Yes because killing is the right thing to do.

Re: Republican Benghazi BS
LOL! What scandal? Four people died because Republicans denied the embassies the funding they needed for better security. See the posts above they give the facts quite clearly.
Meanwhile, all those deaths under Bush were ignored by the right wing media. Now THAT's a scandal!

Re: Republican Benghazi BS
Gopher;
Partisan politics aside...
Doesn't it bother you that the Libyan Embassy officials indicated that there were problems in advance of this incident and they were not resolved?... In essence, this is what this issue is about - not about Reps or Dems, Obama or Romney - it's about the loss of lives that was basically forewarned and was preventable.
Benghazigate:
Even right winger Geraldo says Fox is lying about Benghazigate - that seals the deal right there!
Republicans were desperately trying to make a scandal out of this but they failed yet again .......

Every loss of life is a tragedy. But what bothers me the most if the double standards applied by the right wing. When you have certain Republicans admitting they were the ones who cut funding to defend the embassies and then have others trying to exploit this tragedy for personal gain, that becomes even more tragic.
Uh huh
Tone of Campaign Coverage 2012 How Obama and Romney Fared in News Coverage and Social Media
I don't watch US news on TV, so I wouldn't know.....but PEW Research is beyond reproach, as far as I know.........
And I can't imagine what they could have positive to say about Obama........

Papers Blast Obama Over Benghazi
The lead editorials in the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal today offer stinging critiques of the Obama administration’s handling of Benghazi.
The Post notes that what happened in Benghazi “increasingly looks like a major security failure” and argues, “sooner or later the administration must answer questions” about that failure and “the policies that led to it.”

Papers Blast Obama Over Benghazi | The Weekly Standard
Security officials on the ground in Libya challenge CIA account
Despite a carefully narrated version of events rolled out late this week by the CIA claiming agents jumped into action as soon as they were notified of calls for help in Benghazi, security officials on the ground say calls for help went out considerably earlier -- and signs of an attack were mounting even before that.
The accounts, from foreign and American security officials in and around Benghazi at the time of the attack, indicate there was in fact a significant lag between when the threat started to show itself and help started to arrive.
According to the CIA, the first calls for assistance came at 9:40 p.m. local time from a senior State Department official at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, to the CIA annex about a mile away.

The President's immediate handling of Hurricane Sandy is driving the Foxies crazy.
They were calling it "Obama's Katrina" even before it hit landfall. Hoping, hoping, hoping.
Benghazi 24/7 beats listening to Chris Christie (their former hero & savior) talking about his new great working relationship with the Kenyan, Muskim,Atheist, Marxist Communist,Muslim, Crazy Christian Church attending guy, and how attentive & brilliant Obama is & how he's accelerated help for NJ.
They simply cannot stand it.
"BenghaziGate" was meant to be the rightwing's entry-point to a whole host of risible criticisms of the President and the Administration. Between Romney's premature statements, Issa's hamfisted "hearings" and Obama's owning of Romney during debate 2 and 3 and they made themselves look like complete morans. Serves 'em right for such naked politicization of these four deaths.
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.......
What really gets me is that a lot of them seem genuinely perplexed as to why most Americans would be preoccupied with other things, especially right now, than some murky supposed scandal about what went down in Libya over a month ago.
Or why people would be impressed with Obama's performance as an actual competent president overseeing an actual competent FEMA.
Don't they understand?!?
LIBYA!! um, some place most Americans have never heard of and couldn't pick it out on a map !!
DEAD AMERICANS! because the hurricane hasn't caused any of those, and the rescue effort now isn't, like, making a difference as to whether there'll be more or how many.
In case no one noticed, Faux Noise is still banging the drum but for the the GOP itself is keeping quiet on the topic.
Maybe because they realized they probably don't want to get into a comparison of body counts with that other terror attack that one of theirs had lots of warnings that they chose to ignore...................
Opinion: Debunking the GOP

Why would you say any research is beyond reproach? That's foolish. Check out the methodology from PEW. Fox News and MSNBC were not sampled identically. They don't even report error bars for their findings, as if they are 100% confident in their tone an@lysis. Hardly beyond reproach. :roll:
lol people are without food, water and power. But nevermind that, their phone calls are being answered within 15 minutes!
What a great president!
May be necessary to know where to deliver the food and water!
More air deflated from conservative hot air balloons, by Romney campaign adviser Ed Gillespie:

In the second presidential debate, Romney treated Benghazi as the most important national security issue of the moment. But Romney sidestepped the issue in the final debate and, as far as I’m aware, hasn’t raised it since. It’s true that the topic blew up in Romney’s face in that second debate. But Romney’s sudden and complete abandonment of the topic has still been something of a mystery.
Now the story has taken a new twist, as Massimo Calabresi explains.
It seems as through the most important actor during the attack may not have been the president, but CIA director David Petraeus.
That leaves the storyline more confused than ever.
That leaves the storyline more confused than ever.
Petraeus, the reputed savior of Iraq, is a hero to many of the same conservatives who have been driving the Benghazi story in an effort to burn the president. Now it seems possible that their ire could burn the general more than the president.
Actually it blew up in Candy's face but don't trouble yourself about that.

This is awkward.
A reader points out that Paula Broadwell was the honored keynote speaker at a University of Denver event last month. The speech is obviously of interest in light of the revelation of her involvement with General Petraeus, whom she discusses in her speech.
One of the questions following her speech alludes to her interest in becoming the National Security Advisor. At about 35:00, Broadwell herself specifically discusses the terrorist attack in Benghazi and General Petraeus’s response. She claims there were “militia prisoners” at the annex whose presence might have precipitated the attack. If true, this appears to raise the question whether she might have been the recipient of nonpublic information. In any event, the source of her information is not otherwise apparent, and she immediately refers to General Petraeus after mentioning it.

This is awkward.
Now, I don’t know if a lot of you have heard this but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner, and they think that the attack on the consulate was an attempt to get these prisoners back. It’s still being vetted. “The challenging thing for Gen. Petraeus is that in his new position, he’s not allowed to communicate with the press. So he’s known all of this – they had correspondence with the CIA station chief in Libya, within 24 hours they kind of knew what was happening.”
That's his "girlfriend" speaking, last month, at the University of Denver.
