Bush Administration recognized they were planned attacks, Obama Administration said it was a spontaneous protest of a YouTube video. Are you still believing it was because of the video?
I feel you will hear plenty about Benghazi soon enough. Your blame Bush straw man isn't going to help you.
But hey!!! Like Hillary said "What difference does it make?".
Help me??? Help with what? A Republican Witch Hunt?
I remember hearing about Reverend Right... The GOP thought they had a winner with the Rev... No one cared about what some wacko Rev had to say... they voted for Obama.
I remember "No US President has ever been reelected with unemployment so high!!!" Most voters recognized that the unemployment disaster was caused by the Bush Economic Meltdown... They reelected Obama.
I remember hearing on this board... Obama is toast... He'll never be reelected with gas this high$$$ Obama has set record numbers in his term for domestic oil production... Obama was reelected.
Now we can read about the Benghazi Witch Hunt... Hillary will be elected in 2016!

Hypothetically - if Obama or Clinton had been the ones trapped in a building which was under attack by terrorists wouldn't they expect the American military, intelligence community and others to come to their assistance and rescue them? Obviously, the answer is yes. And every member of the American military, intelligence and diplomatic service that I know would not hesitate to help ANY American under attack. The sad thing is that their own Commander-in-Chief and their own, now former, Secretary of State could not and can not be counted on to act similarly. Obama and Clinton are IMHO selfish, treasonous cowards who have discredited their offices. Obama needs to be impeached and convicted. Clinton should never be allowed to hold a public office again.

Americans are asked if they believe the White House lied or engaged in a coverup, 54 percent said that inaccurate initial statements from the White House were based on the best knowledge they had at the time. Forty percent believe there was a coverup, according to the poll.

"The Republicans, apparently with nothing better to do, are still chasing their tails over the tragic events in Benghazi on September 11. Actually, no. That's not true. They're chasing their tails over what happened after the tragic events of September 11. They're mostly concerned that the Obama Administration tried to cover up the fact that this was a terrorist attack by a local militia (translation: local street gang) which aspired toward bad-butt Al Qaeda status. This is a pretty hard sell since, the day after the attack, the President called it an 'act of terror.'"

Former US official describes Libya attack Published - May 08 2013 01:42PM EST
DONNA CASSATA, Associated Press
(The Associated Press)
In this Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012 file photo, a Libyan man investigates the inside of the U.S. Consulate after an attack that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, on the night of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012, in Benghazi, Libya. WASHINGTON (AP) — A former top diplomat in Libya on Wednesday described a 2 a.m. call from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton during the deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and amid confusion about the fate of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and fears about the safety of additional American personnel.
"She asked me what was going on and I briefed her on developments. Most of the conversation was about the search for Ambassador Stevens," Gregory Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission in Libya, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "It was also about what we were going to do with our personnel in Benghazi and I told her we would need to evacuate and she said that was the right thing to do."
Haltingly, Hicks recounted "the saddest phone call in my life" — getting word from a Libyan official that Stevens had been killed.
The politically charged hearing on the Sept. 11, 2012 attack is the latest in a long-running and bitter dispute between the administration and congressional Republicans who have challenged the White House's actions before and after the deadly assault, in which Stevens and three other Americans died.
The target of much of the conservative wrath is Clinton, a potential presidential candidate in 2016, who stepped down after four years with high approval ratings. In her last appearance on Capitol Hill in January, a defiant Clinton took responsibility for the department's missteps leading up to the assault, while rejecting suggestions the administration had tried to mislead the country about the attack.
The witnesses Wednesday were Mark Thompson, acting deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism; Hicks, the former deputy of mission in Libya; and Eric Nordstrom, a former regional security officer in Libya who testified before the panel in October.
Hicks said that shortly after he was told Stevens was dead, unidentified Libyans called Hicks' staff from the phone that had been with the ambassador that night. These Libyans said Stevens was with them, and U.S. officials should come fetch him, Hicks said. Hicks said he believed Stevens' body was at a hospital at that point, but he could not be certain.
"We suspected we were being baited into a trap," Hicks told the committee, so the U.S. personnel did not follow the callers' instructions. "We did not want to send our people into an ambush," Hicks testified.
An independent panel led by former top diplomat Thomas Pickering and retired Gen. Mike Mullen concluded that management and leadership failures at the State Department led to "grossly" inadequate security at the mission. The panel's report singled out the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security and the Bureau of Near East Affairs.
The report has failed to placate GOP lawmakers, conservatives and outside groups, some of whom contend that Benghazi is comparable to the Watergate and Iran-Contra scandals and deserves a more thorough examination. They contend that the Obama administration is covering up information.
Republicans at the hearing focused on the widely debunked talking points used by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice five days after the attack in which she said the attacks appeared to be associated with demonstrations in Egypt and Libya over an anti-Islam video.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said Rice's comments contradicted statements by Libyan leaders and others who called the attacks pre-meditated assaults by terrorists.
Gowdy said Rice's comments "perpetuated a demonstrably false narrative." Hicks, asked his reaction to the Rice's remarks on five Sunday talk shows, said: "I was stunned. My jaw dropped and I was embarrassed."
Democrats countered with a video clip of Director of National Intelligence James Clapper telling a Senate panel earlier this year that the hit on Rice was unfair.
"She was going on what we were giving her," Clapper said of the talking points.
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
The Latest GOP Benghazi-gasm is So Irrelevant that It’s On C-SPAN 3 The House Oversight and Governmental Affairs Committee is holding a Benghazi hearing that is so irrelevant that it is on C-SPAN 3, and C-SPAN will only offer highlights later.
House Republicans are trying again to turn Benghazi into a major scandal, but outside of right wing media, no one is buying the Republican cries of wolf. House Republicans had their big chance to turn Benghazi into a major scandal when Sec. of State Clinton testified in January, but Clinton ate them alive, as the nation watched and asked themselves, “Why are Republicans screaming about Benghazi?”

Down playing the murder and cover up because of who is broadcasting the hearing. That is only relevant to the American idiot.
I should have known that it was too complicated a post for Cicero to follow. I'll T Y P E S L O W E R just for Cic...
The Latest GOP Benghazi-gasm is So Irrelevant ~"that It’s On C-SPAN 3" ~Not on C-SPAN... ~Not on C-SPAN 1... ~Not on C-SPAN 2... But so trivial that they pushed it off to ~ C-SPAN 3... usually reserved for information on pork futures or corn subsidies!

My only correction to your comment is that it should read "That is only relevant to the UNAmerican idiot."

What if Clinton lied to Congress?? Who gave the orders to Clinton, Rice, and the MSM about the phony story of the you tube video to down play a terrorism attack. Who told the military to stand down and not respond to the attack?? 4 people are dead, killed on American soil and Box spews DNC talking points.
