The question why requests for additional security as well as requests for help that night were both denied remain unanswered. The question as to who made those decisions and why remain unanswered.

Ryan's budget gave 270 million dollars less to the account that pays for Embassy Security than what was requested. Could that have had anything to do with it alloak? Of course that was revealed in October of 2012. Yet the investigations are ongoing.
13 embassies attacked under George W. 60 dead. No investigations.
You Republicans love to waste tax payer money. More than 70% of Americans agree that this is a partisan witch hunt.
You guys also keep saying that the FBI is investigating Hillary Clinton. From what I can ascertain they are investigating the security of her email server. That's an important nuance. Even Trey Gowdy is using a private email server. I believe their investigation will have far reaching National security implications that effect all levels of our government. I don't believe that they will uncover any criminal wrong doing.
If so... arrest her. I have no problem with sending criminals to jail. But that isn't what's happening.
Keep drinking the kool aide. For all the Republican talking points about wasting tax payer money they sure don't walk the walk.

I imagine that was a pretty sad bit of communication. Stevens starting to panic, telling the SD that the situation was gravely dangerous and he was about to be killed.
"Sorry, pal. Ryan cut the funding so we can't help you. We don't have the money to try to save your life."
After being a target herself, dodging sniper fire in Bosnia and what not, it seems as if Ms. Clinton would be a little more understanding and receptive to his needs at that moment. Guess not.

Maybe just not the resources? I know our military dwarfs any military in the history of the world, but, face it, we can't win a war. Seems like all that money is wasted to me.

Is not.

All this hearing did was make Hillary look stronger and more presidential. Anyone who doesn't think so was never going to vote for her anyway. I think some that might have been on the fence about her were put at ease.

My guess is that Trey Gowdy & the rest of the Prosecution Team will not rest until maybe 50 million of taxpayer money has been spent. Maybe some of those funds could have been spent more wisely than being an arm of the RNC?

Little Billy is factually challenged:

- Wrong. Rep. Ryan had nothing to do with the allocation to Embassy Security. That was entirely within the purview of The State Department.
13 embassies attacked under George W. 60 dead. No investigations.
- A misrepresentation. We were at war.
You Republicans love to waste tax payer money. More than 70% of Americans agree that this is a partisan witch hunt.
- You say yet site no poll. How many people in your fake percentage are democrats?

- “From what I can ascertain” – Obviously you did not listen to either the State Department or the National Intelligence inspector Generals. They both clearly stated the referral to the FBI for criminal investigation was due to Hillary Clinton receiving, keeping and forwarding classified compartmentalized information in violation of the National Espionage Act and numerous Federal Government regulations.

I disagree. Those already planning to support her were reassured. Those on the fence were simply reassured that she is a relatively smooth liar.

The first word people associate with Hillary Clinton is liar.
Poll: Voters Overwhelmingly Think Hillary Is A Liar
August 27, 2015 By Sean Davis
A new poll released this morning by Quinnipiac University shows that Hillary’s reputation is in tatters as the 2016 race for the White House shifts into high gear.
When voters were asked to say the first word that came to mind when they thought of Hillary Clinton, the most popular responses were “liar,” “dishonest,” and “untrustworthy.”
Based on the results of the free association question, the registered voters who were polled appear to have busted out the thesaurus in order to capture Hillary Clinton’s sordid history of ethics scandals: crook, criminal, phony, cheat, deceptive, sneaky, devious.
Of all the candidates polled, Hillary Clinton scored the worst on the issue of honesty, with 61 percent of voters saying she is neither honest nor trustworthy. Unsurprisingly, given views of her trustworthiness, Clinton’s favorability ratings are also under water. A majority of voters polled — 51 percent — have an unfavorable view of the former First Lady. Thirty-nine percent said they had a favorable view of Clinton.
The bad news for Hillary doesn’t stop there, though. The poll also gauged the electorate’s appetite for a Joe Biden candidacy. According to the poll, Biden appears to have a better chance than Hillary at winning a ticket to the White House:
“On the Democratic side, Secretary Hillary Clinton continues her slide while Sen. Bernie Sanders continues to narrow the gap,” [Quinnipiac assistant polling director Tim] Malloy added. “But the real news is the man who isn’t there – yet. Vice President Joseph Biden has the best appeal in general election matchups against top Republicans.
“Note to Biden: They like you, they really like you, or they like you more than the others.
“If he is sitting on the fence, his scores in the matchups and his favorability ratings may compel him to say, ‘Let’s do this.’”
Quinnipiac polled 1,053 registered voters between August 20 and 25, and the poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percent.

Wow, a poll taken 2 months ago by a company with a Republican bias asking an open ended question. I'm sure that is completely reliable.

13 embassies attacked under George W. 60 dead. No investigations.
- A misrepresentation. We were at war.
We were at war when Benghazi happened as well. I'm sorry that doesn't fit into your narrative. 😉

There is a pretty big slimeball leading the GOP side as well, so I guess for those who haven't already decided how they will vote in the general (a relatively small number I would guess) it will depend on how you like your to take your slimeballs.

Obama’s words.
You seem to have a selective and short memory.
During 2011 and 2012, Obama repeatedly said in his daily speeches that we were not at war while reminding everyone what he would not do. How many times did Obama hail the “Arab Spring”? (which failed so miserably to materialize adding yet another Obama foreign policy failure).
This of course was while Obama, Hillary Clinton and The CIA were trying to pull off regime change in Libya and Egypt and install The Muslim Brotherhood as the ruling party in both countries. Obviously that failed. Obama, Hillary Clinton and The CIA have never been held accountable for the military weapons they were supplying to The Muslim Brotherhood some of which were used by the Islamic Extremist Terrorists on our Benghazi facility.
It was Obama that said we were not at war.

As usual, Mule lies. Obama announced the pulling out of troops from Iraq, and ended the war in December of 2011. In Afghanistan, the surge of US troops continued.....until late in 2012.

Try to keep up.

To say we were not at war on September 11, 2012 disrespects the almost 2500 service men and women who have died in Afghanistan. Obama never said we were not at war in Afghanistan.
You owe a lot of military families an apology Mule. It is good to see you admit how little you care for those fighting to preserve your freedoms.

And I don't need some wimpy liberal lecturing me on patriotism and honoring our military. Both are traits liberals regularly disrespect.

I love how the GOP likes consider themselves the patriotic party, meanwhile they vote against expanding much needed benefits for veterans every chance they get and fight as hard as they can to keep from paying their fair share of the revenue needed to run the country. Real patriots they are.

So, you didn't say this?
"During 2011 and 2012, Obama repeatedly said in his daily speeches that we were not at war while reminding everyone what he would not do."
You said we were at war during all the Bush embassy bombings... somehow making them ok.
Billy said we were also at war during Benghazi, which we were.....
Try to keep up, or at least remember what you posted......

Does anyone know what the actual end game is with these hearings?

Does anyone know what the actual end game is with these hearings?
The unique feature of the House Select Committee on Benghazi is that its sole mission is to inflict political damage on a person who already has been exonerated by the collective force of seven congressional committees.
The Benghazi committee was established by the House in May 2014 to investigate the terrorist assault that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, in Benghazi, Libya. It was sold as an effort to find out what happened, whether the administration could have done more to prevent the attacks, and what could be done to protect US diplomatic facilities in the future. But the Benghazi inquisition is beginning to backfire on the Republicans because they really created it to hurt Hillary Clinton's chances of becoming the next president.
Last month, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy crippled the committee, and his own bid to become House speaker, by announcing on national television that its actions were bringing down Clinton's poll numbers. Since then, a fired staffer has accused the committee of dismissing him because he refused to target the Democratic presidential frontrunner, and a moderate House Republican from Clinton's adoptive home state of New York, Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY), has said the committee was "designed" to hit her.
