^^^^And according to mr graham, we should still be in Iraq? @5:45......sounds like BS since Bush took us out of Iraq with his exit time-table
^^ Iraq is not so much Obama's responsibility while Afghanistan is, IMHO. That is since Obama escalated the Afgan war...... Bush was a warmonger who got us in this position in the first place........Now's Bush lives in a rich neighborhood in my home of dallas.....at least you peeps don't live down th street from Dubya Bush! One day, Obama will live like a rich cat, too....He'll have his own library!!
The request for more security was for the embassy in Tripoli not the consulate. The group responsible is anti western and attacked the Italian embassy in 2006 for a similar perceived "insult" to Islam.each new detail that comes out makes the situation look a little bit worse. Great Britain had recently pulled out because of the threats and we were the last flag standing. All other embassies had closed because of the dangerous situation and we had no security there. This needs to be explained better than the GOP cut funding. The French embassy has an entire platoon of marines.
The state department was watching video in real time. They saw when our Ambassador walked out a guest an hour before the attack and there were no protests. Why they insisted on saying there was very strong evidence this was about a video released in June causing a mass riot. The anniversary of 9/11 was just a coincidence. I've read that the CIA was able to identify the faction of Al Qaeda that was involved and what village they come from. If Obama can go covert on their ass and drone bomb the killers he'll score major political points. I don't know if it would be enough to overcome all of the negative about this bump in the road.
This whole faux outrage by republicans is political non-sense. I'm sure next they're say the attackers in Libya are linked to whitewater since Clinton is secretary of state."No one is ruling out the idea that some of the attackers may have aspired to attack the U.S. in Benghazi. However, right now, there isnt any intelligence that the attackers pre-planned their assault days or weeks in advance. The bulk of available information supports the early assessment that the attackers launched their assault opportunistically after they learned about the violence at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. Of course, other factors may also have motivated participation in the attack."

^^^ No, I'm saying the Iraq war was Bush's war and even tho the Afghan war was started by Bush, it has become Obama's war
If you read the article it actually supports the presidents position.Are you that partisan or just can't come to the realization that our president tried to pull the wool over our eyes? The BS excuse that it's a Fox news exclusive only shows your blindness, it's been covered by every major news source on the planet, yet you try to defend this disgusting act of politics over country the same way the president is. It's beyond shameful IMO

distractions from fact
"The intelligence community on Friday once again modified its assessment of what caused the deadly terror attack last month on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya – returning in part to claims that the violence was in reaction to a protest at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo over an anti-Islam film.If you read the article it actually supports the presidents position.
