I think the person ultimately responsible should resign as well.

http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/...cials-resign-in-wake-of-benghazi-report?lite=

A U.S. official tells NBC News that Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security Eric Boswell is resigning. His deputy, Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Programs, Bureau of Diplomatic Security Charlene Lamb, as well as another unnamed official from State's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs are resigning as well.

The resignations come after the Accountability Review Board Report on the attacks on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was released and faults the State Department and specifically the bureau of Diplomatic Security for "grossly inadequate" security..

An independent panel's sharply critical report on the Sept. 11 attacks on the Benghazi consulate blames "systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies within two bureaus of the State Department" for the post's inability to defend itself.

Good luck getting Al Queda to resign!

I generally approve of humor, but I'm going to fail that post. I mean, I appreciated it but maybe would have laughed if you said something like "good luck getting Osama Bin Laden to resign"...

But keep trying. I have faith in you.

Who were you referring to in your original post?
 
Standard Republican procedure is to erupt in fake anger over some event just before the election, to influence the voters. This attack is all they could think of, and politicizing it got them nowhere.

Oh my.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

You're wrong. It was plain funny.

Yes, what a national uproar that was in 2000. So much, that I had totally forgotten until now that Bush got a DUI. ...There was no uproar.

It is still unpublicized that Bush's wife, before she knew him, killed a woman while driving drunk.
 
You asked about a big todo about some outrage right before the election.

A 14 year old DUI is pretty much nothing to be outraged about. Check.

Dirt bomb by the Democrat? Check.

Right before the election? Check.
 
jlprk, here's where you missed the boat....

I'm not making this a left or right issue. People, our military people and diplomats were murdered. Unnecessarily murdered. AN independent report lays the blame at a hopelessly mismanaged State Department. When that happens, people have to go. It's important our people are reasonably safe. And if that means chopping heads from the Secretary of State on down, then so be it. If this had happened during the Bush Administration it's a 100% lock you'd be calling for Bush to resign and then for every day after. But somehow you, and others, think that because it's democrats in charge that caused this to happen they are to be exonerated. Your hypocrisy is stunningly transparent. Those are just the facts. There has to be accountability whether it's democrats or republicans.
 
If the buck doesn't stop at (it's bush's fault!) Obama, it stops with Hillary on this one.

She's planning to run for president in 2016. Quit now so people forget about her incompetence.
 
It got less the 1% the media attention that Benghazi got and is still getting. Republicans own the mass media.

I asked for a big to-do, not a coo coo little boo boo.

You can back out all you want now, but when our diplomats and others are being murdered through incompetence from the very people to protect them, it's a big deal. Period.
 
You know full well that Benghazi has gotten thousands times the media time given to Bush's DUI. There is no comparison.

But at least Denny did come up with something. Better than I expected.

As for your issue BP, what is your specific critique of how the sprawling American campus should have been guarded, when the Libyan government insisted it would do the job itself because having Americans guard it would be incendiary? I have yet to hear specifics, just politicized platitudes.

47% this past election.

Not right before the election, but close enough. Much ado about nothing.

Are you sure it's 1000 times? or is it 999 times? or 1001?

Or not with the intent to damage a candidacy. Or buried on page 16 while page 1 talked about binders of women.
 
That's the best you got? I could have used it to prove my side. You have no sources, just wishful thinking by Republicans for a contest between a young Rubio vs an old bag lady who talked Obama into the Libya and Syria wars.

Your other source wasn't so hot either. It just said, 9 years after the 2000 election, that Rove was now guessing that someone in the Gore campaign had told the media about the Bush DUI. That's extremely weak evidence of an equivalent to the Benghazi gotcha surprise.

I'm sure it's thousands, as I said. Of both TV hours and press column inches.

Yes, the binders of women criticism was a reach and I disliked it.

Your defense of the State Department is very disappointing.

I asked for your specific critique of Benghazi security and you give me a vague critique of my request.

This is why the whole thing is politicized gotcha pre-election nonsense. The Emperor has no clothes. Put up or shut up.
