Republican Cover Up--The GOP Cut Embassy Security Funding: America--The GOP Owns the Benghazi Tar Baby [Picture]

As usual, the GOP  is banking on the fact that the american  public has a blinding case of political Alzheimers. While thy have been throwing the Benghazi tar baby at the Democrats, specifically former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the truth is: the Republicans own the Benghazi atrocity. It was the Republicans who refused to approve funding for embassyt security upgrades–truth is, we must lay the blame for the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens at their door. Nothing less. Wake up America!!!

In 2012, in an interview, the truth came out–a truth which is now conveniently forgotten by the GOP and the  inept Deocrats are letting them get away with it.  According to one media report:

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) acknowledged on Wednesday that House Republicans had consciously voted to reduce the funds allocated to the State Department for embassy security since winning the majority in 2010.

On Wednesday morning, CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien asked the Utah Republican if he had “voted to cut the funding for embassy security.”

“Absolutely,” Chaffetz said. “Look we have to make priorities and choices in this country. We have…15,000 contractors in Iraq. We have more than 6,000 contractors, a private army there, for President Obama, in Baghdad. And we’re talking about can we get two

doze n or so people into Libya to help protect our forces. When you’re in tough economic times, you have to make difficult choices. You have to prioritize things.”  Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) acknowledged on Wednesday that House Republicans had consciously voted to reduce the funds allocated to the State Department for embassy security since winning the majority in 2010.  source

Nevertheless, Republicans and their ilk used a complict media and threw this tar baby at the inept Deocrats.:

The Obama administration’s reluctance to talk about what happened in Benghazi, Libya is worse than Watergate, counterterrorism expert Michael Scheuer told Newsmax TV, and Americans will not learn what happened because President Barack Obama wants to protect his chances at being re-elected.

On Wednesday morning, CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien asked the Utah Republican if he had “voted to cut the funding for embassy security.”

“Absolutely,” Chaffetz said. “Look we have to make priorities and choices in this country. We have…15,000 contractors in Iraq. We have more than 6,000 contractors, a private army there, for President Obama, in Baghdad. And we’re talking about can we get two dozen or so people into Libya to help protect our forces. When you’re in tough economic times, you have to make difficult choices. You have to prioritize things.”  HUFFINGTON POST

So, why is the media not revisiting the truth here? The GOP has already adfmitted that in their view embassy security was not a priority.  Yes, indeed, this is worse than Watergatee–our embassador died, and, like Watergate, we can lay this at the door of Republicans.  We will, if the media will get off its sorry behind, and if the puyblic will take its blinders off.
