Pretty sure 100% of attacks on US embassies are foriegn attacks.[
Wow, and here I thought you knew how to read. If a terrorist cell says we will STRIKE AMERICANS...does that statement even tell you WHAT PARTICULAR EMBASSY IT WILL TARGET!?
NO! It doesn't speculate that they would only TARGET embassies. They could have easily targeted a ritzy hotel where american contractors stay. Or cafe's where americans in other countries congregate...
SO HELL NO, nobody knew exactly that the stupid embassy was going to be hit, until it was hit. Not Hillary Clinton, not Mr. Stevens, not President Obama, not the CIA, FBI, NSA, Snowden, or even YOU.
Let's blow up a fricken building, just to watch the idiot republicans in congress start pointing fingers, "Well we need to find someone accountable for the loss of property and life..." No shit. Do they point the finger at the TERRORISTS? Really, lets talk about this. DOES CONGRESS point their finger at the Terrorists and say, "This group, these men, that carried out the attack are to blame for the loss of life."
Did they? NO! They all pointed their finger at a 2016 Presidentail Hopeful and in a foolish attempt to curtail those plans of a presidential run, if, IF, Hillary Clinton decided to run.
Deep down in your analytical thoughts, you know this is nothing more than political manuevering. They don't give a crap that Stevens died. They only care about using his death to their own political agenda of blocking a future presidential nomination of the democratic party.

Last time I checked, Hillary Clinton was not in charge of the state department during all those attacks.
And personally I don't care WHO you vote for. The only person I care about voting is myself.
Ambassador Stevens only did his JOB when requesting additional security, just like any other embassy, world wide. When an embassy receives reports, that a possible attack may take place, it just isn't ONE embassy being informed, it's all of them. Remember what I said. If a terrorist threat goes public, ALL embassies are informed of a POSSIBLE attack somewhere in the world. "We will attack americans..." Does not state WHERE. And since it does not state where, the state department addresses ALL embassies world wide of a security threat, and to take action. Most of that action is nothing more than HEIGHTENED ALERT STATUS. Now....do you think Stevens is the only mother sonofabitch that requested ADDITIONAL security? HOW many embassies world wide, possibly asked for additional security? 20? 50? 120+?
Do you think that Stevens should be immortalized as the only smart, intelligent piece of crap that he was, to request additional help?
Personally, I think your all a bunch of a-holes for not even taking this whole Bhengazi political firestorm with a grain of salt. Our embassies have been attacked world wide since 1964 and before that even. Bullets, bombs, riots, revolutions....YOU NAME IT.
And you pissants are attempting to glorify one moronic ambassadar and pin the blame on one woman? How many morons do I have to hammer this shit into? You want to come at me, like you believe that I don't know what's going on behind the congressional curtains? Go ahead, i'll throw that crap you fling right back in your face.
