Security dwindled before deadly Libyan consulate attack

[BostonPirate]

I just wonder...

could the thin security have anything to do with the fact that Republicans cut funding for embassy security? BBC reports:

where did you get that?

I would love to read the whole thing!

^^^

Just for the record ... 149 democrats voted to reduce funding for embassy security --- two more than republicans.

Over 75% of democrats voted to reduce the spending. Only a little over 40% of republicans voted to reduce the spending.

You want to rephrase your accusation? or is the hate for anyone not a liberal too big?

Thanks for that, Kuli! That's hilarious.

Republicans cut embassy security, then (once again) blame Obama for failing to stop them from being stupid!

Anyone watch CNN ? Live coverage

Not a pretty story

And I live the extension of the "blame bush" narrative

Not going to go over with the American public

And it shouldn't

Scary how reflexively some here pivot and point

It's involuntary it seems

Obama - Hillary - much to explain

My how the worm begins to turn.

I wonder if they did it with the thought that it would lead to some event that could then be blamed on someone else?

There's an old saying. Once you've dug yourself into a hole, the first step in getting out is to stop digging. Our friends on the left haven't figured that out yet. Let them keep digging. It's getting worse for Odumbo by the day.

You count on that working out for you that way. Romney is NOT trusted with national security and the PRESIDENT has double digit leads over him on foreign policy with voter confidence.

if you want to play in the mud pit at the expense of american heroes, just to score a few political points? It appears that you have absolute glee that people died... just for the chance to get at Obama... and that?

Not classy, tacky, unpatriotic, and disrespectful to the dead.

But you go ahead. Revel in american deaths. It does nothing but make people lose respect for ALL of your opinions in the process, cause the crap being peddled in this thread? It only flies on FOX and Beck... but not in a civilized society or discussion.

THIS criminal is in charge of these so called hearings. Talk abiout crooks

http://whohijackedourcountry.blogspot.com/2012/06/darrell-issas-long-criminal-record.html

Guess I shouldn't be surprised, since the only 2 Attorneys General to go to prison were both republicans

 

[BostonPirate]

Issa?

Another one of his Witch hunts that go no where and cost the tax payers millions?

If only he spent all that time writing jobs bills, we would be in a much better place than we are. But you know.... Gotta get the Black Guy in office. People get thrown in the gutter, farmers bills lay dead on the table, written jobs bills never get votes called for... but Issa will have his kangaroo court.

I should have figured.

He is the Slime on the floor at the all night peep show. Actually.. that's insulting to the slime on the floor at the peep show.

All I found when I googled "darrell issa criminal record" was the author's article and a bunch of left wing blog sites -- no legitimate sites in the first two pages.

Just so you're aware -- Issa is the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. It is his job to investigate issues like he was today.

BP you said earlier in CEP that you knew one of the men that were murdered. I don't understand why you are not interested in what happened.

 

[chance1]

Wow !!'

It's as if some don't want to know the truth

Unless it involves Republican malfeasance

Yech .........

We are all accountable ...... Especially elected officials whose primary role is to protect the lives of American citizens

And above we hear many brutally cynical dodges

What looked apparent weeks ago now appears moreso

Ironic that the campaign that focuses all their time on their opponents faux "lies" - a narrative that is negative, unbecoming and contrary to the elected concept (hope and change)

Is now caught doing that

Except this is real and people are dead

It's very hard to stomach

This is not about Romney btw

two years ago you told me something and I will now repeat it back to you

YOU DON'T get it. The HOUSE controls the purse strings. You guys cut spending? you live with the deaths that it created, and roll around in the mud as you do so.

 

[BostonPirate]

BP you said earlier in CEP that you knew one of the men that were murdered. I don't understand why you are not interested in what happened.

I know more about what happened than you buddy, that's for sure. I am a friend of the family, I was not his friend, although I spent time with him at a function once, but only the breifest of hello's happened.

His family is offended by the republican attempts to politicize this. He knew what he was doing and he knew it was dangerous. They blame no one but the terrorists, and consider him a hero.

I want the truth, but I guarantee you, it won't come from Issa, that's for sure.

 

[MassRuss]

I'm well aware of who & what Issa is.

STEP AWAY FROM YOUR CAR......Viper, appropriately named.

He was accused twice of robbing cars, was arrested for having a gun in his glove compartment, driving the wrong way on a one way street, suspected of arson. If he were a Democrat, Issa would be screaming for his resignation...& so would you.

He's the richest member of congress. no doubt by scamming for government funds. Friends of mine know him, they became totally disillusioned with Issa & the Republican party, because of Issa & political hackiness, & W's lies, which of course Issa backed to the hilt

Shame on both parties for those who voted to reduce spending....but truth in this case ultimately mean the buck has to stop with the man in charge. He doesn't wear that aspect of his presidency well at all. When you are losing the narrative, spin like hell. Change the story a number of times. Anything but accept responsibility. Amusing how the finger gets pointed by the progressives ONLY back at Republicans who are hypocritical.... but not to the 75% of House Dems who were even more resoundingly on board with the cuts. And certainly NOT to the guy paid to make the big decisions...certainly with the increased level of activity in the months leading up to the attack the administration should have put whatever it could in securing the embassy.

 

[BostonPirate]

nonsense

The GOP controlled what spending bills were allowed to come up for a vote. This is Boehner's mess.

You can actually ignore the vote?

With control of the house of reps, the GOP accepted responsibility for the purse strings. How many times has the PRESIDENT been rebuked by them?

The last obscenity they perpetrated on our men and women in uniform was with the senate fillibuster of the Vet education and jobs bill. It was actually written by four GOPpers and the very men that wrote it voted to filibuster it. It doesn't take a genius to see what has happened here.

Everyone has a hard on in the GOP for cutting spending instead of raising revenue, and now we got what we paid for. You want to reconsider all those foolhardy cuts? Own it. It's YOUR party. Cry if you want to.

where did you get that?
