I suggest you go back and listen to your video. The vote to cut funding never made it through the Senate.
Bulloney, it made it through the Senate, with just a slight rise in Embassy security money from what the House requested but STILL 270 BILLION DOLLARS shy of what the President said he needed in his budget.
The facts:
According to Democratic House Oversight Committee staff, the amount that the GOP-led House passed for two accounts that pay for embassy security in fiscal 2012 ($2.311 billion) was $330 million less than the Obama administration had requested ($2.641 billion).
A GOP House Appropriations Committee aide confirmed the House bill had less in these accounts than what the administration requested.
However, the final bill, after being worked on by the Democratic-led Senate, put in more money than what had passed in the House. The final bill, which passed with bipartisan support, gave a total of $2.37 billion to these accounts for fiscal 2012 -- about $270 million less than what the administration had requested.
Conclusion: The GOP-led House did initially approve about $330 million less than what the administration requested, but in the final bill, passed with bipartisan support after adjustments by the Senate, put the amount a little closer to the administration's target, (with being $270 million less than what the administration requested).

But C4A, we KNOW that the men there CALLED for HELP, and one of them even LITE UP a mortar site for the HOPED FOR Air Force bombing....that never came!.... WHY was that request denied?
Because Obama and Hillary were more concerned about the upcoming election and covering their ass on their incompetence.
Conspiracy theory?
No, just trying to shift the blame from themselves to a video that no one ever saw.
