The facts haven't changed... And FauxNews/WorldNutDaily "spin" doesn't change them.
Yep... Repeating it with different spin doesn't alter the fact that the right-wing lies are still lies.
:faint: How did they know? Did they know the attacks would end at 11:55?
It is just more CYA that this administration loves so much.
And once again, shows a lack of prep before the important day of 9/11.
Supposedly Hilary is the best SofS ever but here she looks out of her depth.

Exactly. If a building collapses, we scramble for a week or more trying to find people... but with Benghazi, "well, nothing we can do now, so off to Vegas for a fundraiser". Patheticly poor leadership.

Must be a universal presidential failing, but there is only outrage if it's a Democrat as the President.
Bush decided to see Katrina's destruction for the first time from his jumbo jet and joked on his first trip to the disaster zone about youthful partying in New Orleans. He didn't cancel his vacation until two days after Katrina struck and didn't visit the region until four days after the storm.

Really.....the more you guys here push this partisan outrage the more hypocritical you look.
:rofllol You always think this comparison works but it really doesn't. I have noticed the righty posters here much more likely to rip the GOP and Bush than the lefites here attack the Democrats and Obama.
For example, the mortgage bubble was a combination of both parties thinking that putting people in homes they couldn't afford was a good thing and it really wasn't, it created a price bubble. Sure the economy grew, but it was built on a foundation of sand that washed away in the first storm.

I agree on the mortgage bubble....and way back when, when mortgage companies were handing out mortgages to anyone with a pulse, I condemned the practice......so what's your point?
Point made. The Right here is much more likely to go after Republicans than the Left is going to go after Democrats.
Another example? Senator Rubio(R) on his immigration bill is going to be taken advantage of by the Democrats. No more increased money for fencing and no better plan to limit illegal immigrants access to the labor market.

Per WSJ....A Select Committee has been requested.....bi-partisan in nature, it will be the vehicle WITH SUBPOENA POWERS AND
DEPOSITION AUTHORITY.
You (collectively) should REALLY review your willingness to PREMATURELY jump on the wagon of blame.....the factors are many and
the information is JUST NOW starting to emerge.
CIA, State Dept. ASSUMPTIONS of security (not), problems with security contractors/Libyan government, low bidding of sec. contractors, budget cuts,UNSTABLE country,indecisive designation for security level of Beneqgzhi, CIA activities (covert) that
would have jeopardized the area......the list goes on and on.....UNTANGLING this maze is a time consuming effort.....YES THERE WAS/IS
A PROBLEM, but who to assign blame/responsibility to is still up in the air....JMO
