And they knew there was NO Security. It was the ex seals that blew the whole thing. They were not expected to go help...And stand on the roof for hours waiting for back up that never came. Without those Hero's the death toll would have included most of the 30 survivors.It was planned. It was planned to coincide with 9/11 and thats just what it did.
Not really.And they were so well-armed, which means someone with deep pockets was backing them.
We keep focusing on the wrong area. It doesn't matter if it was Al Qaeda or not Al Qaeda. It doesn't matter if it was planned or unplanned. What matters is that extra security was requested days before because it was a hot area and the anniversary of 9/11 was coming up. The state department admitted it denied extra security. What matters is who denied it and why. And don't say it would have bankrupted the treasury to send a platoon or even a squad of Marines who would have stopped that attack before it got started and 4 Americans would be alive today. Someone is guilty of dereliction of duty.
The Ambassador was killed in the first attack, which lasted less than ten minutes.
As there were mobs running wild all over the Middle East over the video at that time, how many other missions were requesting extra protection?
You have no idea, do you.
The Benghazi consulate wasn't even our main diplomatic mission in Libya. The embassy in Tripoli is. The consulate was a CIA outpost, not a real diplomatic one.
Stop exploiting the deaths of Americans for political purposes.
It was a tragedy, and it sucks that Americans died. But there was a lot going on all over the Middle East at the same time. Danger comes with the job, and the Foreign Service knows that.
There were ten attacks on our diplomatic missions on Bush's watch and not one of you rubes know what Bush was doing before, during, or after any one of them. You don't know a single fact about any of them. You don't even know how many Americans were killed. Because you never gave a shit.
This is a political witch hunt, not a seeking of truth. And a mountain of manufactured bullshit, and selective investigation, surrounding it betrays this fact.
I will wager that Bush wasn't sending his people out to LIE on 5 TV shows about ANY of the attacks.

Did you miss the pre-Iraq invasion of Bush representatives (Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz) to all the talk shows explaining why Iraq was such a threat? "The smoking gun will be a mushroom cloud"
CNN.com - TranscriptsThe problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.
Apparently your pride in being a decent human being somewhere along the line,
but specifically, you lost the argument on Benghazi.
People like me were right all along; there is no need to re-litigate this issue just because you 'nuts on the right can never admit when you were wrong.
Don't ever expect a reasoned, cogent answer from Deany-Bub...you'll be old and grey and still be waiting.According to the NYT, it was both.
It cannot be both. The NY Times also claimed there were no terrorist ties after stating for over a year there were terrorist ties. So which is it?
And rdean...this is a poll. I want your answer...not a rag like the NY Times.
The poll above says different. And I'm a very good human being.
I have laughed for two days reading all the convoluted explanations for Benghazi. Most on the left seem to say it was a spontaneous attack based on a video while at the same time saying "it was an act of terror."
Well folks...if it was an act of terror it was by definition a planned and coordinated terror attack. So which is it? Video and spontaneous uprising, or a planned terrorist attack?
It is time to take a stand. Which is it? And btw...an Obama all the above weasel answer does not cut it. Either it was planned and coordinated or it was not. So which is it?
The poll above says different. And I'm a very good human being.
The results of a poll on a message board with a large right-wing membership are going to be skewed to the right wing response and have no bearing on facts associated with the event whatsoever. It's simply the opinion of posters, none of whom were there and none of whom have access to any of the participants or the documents relating to the attack.
To suggest that the poll gets at the truth of the event is beyond laughable.
The poll is a false dichotomy. This entire topic is based on a false premise.
According to the rest of the world, the NYT's is whitewashing the event in order to help Hillary in 2016.According to the NYT, it was both.
Except for Chicago on a Thursday night.......As a rule angry mobs don't spontaneously show up with automatic weapons, rocket propelled grenades, and motors. So I go with planned attack.

I go with a planned attack that was in part due to the video.
OMG! A third possibility that was completely ignored by the OP and its poll! Alert the media!
Oh, wait. No need to alert the media. That's exactly what the NYT is saying. The attack was planned and due in part to the video. And it was not Al Qaeda.
Well, it looks like we're finally done here.
