I agree the administration seemed more concerned with the protests than that specific attack, at least publicly... But I can understand why they'd be concerned, Benghazi already happened and these protests were growing. Its clear from the OP Wallace was asking Carney and Rice about the worldwide protests, not Benghazi.

Any excuse to stick to your partisan hackery. 700 billion is just what DoD admits to spending. We spend hundreds of billions more on defense through the State Department, Veterans Affairs, Department of Energy, and several other avenues including black budgets. The fact is that resources are perfectly sufficient to provide embassy security. The embassy security appropriation that you're referring to is for construction and maintenance, and it was still over a billion and a half dollars for FY 2013.
The fact is, if the President wanted to deploy marines or additional State Department security, he could have. Instead the administration ignored intelligence that didn't fit in with their "Al Qaeda is beaten" rhetoric.John Brown did nothing wrong.
