    Buy some Raytheon, Rockwell, General Dynamics, ATK, and Lockheed-Martin stock and line your own.

    That is not true. Typical National Review right-wing spin. There is $250 million in economic aid given to the Egyptian government. The rest of the $1.5 billion is military aid that can only be used by the Egyptian army . . . who just deposed Morsi and the Brotherhood.

    I don't recall Obama doing that either. The whole "stand-down" order is a myth. The assessment of the Special Operations Command was that "it was more important for those guys to be in Tripoli" for main embassy security rather than at the Benghazi consulate office. No one was ordered to stand down. Obama had nothing to do with military decisions at this level.

    It was promised while Morsi and his brotherhood were in charge. And I didn't realize that the Egyptian military was its on entity and didnt answer to the Egyptian govt.

    Barry was Mia the night of the attack. The response team was ready. Jets could've flown and they had real time visual via drones overhead. It just wasn't in his best interests politically for action to be taken. Then they had to come up with a patsy. Video director was it. They blamed that guy for 2 weeks. After all. They had an election coming up. Now we're stuck with lil jesse for 4 more years.

    BS. this myth has been debunked over and over again, and by military officials. next, recall that the only politicization of this event was done by Mitt Romney, who was admonished by members of his own party for making a statement, criticizing the administrations response, while the attack was still ongoing.

    Romney was shedding light on what was happenin and calling it what it was. A terrorists attack. Barry was sweeping it under the rug and trying to say it was a bad movie review. Romney was chastised for coming out too quick with the accusations, even though he ended up being right. Barry's lying ass still got supported by the media and the only person punished was the video producer. I can't wait to see how the media will spin it If this idiot starts WW3.
