[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1136932, member: 17969"] Again, your attempting to sound "informed" but in reality, you are not. What i gather from your post is that you are "OUTRAGED" over the "explanation" of events? Departments of the goverment told us that it was a video that caused the attack, and you prefer to hear the word "TERROR ATTACK" ?? What you leave out of your equation, is the FACT that on that VERY DAY, other embassys came under attack because of this ridiculous RIGHT WING/Christian video slamming the prophet mohammed no matter how ridiculous the video was. It was easy to "assume" in the heat of the moment that the libyan temporary embassy was a victim of the same violence. You cannot possibly believe that you can have "instant gratification" of information on a fluid event in the middle of the night, do you? You are "outraged" over not hearing the word "terror"? as if you are not smart enough to figure that out for yourself? Who in their right minds would believe this was anything "other" than a terrorist attack? Is there a "video attack" description for things? Causation, is what needs to be found out. WHY did these terrorists attack the embassy? Were they trying to free prisoners secretly held in the CIA black site that the temporary embassy was a front for? Who knows? Here is the CAIRO US EMBASSY on that same day earlier in the day. Violence over this video spread to a dozen muslim countries on sept 11th because of the video, and yet, you think its "implausable" that the libyan embassy couldnt be confused with these other events? I ask you WHY you leave out this part of the story?? Is it because you are not TOLD to consider these facts by your Sources of information? Is it because you have been directed away from these events as to make it appear as if the libyan embassy was the only embassy attacked that day??

It matters NOT what protection ambassador stevens asked for, the GOP cut the funds to provide him with such. You want to talk about budget cuts and sequestration, but you are confusing TWO separate issues alltogether.
