Great Article: The real Libya scandal: The failure to respond. If Obama does not respond to this Embassy attack, he deserves to lose IMHO!
It took less than four weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, for the Bush administration to gather intelligence, plan the full-scale invasion of Afghanistan and begin executing Operation Enduring Freedom. By October 7, 2001, multinational forces from the United States, Britain and Australia were on the ground, linking up with friendly Afghan forces, overthrowing the Taliban and driving al-Qaeda from the haven from which they had attacked our country.
By contrast, it is now Oct. 11 — four weeks after the attack of Sept. 11, 2012 — and the Obama administration has barely gotten a criminal investigation off the ground. The Post reported this week that while President Obama has vowed to “bring to justice” those responsible for the attacks, “nearly one month later, the White House has not spelled out how it plans to do so, even if it is able to identify and capture any suspects.... An unproductive, slow-moving investigation is complicating matters, with the FBI taking three weeks to reach the unsecured crime scene.”
Three weeks to reach the “crime scene”? Within days, CNN reporters were able to rummage through the rubble and recover the ambassador’s diary, and Post reporters were able to access and photograph the destroyed diplomatic compound. But the administration can’t get the FBI to the scene for three weeks? It should come as no surprise that the Obama administration is treating the attack as a crime — but it can’t even get the criminal investigation right.
Now why isn't that the story of the mainstream media rather than who in the hell is going to fund big bird.... LOL

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said Thursday that the “entire reason” the terrorist attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans has “become the political topic it is” is because Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan talk about the attack.

The little princess is an employee of the people and she is "required" to speak the truth when representing the government to the people. She has violated the "code of conduct".
I don't give a pass to anyone representing government in tax payer funded jobs a pass on telling lies. They get no second change. But just because some pundit biased propaganda machine says something is a lie doesn't make it so. And there is a difference between a lie, and changing positions on an issue. For example, Obama said he would close Gitmo but he later changed his mind when the ramifications of such a thing were made clear to him. That's not a lie unless he knew all along he wasn't going to close Gitmo. Ditto for Romney who has said 20% tax cuts across the board, but now qualifies that as not applying to the rich.
Now when Obama says he will unite the folks under open televised debate for major government policy decisions such as AHA, and he never even makes the first attempt to do so, that's a lie. When Romney gets into office and he immediately refuses to support repeal of AHA, that's a lie.
Laffy you should know that for me, all things Romney are not automatically good. I don't think he is lie free. I completely disagree with any control over a women's body. If she wants to discard a fetus, cut off her hair, tatoo her ass, I don't give a crap... it's her body. When you begin to realize that Mr. Obama ain't no saint and is deserving of a lot of criticism, you'll be a much happier person.
Reporters given permission to go much easier than a United States Government Investigative agency personnel. The critical difference the article fails to point out is Afghanistan did not have government recognized by any country other than Pakistan. So, what is the difference?
Bush government simply went in after declaring war did the SME damn thing in Iraq with lies. Libya is completely different situation. Libya has duly elected democratic government recognized and supported by majority of countries in the world including the Organization of Islamic Countries, The African Union, Eu and the United Nations. So, international laws doesn't allow you to just walk in.
I understand that the Republican Answer is to start war with every country. Go in guns blazing, ask questions later and get Americans killed in the process.
All this pure political manure. The Ambassador knows everything when it comes the country they are in. The people harping about this, knows all about it if they don't they are not doing their job.
Misleading the uninformed is what they are ding along with partisan hacks writing the crap.
