OR, will Obama take the blame tonight at the debate?...sm - Liberty

Fat chance Obama will ever take the blame. - backwards typist

So what part do you think GOP funding cuts - for embassy security played?

Budget had nothing to do with it. - backwards typist

Part of the funding of the State Department for 2012 included this:

"Provides $47 billion in funding for the Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), an increase of 1 percent,  when excluding Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) resources. Significant levels of funding are continued for operations and assistance in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Savings have been created through foreign assistance reductions in several countries.

A couple of days after the attack, Obama issued this statement: "I have directed my administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe."

If this could be done after the attack, why couldn't it have been done when the request was originally made?  Is there any evidence that the original request was given consideration and then rejected because of the budget? Charlene Lamb, the State Department official who fielded security requests from the Libya U.S. diplomatic officials had said that money wasn’t the reason for the slim security in Libya.

"It has been suggested that budget cuts are responsible for a lack of security in Benghazi, and I’d like to ask Miss Lamb,” said Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R., Calif.). “You made this decision personally. Was there any budget consideration and lack of budget which lead you not to increase the number of people in the security force there?”
“No, sir,” said Lamb.

No matter how the democratic side tries to spin this as budget cuts, it just wasn't the reason. The State Department just refused to grant extra security. Period. 

There is as much evidence to support my claims - as there is to support yours

So, you don't believe someone who testified UNDER OATH - backwards typist

I don't think a viable judgment can be made - in the middle of the hearings process when

Ooo- "Obama takes absolute responsibility for this" - backwards typist

Does this mean you are admitting your "fat chance" post was - wr-wr-wr-wrong? nm

Nope. It didn't come from him. It came from his campaign spokesperson. (nm) - backwards typist

Oh yes it did. - Clear as a bell during the debate. nm

Obama did not even answer the question about - refusing more security.. avoided it ! nm

Did he or did he not assume responsibility for - the attack? Yes or no?

Shoot! They worked out a deal back in 2008 - anon
