Baloney. That's politics. The fact is that the embassy was on alert, according to standard security procedure that has been in place on every anniversary of 9-11 since it happened, and they had the same level of security as every other embassy in the Middle East. This is nothing more than sour grapes and bitter bile after a smackdown repudiation by the American people at the polls. It's an attempt to grasp at straws to try to get some leverage on other issues, and it is going no where.

UH...this began before the election. The election has nothing to do with it. But nice try at liberal spin. You'll get there.

You are quite right. It is politics!

Do you deny the Background section points that end with the following comment?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Benghazi_attack

After the attack, CNN reported that a Benghazi security official and a battalion commander had met with U.S. diplomats three days before the attack and had warned the Americans about deteriorating security in the area. The official told CNN that the diplomats had been advised, "The situation is frightening, it scares us."[25]

Same link: Timeline Nov 16

Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified in closed hearings to both congressional intelligence committees. Speaking with reporters after the hearing, Representative Peter T. King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, said that Petraeus testified that he knew that the attack was a terrorist attack linked to al-Qaeda affiliates and not sparked by a protest over an anti-Islam video, as White House officials and President Obama had said for days afterwards.[235] "The original talking points put out by the CIA were different from what was later put out," King said. "Petraeus says his initial assessment was from the start it was a terrorist attack." King said a CIA analyst specifically told lawmakers that the al-Qaeda affiliates line "was taken out."[236]

It's OK, now that the November election is over this and more is being released. But, couldn't be released in September. What, the threat to national security longer exists?

You're right. It's politics.

Political positioning, 2 months BEFORE an election. that resulted in American's losing their lives.

Kirsten Powers “I don’t know. I think if he does though it could be, that kind of arrogance, which I think it would be, would be his undoing. Because if she is put under oath and is forced to go through and answer all of these questions about Benghazi, it’s going to put the administration into a really bad position. And I don’t think she was the frontrunner. I don’t understand where this came out of… It’s now become almost a sense of pride… His defense of her was fine but then it kind of went into an area that didn’t make sense.”

Just curious Rev. Were you upset when Condi Rice gave false testimony under oath in 1994?

Frankly I believe both women were made their statements after being given bad intelligence. I do not believe either was intentionally lying. Both were victims of intelligence failures.

If you were not upset over Condi's testimony your should not be upset now. After all Condi's testimony help lead us into Iraq the the death of thousands.

Susan Rice wasn't misled by intelligence. She had the right intelligence and either chose not to us it or was ordered to.

Just more obfuscation on your part. The two instances are not even remotely similar.
