(24,853 posts)I was SICK over the fact that a representative of the US Government, someone appointed by MY PRESIDENT to speak for ME, and MY COUNTRY was murdered by people in the country he loved and ASKED to be assigned to.
A man MY PRESIDENT chose to speak for him, and by extension FOR ME was murdered by people in the country he was posted in. MURDERED. A representative of The United States Government. MY representative. Murdered.
..
A FUCKING AMBASSADOR. A DIPLOMAT.
Those facts seem to have been lost in the partisan bullshit that passes for governance today. An American Ambassador was MURDERED. Strangely, THAT fact seems to have been lost in the argument about who wants to know why, and who was responsible for his safety.
What do I want? I want a fucking timeline that starts at the fucking MINUTE the FIRST SHOT was fired, and ends with the LAST SHOT. I want to know who. I want to know when. I want to how AN AMERICAN AMBASSADOR could have been left twisting in the wind, and how three men whose CHOSEN mission it was to protect him died. It's my fucking RIGHT to know as a taxpayer.
Pissed off at me for thinking someone's hiding something? Fuck off. An American Ambassador was MURDERED in the country where he represented ME, an American Citizen.
A representative of the Government of the United States was murdered in cold blood. I don't CARE who it reflects badly on... I wanna know who, I wanna know why, and I wanna know WHEN his murderers will be brought to justice.
Piss you off that I'd consider that a REQUIREMENT because it may make someone look bad?
Kiss my ass.

(5,998 posts)It was/is a war torn country flooded with weaponry and rival groups struggling to gain control/influence and settle scores. It has been well established that the compound that was attacked was a CIA outpost. The most logical conclusion is that this was an easy target for those upset at our involvement in the region and they chose to attack. (Much like the Marine barracks in Beirut, USS Cole, etc.)
The US military is not some sort of SWAT team than swoops into all corner of the world to halt misdeeds (esp. since State Department funding was repeatedly cut by the very republiClowns who now decry the horrific murders at Benghazi).
In sum, it took a long time to bring Bin Laden to justice and I am confident we've got some top notch people on the job finding out who did this evil deed.

(50,560 posts)We know our Republican't Elected Officials won't do a damn thing to help this country. They will stand in the way of progress if they are in the minority to keep Democrats from getting any credit, and if they're in the majority they will decide their sole job is tax cuts and deregulation.
The whole Benghazi thing is a smoke mission being fired to conceal the fact they refuse to do anything.
