Doesn't it seem silly to quibble over whether it was a consulate or a diplomatic post, then claim it is a CIA post, when all along it has been represented by the govt as diplomatic, to the point that Clinton accepts responsibility for it's lack of security?

Obama did not deny requests for help in Benghazi: Aide
By Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – Sat, Oct 27, 2012
you will need to read the brazen falsehoods for yourself... this man portrays himself a warrior-for-peace but relies on the tricky lawyer language to defend his actions/ in-actions
Let's have a timely investigation whether he 'refused' help to the Embassy employees & Ambassador in real time... as he watched the live coverage from the 2 drones above Benghazi !
parsing words = refused vs deny...

Turkish diplomats were visiting Syria, Turkey has been accused of allowing the CIA to funnel weapons in to Syria. The diplomats in question were from the very provenience that is alleged to be where they are funneling the weapons through. Both candidates have already stated in the debates they would arm the Syrian rebels. It is likely this is already happening. Stevens was previously involved in Libya arming the rebels there. It's likely he was continuing such an operation to aid the Syrian rebels.
We very well may have an administration flunky pushing the idea right here on ATS.

Why do I get the sinking feeling that confusion over who had authority to make the call is going to become the meme on this issue. Attempting to present this as two separate attacks in two locations under two different US jurisdictions... Anyone else feel this coming?
Hold on, this is something I know about.

And Obama did nothing about the major oil spill in the Gulf too. He doesnt know how or what to do when disaster strikes. He just does nothing
Investigative journalist Aaron Klein has reported that the “consulate in Benghazi” actually was no such thing. He observes that although administration officials have done nothing to correct that oft-repeated characterization of the facility where the murderous attack on Stevens and his colleagues was launched, they call it a “mission.” What Mr. Klein describes as a “shabby, nondescript building” that lacked any “major public security presence” was, according to an unnamed Middle Eastern security official, “routinely used by Stevens and others to coordinate with the Turkish, Saudi and Qatari governments on supporting the insurgencies in the Middle East, most prominently the rebels opposing Assad’s regime in Syria.”
We know that Stevens‘ last official act was to hold such a meeting with an unidentified “Turkish diplomat.” Presumably, the conversation involved additional arms shipments to al Qaeda and its allies in Syria. It also may have involved getting more jihadi fighters there. After all, Mr. Klein reported last month that, according to sources in Egyptian security, our ambassador was playing a “central role in recruiting jihadists to fight Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria.”

I can verify he wasn't some random dude. His rank and position in the military/intelligence hasn't been verified but he definitely worked in the intel world and knows exactly how it works. I know this because I worked in the military intelligence world from September 2001- October 2005. I held a Top Secret/SCI clearance and my main job was message traffic. Everything he said you don't know about it. Do you know what a FLASH message is? Have you ever heard of it before?

Obama could give a crap about the American people. He is a Muslim, he has stated that, ON CAMERA, many times.

- Unmasking disinfo agents -
This is something everyone should be very aware of.
" The CIA, FBI, Israeli Mossad, and other spy groups have "black budgets" in the tens of billions and are freely spending taxpayer dollars setting up fake "patriot" websites and radio programs and bankrolling trained disinformation agents. They also subsidize books and videos that specialize in defaming and smearing true patriots. Anyone who is genuinely and honestly exposing government corruption will eventually get on the list of these smear agents.
They'll stop at nothing, lying and deceiving, manufacturing false news reports and dredging up any personal junk they can get hold of, trying to spread confusion and chaos among patriotic Americans. "

Yes - it is a staple of movies and thrillers.
There's nothing he said you couldn't "learn" from reading Tom Clancy novels.
Othe than that yes he IS "just some annonymous dude" - made a great impact for himself tho - which is, of course, his likely motivation.
