The security lapses in Benghazi that led to the death of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans trace back to security decisions made in Washington. That's the message of a letter Rep. Darrell Issa sent to Secretary Clinton Tuesday.

It’s about time we got into a war in Africa. So far in the last 100 years we have done Europe 2X, Asia 2X, Near East X+ and hints of South America. Hope China will continue to finance us and hope our military can hold out because we sure don’t want a draft or raise taxes. Shop till you drop.

Impeach. "What did the President know and when did he know it?"

If Romney doesn’t use this he’s certifiable. This plus the State Department memo denying any security threat is all he needs to put the lie to the Administration story.

Hope so too. They put out a great ad yesterday showing Obama playing while Americans (one an ambassador) were killed. And a shot of Romney and Netanyahu at the end. Great ad and very aggressive. I was both surprised and happy to see it. I wished they added the cover-up as well, but hopefully that's another ad, as well as this security issue.

Very interesting.

Of course, this could be an innocent family’s way to grieve. I hope it’s not more than that.

I’m quite sure you’re right. The family is just doing what one does in the internet age: putting up a website to honor their fallen SON.

The question to which I was responding was regarding the sexual orientation of the Ambassador. Given all the information the family has listed, no wife comes into the picture. Yet the family (and presumably the Ambassador) are apparently all from San Francisco.

So, we’re left with a lifetime bachelor from San Francisco.

Now, he was probably an excellent guy, and it is a horror what happened to him on 0bama’s watch. But among other failures, mightn’t it have been the better part of wisdom not to send a (probably) gay guy to an Islamofascist training area?

Just sayin’......

One of the Libyan officials said that Stevens was a Muslim.

It’s been well known for people to be both.

:-)

If you really wanted to reject Western Civilization, what better way to do it than to be gay, Muslim, and working for 0bama?

I keep wondering if an imminent attack in Benghazi was meant to be the spark that would give Obama an excuse for a rally behind the president “October Surprise”. The ambassador was probably just suppose to be kidnapped and held for ransom. Then Obama would decisively order the Marines or Seal Team 6 to rescue him and his people. But the Obama’s well paid Muzzie pals got carried away... didn’t follow the script and killed the Ambassador and his men instead. Just another totally botched evil plan.

Wouldn’t you think our Government would find this credible. This video was made July 2012. http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/3506.htm

I agree with you!! I think it was planned up until Woods and Doherty stayed behind (instead of being escorted to safety) to save Stevens. They could’ve come armed and the “terrorist” killed them all and burned the evidence. But now our marines are on the ground in Libya so we might as well send them to Syria for ground support.

Of course, Nancy Pelosi is blaming it on the Republicans in the House who she says "withheld $300 million in funds for Libya which would have provided for enhanced security around the Benghazi consulate. When Blitzer asked if she thought Republican calls for an investigation into the incident in Benghazi were political in nature, Pelosi replied “One might suspect that.”

Rand Paul as majority leader ???

stevens was possibly a queer CIA operator that personally smuggled heavy weapons to the Libyans to off the wacky colonel...he trusted his masters to protect him...

kinda like the mob, beware the *promotion* behind closed doors...

Kinda like Vince Foster with Hillary. That some innocents lost their lies along with him is to Hillary and obama just collacteral damage.....too bad so sad. The only ones that mean anything to either Hillary or obama is themselves.

“That way “important” people can get a feel for what it’s like to be killed by the US government for a big fat jihadi lie. In fact, lets pull all the guards from DC buildings and invite Muslims in for prayer on Friday.”

Spirited: Leftists from an earlier time desperately wanted the Marxist Communism for everyone else but feared being caught and devoured by it. Today’s are no different. They want the bloody revolution ala jihadists for the rest of us but fear that they’ll become its victims as well.

Then how does Pelosi think the state department managed to buy all those Chevy Volts?
