    Why do republicans care more about 4 dead Americans instead of 4,000?

    Jesus u are a spin machine. So far today you have accused republicans of playing politics, bickered about toomany right wing news sources, and claimed republicans ddon't care about the dead. None of this addresses the tons of evidence. That u say doesn't exist.

    I think bengazzi was bought and pad for by the kooch brothers. They paid a war lord in Labia to trap the ambassador and make an october surprise to tip the election. That's why Mitt was already on the stage smirking before anybody else even knew anything.

    That just may be one of the most despicable things I've read in D&D to date, kudos. I guess you're an amatuer when it comes to world politics. A country that cannot protect their diplomats will be a laughing stock around the world. See the Cold War for details.

    It had been over 30 years since one of our ambassadors was killed in the line of duty - excuse the hell out of us for wanting to get to the bottom of how four innocent people who were doing the best they could for not only our country, but the country they in were murdered.

    These were four Americans murdered in cold blood, serving our country... and high ranking government officials clearly covered it up simply to win an election. The cards come tumbling down and we're the bad ones... I get it.

    This story has not stuck except for the people on the right who think fox is actual news. It will not stick four years from now when Hillary is destroying whoever the GOP trots out. It's a sad tragedy with bad information that got around sort of like the Iraq war.

    Hillary went into the victim's families homes and told them she would make sure that guy who made the youtube video is arrested and prosecuted. She did this knowing the youtube video had nothing to do with the event because her state department had been told immediately by CIA that it was AQ. She is a soulless monster.

    What part would u call a hyperbole? she did lie to Americans and she did lie to the victim's families.

    Looks to me like they didn't know what happened At first and they got bad information and corrected it on the fly. I don't see this as a cover up.

    Classic stonewalling. Those news organizations are not going to jump to that conclusion publicly as jumping to conclusions is not their job, but for the first time they are asking the hard questions that should have been asked all along.

    This is kind of a tacit confession that they were being the lapdogs for the Administration instead of probing and inquiring for the public good.

    No he's right. Jay Carney explained it yesterday and now I understand. I hadn't thought of this way before, but when he talked about it in the press conference it made sense. They had information that it was a terrorist attack but they weren't sure 100% WHO was behind it and it would be inappropriate in these situations to just assign blame, especially when these types of things have a history of changing. Therefore, instead of assigning blame to the group that the CIA and officials in Libya thought was responsible they decided to assign blame to the youtube video that was never referenced once by the CIA. You see, in situations like these it's safer to just go ahead and lie then assign blame to someone that might be responsible and end up wrong. You know?

    Actually, that's not what Carney said. Carney said they decided not to assign blame to anything or anyone. Except they did assign blame. To the video. That wasn't referenced by the intelligence community.
