    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.
    .

    http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/...ystemic-failures-within-state-department?lite

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Any examples from history? A Democrat running for President made a big to-do over some outrage right before the election?

    It was clever. But not good enough to rep.

    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.
