While you are blaming Obama and Clinton for lax security you might want to remember who cut funding for foreign diplomatic security, by half a billion dollars, before the attack in Bengahzi. I will give you a hint. Everyone of the feckless Republicans in Congress including the hypocrite asshat Republicans trumping up imaginary charges in hearings that are completely uneccessary. Bengahzi is as bad as Watergate and Iran Contra are you kidding me?

As soon as I get hearings and answers to these embassy and consulate attacks I reserve the right to call BS on Bengahzi.

September 17, 2008, U.S. embassy in Sana'a, Yemen
