" With repeated warnings in place, security was "pulled out" a month before the attack. "

So ? this Congressional report proves Nancy Pelosi was lying ? right ?

Congress will get to the bottom of this with a speedy and focused investigation, just like Fast and Furious, after all, they don’t want the patsy to have time to get out of town.
