1. I don't get it

They really are obsessed with this for some reason. What exactly is this "scandal" they are raging about?

[SummerSnow]

2. This has a twofold purpose..

1.Anything to get Obama
2.Anything to get Hillary Clinton if she runs for POTUS
3.Anything to get Obama

[4 t 4]

20. why even post this, Fox is the only

station that Ever brings this up anymore. right

[SummerSnow]

25. Youre right.

[Skittles]

5. they know they'll never have a stained dress with Obama

so they have to create "scandals"

[Suich]

7. I think, it's that the US could have sent more troops in

during the battle, and thereby possibly saved Amb. Stevens and others, but refused to do so. Faux is also po'ed because the White House didn't call it a terrorist attack from the beginning.

It's bigger that Watergate, doncha know?

Welcome to DU, Dwayne Hicks!

[cliffordu]

14. That was discussed during the hearings

Not enough time to get the troops there.

[Suich]

19. Yeah, I saw that.

I was quoting the nitwits at FAUX.

It will be interesting to see what these "afraid for my life", anonymous whistle-blowers have to say.

How's the elbow, btw?

[cliffordu]

22. Much better.

I'll get the staples out a week from Monday. I can move it a little now and the swelling is almost gone.

On ibuprophin only, no more vicorprophin.

Oh, and beer of course...

[hrmjustin]

9. Welcome to DU my friend!

[Cha]

11. The gopricks are tying to cover up the FACT that they wouldn't approve

more Money for Security at Benghazi.

Welcome to DU

[Boomerproud]

3. When will someone in the MSM call McCain (and his conjoined twin Graham) out on this for their

outright hypocrisy? Never evidently.

[RudynJack]

4. The cartoon

would be much better without the hand covering the number 4.

[L0oniX]

6. Fucking Bencrazy!

[Thinkingabout]

8. In the Bush adminstration there was 11 attacks on US facilities and 53 deaths, the GOP has

Blood on their hands. I am waiting to see which GOP stands up and brags about cutting the state department. There was a briefing in which many of the crybabies choose not to attend, is this a conspiracy to continue to wail about Benghazi cover up when they decided not to attend the briefing.

[Beacool]

10. Ben Ghazi?

Sorry, never met him.

[Cha]

12. thanks for this perfect Graphic, bigtree, that illustrates the

gop Hypocrisy.

[Dwayne Hicks]

13. Thats what it is?

It seems like its hugely blown out of proportion, simply because he didn't utter the phrase terrorist attack?? And that he supposedly did nothing during the attack? What about the republicans who cut embassy security?

Thanks for the welcome!

[Initech]

15. Where is the, um, accountability for the FOURTEEN embassy attacks that happened under W?

Most in American history!!! One happens under Obama and they turn into apes flinging their feces at each other.

[Shrike47]

16. Obama and Clinton should have sent in troops right away and somehow saved the Americans.

They ignore any/all problems with communications, availability of response troops, sovereign foreign country, etc.

[sheshe2]

17. Excellent graphic!

Well done, bigtree.

[Iliyah]

18. This type of shit went non stop

with Pres Clinton. What GOPers are doing now will backfire on them 24/7. Americans want good paying jobs, good health care, and a good retirement plan to secure their future. The GOPers are not concerned about the everyday Americans.

[No Vested Interest]

21. One thought re Benghazi not seen elsewhere-

is my thought that Ambassador Stevens took undue risk going to Benghazi, inasmuch as insufficient security was not posted there.

Out of respect for Ambassador Stevens, who thus died in service to his country, this thought has not been advanced by the administration and the press.

Just as soldiers at times make mistakes and pay with their lives, State Dept. representatives also commit errors. In this case the Ambassador was so comfortable with his knowledge of the local culture and language he seemingly thought he could handle any circumstance. Unfortunately, he was wrong.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

23. Wouldn't put it quite like that myself

However, Libya just overthrew a long-term despot and was/is a very volatile spot where one's safety, unfortunately, cannot always be guaranteed and where *stuff* is likely to happen. It was a tragedy to be sure but the best way to handle with such things is to figure out what we can do to make our embassies/consulates safer in more dangerous parts of the world. The GOP response, as usual, has been entirely overly hysterical, off-base, counterproductive, and, to top it all off, hypocritical in their zeal to take President Obama and former SOS Hillary Clinton down (hopefully in advance of the 2014 and 2016 elections, respectively).

[No Vested Interest]

24. You are absolutely correct re

securing embassies and consulates today and in the future.

And, I believe the Republicans are having some success in sullying Sec. Clinton's record and reputation, inasmuch as she is not in the public eye at this time, i.e., that vacuum is being filled with the Fox/GOP meme, which is being taken up in the national media, now that more hearings re Benghazi will be held shortly.

[liberal N proud]

26. BINGO!
