Did they ask for help and help was denied? Did Bush make up a story about a video, a story that was a lie from the beginning? That Obama ran with for a week or more? No. Not comparable in any way shape or form.

Please sweetie....you're not trying to tell the folks that THIS has something to do with 50 years ago are you.
the fact is, they found 4.5 million for art in 2009 and Hilliary says there wasn't enough money for a few Marines for Benghazi ?....
What the hell....you gotta pay those Marines no matter where the hell they eat or sleep....whether its Norfolk, Va. or Benghazi....
You're tenacious as all hell but it only exposes your extreme partisanship and gullibility....
That's right, keep blaming Bush!
So when over 3000 Americans were killed in Iraq, was that Bush's fault? Their superiors failed to send help!
A shout-out to Howey for this.
Conservatives are out in force this morning claiming Lara Logan's segment on CBS' 60 Minutes is evidence their yearlong effort to convert the tragedy in Benghazi into a political scandal was warranted. Far from it -- it is the latest Benghazi Hoax.
From watching the 60 Minutes segment, you would be led to believe there is a "lingering question" involving the U.S. military's response to the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya. The report did not let viewers know that an anti-terrorism team was deployed from Spain, along with Special Forces based in the United States and Croatia. None of these forces even made it to Libya until 11 hours after our diplomatic and CIA teams had been evacuated.
Furthermore, the belief that the military did not do everything it could to rescue those in Benghazi has been contradicted by former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, and former Secretaries of Defense Leon Panetta and Robert Gates.
Claims that the military didn't do everything it could to help those in Benghazi go hand-in-hand with the conspiracy that a "stand down" order was issued to a Special Forces team in Tripoli. Even congressional Republicans have debunked this claim:
"Contrary to news reports, Gibson was not ordered to 'stand down' by higher command authorities in response to his understandable desire to lead a group of three other special forces soldiers to Benghazi."
While those interviewed during the 60 Minutes report decried the lack of funding for embassy security, the program failed to note:
For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department's Worldwide Security Protection program -- well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration's request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012.
The 60 Minutes piece follows the same pattern as every other element of The Benghazi Hoax we've witnessed for the past 13 months. Supposedly new revelations promoted by different media outlets are simply worn-over versions of the same hoaxes debunked months before; context that would provide critical information to viewers or readers is missing; and the right-wing media exaggerate the new allegations to something unrecognizable from the original report.
Nothing in the 60 Minutes report implicated Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in any wrongdoing leading up to the attack in Benghazi -- in fact their names were never mentioned. But conservatives are already on the attack against the president and former secretary of state. Evidence, context, and truth don't matter as long as tragedy can be converted into political scandal.
Already this morning, cheered on by Fox News, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is using the CBS report as the pretext for blocking every Obama appointment before the United States Senate until "the survivors [of Benghazi] are being made available to the Congress" -- never mind that they have already answered questions from numerous investigators and that the Senate has access to those interviews.
Once again, rather than do the country's business, conservatives, led by their media, would rather halt the work of government in an attempt to score political points with their base.

Youn really are a dim bulb Obama butt kisser.
Yeah; CBS is a Conservative news source and used 60 minutes to further the despicable Conservative effort to actually find the truth.
You really THAT repugnantly stupid.
No dimwit; he's trying to claim that CBS is a right wing think tank. But you're a dimwit and too stupid to think for yourself so why would you comprehend anything beyond your retarded efforts to mime DNC talking points.
But not only are you really THAT dumb, but an incredidbly retarded hypocrite in that you were fine when dimwitted Democrats played politics with our troops fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq they were for before they saw political gain in being against it.
But then, you really are THAT repugnantly retarded.
Because you are an incredibly stupid Obama appologist, it wouldn't occur to you that Benghazi was the result of the painful incompetence of an inept and inexperienced, out of touch buffoon like Obama.
Our allies recognized well in advance of this event the threat terrorists posed and had PULLED out their missions. The dimwits of this administration were arrogant and dumb enough to believe that our mission couldn't possibly be attacked. After all, didn't we HELP liberate them from that despot Kaddafi?
But then, after getting caught with their pants down, the twits in charge decided they would blame these attacks on a video produced in AmeriKa that had never been seen and claim it was "spontaneous" knowing gullible brain dead dimwits like you would believe it.
Yes, you really are THAT pathetic and stupid.

wow.....
is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that truth deflector's posts all start sounding the same after a while? heavy on repetitive insults, and extremely light on intelligent content.
I've seen this moronic defense before; it was just as stupid then as it is now. But in true dimwit fashion you bring it up again as if there is any relevance.
But then, you're a dimwit Obama butt kissing retard. How could we possibly expect more?
Benghazi is a scandal because of the desperate efforts this Administration during an election year to blame everyone else BUT themselves using false claims and assertions, and to this day, undermining any attempts to get the facts.
But again, you really are THAT stupid.
There you have it from the brain dead retardo Obama appologist left; it's all Ambassador Stevens fault!
Yes, you really are that repugnantly ignorant.
Have some cheese with your effeminate whine dimwit. How else can one respond to the repugnant ignorance you and the cabal of leftist dullards spew on this blog?
Yes, you really are THAT pathetic and THAT stupid.
Your dog is calling; he needs your leg again.

I don't need to prove that you’re an ignorant dimwit; you do that every time you post here.
But alas, because you really are THAT stupid, you cannot begin to comprehend the obvious.
Did you want to add anything to the OP; or just troll the forum with your typical ignorant effeminate whining?

and once again, truth deflector is heavy on insults and light on substance. why am I not surprised?
Regarding the OP, I think that Benghazi will be very similar to what Obama's birth certificate was previously: good and tasty red meat for the rabid base, but nothing that the center of the bell curve is ever gonna care about. President-to-be Hillary Clinton will not spend too much time worrying about right wing wackos salivating over Benghazi in her march to the Oval Office... but, by all means, keep ranting about it. Remember how well that worked against Obama... the supposedly kenyan muslim marxist! LOL

Does for you. Can you say the same for the embassy in Nairobi, for example?

Are you blaming Hillary in 2012 for a budget decision that was made in 2009? When Benghazi/Libya was still firmly under the thumb of Qaddafi? Dang, that's lame, Popeye.
And getting back to the Kindle business... IT NEVER HAPPENED after all. *Another shout out to Howey* So all your angst-y whining was for nothing.
July 5, 2013 · 10:02 am What Sunk the State Dept’s $16.5 Million Kindle Acquisition? A Complaint. Plus Missing Overall Goals
—By Domani Spero
Remember that $16.5 million multi-year Kindle acquisition that almost happened under the auspices of the IIP Bureau in August last year? (See State Dept’s Winning Hearts and Minds One Kindle at a Time Collapses …. Presently Dead). Well, it turned out that while the no-bid contract for 2,500 e-readers at a cost of $16.5 million had been cancelled, IIP had actually already deployed a first batch of 2,000 eReaders to overseas posts. The OIG inspection report did not say how much that first batch of eReaders cost, or how much was the contract for the content. The report does include the reason why that sole source contract was cancelled, the real reason not the spin. Below an excerpt from the OIG report on the IIP Bureau:
When asked about the cancellation of the Amazon sole-source contract, this is what the State Department told the Digital Reader last year:
“In order to conduct additional market research and further explore technological options for our public diplomacy programs, the Department of State opted on August 15 to end the Request for Proposals for the Amazon Kindle in favor of proceeding with a Request for Information (RFI) process. This action will open to all vendors the opportunity to respond to the Department’s requirements for a mobile learning program.”
In fact, the real reason for its cancellation according to the OIG report is a protest from an unnamed organization citing non-compliance of the selected eReader with Section 508 requirements. It did not help that the eReader initiative also did not have an overall goal besides handing the Kindles out.
