Good work there pseudolus. I was taking Harry's word for it as I can't be arsed to go behind this POS on the sheer amount of Spam he generates.
Certainly mistakes were made and careful examination of this tragedy will help identify the corrective actions necessary to make life safer for our diplomatic corps.
But the partisan circus that has erupted around the death of these four brave men undercuts such efforts.
It does a disservice to our diplomats and to our country.

That's just swell, Tony!
But...who gave the order to stand down?
Put up or stfu...
The Republicans’ Benghazi Obsession
The Benghazi hearings did not prove anything like an administration cover-up or other hysterical allegations of crimes equal to Watergate that some Republicans, such as Representative Steve King and Senator Lindsey Graham, have alleged. Republicans have held numerous hearings and briefings on Benghazi and are threatening to hold even more. It is a level of interest they did not show during George W. Bush’s administration when there were 64 attacks on American diplomatic targets or in the years they spent cutting back diplomatic security budgets. The real scandal is that serious follow-up on security in Libya is going unaddressed. Congress needs to make sure that State Department budgets for personnel and security improvements are sufficient and that security reforms are put in place as soon as possible.

How about a fact check regarding the claim Jason Chaffetz made that lives could have been saved if rescuers had not been told to stand down.
Chaffetz told Fox News that "we had people that were getting killed, we had people who are willing to risk their lives to go save them and somebody told them to stand down."
But it’s clear from Hicks’ testimony that four Americans "getting killed" in Benghazi were already dead when the decision was made to keep the special forces team in Tripoli. The mortar attack was over. A Defense Department drone watched overhead in Benghazi as Libyan militia members helped Americans get to the airport.
Chaffetz, however, says the team was available to go save "people that were getting killed," calling the order to stand down "sickening and depressing and disgusting." His office clarifies he meant that the team might have prevented additional casualties if attacks had continued — an explanation utterly missing from his national TV appearance. We rate the claim False.

Benghazi-Gate
[I]f the Republican obsession with Benghazi is partly an attempt to render [Clinton] incapable of winning the general election in 2016, the affair won’t do it for them. Or even get close. [...] Clinton... continues to be one of the most-scrutinized people on earth, and, following her time as secretary of state, her reputation remains strong. Even after the attention the right has paid to Benghazi — including demanding she testify to Congress — her approval numbers remain in the 60s.

Back on topic.
As you can imagine, these Obama people truly believe they are above the Law:
State Dept. May Not Comply with Congressional Subpoena on Benghazi
"Spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters Wednesday that the State Department has not decided if it will comply with a congressional subpoena demanding documents related to the crafting of Benghazi talking points for Susan Rice."

Interesting article BoonersArticles: The Betrayal of Hillary Clinton
Good find, piwanoi.
Should put to rest the false notion that it was the Republicans (or Aliens) who were at fault for the lack of funding or...something.
The money quote from your source:
Twice the man in charge of security for our diplomats in Libya, Greg Nordstrom, begged the State Department for more security in Benghazi after no less than 48 security "incidents" there, including two bombings.
Washington, however, said no. Hillary Clinton... had her minion Charlene Lamb... tell Nordstrom that State wanted "to normalize operations" in Libya and to "reduce security resources."
^ No probs Booners you should put "American Thinker " on your favourites ,it could prove very much to your purposeAmerican Thinker
I daresay Atlas Shrugs and Jihad Watch is already on yer favorites list, but just in case.. And of course the bible, WorldNutDaily.
Actually the lampoon site 'My right wing dad' is probably the best abbreviated way to keep up with the nonsense from the obese armchair warriors of the right.
Don't have Atlas Shrugs but occasionally check in with Jihad Watch although with all the Islamic Terror events popping up, it's redundant. Don't read "My Right Wing Dad" these days - too much material from...wait for it now...Lamestream Media!
W/regard to your Bookmarks, Media Matters is a most suspect source of objectivity. As well as Moveon.org
Another Fox News lie debunked by Bumpintheroad Booner's favorite site Media Matters.
Fox News suggested that national security adviser Tom Donilon is unfit for his position by accusing him of being missing during the night of terrorist attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya. In fact, congressional testimony showed that Donilon was in contact with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton throughout the night of the attacks.
On May 30, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade stated that "no one seemed to know where [Donilon] was" during the September 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, asking, "Where was he that night?" Kilmeade questioned Donilon's presence despite showing a photo of Donilon attending a briefing of President Obama on the Benghazi attack in the White House that day. On-screen text during the segment asked, "Where was Donilon on night of Benghazi?"
