I guess "medicine and humanitarian aid" is code for weapons.
You got it. Millions is pouring into the region supposedly for the refugees, but who's paying attention to where it goes? Are we really supposed to trust Kerry?

Did you ever think it was for medicine and humanitarian aid ? For any country we've given it to ?
If that were true then they would have given the money to the Red Cross.

The only revelation was that the State Dept lobbied to remove the terrorist involvement and the CIA claim of multiple warnings. There is no indication who actually chose to remove the terrorist observation.

The story of course never had much traction as it was pretty clear from early on that an organized attack had occurred.

There are still no indications of any WH involvement except perhaps refereeing between State and CIA.

On balance the only one to feel bad for was Rice who was set up by an intra government battle.

The liberal media's part during the elections.

MSNBC host Chris Matthews, surveying his Florida audience ahead of the final presidential debate, encountered a combative Mitt Romney supporter on Monday night.

Their encounter became tense when the supporter suggested that members of Obama’s administration were disingenuous when they claimed the attack in Benghazi in September happened spontaneously during a protest over an insulting YouTube video.

“Read a newspaper,” Chris Matthews said. “Everybody knows it’s all about the video. It’s all about the video.”

One other point: The significant edits - deleting references to al Qaeda and the CIA's warnings - came after a White House meeting on the Saturday before Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on five Sunday shows. Nuland, a 30-year foreign service veteran who has served under Democratic and Republican Secretaries of State, was not at that meeting and played no direct role in preparing Rice for her interviews.

Other than that, of course. Nothing to see here, move along...

Are you drinking? How is that revelation that you now admit happened, not a big thing? They wanted to hide the fact that they ignored warnings and didn't have proper security. And you don't want to find out why and who denied it?

Amd clearly, they knew they failed on security the day after, so they were well aware of the security requests all along.

Again, THEY CHANGED TALKING POINTS BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID HOW BAD IT MADE THEM LOOK!!!! They said as much. And YOU say there is nothing there, as if that isn't big enough revelation????

That was sick, to knowingly lie into the face of a grieving mother, shows how callous and dishonest Hilary is. Hilary illustrated that she sees no ethical barrier she will not cross where politics is involved.

The change of substance was removing the terrorist reference and the CIA warnings.

All concerned had to be aware that the talking points would not stand long. So still the mystery of why.

Yes, Sean Smith's mother said Hillary told her that she will make sure the film producer was arrested and prosecuted. I remember when she was on TV saying that, a c-d member posted that Sean Smith's mother was (exact words) "flapping her trap".

Here is more liberal media. “Today Show” Fawns Over Hillary Showing “True Emotion” Over Benghazi, Not So Concerned Over Her Lying To Parents Of Dead.

Natalie Morales gushed: “She was speaking passionately about, you know, that heat of the moment. And also, you know, I think she just loved those people [who died in Benghazi]. So that was true emotion.” See the video of of the fawning
