressman or Senator, that's who. How many times do you think he'll have to answer this question: So, how'd you vote on the budget for security for the State Dept?"

Your next President is going to be Elizabeth Warren.

The emails also say that Rice was told to blame the Benghazi attack on a video. I really don't care what else they say, and either does Congress.

It says no such thing as anyone that reads the emails can also see. Why do you insist on lying when I can simply have people read the source material to find out you are lying.

I see you haven't bother to admit your earlier statement was a lie. You simply shifted to another topic while pretending you never said something. Really, Pinkie, you should be more careful about your lies.

So, what have you done about this?

@Baldimo,

Why do you think we should post more security at a mission that is hardly staffed. Stevens just happened to be in Benghazi that day. It's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback but Benghazi was hardly the only mission staffed. The actual embassies in Egypt, Tunisia and Sudan were under protest and likely targets as well. If those had been attacked and we were guarding Benghazi you would be whining about why we bothered to guard Benghazi.

Of for F... Sake. You don't understand the first thing about budgeting in the US. Read the F.. bills passed by Congress before you claim the State Department can just move money around.

Did they blame the attacks on a video? Were any of these sustained attacks by armed terrorists? Did they blame the attacks on a lack of funding?

If you give me some info on these attacks I can give you my opinion.

@parados,

Do the bills say how the State Dept is allowed to spend their budget? If they had the money for some pointless PR campaign, then they had the money for proper security where it was needed. How many guards do they have in France or the UK?

@Baldimo,

Baldimo, Where did you learn your kind of ignorance? Attacks don't happen based on funding. It's based on extremism, hate, and politics.

When Al Qaida attacked the twin towers in NYC, we had sufficient funding. GW Bush ignored the warnings.

The GOP cut consular security funding; they now cry that the Benghazi consulate was attacked, and that this administration is hiding something. TNCFS

Most terrorist attacks don't have warnings, and our military was too far to respond in a moments notice to Benghazi.

THOSE ARE THE SIMPLE FACTS THAT THE GOP seems to ignore.

Oh, you are just talking out of your ass without knowing what they can or can't do?
Perhaps you should read the legislation and see for yourself.

@parados,

So the State dept doesn't have control over it's own budget? Why can't you say yes or no?

@Baldimo,

Once the congress and president approves the budget, the state department can allocate the money as it's been approved.

@cicerone imposter,

Civics 101 CI, what does a majority mean? I'm still waiting on a response from the last question.

So in a budget of $1.3 billion dollars, you guys want to pick on a missing $190 million? That was the cause for the loss of life in Benghazi? Why didn't they pull funding from some other cushy location and give the funding to a place where it was needed. Once again, how many guards are needed in the UK or France for the State dept security?
