Tea Partied Republican lawmakers(?) – along with endless bashings from their FOXified cable muse partners - are on the Blame Obama for Benghazi band wagon, once again, without mentioning multiple Tea Partied Republican diplomatic corps budget cuts prior to and after the Benghazi attack?!?!?
The Benghazi attack took place on
September 11, 2012.
In 2009 House Republicans cut $12
billion from State operations including funds for 300 more diplomatic
security positions from the Obama administration's budget request.
Tea Partied Representatives making
the most noise about Benghazi - Darrel Issa (CA) and Tea Partied House Representative
Jason Chaffetz (Utah) - led the Tea Partied House Republican majority vote to
cut diplomatic corps funds in their 2011
and 2012 budgets.
In fiscal year 2011, House Republicans “shaved $128 million off of the Obama
administration’s request for embassy security funding.
In fiscal year 2012 “House Republicans “drained off even more funds from the Obama
administration’s embassy security request – cutting back on the request by $331 million.
When Tea Partied House
Republicans cut diplomatic corps funds, these are the types of essential embassy security measures
they cut:
- Security staffing
- Local guards
- Armored vehicles
- Security technology
- Embassy construction and upgrades
By the way, two years after the Benghazi attack, the Tea Partied House Republican Paul Ryan budget slashes an additional $400
million from the Obama administration’s embassy security request!?!?
If
House Republicans are so concerned about the tragedy in Benghazi, why are they systematically cutting diplomatic corps funding from Obama administration
requests…
and…
,,,what
impact did Tea’d House Republican budget cuts have on diplomatic security prior
to the Benghazi attack, as well as to the security of all U.S embassies moving forward
and…
…why
aren’t cable muse FOXifiers covering that "smoking gun"?
