    Servicemen and women in harms way get killed, look at how many died since Obama took office. The point is they were in Lebanon and NO Ambassador was killed, that's their JOB. Hillary had months to prepare for the deteriorating conditions and did NOTHING, except the Stated Dept under her command REDUCED SECURITY a month before the attacks after numerous requests for an increase. Sheer incompetence from the State Dept and an appalling lack of leadership by Hillary Clinton.

    Security incidents Hillary's State Dept knew about.

    they were trying to keep a low profile and not attract attention

    and the gop has consistently supported cuts to the state dept's budget

    Lies!!!!!! After all, why would the Obama Administration lie??? He's the greatest, most transparent president ever. He wouldn't do such a thing... After all, I'm an informed voter. I watch MSNBC, CNN, NPR, etc... these media companies would never mislead me...

    You conservatives are always lying. You said Obamacare is broken, but we know it's working great. You say the number unemployed people is high, but we know it's okay. Bengazhi is just another fake news story only to make Obama (the greatest president ever) look by.... In all likelyhood, you conservatives hate Obama because he is a black man.. You guys not only lie about Obama, but are RACIST too....

    Thats true, the Ambassador did reject sending in Marines to defend the complex, in Al Queda controlled territory, but Stevens did make several requests for additional covert security, that went ignored by obama and pals.

    and hillary herself said funding wasnt an issue....

    The race card isnt proof of anything, except your personal racist views.

    And how did that decision work out?

    They were sitting on$2 Billion in unspent funds for additional security, why wasn't it spent?

    237 less people killed than under reagan's venture

    and ambassadors obviously go into harm's way, too

    Is that why Reagan never lost an Ambassador?

    How many Americans died when Reagan dealt with libya? oh wait... zero.... now I remember.....

    How many terrorists did Reagan arm and fund in Libya? oh wait.... zero.... now I remember.....

    Good question, Bill Clinton had intelligence on 9/11 attack since 1999. But he was too busy getting a blow job than observing INTL. Terrorist networks near and within the country. This is the same guy responsible for the WACO massacre.

    http://www.amazon.com/Intelligence-Failure-Clintons-National-Security/dp/0785260749

    I find it hard to believe that a person who could assemble federal power against a State(Texas) was also somehow unprepared to deal with the Al-Qaeda threat. That to me, was worth far more investigation than it got. Far more investigation than Benghazi.

    It's not just Leon Panetta and Obama making decisions. They were listening to military commanders as well, when this was happening. These were all joint decisions based on military experience. If you say you've heard this story and is about as weak as it gets, I would suggest you create a foundation to counter your own weak statements with a little more than "this story is as about as weak as it gets", with a list of arguing points to the same points I gave. Just saying the argument is weak, does not advance your argument.

    Yeah, these arguments are really "kindergarten". Clinton was a great president who protected the USA.

    This post makes no sense. So, in Lebanon no ambassadors were killed, but 241 service people were killed, and you say the point is no ambassadors were killed. I hate to break the news to you, but you have not made any point, other than 241 service people died and no ambassador lost his or her life. Are you trying to make this an apples to oranges argument? If you are, you failed miserably.

    If you had made the point that 241 servicemen died and there were some security issues, I would have taken your post a little more serious. But to weigh ambassador against servicemen as if the two are different, which is exactly what you did, is an insult to those who serve. Like I said, your post is totally diluted in nonsense.
