    You keep stating this but rather than actually quote from it to try to prove your points, you simply state its pointless. That's a cop out and makes you just another Obama synchophant.

    Meanwhile, I have actually quoted findings DIRECTLY FROM THE REPORT and debunked one of your so called "answers"...that being that the laughable suggestion that Budget Cuts were the reason for lowered security in Benghazi.

    And it wasn't even me that debunked it...it was Senators in YOUR OWN PARTY who said this.

    I know you wish that was the last election ever. Unfortunately for you, it isn't.

    It is kind of hilarious to me that so many people express similar sentiments, apparently not even realizing that I didn't vote for the guy.

    Hardly a "sycophant," just see this situation for what it is: a security clusterf#ck in a somewhat hostile country. It isn't like 3,000+ Americans were killed in New York, though you wouldn't know it from the republican response.

    Reality check. The combination of budget cuts and more drastic security issues in other countries created a situation where there was a hole that anti-American zealots were able to exploit. It is a tragic situation, most of all for the families of the slain, but that's all it is, a tragic situation.

    I'm not a Democrat, I generally vote Libertarian.

    It was the only election since Benghazi. However, I dearly wish that you and your brethren keep beating on this terminated equine through 2016.

    All this arguing isn't getting us to the truth.

    Obama needs to have a sit down with Glenn Beck on national TV to finally clear the air once and for all.

    Doesn't change the fact that YOU WERE WRONG about who to blame for lack of security in Benghazi.

    Don't like the findings? Take it up with the Senate Committee report. You know, the one you keep telling us to read.

    baba booey is on to something; I have not heard Rand Paul or Ted Cruz disavow any prior knowledge of or connection to the Benghazi strike.

    What are they hiding?

    We need a special counsel.

    I admit I can't get the whole Benghazzi thing.

    I notice it tends to be especially disturbing to neo Confederate types. Is it perhaps a sort of delayed ptsd reaction to the South losing the Civil War?

    interesting that he left out... where was the outrage when we did not find WMD's in Iraq and caused not 4 but 175K people to die (military and civilians). More talking points but no substance....meh

    there's an uptick in ad hominem arguments as the true dimensions of the scandal unfold.

    there's an uptick in the doubling down of using blood of 9/11 by republicans. In this case it's actually another 9/11 ! But not original one ! NO SHAME.

    I'm trying to think of a more shameful way to promote an agenda then on the back of dead soldiers from iraq and 9/11 and then again this time around. I really can't. I was trying to help you out by posting about obamas aunt but apparently that's not sick enough.

    It's clear the *shame* gene simply doesn't fire with republicans.

    the irony that republicans are using manufactured reasons to promote an agenda is not lost on the majority of us.

    Whatever, this whole thing is just conservatives bringing up a past issue that can help fire up the base. They need something, and with Obamacare falling flat as a mid-term election issue, they need something else.

    Plus it's good to keep this issue alive in case Clinton runs. They will need some kind of baggage to wrap around her next.

    if you showed the same outrage with regards to the past administration's blunders on economy and blatant lies about the Iraq war - both had exponentially greater effects in this country relative to Benghazi, maybe somebody might listen. Otherwise, all of that is just posturing with no concrete evidence - just like that speaker who did not mention anything new.

    No, I keep telling you to read the House report, the one that listed budget cuts and higher security needs at other locations as contributing factors.

    One problem is that even if Gowdy issues subpoenas, the administration just ignores them. They know the Justice Dept. won't do anything, and they know the media won't do anything. Congress would be forced to arrest those that did not comply, and we know how that will go (not like House of Cards).

    It shows you how tenuous our system of rule of law truly is.

    So true. They can't lie about Obamacare as folks experience it.

    Benghazzi won't just cut it.

    I am getting increasingly upset and can't sleep at night I am so worried about Benghazzi. If we don't get to the bottom of this the Benghaziites might land in Galveston and get me.

    Any advice?

    If you were in Katy, I'd advise you to evacuate.

    Very simple and obvious. Does the "before" cover the Inflationary Epoch occurring at 10 to the -36th after the Big Bang?

    Or is it limited to some other time frame (or actually judging by Dr. Strangehammer's only audience, we must mean post-Diluvial....)

    Well, if that's the case, I think it's not very smart. Your base is shrinking and you look pathetic to those outside your base, which in turns, help with continuing to shrink your base.
