"Dana Bash, Matt Lauer, Soledad O'Brien, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Politico Chuck Todd, Dave Weigel, The New York Times… This is just a short list of mainstream media members who apparently don't want the truth to come out about Libya. No doubt, they would argue against that statement, but how else to explain the crusade they've all joined over the last 24 hours to trash Senator John McCain as a lying, obsessed Captain Ahab still bitter over his 2008 loss to Barack Obama?"............
All they ever had to do was tell the truth from the beginning.
This is the Obama Administration cluster *%@$.
They lied.....and people died.
How does the administration protect it's citizens here and abroad if they cannot be honest about what is obvious to many people in this country.
"What is clear is that this administration, including the president himself, has intentionally misinformed -- read that, lied -- to the American people in the aftermath of this tragedy," said Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California, a GOP member of the House Foreign Affairs committee that on Thursday convened a panel of experts not directly connected with the Benghazi attack. "The arrogance and dishonesty reflected in all of this is a little bit breathtaking."
A lie just more naturally comes out of their mouth than the truth. Constant spin. Really a video on You-Tube with only 400 views killed a US ambassador?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Trailers for ‘Innocence of Muslims’, the low-budget film which has sparked violent protests throughout the Muslim world and led to the deaths of four Americans, including Libya ambassador Christopher Stevens, have been viewed by more than ten million people according to video analytics company Visible Measures.
The company has identified 320 different clips of the film on the Internet, most found on YouTube. The most widely watched clip, which lasts one minute and 30 seconds, has 3.63 million views. Viewers have left 90,000 comments across different versions of the trailer.

For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department's Worldwide Security Protection program -- well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration's request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012. (Negotiations with the Democrat-controlled Senate restored about $88 million of the administration's request.) Last year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans' proposed cuts to her department would be "detrimental to America's national security" -- a charge Republicans rejected.
Ryan, Issa and other House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut $1.2 billion from State operations, including funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions. Under Ryan's budget, non-defense discretionary spending, which includes State Department funding, would be slashed nearly 20 percent in 2014, which would translate to more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security.
It is still too early for the slinging of accusations and the holding of hearings.....let the investigation into the incident continue and see what the results are. Yesterday's fiasco was one of the most blatantly partisan hack jobs I have seen in a long time....and in trying to embarrass Obama and give Romney some much needed foreign policy help they not only caused the GOP to look vengeful, but they endangered the safety of CIA agents in Libya and the classified nature of what they are doing there.
