On CNN's "State of the Union" on September 30, Candy Crowley insisted David Axelrod, President Barack Obama's chief strategist, was wrong when Axelrod tried to claim President Barack Obama called the Benghazi attack "an act of terror" on the day after.
"First, they said it was not planned, it was part of this tape," Crowley said when Axelrod tried to spin her.
This was Crowley the journalist, unlike the pro-Obama advocate who moderated Tuesday's debate between Obama and Mitt Romney and interjected herself into an argument between Obama and Romney on the exact same issue -- and took Obama's side.
During the debate, Crowley affirmed Obama's assertion that he referred to the Benghazi attacks as acts of terror on the day after.
After Romney correctly said it took Obama 14 days before Obama said the the Benghazi attacks were acts of terror, Crowley took Obama's side -- to an ovation from the town hall audience -- and she proclaimed Obama had indeed claimed the Benghazi attacks were acts of terror the day after the attacks in the White House Rose Garden.
On September 12, the day after the attacks, Obama did say the words "acts of terror" but he was not referring to the attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.
Crowley knew that on September 30 and she conceded it again hours after the debate when she went on CNN and said while Romney "was right in the main, but he just chose the wrong word." But the damage had already been done.
With Obama's reelection on the line, Crowley seemed to have conveniently forgotten the facts she knew two weeks before when she grilled Axelrod in a way she should have Obama.
For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Departments Worldwide Security Protection program well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administrations request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012. (Negotiations with the Democrat-controlled Senate restored about $88 million of the administrations request.) Last year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans proposed cuts to her department would be detrimental to Americas national security a charge Republicans rejected.

Why can't Republicans ever take responsibility for the mess they create?
A second time Republicans ignored a warning from a Clinton. Not as bad as the first, but still plenty bad.
But when questioned, Lamb denied that budgetary concerns had influenced her decision. committee It has been suggested that budget cuts are responsible for a lack of security in Benghazi, and Id like to ask Miss Lamb, said Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R., Calif.). You made this decision personally. Was there any budget consideration and lack of budget which lead you not to increase the number of people in the security force there?
No, sir, said Lamb.
Biden is not in charge of security at the embassy.Clinton is not in charge of security at the Embassy.
There is a chain of command in the system and the guy in charge of security stated that the threat level did not warrant more security.
It is a sad occassion but pointing fingers at everyone will not bring back a dead Ambassador
