Did you hear the reporters asking Obama questions this morning while Obama was taking a break from debate prep? One of the questions asked of Obama was,"Is Hillary to blame for Benghozi?" Well, Obama wouldn't answer the question, but he did answer the other questions that reporters asked him.

All I know is that this is one big mess...and THESE people are in charge of keeping us safe???!!!

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

After all, he's still blaming Bush for the problems with the economy.

Listened to Andy Card today. He knows exactly who should know what in the government since he served under 3 Presidents. Hopefully, I can find the story.

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

[ In Reply To ..]
Speaking of CYA activities, it really should come as no surprise to anyone exactly why the GOP is trying so hard to politicize this, other than the obvious benefits they think they will reap in the election.

Paul Ryan, Darrell 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. 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 at the time. From where I sit, trying to stretch an inadequate budget all the way around the globe and back again just might be a factor.

Of note, 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.

Do you suppose the prez will bring THAT up in the debate?

Budget had nothing to do with it. - backwards typist

2012 Funding Highlights:

• Provides $51.6 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), an increase of 1.6 percent, or $0.8 billion over the 2012 enacted level when including Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) resources. Within

tightly capped budget constraints, the Budget makes investments in key priorities including

the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, plus continues funding for critical initiatives

such as global health, climate change and food security.

• State Department and USAID OCO programs are described along

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 due consideration and then rejected for budgetary reasons? 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. 

 


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.

There is as much evidence to support my claims - as there is to support yours
[ In Reply To ..]
that there is a "coverup" afoot. Trying to assess this or discuss it in the absence of FACTS, that should be forthcoming all in good time, is an exercise in futility. I know the GOP wants this to be a fait accompli before Nov 6, but sorry, that's not possible and is not gonna happen. Nothing definitive has been established, despite your repeated insistence that this is a done deal. These are opinions you are entitled to, nothing more.

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

that budget wasn't the problem?

You don't believe the 2012 BUDGET by the White House?

Truth in black and white from YOUR SIDE YET, and you still deny it. Unbelievable.
I don't think a viable judgment can be made - in the middle of the hearings process when
[ In Reply To ..]
all evidence from all sides is yet to be heard. I also do no think the committee hearing is the only source from which this information should be gleaned. There is an FBI inquiry and an independent investigation. I'm a lot more interested in the explanations from the living, breathing security professionals who actually made these decisions than I am in partisans whose motives are highly questionable.

Once again, we have not heard all the facts, so there is nothing here to discuss other than personal opinions.

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

according to Jen Psaki, Obama campaign spokesperson.

So, now he's admitting it? Let's hear it for sure.

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