Somebody either "cooked up" or is "cooking up" a story.......I wonder which it is.

Reminds me of that movie with Samuel L. Jackson, "Yeah I said it, Smoke them muh fuhhhherz!" Salmo, remember to keep it in context of the region. In that area of the World, it is not unusual for families or people to have caches of weapons in their basements or attics. They don't have the awesome gun control laws we do

Reuters: State never responded to two requests for more security in Benghazi posted at 10:01 am on October 10, 2012 by Ed Morrissey Former State Department security officer Eric Nordstrom will testify today to the House Oversight Committee about the security failures that led to the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi and the assassination of our Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens. Reuters got an advance look at his prepared testimony last night, and reports that not only did Nordstrom repeatedly request more security for the diplomatic mission, the State Department didn’t even bother to respond to his last two requests: http://hotair.com/archives/2012/10/10/re...ty-in-benghazi/

DBA......you're right.
I'm curious why I haven't seen a news station interview of what the family of J. Christopher Stevens thinks of this administration.

If you want to play "woulda, coulda, shoulda...", lets look at another scenario. What if an additional 6-12 security personnel would have been assigned to protect the Americans at the consulate and half of those were on duty at the time of the attack. The headlines coming from Benghazi could very well have read, "Ten Americans Killed in Libya". Do we even know today, how big a security force we should have sent to prevent four, or more, American deaths?
It's not my job to interpret the conflicting reports that came out of Washington in the days after the tragedy in Benghazi. There will be investigations. Hopefully, they will be as thorough as the investigation into Pat Tillman's death and the lies, deception, and stonewalling by the Bush administration that followed.

I don't want to play coulda, woulda, shoulda with this, too many games have been played with this matter already.

If you mean the Tillman tragedy and the spin that followed it, you damn right I was "dizzy". So dizzy I couldn't find my way through Krakauer's book, Where Men Win Glory without a flow chart showing the characters, connivers, and cover-ups.

Just takes a memory, Hank. I know most Republicans have flushed those memories long ago. Don't blame them, really.

So the spin continues to be that we only need for Obama to be a little better than Bush. He would have to start two unfunded wars, send our young people to die while fighting with the people that did not bomb the World Trade centers and give his buddies some of the largest tax cuts in history while exhausting the tax surplus of the previous president. So he would really have to step DOWN to reach the gutter that Bush lived in! Fishy

Keep up the spin..I'm looking for a card with an 11 on it. Shouldn't be too hard to find that card; they gave one to everybody that attended the 2004 Republican Special Olympics in New York City. It replaced the "honorable mention" and "participant" ribbons they usually hand out. It did make for a special moment when G. W. took the podium, and all those in attendance held up their "11" cards. You could hardly tell half of the cards were upside down. No, Obama doesn't have to be slightly better than George Bush. Romney is slightly better than Bush, and Obama is slightly better than him. There you go, "Mission Accomplished!"
