You are totally, 100% wrong. From the Wikipedia article: Just after midnight, an attack on the CIA annex began, which included machine gun, rocket and mortar fire attack. The CIA defenses were able to hold off the attack until the morning of September 12.[19]:45-46 Early in the morning, Libyan government forces met up with a group of Americans (reinforcements from Tripoli including Glen Doherty[66]) that had arrived at the Benghazi airport. The team, which included two active-duty JSOC operators and five CIA personnel, had commandeered a small jet in Tripoli by paying the pilots $30,000 and forcing them to fly the team to Benghazi.[19]:43 After being held up at the airport for a few hours, the Libyan forces and newly arrived Americans went to the CIA annex at about 5:00am to assist in transporting approximately 32 Americans at the annex back to the airport for evacuation. Minutes after they drove through the gates, the annex came under heavy fire. The team immediately took up defensive positions. With a lull in the fighting, Glen Doherty began searching for his friend, Tyrone S. Woods, and he was told he was on the roof manning a MK46 machine gun. He found Woods on the roof with two other agents, they quickly embraced, filled each other in, and retook defensive firing positions. After only a few minutes, a mortar round hit Woods' position, fatally wounding him. As Doherty attempted to reposition and take cover, a second round fell on him, killing him instantly. 31-year-old David Ubben suffered shrapnel injuries and several broken bones in the mortar attacks, and according to Ubben's father, "The first [mortar] dropped 50 yards short and the next two were right on target."[

So Obama is personally keeping watch on all the consulates 24/7? And decided to let them in? Nice conspiracy theory, but I don't feel your paranoia.

March 2, 2006, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan Suicide car bomber killed four, including a U.S. diplomate directly targeted by the assailants. September 12, 2006, U.S. embassy in Damascus, Syria Gunmen attacked embassy with grenades, automatic weapons, and a car bomb (though second truck bomb failed to detonate). One killed and 13 wounded. January 12, 2007, U.S. embassy in Athens, Greece A rocket-propelled grenade was fired at the embassy building. No one was injured. July 9, 2008, U.S. consulate in Istanbul, Turkey Armed men attacked consulate with pistols and shotguns. Three policemen killed. March 18, 2008, U.S. embassy in Sana'a, Yemen Mortar attack misses embassy, hits nearby girls' school instead. September 17, 2008, U.S. embassy in Sana'a, Yemen Militants dressed as policemen attacked the embassy with RPGs, rifles, grenades and car bombs. Six Yemeni soldiers and seven civilians were killed. Sixteen more were injured. But only Benghazi matters, apparently. When are you people going to wake up and see that you're being manipulated? This is just an effort to raise Hillary Clinton's negatives in advance of the next election. Karl Rove is behind it - I saw him on O'Reilly's show and when asked why he is running ads about Benghazi, he evaded the question.

Pretty weak response. Bush lying to the American people has nothing to do with a "lefty agenda."
I just saw Rove on the so-called "No-Spin zone." Rove is already running Benghazi ads, although as O'Reilly pointed out, there's no campaign going on now. When asked why the ads are running now, Rove evaded the question. Obviously this is a long-term strategy to raise Hillary Clinton's negatives in advance of 2016, nothing more. All you Tea-Party types are being pulled along by Rove like marionettes - when are you going to wake up and see that you're being manipulated?
Of course it was Bush's fault - "the buck stops here" remember? If you guide your country into war, you damn well better not be blowing smoke, and Bush was blowing smoke.
So you're saying WE ATTACKED THE WRONG COUNTRY??!! But that's OK, because it was a Republican administration?
There's a report, but were there hearings? Bush was never held accountable. The article states: "It (the report) concludes that the US Administration "repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when in reality it was unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even non-existent. As a result, the American people were led to believe that the threat from Iraq was much greater than actually existed.” These included President Bush's statements of a partnership between Iraq and Al Qa'ida,that Saddam Hussein was preparing to give weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups, and Iraq's capability to produce chemical weapons." So Bush is a liar.
I guess the 4488 American military deaths in Iraq chasing non-existent WMD don't count as much as the 4 in Benghazi? Where were you President-haters then? Or when Reagan accidentally let 241 Marines get killed in Beirut? No hearings! I guess it was just a coincidence that the house was controlled by Republicans in both cases.
