>" Use of CS in war is prohibited under the terms of the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention, signed by most nations in 1993 with all but five other nations signing between the years of 1994 through 1997. The reasoning behind the prohibition is pragmatic: use of CS by one combatant could easily trigger retaliation with much more toxic chemical weapons such as nerve agents. Only five nations have not signed the Chemical Weapons Convention and are therefore unhindered by restrictions on the use of CS gas: Angola, Egypt, North Korea, Somalia, and Syria.[18]
Domestic police use of CS is legal in many countries, however, as the Chemical Weapons Convention prohibits only military use... "<
>" Members of the United States armed forces are exposed to CS during initial training, and during training refresher courses or equipment maintenance exercises, using CS tablets that are melted on a hotplate. This is to demonstrate the importance of properly wearing a gas or protective mask, as the agent's presence quickly reveals an improper fit or seal of the mask's rubber gaskets against the face. Following exposure while wearing a mask, recruits are ordered to remove the masks and endure exposure in the room for one minute. These exercises also encourage confidence in the ability of the equipment to protect the wearer from such chemical attacks. Such an event is a requirement for graduation from United States Army Basic Training, Air Force Basic Military Training, Navy Basic Training, and Marine Corps recruit training.[62] CS gas in the form of grenades is also used extensively in the United States Marine Corps in some service schools. CS gas is used during the final field exercise of the Scout Sniper Basic Course to simulate being compromised. In addition, it is used during the 25 km (16 mi) escape-and-evasion exercise ("Trail of Tears"), the last event before graduation from the course. It is also used during several events in the Marine Corps Basic Reconnaissance Course (BRC) including some rucksack runs and escape-and-evasion exercises. While students going through the course are given the opportunity to bring and wear a gas mask for the event, usually none are worn because once donned, gas masks could not be removed until the end of the exercise. This could last anywhere from 3–12 hours and would make running 25 km while wearing 125 lb (57 kg) of gear virtually impossible.
[edit] VietnamIt has been reported that thousands of tons of CS gas were used by the U.S. forces in Vietnam to bring Viet Cong into the open. It was also used by the North Vietnamese forces in some battles like Hue in 1968 or during the Easter Offensive in 1972 "<

The American people, as a whole, do not care about whether or not Banghazi was the result of a spontaneous protest, or a planned attack by a terrorist group
What lies?
Be specific
Good Lord, this administration is run like the mob. These details are disgusting.
Hillary and Obama actually blamed this on an obscure video that no one had seen until they mentioned it?
Criminal.
Don't care
Is the Fox News still making hay about this?
Sounds like a CONSPIRACY THEORY to me.
You can have as many visions as you like, but Rice's statements did not stop the FBI from doing anything
Then why are you posting in this thread ?
Just understand that millions of Americans DO care and don't like being lied to by their President.
This sums up a lot about you and American leftist in general that put their personal hand outs ahead of other peoples lives.

They do however care about being lied to.
Benghazi attack : The Two-Way : NPR
According to this, they tried sending in troops, but there were no troops close enough to get there in time.
also:
Is not using the super secret CIA time machine an impeachable offense?
(Normally, I don't like using NPR as a source here because it will be attacked. However, since the Daily Caller and WND are being used by the right these days....)
This is all utter nonsense. How did they know how much time they had before it was all over? That second group should have been given the fly orders even if it was assumed the consulate was already over run.
The argument that they did nothing because they had no forces in the area is weak pablum for their supporters to consume. They should have had a full detail of security on site prior to the attacks anyway given that there had already been 1 attack on the consulate that blew a 12 foot hole in the wall.... but even ignoring that, there were TWO attacks on the consulate that covering a total of 7 hours. A full compliment of security forces should have at least been on route by the time the SECOND ATTACK began 5 hours later.
None of this was done. The ONLY forces to arrive on the scene to assist were the guys that chartered their own aircraft to get there (they got there before the second attack!), and they died on the rooftop defending the consulate while the administration did jack sh*t.
Moreover, this reportedly top secret site (the libs were quick to blast the Republicans for mentioning it was a CIA data site) wasn't secured for 18 days after the attack. It is a criminally negligent clusterboink that was in slow motion fail from the moment that first attach blew a hole in the wall a month earlier to the point when the second attack started and and the President president still couldn't be arsed to get off his f**king ass.
There was nothing new revealed during yesterday's hearings.
Most of these details have come out since I posted this 6 months ago.
Yea, wev'e always known Obama and Hillary were scum of the earth and would easily trade American lives for political expediency.
The Cons here have kown since day one it was a lie.
The Libs ? Well they have chosen the path of " denial and diversion" as they're faced with the obvious. It's such a low life thing to do, to apologize for these POS politicians and to offer up diversions.
While those Americans died, Obama " went to bed" and Hillary called the SCEOND IN COMMAND AT 2 AM, and din't ask him about a " Protest", didn't care.
Go ahead, keep thinking this is over, because yesterdays testimony proved you were lied to and Obama and Hillary had so little Compassion for those there, they concocted a huge lie, and told any security available to stand down.
Looks like Issa's kangaroo court has fizzled. Kind of like his Fast and Furious "investigation".
Poor conservatives, their lies just don't take anymore.
Nothing new was revealed at the hearings. No evidence of conspiracy,no proof of cover up.
Nothing has changed.
