You say the 'congress, etc.'. It is the Congress that funds. I suppose the point was that embassies and smaller installations were underfunded for security. A budget gets approved and funds have to go to where they are approved to go to. I suppose you would have to add up all of the embassies and smaller installations costs for security and see how much was given for security overall. Then you might see 'frickien underfunded'.

The records were retrieved from the U.S. Department of the Air Force, and show a breakdown of 17.8 hours in the air round-trip, at a rate of $206,337.00 per hour.
The exact total comes to $3,672,798.60.
In all, the government transparency group estimates that travel expenses for the Obama family’s trips to Hawaii over the last three years have cost taxpayers a whopping $15.5 million

Take the 7 mill and stick it where the sun dont shine!
Had it been a PRIORITY Obama and his chief foriegn policy advisor would have found funds to EITHER protected our ambassador or evacuated our ambassador.
HILLARYS foreign policy judgement disqualifies her from POTUS in my opinion.
Or did she advise Obama otherwise?
I don't need caps and accusations and talk about vacations.

The Secretary of State is all powerful and can prevent all harm to every Ambassador everywhere?
You're full of it. Read the NINE reports your buddies in Congress have whipped up for you.

The secretary of state is responsible for them, yes.
She knew they were underfunded yet left them in place.
I don't care if it is standard procedure. When someone dies the person responsible for overlooking that area is the one responsible...unless you are Crooked Hillary.
What do you mean "we just let these things go now"? We apprehended the leader of the militia that attacked our embassy.

Negligence is what occurred,

She failed and failed during the episode and failed so badly, she lied.

I guess you've forgotten that Stevens was advised to remove to Tripoli and that he decided to stay?
Not one previous Secretary of State has been held to be personally responsible when our embassies are attacked and Americans die ... what makes this one so special?
Oh yes, it's Hillary Clinton ... she who makes every Republican and right-winger wet their panties.
Give me a break.

So no one is responsible for the fudge up then.
And no one responsible is now running for president.
Wow I can't wait to see what happens if she wins.
She definitely will not be responsible, because well what does it matter in the aftermath?
The Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST) is the U.S. government’s only interagency, on-call, short-notice team poised to respond to terrorist incidents worldwide. The FEST deploys to assist and advise the U.S. Chief of Mission in assessing crises and coordinating U.S. government crisis response activities. The FEST includes representatives from the US Department of State, Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other appropriate agencies, such as the Department of Energy, as circumstances warrant. FEST composition is flexible and tailored to the specific incident and U.S. Embassy needs. The FEST provides specialized crisis response expertise to augment existing U.S. Mission and host government capabilities.
"Is Benghazi different? Absolutely," said Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an adjunct assistant professor in Georgetown University’s security studies program. One reason, he said, is that an American ambassador died in the attack, which hadn’t happened since the 1970s.

At this point, after four years of discussion and NINE Congressional investigations, it's public knowledge.
Keep obsessing over the old lady in the pantsuit though ... looks like she's going to be our next President.

As to why the Counterterrorism Security Group was not convened, National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CBS News "From the moment the President was briefed on the Benghazi attack, the response effort was handled by the most senior national security officials in governments. Members of the CSG were of course involved in these meetings and discussions to support their bosses."
It's absurd.
