No harm done, just a President amd State Department politicizing the deaths of four Americans right before an election.
Sorry, right wingers, there was no stand down order in Benghazi.
APNewsBreak: No 'Stand Down' Order in Benghazi - ABC News

The testimony of nine military officers undermines contentions by Republican lawmakers that a "stand-down order" held back military assets that could have saved the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans killed at a diplomatic outpost and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya.
The "stand-down" theory centers on a Special Operations team of four — a detachment leader, a medic, a communications expert and a weapons operator with his foot in a cast — who were stopped from flying from Tripoli to Benghazi after the attacks of Sept. 11-12, 2012, had ended. Instead, they were instructed to help protect and care for those being evacuated from Benghazi and from the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli.
The senior military officer who issued the instruction to "remain in place" and the detachment leader who received it said it was the right decision and has been widely mischaracterized. The order was to remain in Tripoli and protect some three dozen embassy personnel rather than fly to Benghazi some 600 miles away after all Americans there would have been evacuated. And the medic is credited with saving the life of an evacuee from the attacks.
Transcripts of hours of closed-door interviews with the military leaders by the House Armed Services and Oversight and Government Reform committees were made public for the first time on Wednesday. The Associated Press had reviewed the material ahead of its release.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the Oversight panel, has suggested Hillary Rodham Clinton gave the order, though as secretary of state at the time, she was not in the military chain of command.

Conservatives do not get to say **** about politicizing the death of those people.
Sure we do. Obama and the Democrats have been politicizing the deaths of these four Americans since the night of the attack.
No, that's you guys. You never gave a **** about them. You never wanted to find the problem and fix it. You wanted to hurt Obama.
Oh FFS, save your faux indignation for someone else.
I don't buy that you have any sincere concerns for these people for one second.
I knew Sean Smith. Any more stupid notions?
edit: You just had to google that name, didn't you?
No, that's you guys. You never gave a **** about them. You never wanted to find the problem and fix it. You wanted to hurt Obama.
Sure we do. Obama and the Democrats have been politicizing the deaths of these four Americans since the night of the attack.
Not for nothing, but Obama doesn't need the GOP to do anything in order to hurt himself. He's very competent doing that all on his own.
Tim-

GOP ConservaTEAs have been singing "4 dead in Ben--gha--zi" since that terrible day. What short memories these "mission accomplished" folks have of 9/11 and the disastrous CHOICE to destabilize Iraq. Everyday 22 more Iraqi Veterans commit suicide and "silence of the lambs" .
No, that's you guys. You never gave a **** about them. You never wanted to find the problem and fix it. You wanted to hurt Obama.

This is also the only thing they can come up with against Hilary.
Reminds me of elevating terrorist alerts and saying vote for us or die. But, don't you have to prove your cliam?
Yes, her standing in front of the Coffins of four Americans that she was in charge of defending while she perpetuates the lies about a internet video, as she choses to politicize the deaths of these four Americans while their Parents and families mourn them isn't an issue at all. :doh
We will see how far that gets the GOP in 2016.
It should REMIND you that YOUR Political party chose to politicize the deaths of four American citizens.
