There was a covert CIA operation attached to the rear of the embassy. Rumors had been circulated a couple of prisoners were being held there that those who attacked the embassy wanted set free. Some people assert that that attack had nothing to do with the embassy or our Ambassador. But as one might expect, rather than the CIA being blamed for being the catalyst for the attack, President Obama is blamed for the tragedy by the accusation that he failed and Hillary Clinton failed to protect the Embassy. In other words, business as usual...it is all Obama's fault.

that occurred just before the 2012 election. HRC didn't have anything to do with this. HRC, the Obasma admin are ABSOLUTELY not at fault. One day, the truth will come out and it's very very ugly.

And I fully expect to still be waiting when their carcases are lowered into the ground with "full honors" after they die peacefully in their beds.

WHY, we wonder, doesn't the mainstream media talk about the causal link between budget cuts and decreased services? And, WHY, we wonder, are those decreases in service not associated, as they should be, with tax cuts?

What???

Oh.

Yes, profits would be affected, probably....

But less people would die!

What???

Oh.

Yes, I realize that in our capitalist utopia, profits ARE more important than people.

Sigh.
