BENGHAZI-GATE: Did two heroic SEALs ruin Obama’s October Surprise?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Please stop using “-Gate”. This thing stands alone, all by itself. BEN-GHAZI !! Any new Democratic scandal should be tagged “-GHAZI”.

They didn’t want to scare off al-Qaeda in Libya. Increased security might have kept al-Qaeda from coming in to save Obama and Hillary’s behinds by telling us where the missing missiles are. They were trying to appease al-Qaeda to save their political hides. More security also means it’s harder to maintain the coverup about Obama and Clinton being the proximate cause of the loss of the missiles in Libya.

The boys at the New York Times were fooled on this one too... they'd miss it if it was shoved in their collective little faces... They don't want to see things that make them uncomfortable... Quick, quick, print up an excuse for Obama....

Well they should be able to buy a few more Volts, a bike rack, and employ another SS dude to protect Valerie Jarrett for that!

Dennis Kucinich on Fox today said this is absolutely untrue.
He said there were just as many dems voting for this bill that was an actual increase of 120%, but not as much as obama asked for. Nothing was cut.

Do you know that more Dems voted for the cut in security money than Repubs by one vote. Rep Cummings voted for the cuts too, check it out.

Or Hillary wants it for 2016.

“Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) says the State Department is sitting on $2.2 billion that should be spent on upgrading security at U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide, but the Obama administration will not spend the funds.”

Didn’t Obama’s State Department spend $70,000 to defend Islam in Pakistan against that “anti-Islam” video?

I guess they have their priorities.

Yup. It is called Check and Balance.

Obama outsourced security at Benghazi. He owes America an explanation. The call for accountability should be deafening.

Speaking of which (unused funds), how is our government running? I don’t remember any special bill to continue running the government. October 1st is the new fiscal year. What’s up with that? Anyone? Anyone?
