Today Darrell ISay ? (republican from CA.) opened hearings on the embassy attacks stating basically there should have been more security.

This is another republican reach to score points for Romney just like Fast and Furious which Bush started and Isay held Eric Holder in contempt for supposedly not releasing all the info and with holding from the committee. Holder was found innocent by a separate panel.

Here is the kicker folks......the last two years the OBAMA administration has asked for additional embassy security funding and you guessed it ??? The republicans cut a half billion in funding from embassy security in the last two years.


Just like the where are the jobs republican bunch who have blocked jobs bill after jobs bill here they go again.

REPUBLICANS BLOCKED A HALF BILLION IN FUNDING FOR EMBASSY SECURITY THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ASKED FOR IN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND NOW WANT TO SCORE POLITICAL POINTS FOR SOMETHING THEY CREATED.


Willing to make political points over someone's death and since they were involved they think you are not paying attention to what they have done.


Punish these ass clowns at the polls !

House Democrats opened Wednesday’s House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing by attacking Republicans for cuts to embassy security funding — cuts that only happened thanks to overwhelming support from House Democrats, including House Oversight Committee Ranking Democratic member Rep. Elijah Cummings. In fact, more House Democrats – 149 of them — voted for the cuts than did House Republicans, of which 147 voted for them. cont...

According to Reuters, U.S. Security Officer Eric Nordstrom, who was assigned to a post in Tripoli until about two months before the attack on the Embassy in Bengazi on September 11, spoke out today regarding a serious concern regarding the State Department in relation to the deadly attack. According to Nordstrom, he had asked his State Department superiors on two separate occasions to issue more security agents to the American mission in Benghazi.

According to documented communication, Charlene Lamb who is a State Department official wanted to maintain an “artificially low” presence of United States security personnel in Benghazi.

Nordstrom reportedly continued to insist on additional U.S. security in Libya by even chronologically listing security incidents that had occurred there from June 2011 to July 2012, forty-eight of the incidents involving incident of militia gunfights to bomb attacks right in Benghazi.

This information was made public in a brief summary of Nordstrom’s statements during an interview with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

According to the Reuters report, Nordstrom’s actions and those of his superiors are to be analyzed in a public hearing on Wednesday in Congress.

The deadly attack in Benghazi left four dead including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. First reports attempted to blame a viral video which disrespected Islam but then were later changed to admitting that the September 11 attack was terrorist-related.

The primary source of this article is Reuters.

Lt. Col. Andy Wood, the former head of a U.S. Special Forces "Site Security Team" in Libya, has told CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson that he and many other senior staff at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, "felt we needed more, not less" security personnel in the country, but were told "to do with less. For what reasons, I don't know."

Wood and others have portrayed a State Department in Washington that was either unwilling to provide American officials in Libya with the security they required or ignorant of the pressing security concerns in a country where the central government is weak, and Islamic extremist militias have enjoyed virtual free reign in the power vacuum created by the toppling and killing of long-time dictator Muammar Qaddafi.cont...

Repubs refused to pass what the Prez asked for.

Regardless they voted for it so shut the **** up and quit your b****ing about something you helped create and trying to make political points out of something you were involved with to begin with.


Regardless of how you look at it. Repubs voted for the decrease in funding for security and a couple of guys died so they need to shut up and quit trying to score CHEAP points...........................

What do you own ? Not a brain, read on sloopy.


They are bitching about the very thing they wanted cut......and got.

Obama asked for a half billion more.

People died and they were right in the middle of cutting the budget for embassy security yet they are the ones doing the bitchin.

Maybe you need to go back to school.

Like yourself, facts are a biotch. When you've been proven wrong, it's best just to walk away and not make a fool of yourself. But that is what you do best with your insult filled rants.
