So why aren't you guys p.o.'d about this one?????

[chick_bleeds_carolina_blue]

You clearly under estimate yourself.

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....

[In 2011] 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.

[GOP vice presidential nominee Paul] Ryan, [Rep. Darrell] 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.

I agree. You are an average idiot. Maybe even an above-average idiot. Idiots see things other people don't. You go, girl!

Yeah we should cut costs by closing embassies that are undefendable and that embassy should have been closed 9 months before the attack. The reason it wasn't closed was it was suppose to be a shining example of Obama and hillary's foreign policy accomplishments and sending extra security would have proven it wasn't. Despite any claims there is always money for extra security at embassies so nice try. Also congrats on your use of non-biased sources. Just come out of the closet and admit you love hillary and the view. We all know it anyway.

I absolutely do not like Hillary at all. I think she will be just continue Obama's administration and I think Trump will destroy this country...... both are part of the demise of this country that we have been watching slowly bleed out for years. Unfortunately, there are way too many sheep like yourself who cannot see beyond your obvious hatred for "the other side" to see how much they (your chosen side) are screwing you up the rear end!

Your problem starts when you state "The Fox news narrative of a liberal" some times your true narrative shows thru when you don't intend it to. Why not say the CNN narrative of a liberal or the CBS , MSNBC?? Any way I have to go to work. You have once again succeeded in boring me to get back to work.

Sooo, how much can they keep wasting before it ceases to be comical to you? If you're okay with them wasting 8, 9, 10 million dollars, then why are you upset about average citizens milking the system? They're just mimicking the government that you seem to have no problem with when they waste money. AT least the welfare moochers are using it for a good time.

I think Hark's point is that while "wasting" $7 mil is not optimal, if we're gonna cry about the govt wasting money, this would be way, way, way down the list. But that's even assuming the $7 million to call out a liar that's hoping to become President is a waste. But you knew that. Of course you just wanted to be argumentative. Classic strum.

What in the world are all of you guys gonna do when they are swearing her ass in next January???? I cannot stand the beotch any more than you guys can but I have had to resign to the fact that we are gonna get a horrible president and I am very sure it will be her and if not then it will be even worse than I can imagine.... but apparently most of you are okay with that other cobra wearing a red ball cap.

Y'all are gonna lose your sh*t in November. I think I need to book myself on a vacation for October through February somewhere far, far away (as long as there is access to football and basketball games on tv, of course!).

No, I didn't "know that." Wasting 7 million fvcking dollars SHOULD BE an outrage. I don't give a shit what it's wasted on. I think wasting anything should be very high priority.

I see not everyone has a knack for reading comprehension. I said that being up in arms about a government that is trillions of dollars in debt for wasting $7mil was comical. Not that the actual wasting of the money was comical - which it's not.

I agree with this. Wasting 7mil should be an outrage. But it's rank on the outrage-o-meter is not nearly as high as several other government spendings that waste far more than 7 mil. If we're going to try to fix the problem, why start with something that isn't even a drop in the bucket?

I still say the same thing... why aren't you outraged over 7 million dollars? They have no business wasting such sums. This is exactly why I have little to no faith in anything they do or say. I wouldn't trust them nor count on them. I don't even like them representing me in any way.

I'm not trying to "start here." There is no fixing of this problem.

This is really a moot point because we have no effect or say-so on government at a national level anyway. But, I'm certainly not going to defend these irresponsible, overpaid, life-long-employed dickheads based on party affiliation. You guys act like the "left" does all the damage and that is bullshit. Both of these parties work in collusion when it comes to wasting money and playing the game of "They're worse than we are."

It has been clear for sometime that regardless of how poorly she handled the situation, no evidence of criminal wrongdoing was going to surface. This has been a partisan investigation and you and I and the entire rest of the damn country all know it. Those Republicans that pushed this don't give a single shit about saving lives in the future, they care about winning the next election. I didn't hear a single word out of any of them after any of the embassy attacks during the Bush administration.

I mean this with all due respect, but you are an idiot if you think this. The purpose of the committee was to find any negligence, criminal or otherwise. I don't care if you find that partisan or if you think Americans don't deserve answers about this. At a minimum she has perjured herself in this, which last I checked, is still a crime. And you liberals love to bring up GW because somehow you believe it absolves your parties sins, but I didn't see him claim attacks against our embassies were because of a video as a way to avoid more scrutiny on his failed policies.

If you think any of that had one thing to do with Benghazi then you are......I'll just leave it at that. The security problem was so massive that the Brits and The Red Cross had already left(hence the 600 requests for more security that hillary claimed never reached her desk) . The Embassy should have been closed but that would have laid to rest hillary and obama's claims that ISIS and terrorism had been shut down in Libya. They replaced a stable but corrupt saber rattling leader with a terrorist regime. Stop listening to the excuses about budget cuts you are only exposing yourself as uninformed. If hillary isn't a criminal then she was the most incompetent Sec of State in US history.

I have never said she wasn't a criminal. She absolutely is! I cannot stand her either but it is VERY obvious that this entire farce of an investigation and waste of money was simply for political reasons because she is running for president and the GOP and Liberals for that matter will do nearly anything to try to prove the other side is worse than their side. They both are awful and both are bringing this country to it's demise! You numb nuts are too blinded to see it! Money is wasted every damn day by our government, always has been. No one will ever be able to jail the witch. I wish someone could but I KNOW they cannot and will not. Hell, she ran the country when her husband was getting BJs.... he was just the puppet put on the stage while she was doing the work. I'd give ANYTHING right now if Mitt Romney would step up and run but he won't either... he knows this whole thing is a joke too and that she will win. If he knew anything different, trust me, he would be putting that dumb ass Trump out on the curb!

Pointing out Bush and his miserable time in office is just showing that it happens on both sides. Not only did he waste money sending our troops into a country he claimed had weapons of mass destruction when they didn't, he also caused the deaths of many that did NOT HAVE TO DIE because of THAT PARTICULAR fiasco! You can call me an idiot all you want, that means we have mutual feelings for each other because I think you are the idiot! I think you blinded by your believe in your "party" that you cannot see anything else. You are one of those typical idiots that do the blame game and the reason NOTHING ever changes in this country!

So you aren't going to define wmd? Ok. Well it includes chemical weapons, which we found artillery full of the stuff. Mustard and sarin gas to be exact. By definition those are wmd. Should I provide you a link unlike you did? Here you go. There are many more.

Your CIA reference was a report issued less than a year after the invasion. Were they lying? You tell me? Maybe they were in a rush to please others? Do you want to recant now that what you meant to say was nuclear weapons? I somehow doubt it.

 

[deandisciple]

Perhaps the weapons were removed and sent to Syria as soon as Bush and the media reported that they were going there to find weapons of mass destruction, I know that if I had some weed and it was reported the cops were coming I would move said weed right away...

my bad... clearly nuclear weapons is what they were looking for. I believe everyone already knew that Saddam already had the chemical weapons, I was definitely aware of it. Perhaps W misspoke when he gave that speech that he was going in to look for WMDs (since WE KNEW he indeed had them before when he killed roughly 600 with them)... but of course, you are correct, that was not a waste of money whatsoever since Bush said WMDs and they did not find nuclear weapons only what we already knew about..... nahhhhhhhhh not one bit.

I expect as much coming from you. Deflect and never be wrong. Qualities of a lot of women though I guess. WMD is what we were looking for, we found them. You are still using the word WMD but you don't even know what it means. Should I post the pics of the havoc Sadam wreaked on his own people with those very weapons we are talking about? We know it only takes one picture to change your mind so maybe we should let you live on in ignorant bliss. I believe all that shaking of your head has caused you brain damage.

Ummmmm I did post a picture of what Saddam did! WITH THAT REPLY, guess you missed it.... it was dead children from chemical warfare by Saddam.... so YES we knew about the chemical weapons (which are WMDs).
