The president will be asked about why there was more security in the embassy. I have no doubt he

will provide an adequate response, but will romney be asked about his constant positions which reverse themselves every hour? I doubt it

1. I hope that he knocks it out of the park because this Libya thing is really bad.

[DURHAM D]

2. Before the next Presidential debate

our SOS will likely do some media to explain what happened. That should tamp down the interest.

[still_one]

4. one would hope so

3. "So, Governor Romney, where do you stand on abortion today?"

[still_one]

6. and almost every other issue also

5. More security at the embassy than the consulate?

Or why there wasn't more security at the consulate?

[DollarBillHines]

7. It would not have made any difference.

The outpost would have been over-run.

This wasn't some some Rambo-like wet dream.

Two or three additional guards would have only have been two or three more casualties.

Get real, 'pubs.

8. Because a GOP House, goaded by Darrell Issa, voted AGAINST PROPERLY FUNDING IT.

Simple questions have simple answers! Boom goes the dynamite, right here:

A memo from Democratic staff to committee members obtained by the Alley blasts Issa for a litany of perceived improprieties, including: Failing to consult with Democratic members before issuing public letters with unverified allegations, concealing witnesses from Democratic staff, withholding documents obtained by the committee during the investigation, and effectively excluding Democratic committee members from joining a "poorly planned" congressional delegation to Libya.

The memo also illustrates how House Republicans voted to reduce security funding by roughly a half-billion dollars below the Obama administration's request, since gaining the majority of the chamber in 2011. "Commentators have noted the inconsistency of those who criticize embassy security after voting to cut funding for it," the memo states.

9. That can't be repeated enough.

Security in the embassies was curtailed by Republicans in Congress who failed to provide proper funding, and they should be held accountable.

Thanks, MADem.
