No, Obama is trying to use lack of money as an excuse for the lack of security in Benghazi. He is echoing the Dem line of Boxer and Pelosi. Forget that Charlene Lamb of the State Department who said before Congress that resources were not the problem.
This statement is scary because Obama and his minions will be pushing this line to the public and during the 2014 midterms. Obama is circling the wagons.
Boomberg first question: IRS - anyone in WH know? SHould they have? Special pros?
FY 2012 Budget Request March 10, 2011The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort the same way the Pentagon’s request is funded: in a separate Overseas Contingency Operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that fully reflects the integrated civilian-military efforts. Our share of the President’s $126 billion request for exceptional wartime costs is $8.7 billion. So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account.

But let me just quickly walk you through this, because on this issue of our $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations, we have the strongest support from Secretary Gates, from Admiral Mullen. And next week – I was speaking with General Petraeus last night. He will be here on the Hill strongly supporting the civilian effort that goes hand-in-hand with what he is doing so heroically in Afghanistan. So we are funding vital civilian missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq with this $8.7 billion.
It was already determined money was not an issue for additional security.. and on record. Therefore he’s simply demanding money...it’s always more money...more lies.
