OH STOP! In the weeks leading up to the FINAL Benghazi attack, the compound had been attacked TWICE before, the 2nd time leaving a 3-foot hole in the compound wall...and in that time the State Department reduced the number of US Security Personnel there...despite the KNOWN THREATS we now know they knew about. One of those threats was an Al Qaeida call for the murder of Stevens on 9/11/12 in retaliation for the killing of an Al Qaeida leader FROM Benghazi several weeks earlier in a drone strike.
This reduction in security also came days after the AL QAEIDA-ASSOCIATED MILITIA THEY HAD HIRED TO PROTECT STEVENS reportedly quit, saying they could no longer protect him (which they completely FAILED to do anyway during the 2 previous attacks mentioned above - they showed up an hour after the attacks). The REASON was because of the Al Qaeida leader's call for Stevens' death on 9/11/12! NO EFFORT was made to increase security after this...in FACT, as mentioned above, they DECREASED his security detail further by reducing the number of US security members as well.
ALSO, are you telling me the administration that added over $6 TRILLION in the 1st 4 years of Obama's term - the President who signed a Stimulus bill that cost almost a TRILLION DOLLARS and contained over 7,000 pieces of DNC-Only Pork - was suddenly SO worried about the deficit and budget that they were willing to DECREASE the number of US Security Personnel assigned to protect a US Ambassador who had already been attacked TWICE before, when they KNEW Al Qaeida had called for his assassination on 9/11/12, and when they already KNEW that Al Qaeida had called for a Middle East-Wide attack on US Embassies for 9/11/12?! REALLY? If there wasn't enough money in the budget for more security, where was Obama's pen and telephone when he knew Steven's life was in jeopardy? Stevens himself wrote the State Dept and warned that if a 3rd attack occurred and he did not have more security HE WOULD DIE!
-- 20 US Embassies were simultaneously attacked on 9/11/12, 4 overrun, and 4 Americans were killed. Obama/Hillary initially said the Benghazi attack was the result of a protest over a VIDEO...but nothing was ever mentioned about the other 19 simultaneous terrorist attacks on US Embassies throughout the Middle East on that day...WERE THEY PROTESTS OVER A VIDEO, TOO? WHY is it that other nations / people were aware that this Middle East-wide attack had been called for on 9/11/12...why - if it the case - was Obama and the State Department so UNAWARE of it? Were they really THAT incompetent / in the dark?
And if the budget was so tight that they could not afford to adequately provide security for and defend the Ambassador, WHY DIDN'T THEY SIMPLY FLY HIM OUT OF BENGHAZI BEFORE 9/11/12? They could have taken him out of harm's way after the 1st two attacks on his compound. If they KNEW - which it is proven that they DID know - an attack was called for on 9/11/12, why not take him out of Benghazi - be anywhere else but there - 0n 9/11/12, instead having him at a much safer location..at least for that day? THEY DID NOT DO SO.
-- LET ME GUESS, NO ONE IN THE Obama ADMINISTRATION HAD ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE COST OF A PLANE TICKET TO FLY THE AMBASSADOR TO SAFETY, while Obama and his family had been flying around taking multiple million+ dollar vacations?! Obama and his family could afford to take 4+ multi-million dollar vacations that year, but neither he nor Hillary could afford to hire a few extra security guards or a plane ticket to fly Stevens out of Benghazi before he was murdered?!
No, once again we see Liberals trying to 'pass the buck' and blame anyone else for THEIR failures!
