billvon 3,118 #2 November 27, 2012 For background, this followed up this on-air conversation: ================== Fox: When you have four people dead including the first US ambassador in more than 30 years, how do you call that hype? Ricks: How many security contractors died in Iraq, do you know? Fox: I don't. Ricks: No, nobody does, because nobody cared. We know that several hundred died, but there was never an official count done, of security contractors dead in Iraq. So when I see this focus on what was essentially a small fire fight, I think number one, I've covered a lot of fire fights, it's impossible to figure out what happens in them sometimes. And second, I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political partly because Fox was operating as a wing of the Republican party. Fox: All right. Tom Ricks, thanks very much for joining us today. Ricks: You're welcome. ==================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funjumper101 15 #3 November 30, 2012 Where are all the right wing conservatards contesting this? The facts are that the Congress has cut funding for State department security. The conservatards don't seem to grasp that fact. Likely because none of their fantasy "news" sources would mention such an important fact. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
