    That's not what the bipartisan senate committee investigation said. They said the video probably had something to do with the attack. :smile:

    And you may go on figuring without having anything substantial to figure on, other than ranting about things you have no knowledge of and revealing your own hate of Obama in this discussion. Other than that, have a nice day with figuring. I suspect after 16 months of figuring, you will continue figuring. :smile:

    We just got over two illegal wars and hundreds of thousands of murdered people.

    And the right wingers have a problem with four dead people killed in an inherently dangerous part of the world

    Get a grip. Get some perspective.

    Nobody cares about Benghazi. That's just the way it is.

    Most of the debt is directly traceable to GOP policies...

    If there was enough to go on that you say you have, believe me, you would have highlighted your post in gold glitter. Too bad all that figuring you've been doing has left you kind of short of gold glitter.

    No, most of the *deficit* is if you use shoddy left wing think tank mathematics.

    Democrats, like the president, have NO trouble letting Benghazi go.

    Our men were in Libya, doing who knows what, yet obviously on official business, funded by us, on our behalf, and were attacked and killed by terrorists, and as soon as Obama found out, he waited all of four seconds to let it go. As the sun was rising he was off on a jet headed to Vegas to party!

    So who attacked us? Do you guys know? I'll tell you.. Ansar Al-Sharia.. Have we brought them to justice yet? Nope. Have we tried? Nope. The only thing the Obama administration did about it was invent a tall tale to misdirect everyone, which gave the terrorists a chance to escape and cover their tracks. Like yet another act of treason.

    Why should people just let that go?

    Why didn't you consider that she could be wrong...........not lying? Why shut your brain off from thinking any further?


    Watch the video. Gerald Connolly gives figures at the 50min mark: http://www.c-span.org/video/?315089-1/benghazi-consulate-attack

    The point isn't exactly or specifically how much was cut.

    Nope, most of it is from GOP policies.

    Money was not a problem. They had 200 million in the budget left. The cuts were for future years. As the testimony of the people involved said, money was not a factor but of course the democrat says it is because that is the narrative they want to project.

    It was the "straw that broke" the camels back. In other words, if there were other reasons for going into Iraq, then I wonder why we didn't go in there earlier?

    No, they clearly testified that all money was spent.

    As the testimony revealed...........many times when they say its not about money..........it is about money. And then Connolly laid out the facts about how much was cut. http://www.c-span.org/video/?315089-1/benghazi-consulate-attack

    Go by reality.
    From Truman to Carter the debt as a % of GDP during every administration.
    The National Debt was 800 Billion dollars, Reagan's tax cuts and his huge boosts to defense spending tripled the debt, to 2.4 Trillion.
    H.W.Bush made modest tax increases but kept the low tax rates for the wealthy.
    The deficits increased, the debt topped 4 trillion.
    Clinton raised taxes on the wealthy, cut taxes for the lower income groups, and the deficits began to fall, until there were surpluses.
    The debt increased to 5.5 Trillion, but when Clinton left office, the debt was decreasing.
    W. Bush and a GOP congress turned that surplus into record deficits within a few years, with tax cuts and huge spending increases, handing off a 1.4 trillion dollar deficit to President Obama. A deficit made worse by the implosion of the economy, due to the implementation of Republican policies on the regulation of banking.
    President Obama has reduced that deficit by more than half.

    The majority of the 17 trillion in debt is due to Republican policies, tax cuts for the wealthy, ridiculous wars, and lax regulation of business.

    I asked if it was true. Do we reject all efforts…?

    So this Obamanation’s objective is to respect slavery, throwing babies into the arms of Molech, rape of war booty…?

    “We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of [666]." Obama

    In response to post 639, which was in response to your post you said, “Lost of thing people do in the name of religion deserve to be, IMO”:

    “And in New York, some Orthodox Jews still perform circumcision according to religious tradition... With their teeth.

    Deserves to be denigrated.”

    I asked you if what Obama said was true. You avoided the question and on the same page made this true with regard to your responses:

    "Non sequitur. Your facts are uncoordinated."

    And you wonder why we fear you.

    Why would I need glitter when there is nothing to see? You are the one trying to show and prove imaginary scandals that have never been there to begin with. Good luck with throwing glitter onto that.

    So when they testified that money was a problem and then provided facts to back up the cuts that have been slashed.............you believe the military? LOL

    Sadly, that doesn't prove me wrong. You can either attempt to or keep running since you realize you CANT! The choice is yours! LOL

    Well the video posted only had one politician claiming it was the money in spite of the testimony he dismissed.
