So if it comes out today that indeed a stand down order was given to prevent any special forces from attempting to help, what will you liberals say then?

Judging from how you didn't give a damn that we repeatedly ignored requests for extra security, I take it you'll care even about this. I seriously dont know how you can sleep at night, defending this Admin. It takes a special sort of horrible person to do so.

Prior to Benghazi, I bet most of the people who voted for Obama wouldn't have known who Susan Rice was. And I bet if you took a poll today and asked "Who is Susan Rice?" there are still many who wouldn't know.

There are very few former US Ambassadors to the UN that standout and are memorable. She isn't going to be one of them, other than be remembered for her "it was a video" statements. She certainly is no Madeline Albright who went from being US Ambassador to the UN to the first female US Secretary of State, who is still in the public eye and people still ask for her opinions on matters.
You ever watch Jay Leno asking people in the streets who the most famous people in government are. Most people are painfully ignorant. They could name who some useless celebrity is dating, but among younger Americans, how their country works is just not "entertaining enough".

Democrats stand behind their president in the face of terrorism and present a united front to the world. That's why you don't recall the aftermath of any of these attacks. Just once, it would be nice to see Republicans put country first in the same way, but that will never happen with this bunch.
So now looking for the truth is called a witch hunt? Liberals, and their "ends justify thei means" mentality disgusts me.

Which of course is a lie. The president called it an act of terror the very next morning in the Rose Garden. I know, I know, he said "an act of terror" and not "terrorist attack." Horrors! He didn't use the "right" words as far as Republicans are concerned! THAT CALLS FOR AN INVESTIGATION!!

Don't you guys ever get tired of looking so stupid?
14 days after the attack, while addressing the UN, Obama blamed the video. In the Rose Garden, he called it an attack because he believed the protest about the video was an attack. So yes, he called it terrorism, but he still LIED and blamed the video for weeks after the attack.

The statement is general but is clearly in the context of Benghazi. Actually clever in the way of politicians.

Remember at this point the President is being very careful. He likely is not fully sure of exactly what happened - particularly with respect to the CIA operation in the Annex. He does not want to pull an Eisenhower and then have Powers appear.
Then why did he blame the video during an address to the UN on September 25th?

I don't think so, not at this point. Anyone with a brain knows Rice didn't come up with this all on her own, she was given marching orders and followed them. What needs to come out is who was the general giving the orders and who altered the facts.

Amd lets not forget the little reported fact that right after this happened, we spent thousands on ads in foreign Muslim countries condemning the video, using clips of Hillary and Obama.

It's not a witch hunt when the name Bush is attached, then it's a fact finding mission.

I do find it interesting that they're having hearings today about a new ambassador for Libya. Wonder who'd be crazy enough to take that job and that candidate better be wondering if the administration is trying to get rid of him/her?

Hey, maybe Rice will be the new Libya sitting duck.
