I hope Bolton gets a top spot in the next administration.
Sorry Ambassador, on this point I disagree. There is an excuse: the Obama administration is simply incompetent!
Empty chair alert
Here is why they knew or should have known if Obama attended his meetings (which he did not)
Benghazi was a hot spot.
There are missing weapons that we supplied to terrorists. Those arms could be used against us. They likely were used against us in that attack.
The CIA is behind the cover up.

You will notice that the Blind Sheik was asked about in the Libya hearing. I believe some deal was going to go down with the Blind Sheik. Maybe in exchange for the arms. Maybe something else.
It went wrong.
Now it’s a matter if who takes the fall.
Some believe that there was going to be a staged kidnapping of Stevens and that the exchanges were going to take place as part of his release.
It’s possible.
How were they supposed to know?
Those scurilous intelligence people were sneaky about informing anyone.
They snuck it in at the President's Daily Briefing when they knew Barry and Joe were still sleeping, on their way to golf or involved in some other more important personal business.
This was a orchestrated effort to suppress our freedoms. They used the film as an excuse and as a bonus tried to make Romney appear unfit to be our next President.
They failed and most everyone knows it.
Like most political hacks they would rather stick with a lie or replace it with a new lie rather than level with the America people.
This video is even better-

Senator Graham: Secretary of State Susan Rice? ‘Impossible’
By Charles C. W. Cooke
October 12, 2012 10:12 A.M.
Yesterday morning, I spoke to Senator Lindsey Graham about the Obama administration’s responsibility for — and reaction to — September’s embassy attacks. I asked him who was to blame.
“Suppose that Obama wins a second term. There’s been some talk of Susan Rice as a potential secretary of state. How would you feel about that?” I asked. “That would be virtually impossible,” Graham told me. “I tend to defer to presidential choice, but there are some lines that I will not cross. She’s either incompetent or untrustworthy — she’s one of the two. [Though] ultimately, I blame the president.”
Which one of the two explains why the administration’s account was so at odds with the growing evidence? I asked. Was it a deliberate political ploy — a cover-up, perhaps — or the inevitable symptom of the worldview held by the president and his team? The problem with Benghazi, Graham replied, “is that it doesn’t fit Obama’s narrative. He wishes to convey the idea that his administration has diminished al-Qaeda and ended the wars,” and that the “danger is now limited.” To listen to him is to get “the impression that al-Qaeda has been fatally weakened and the ball game is nearly over.” The problem, he continued, is that “bin Laden’s death has not changed anything strategically. We seem to think we are in the last two minutes of the game, but the enemy is getting ready for the second quarter.”

Ambassador died, Obama lied
In the White House, a telephone is ringing...
Why won't this President answer it?
Because he's jetting off to Vegas for fundraisers.
The buck never stops at the desk of His Most Glorious Imperial Majesty. It’s ALWAYS someone elses fault.
Glenn Beck played an interview before 9/11/12 in which Obama appologized for his ignorance on how bad the economy was when he took office. I think this is a meme for him to claim ignorance and blame it on others. This makes me think even more that he is someone’s puppet. Keep him insulated from scandal, and the puppet and the puppet master stay in power. However, I think, I HOPE, they blew it this time.
I don’t know if they knew. General Petraus, the head of the CIA told Congress after the murders that it was caused by a protest over the you-tube video.
General Dempsey, Chief of the Joint Cheifs of Staff, was playing the same intellegence disinformation game:

They didn’t know because they don’t attend regular security briefings, remember...
Neither one of them know sh!t and neither wants to. They have “big picture” plans and don’t give a Rat’s ass about a few “bumps in the road”.
