    Bush was president when we had thirteen attacks on embassies and nothing was ever said. And I still haven't heard the defense for Gowdy and McCarthy yet from anyone from the Right. You can't claim there was a concern for the four who died when McCarthy and Gowdy admitted to conspiring against her to smear her credibility. After that, it just cancels all this bogus concern for the four who died. It proves it was all about politics and there is nothing you can say that can defend your position. It doesn't mean a thing now. The truth was exposed, and that's the end of it.

    Good Grief , just quit repeating this old lie? Only one diplomat was killed under Bush and that was at a Marriott hotel by a car bomb.

    Here are the attacks under Bush I found.

    Karachi attacks
    June 2002, twelve people killed and 51 injured outside US Consulate (all Pakistanis)

    Feb 2003, two police officers killed in front of the consulate

    March 2004, Bomb plot failed when police discovered a van filled with 200 gallons of liquid explosives in front of US Consulate

    March 2006, suicide car bomb outside a Marriott Hotel kills four including American diplomat David Foy

    Kolkata India attack
    Jan 2002, four police constables and a private security guard killed by gunfire outside the American cultural center(two killed and seven convicted in the terrorist attack)

    Uzbekistan attack
    July 2004, Two Uzbek security guards killed at the entrance of the US and Israeli embassies by suicide bombers.

    Damascus attack
    Sept 2006, three gunman and a Syrian security guard killed in foiled attack on U.S. Embassy

    Here's one on Obamas watch

    Peshawar bombing
    April 2010, The American consulate attack killed 6 people including 2 security service personnel. However, no Americans were hurt in the attack.

    *It is also noted that the left likes to include the attackers deaths in this lie to bolster the death count.

    It doesn't matter if any were killed. The blunders were still there. We are talking about security blunders right? Bush's crowd should be held to the same standard as the Right is trying to put on Clinton. The Right has proven their selective outrage through partisan politics. End of story! Nothing you say or do can change that fact.

    Maybe you can show us the blunders like where more security was requested hundreds of times before these incidents.

    They admitted to it. So, if you can't do any better than your one liner saying the "truth was not exposed", you have nothing to offer as a rebuttal. Sorry, but it is what it is. They were caught and they admitted to it. And by the way, Gowdy needs to go to jail for obstruction of justice.

    http://www.ijreview.com/2014/05/138...zis-happened-bush-taken-apart-destroyed-eyes/ Scroll down to number 8. It was just like Benghazi. Where is the outrage from the Right? Answer, it's all about politics and framing others for the same crap that happened to the Right and Bush.

    "End of story!" Laugh out frieking loud, I don't think so...
    These "blunders" were "outside US Consuate", "in front of the consulate", "outside a Marriott Hotel", "outside the American cultural center", entrance of the US and Israeli embassies", unfortunately a diplomat was killed in the Marriott parking lot by a car bomb and foreign security guards were killed successfully defending the consulates. Now compare this to Hillary's blunder: Stevens requesting more security, ignored previous attacks, British and Red Cross had already pulled out, U.S. mission breached and burned down, first Ambassador killed in 30 years, Hillary going home during the eight hour attack, lying to the family of the dead after.

    also why are you blaming Bush? shouldn't you blame any "blunders" on the Secretary of State at the time?

    Altering documents is not an investigation.What is your defense for that? It is tampering with information to acquire a different outcome in Gowdy's favor. It's obstruction. He should go to jail. As usual you counter argument has gone off the reservation. How do you wake up everyday and defend those who are not just caught doing wrong, but dishonest and corrupt? I find that amazing.

    Because, at the time they were foaming at the mouth to blame Obama, until they realized it would do them no good. Then they went after Clinton. And Stevens? Lol! He wasn't even supposed to be there. He went there at his own risk. And since memory does not seem to be one of your finer qualities, let us remind you that the Investigative non-partisan committee said she did her job, and went by protocol.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Lol! You just can't muscle up one ounce of a defense can you? Seriously dude, you should just let it go. Your rebuttals at this point are embarrassing.

    Once you figure out i am not defending a thing perhaps we can talk. See what happens when you do nothing but spin you assume others do the same.. That is your mistake and i have zero interest in any dialogue with you until you figure that out.

    The Consulate was the target, and they were successful. That is the bottom line. They killed a diplomat affiliated with the Consulate in front of the Consulate. Security was breached. End of story!

    There was NO US Consulate in Benghazi that's why there was no Marine Guard.

    You have zero interest in dialogue because you have zero argument. And by the way, you seem to forget you were defending Gowdy by calling what he did an investigation. So telling me you are not defending a thing, is not true.

    And by the way, what is the spin you are talking about?

    Hearing/ investigation? Is that the best you can do play semantics? Again.. Try again when you actually have something to say.

    Lol! Yea, your done here. Semantics? You're kidding right? Try and stay focused. An investigation is no longer an investigation when the one doing the investigation hijacks the documents to fit the investigators desires. At that point it is no longer an investigation by the investigator. It becomes a matter of obstruction of evidence by the investigator. No semantics in play here.

    Because that's what it is. Dude, read my words here. Gowdy screwed up. He tried to frame Clinton. McCarthy admitted they were trying to smear her. Game over chief! These folks got caught. Do you really believe any more investigation of her would be taken seriously by these clowns? Of course not!

    So understand this; I have no need to debate anything because Gowdy and the rest of the criminals have been made. They did Clinton a favor by getting themselves caught with obstructing justice. Those two destroyed any ounce of integrity, honesty, or decency the Right ever thought they had. Now they have none at all. And they certainly have no case. They blew it big time.

    Obama was blamed for sending his little toadie out on all the Sunday shows to lie about it so he could get re-elected, he was criticized for winging off to Las Vegas to do a fundraiser the next morning. It was asked where the help was?

    Yes, Christopher Stevens good friend that totally ignored the situation in a war torn country.

    A bipartisan report blames the State Department for failing to increase security and adds that 15 people in Benghazi who have tried to help the FBI investigate have been killed.

    The report was prepared by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and found that State, then under Hillary Clinton, refused requests to boost security despite warnings from the CIA and its own staff about the danger of militant attacks.

    "The attacks were preventable, based on extensive intelligence reporting on the terrorist activity in Libya — to include prior threats and attacks against Western targets — and given the known security shortfalls at the U.S. Mission," the committee said in a statement.
