good question.
Pathetic. The Administration, not Congress, oversees the State Department. As usual, the gutless media will not hold 0’s feet to the fire for his incompetence
Obama has set a leadership and experience example that the entire Congress now follows.....
Any attempts to hold this administration accountable for lapses in judgment resulting in the death of our servants in Libya will be promptly labeled as a political witch hunt, just like Fast and Furious.
And he probably is still not interested in the daily intelligent briefing. Might interfere with his fund raising and golf game.
Thanks barryobi.
This is such a cluster-blank it has to be Bush’s fault.
“...and the government has not appeared able to stop attacks on religious buildings”
Ding, ding...whose “religious buildings” - emptychair code word for CHURCHES? One doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist or have a team of specialists to know that the radicals are around when Christian Churches are being burned or blown up.
Heck we all saw this coming 3 1/2 year ago.
The House needs to hold hearings on this NOW.
Going back to June 06, 2012: US Embassy in Libya comes under attack
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/breaking-news/us-embassy-in-libya-comes-under-attack/story-fn3dxity-1226386750563
“The group was reportedly trying to gain information about its missing leader.”
Interesting that documents went missing with the 9/11/12 attack.
“Some of the missing papers from the consulate are said to list names of Libyans who are working with Americans, putting them potentially at risk from extremist groups, while some of the other documents are said to relate to oil contracts.”

It is also interesting to read through Canadian travel reports and warnings.

Especially considering that the Canadians kicked out all Iranian diplomats and closed the Canadian embassy in Iran. The report of this came out Sept 6th and Canada gave the Iranians 5 days to leave.
yes and Congressman Devin Nunes interviewed on the John Batchelor Show (radio) earlier this evening (13 Aug 2012) said that the Department of State refused to meet with The Select Committee on Intelligence about warnings and will not meet to discuss the current crises.
Congressman Devin Nunes is a member of The Select Committee on Intelligence
The House intelligence committee used to be "one of the meanest snake pits in Congress" but lately the members have cooperated at least -- at the same time the Obama Administration (apparently) has been telling the Committee to pound salt.
I cannot source this. There is nothing on the Internet yet so I have only my memory. I did not check the Congressman's web site -- he may have commented on the problem before tonight.
Blood on their hands.
How would we know? He was too busy playing golf.
Actually I heard today that the FBI still hasn’t secured the compound, because it is considered too dangerous.
Not sure why there wasn’t a platoon of marines on the ground surrounding our sovereign soil within an hour of the attack.
