I have read all the repsonses and don...Anonymous, <br /><br />I have read all the repsonses and don;t see the ones where you apparently have read people thinking it was a good thing that these people die.<br />after the tragedy happened I repeatedy read two key elements to the republicna narratiuve. ONE was that Susan zrice or the admin invented the myth of the demonstrations in Benghazi. The second was that thw admin had prevented the military from coming to the aid of the consulate(sic.<br />subsequently there has been an official report that blamed specific people, who have been fired< for actions or lack of actions that were deemed unacceptable, and for good reason.<br />Not ONE senior military person has even implied that the administration pressured the military to refuse to send in help against the orders of said military commanders. Numerous milatry commanders including Gates have said they would NOT have sent in troops without knowing more<<br />The two major right wing talking points have been abandoned and replaced with, the admin messaged talking points after the attack, and re-enforcements SHOULD have been sent because Americans were under attack><br />What saddens me about this whole issue, is that republicans are SO intent on attacking Obama, and are so ensnared in the belief that Obama is evil they have tried to project a narrative that Obama WANTED these people to die because he hates America. It is pretty stupid because most people realize that is just crazy, and therefore what SHOULD be a small but tragic scandal has become completely politicized and most people just are ignoring the issue because they know the right wing is just foaming at the mouth. So the important issue of security is not really going to be dealt with><br />the other thing I find fascinating about this is that it is no public knowledge that the CIA was heavily involved in what was going on, and apparently Right wing ideologies have forgotten that the CIA sometimes engages in activities that are not supposed to be revealed to the public, and that they are often supposed to be engaged in activities that impact the national security of the Untied States. Maybe the CIA being involved had an impact on the security situation. of course the CIA not the administration aren't supposed to talk about such things, but right wing republicans who apparently care nothing for US national security can of course do so with impunitytonylearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168161576867493109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-52703979016666157092013-05-19T22:33:15.856-04:002013-05-19T22:33:15.856-04:00A lot fewer than Bangladesh, West Texas and a whol...A lot fewer than Bangladesh, West Texas and a whole lot of other events.EliRabetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957002964638398767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-43052997292095553872013-05-19T22:05:14.865-04:002013-05-19T22:05:14.865-04:00Holy crap!!!

Why must the worst kind of Republican try to exploit anything and everything, and why won't those with more liberal habits of mind work harder to defend against the ugliness?<br /><br />It's likely that most money is going to projects like the grotesque Baghdad embassy and the enhancement of techniques that are rapidly motivating more young people abroad to join terrorists in hating the US, rather than defending heroes like Stevens and his colleagues in Benghazi. Death is a serious business, and should not be exploited, but character assassination is a favorite technique of right-wing advocates, and Hillary appears to be due for her innings. It's not a pretty story, and meanwhile our finite home can go hang to support tax cuts for those who don't need 'em as they run all the way to the bank and the banksters who own us all.Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935228911713362040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-3643291866081816752013-05-13T13:13:26.749-04:002013-05-13T13:13:26.749-04:00Gator,

They did not shrink from danger during the uprising, providing support to the rebels without which they would not have succeeded. They did not shrink from danger in the post revolutionary period.
