    Someone throws a home made bomb over the wall of the Benghazi Consulate and no additional security was added? I would find it extremely difficult to believe that that lil incident was left out of the daily intel briefing. Maybe that was one of the many intel briefings Obama skipped...eh? A bomb is heaved over the wall and no one in Obama's traveling circus thought that was important enough to beef up security?

    Myself, I think it was a conscious decision NOT to enhance security. It would be simply be too embarrassing for the Administration who spent a Billion Dollars assisting the Rebel takeover to allow the world to see we are worried about our safety from our new "friends". Unfortunately, to save their reputation it cost 4 American's their lives. Then the real slap in the face to all Americans was that cheesy contrived story about the video being the cause. Any President who would think we are that stupid doesn't deserve a second term. How can anyone respect a President that would do THAT?

    When will you guys get it through your skulls that there's no amount of manpower that will prevent a terrorist attack on a fixed target? Remember the two terrorists who blew up the Marines in Beirut? They killed 305 troops and injured 75. It's up to the host government to maintain control over their malcontents. There's no way we can send 16,000 troops to guard each of our embassies and consulates around the world.

    Diplomats have been killed since cave man days. It's an expected hazard of the job and the cost of doing business with lunatics.

    They could have and should have been evacuated, the Brit evacuated their consulate in Benghazi as did other Western nations.

    I think Obama didn't want to do that because he spent a billion dollars or more getting those A Holes into power. Evacuating would be an admission of failure. Guess those four lives were just the cost of Obama trying get re-elected eh?

    They were the ones who knew what was going on there. If they didn't take proper precautions that's too bad. If they thought that they were in danger they should have left the country.

    Maybe your unfamiliar with the story, but they asked for additional security but were denied, even though the State Dept was sitting on $2.2 Billion dollars for embassy security. The four deaths at the consulate in Benghazi are on Clinton and Obama's hands.

    Progressive foolishness or criminal negligence. Take your pick folks, then vote Obama out of office.

    It's almost over. Hang on America!
