You still don't get it, do you CBJ7. It is the Obama administration's responsibility to provide adequate security for our embassy facilities. And in the light of the previous attacks, it is inexcuseable that they did not.

supposedly ...
Between 125 and 150 gunmen, "some wearing the Afghan-style tunics favored by Islamic militants," are reported to have participated in the assault. Some had their faces covered and wore
flak jackets. Weapons they used during the attack included
rocket-propelled grenades,
hand grenades,
AK-47 and
FN F2000 NATO assault rifles, diesel canisters, mortars, and heavy machine guns and artillery mounted on gun trucks
The assault began at nightfall, with the attackers sealing off streets leading to the main compound with gun trucks. The trucks bore the logo of
Ansar al-Shariah, a group of Islamist militants working with the local government to manage security in Benghazi.
exactly WHAT type of security would it have taken to stop an assault of that nature ? Did Bengazi warrant that type of security 24/7 365? or do we simply detach a large security team everytime the ambassador decided to venture away from the Embassy and make a visit to the consulate?
I get it alright ... the rightwingers are operating on talking points and are too stupid to take the entire picture into full light .. so what else is new.
