Yep. The very definition of a terrorist attack is to kill people. I'm amazed you didn't know that.

Those "children" were serving in a dangerous place. They chose to serve there, knowing the risks. I'm certain their parents understand this, even if you do not.

It HAS happened, many times, since the '70s. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge that belies your claim that it's not a witch hunt.

Name one that comes close to Ken Starr's open checkbook. I agree that Benghazi won't come close--it will go down in history more like the birther "controversy," all smoke, no fire.

And like birthers, no one outside of their echo chamber will ever give them the time of day.
It is different. You have a state dept and administration that actively and knowingly lied repeatedly in order to win an election.

7:40 a.m. -- The first wave of Americans are evacuated to Tripoli via airplane.

10 a.m. -- A second group, including those killed in the attack, are flown to Tripoli.

The last two people were not killed until 5:15 am. 9:40-5:15 is 6 hours and 30 minutes, and that's according to the CIA.

Obama did in fact go to bed, and people died. It took them 8 hours to even start evacuating people to Tripoli.

Are you not the least bit embarrassed that you just totally, blatantly lied?
I was referring to the initial attack on the Embassy and didn't notice the 2nd attack in the timeline. Sue me.

This has an accounting:
Ex-Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty: CIA workers, not State Dept. - UPI.com

And they don't disapoint do they? And it actually gets quite sickening, we all know Obama by now, does not know how this happened, the other side, i'll get back to you when i check into this, blah blah blah.

Clinton looked like the biggest dweed up there, talking about this situation, actaully it was like she was trying to convince herself of her own lies.
Don't care what any of you think know me by now. If one of the 4 who died were my child, i would be demanding answers into why this happened and not since the 1970's has an action as this taken place.
Oh yea, when one of the mothers spoke a cd liberal posted that "she was flapping her trap". Nice huh.

uh huh, spinning just like a liberal.

Extremists linked to Al Qaeda stormed the U.S. Consulate and a nearby annex on Sept. 11, in a heavily armed and well-coordinated eight-hour assault that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans.

Oh that is right, it was because of the video and how long did you say it was? I think 1 hours???

LOL. Nice roundup of wing nut talking points. Don't see a single witch hunt there, though.

Clinton and a key aide effectively tried to cut the department's own counterterrorism bureau out of the chain of reporting and decision-making.

Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG) is an interagency group that specializes in both hostage situations and any terror attack on U.S. interests. CSG was never convened during or after the attack. It is designed to “synchronize the efforts of all the government agencies that have a role to play in the Global War on Terrorism.” The CSG has multiple options and the ability to coordinate counterterrorism assets across all the agencies

Obama has repeatedly stated that he immediately gave instructions to secure Americans in harm’s way, it is still unclear to whom he gave these instructions. What is clear is that they were not given to the people who were actually in a position to help.

You can speculate all you want. It was a terrible event. According to the link
Quote:
the assault went quiet around 1 a.m., the officials said in a written account that said the pause lasted until almost daybreak and apparently led CIA and State Department officials to think the danger had passed.
Initial reports and assumptions were wrong. What do you want as a remedy?
