    So the only attacks on American embassies or consulates that are worth Congress's time are:
    a) If only non-American's die during an attack on an Embassy/Consulate Congress doesn't need to bother- nothing to learn about the attack.

    b) Or only if they are pro-longed attacks- an American diplomat killed by a car bombing as he pulled up to an American consulate is not worthy of Congressional concern.

    Thanks for clarifying that.

    Yeah I know how it happened. Obama didnt send any help. I want to know why he didnt send help and I want to know why they lied to us and told us it was caused from a youtube video. Dont you?
    LOL seriously the dems were bluffed into a war? LMFAO ROFL, being patriots...lol DEMS being patriots,,,,,frign priceless, frign priceless, so you are saying dems were tricked by BUSH?! INTO WAR? Bottom line when you blame righties for the war you need to blame lefties just the same, since without them the war would not have occured. Period.
    Lastly I criticised Bush severely for staying in Iraq after it was determined there were no WMDs. I did that because it was the right thing to do. The same way you should be wanting to know why Obama let four people die when he could have saved them. The problem is you dont care.
    The fact is, benghazi terrifies lefties because they know how serious this is and they know its not gonna drop until we find out who lied. The reason you want this to go away is because you know the people who lied are OBAMA and HILLARY. Well that didnt take long bout 4 years before the lefties got themselves into another scandal.

    Exactly and the guy has the nuggets to get on national TV and tell us they are trying to get to the bottom of it when he is the very guy he is trying to get to the bottom of. What... he has to have to organize a committee to find out what he did that night? That would be funny if it wasnt for the fact four people died for no reason. Half of the country are such morons they dont even understand that.

    No, the issue is not the attacks, you lefties have been repeatedly told this. The issue was and will continue to be until we get an answer that Obama did not send help, in fact he denied help and the American people want and deserve to know why. He then tried to cover it up. He literally let four Americans die for no reason and then tried to blame youtube. Do you really not understand the difference?

    You ALMOST got right with the first try.

    If the attack costs American Lives it's a larger issue than if it doesn't because POTUS and the Secretary of State are responsible for their safety and well being.

    If the attack costs FOUR American Lives, Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty for example it's expected that POTUS and the Secretary of State place more importance on the discovering what happened to prevent it from reoccurring than in the results of an upcoming election.

    Regardless the situation, telling the American People the truth is the right thing to do. Behaving like a little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar and then switching over to behaving like a truculent spoiled brat when confronted with the truth in disgraceful. I expect POTUS to always act like a MAN, not a boy.

    Clarified better this time?

    Ok, lets have some of that intellectual honesty. After these thirteen attacks, how many times did the Bush administration tell the American people they where due to "spontaneous protests", and not terrorist attacks?

    I'll wait.

    Oh I think you have just confirmed everything I said.

    You think that there is no reason for Congress to be concerned about attacks on U.S. embassies or consulates if only non-Americans were killed unless there was a pro-longed assault of sufficient duration.

    I actually understand the concern.

    However, far too many here had come to that conclusion absent any evidence within hours of the attack- it was obvious from the beginning that the political attack on Obama was fueled as much by partisanship as the actual attack on Benghazi.

    Which is the point of the article- there was no immediate concern about the 'facts' after any of these other attacks.

    I actually want to see to see an answer to the claims. If a response team was available I would like to know why it wasn't deployed- and exactly who denied it- should be relatively easy to follow the thread if it leads anywhere.

    I think the whole thing about the Youtube video is stupid and irrelevant. If there was a coverup of fault- let it come out.

    But like I said- the usual suspects had tried and convicted the Obama administration before the bullets stopped flying in Benghazi- which doesn't bolster their claims.

    Let the chips fall as they may- what mistakes the Obama administration made should be public- and if there was a coverup- lets find that out too

    Did G.Bush or anyone in his White House go virtually out of their way to
    spin those attacks and create a totally fabricated excuse.
    That's the difference.
    Plus this happened on 9/11.
    Plus we know Hillary and her State Dept. both denied and ignored any
    requests { often urgent } and tried to suppress any Memo/E-mail detailing
    these denied requests.
    No U.S. Ambassador died,either.
    Hillary is an insane power mad Witch.

    Going back to an almost Retard Birther excuse eh ?
    Since when would a POTUS stating 2 weeks later at the United Nations,
    mind ya, 6 Times about some YouTube Video being the cause of such
    an attack.
    ADMIT ... You not only drank the Kool-aid ... you live for the stuff.

    The Americans who died in those attacks died doing what their duty demanded of them, namely that they protect our ambassador at all cost upto and including their lives. No ambassador died on Bush's watch. Had the Obama Administration paid attention to the obvious none would have died on Obama's watch either. By the way none of those attacks resulted in a breach of any of our consulates or embassies by hostile forces. And Bush never tried to cover anything up.

    What this is about is a potential cover up that appears more and more obvious as time goes on except of course to those on the left to whom Obama will remain through all eternity as the perpetually martyred savior of the obliviously left wing goofy.

    Oh and for what it is worth jeffy there are very few leftist in my experience who should critique the intellectual honesty of anyone else regardless of political persuasion and you aren't on that very,very, short list.

    The coverup? The incompetence of 9/11 headed up by the Bush administration and never even questioned? Surely you're joking! The "admin at the get go lied"? The right wing excused all of this so, what's the problem here?

    The fact that Muslim extremists have a history of attacks over people mocking Islam is a pretty good reason to think that the video was to blame. And it's never been proven that the attacks were not about the video, only that they were not part of the peaceful protests that were already taking place at the time.

    I never felt that Bush lied---there was no logic or evidence of it. I'm thinking---that you know Obama lied. And you know he did a cover up and people died. But you don't care.

    There was never any protest ever reported taking place outside of the consulate on the day of the attack.
    You wanna try again?

    Did you not read my post? I said that it was proven that the attacks were not linked to any peaceful protest, but that does not mean that the video itself was not the reason for the attack. That is like saying that bombing an abortion clinic is not over not liking abortion because the attackers does not take part in peaceful protests of abortion as well.

    yeah we are trying to find out what Obama did but he refuses to tell us. How is that political? The second they started spouting it was caused from a video I knew they were lying so did everyone else. Thats not politics thats just common sense. If he did his job in the first place there would be no partisan politics. The scandal isnt on the right the scandal is on the left.

    I assume that it has been pointed out to you that there has never been a Benghazi before. Never have we failed to protect our foreign diplomats when forces were available. Never has there been a pattern of lies, denial, and embarrassment. Never have their been congressional hearings, with whistle blowers, who felt compelled to buck the establishment to render truth. Never after an attack on an Embassy has every ranking member of government involved suddenly retired. Never after an attack on an Embassy have our representatives looked the victims families in the eye and promised retribution for a false narrative. Never since 9/11 have we used such an indefensible structure as a political consulate, but Hillary wanted a permanent outpost, and forced the situation on a timescale for election. Never have we embarrassed a countries leader by lying about the situation, and calling him ignorant or a liar. Never has a president held such a spell over the mainstream media, which tries every way possible to ignore or forgive a sitting president. Tyrone Woods bled out after 5 hours of battle, painting targets for an empty sky. That makes me cry... but the lies... lie after lie after lie... and now caught up in the (*)(*)(*)(*)... you want to pretend this is like any other attack? BTW it isn't "just FOX" anymore. Even the MSM cannot avoid it anymore... it is too high level.

    Nothing like Benghazi has EVER happened before... and we cannot allow it to pass... or happen again. This circumstance is unprecedented... and this administration needs to be held accountable.

    People being threatened, demoted, for asking questions, or telling the truth. This is corrupt... and the (*)(*)(*)(*) is just now hitting the fan. There will be more hearings. More interviews... because we just heard the truth for the first time in 8 months... and people had to risk their lives/careers to do it. To tell the truth with an administration following them around with a hammer, threatening whack-a-mole.

    Get your heads out of your partisan asses. If this had EVER happened under Bush, I would be screaming for impeachment.

    I watched the Iran Contra hearings. I wanted Reagan's badge too. I am not popular with conservatives in this regard... but for as incredible a person as I think he was... I think he should have been removed for it.

    I would ask you to try and have the same courage... and admit your leadership lied to you, failed America, and putrefied the deaths of those brave Americans... while soiling our reputation worldwide.

    Hold your leaders accountable. Do the honest and noble thing.

    This business that Bush Lied.Then so do virtually every Senator from Hillary to
    Carl Levin to President Clinton about Saddam having WMD and being a serious
    threat.That pretty much sums it up.Plus Bush made his case about Saddam as a
    threat with WMD's and asked for a Vote of Congress on use of force.Whihc Congress
    gave him.Obama,on the contrary,refused any Congressional vote when he went in Libya
    and had a Head of State { Gaddafi assassination } while Hillary chuckled about her
    Wichery " We came,We Saw,He Died " chuckle chuckle chuckle !!!
    The United States as an Executive Action order under President Gerald Ford
    specifically Forbidding asassinations of Heads of State.
    EO 11905 - Bans political assassinations

    I care as much as you did when Bush lied. I'm thinking that you give George a pass cause he's one of yours. You know George and his WMD's stinks to high heaven but you overlook it because he's one of yours. Admit it. You really don't care unless it's the other guy.
