"I saw people running and some of them were collecting parts of bodies," a witness said.

thats a simple question...



I figured we had. course we need money to do this. so the onus would be on the Republicans now by not giving out money for more security so now we have 9 more dead and thats 5 more than last time. How many people have to die in Benghazi before Republicans increase the funding for security ??
