So there must be policies then that we need to look at to see, if this didn't result from budget considerations, why did we end up having it?

If we're spending $1 billion on global warming in this budget, wouldn't it be better for all of us and more faithful to those people serving us to allocate those funds for security?

I do not believe that what we did was adequate, and what we are doing now is not adequate to tie this down to specific terrorist organizations.

It was a terrorist thing, that is acknowledged now.

I am sorry, Mr. Ambassador, but your statement that the President and Secretary Clinton made clear that it was a terrorist attack right afterwards is not true, it is not accurate.

Were budget considerations any part of your decision as to what level of security they should have at the Benghazi consulate, and her answer was an emphatic no, no.

Everything he is saying, Mr. Chairman, is sinful against the United States of America.

If we are going to invest taxpayer money and whether it is the oil industry or any other industry, that developing technology for them to make a profit, the taxpayers should have an ownership right of some kind on the technology that is…

Are we willing to help them?

The turmoil that we are now experiencing in the Middle East is a result of specific policy and approaches made by this administration

We are now facing the consequences not of a proof of sincerity which this administration... but a projection of weakness by the Obama administration.

We all remember the apology tour. We all remember the lack of support for America's friends.

Our enemies seem to be encouraged by the current policy of this administration because they are now more aggressive than they were 6 years ago.

I don't know what was going on in his head, but it's not likely that the national Security Council and the CIA didn't do their job, thus the president wasn't informed.

I think there is less likelihood of that than that the president was in battle mode and in the middle of a campaign and felt that any type of things that made it look like the Islamic threat, the radical -- the radical Islamic threat is…

The president was notified right away as to what this was going on.

I think it is less likely that there is incompetence at the CIA and incompetence at the National Security Council that they -- that they ended up giving the president of the United States false information.

The president was notified right away as to what this was going on.

When he spoke before the United Nations over and over again making reference to -- to movie rage. This is, you know, this is evident to everyone who was listening to this show tonight, they can remember that.

What is clear is that this administration, including the president himself, has intentionally misinformed -- read that, lied -- to the American people in the aftermath of this tragedy.

President Obama lied to the American people.

I think the answer, are we better off in the Middle East? Is peace more likely? Is Israel more secure? Is the United States more likely to have a good relationship with the countries in the Middle East? The answer is no.

Even though the Science Committee prides itself on bipartisanship, at times, the discussions got a little heated. Luckily, we've had Jerry Costello there to help cool things off. Jerry's business-like approaches and pleasant smile have…
