"Jason Chaffetz admits House GOP cut funding for Embassy security : "You have to prioritize things" October 11,2012

Like you, I am baffled that it's never brought up by the MSM, it should be, but it never is. I'm not sure if Hillary or her surrogates have mentioned it either, unless I missed it (which is possible). But you would think there would be more emphasis on it.

One other thing, barely any mention of the 13 Embassy attacks, which killed 60 people of GW Bush's watch. No outrage then, and it seems a lot of voters aren't even aware of it. Nor are they aware of the attacks in Beirut in 1983 under Reagan, one of which took the lives of 241 American soldiers:
"Ronald Reagan’s Benghazi" http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/ronald-reagans-benghazi

With Trump out there, now blaming President Obama and Hillary Clinton as being the "Founders" of ISIS (as ridiculous as that is!), wasn't it Ronald Reagan who financed Bin Laden and the Mujahideen in Afghanistan (Operation Cyclone) to fight the then Soviet Union?

Sometimes I wish we had real reporters like Dan Rather, instead of reporters that seem more interested in ratings, then getting to the truth.
