Yet , UNDER OATH..... Deputy Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security Charlene Lamb testified in October that the size of the attack -- and not the money -- was the issue.
Asked if there was any budget consideration that led her not to increase the security force, she said: "No."
She added: "This was an unprecedented attack in size." Asked again about budget issues, Lamb said: "Sir, if it's a volatile situation, we will move assets to cover that."
--------------------------------------
Asked about Lamb's testimony, Clinton noted that the review board that examined the Libya attack found budget issues have played a role.
The problem is incompetence, not money.
So budget issues played a role ? Really ?
So, what we have is TC still spinning and posting lies that were debunked long ago.
Charlene Lamb testified under oath that funding was not a problem, on top of that,
Tripoli was the only post mentioned in the department's fiscal 2013 request, NOT Benghazi -- funding for that location was $10.1 million in 2012
There were more than 230 security incidents in Libya between June 2011 and July 2012.
48 took place in Benghazi, two at the U.S. diplomatic compound
In a May 3, 2012, email, the State Department denied a request by a group of Special Forces assigned to protect the U.S. embassy in Libya to continue their use of a DC- 3 airplane for security operations throughout the country.
The subject line of the email, on which slain Ambassador Chris Stevens was copied, read: “Termination of Tripoli DC-3 Support.”
Was funding a problem?
Four days later, on May 7, the State Department authorized the U.S. embassy in Vienna to purchase a $108,000 electric vehicle charging station for the embassy motor pool’s new Chevrolet Volts.
$47,500 was spent in March on a Chevy Volt for the American Embassy in Oslo.
-----------------------------------------
Government records show the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, spent more than $40,000 on copies of Obama's "Dreams from my Father."
The embassy in Greece paid more than $5,000 for "Dreams from my Father"
In South Korea, the U.S. Embassy spent $6,061 for "Dreams from my Father"
In Indonesia, the U.S. Embassy spent almost $4,000 on hardcover copies of Obama's book "The Audacity of Hope"
Just two days after that purchase, the embassy spent $5,000 on English-version copies of both books.
the State Department $5 million for fancy crystal stem and barware for its embassies around the world.
$1 million for a single granite sculpture set to adorn the new American Embassy in London.
State Department Spent 4.5 Million for Embassy Art
If money was an issue (which it wasn't) maybe its how you spend the money that is the problem.
