fair use excerpt:

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. (Negotiations with the Democrat-controlled Senate restored about $88 million of the administration’s request.) Last year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” — a charge Republicans rejected.

Ryan, Issa and other House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut $1.2 billion from State operations, including funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions. Under Ryan’s budget, non-defense discretionary spending, which includes State Department funding, would be slashed nearly 20 percent in 2014, which would translate to more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security.

Shhh...the 'mainstream-media' isn't covering this either...

This was a LAME excersize in justifying a lack of security by the BUSH administration.

These were terror attacks that were not stopped or prevented by BUSH. The reality is however, everyone knows that BUSH was an incompetent and could fight his way out of a wet paper bag and to expect him to fight terrroism was an even bigger joke.

Those embassies and consulates were attacked under bush's watch, and whether or not americans were killed isnt the issue.

The issue is , where is the outrage?

Selective outrage for older viewers of fox news is laughable at best.

I want to know why there was no help sent even when asked for before the event. You should want to know why too. Was it because the sec'y of state is a mental case or that the president was too busy thinking about that fund raising trip to Vegas the next morning.

People abandoned these Americans. Why????

Where do you get this from? No one abandoned those Americans, and Ambassador Stevens turned down extra security, twice.

It was a very unfortunate incident, but similar to other incidents, some worse, some not as bad, that have happened for decades. It was not a coverup, it was not a CYA for the administration. It was civil servants that were doing what that thought best for their country, and inadvertently put themselves in a very bad spot at a very bad time. They were not in a 'consulate', except that any place the ambassador resides is technically a consulate for a day, they were at a CIA outpost.

Let the dead rest, or pitch a bitch about Beirut while your at it.

I'll pitch a bitch about Americans and American problems......our borders, our VA Hospitals , our lack of jobs, etc. The rest of the world can solve their own problems.......or they can have (not borrow, but have) John Kerry.

Your outrage is as genuine as your "individual" thought process.

You were silent on every other embassy attack during BUSH, you were silent when our country was left unguarded and BUSH allowed airplanes to hit the USA, you were silent when Pat Tillman was killed, you were silent when BUSH sent "UNARMORED VEHICLES" into IRAQ and soldiers were killed in them, you were silent when Donald Rumsfeld screwed up the IRAQ war and thousands of soldiers were being killed, you were silent when dick cheneys Haliburton was ripping off the US Government for billions of dollars in NO BID contracts, you were silent when Attorney General Gonzalez was operating gun running scams into mexico, you were silent when paul wolfowitz was stealing money from the world bank and had a libyan girlfriend he was paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to.

The list is endless with subjects that required "OUTRAGE", yet you were silent.

Today, In 2014, you want to be out front with your outrage??

Please.
