Most federal government jobs were created so that someone at the top could get a higher grade level. Jobs are not often created because there is an actual need.
Actual scenario:
A GS-9 wanted to be a GS-11 and he's part of the "team" so he creates a plan.
He created more GS-7 job descriptions, then promote three already GS-7 pals to GS-9 to oversee the newly hired GS-7s. Now the government will promote him to GS-11 because he oversees three GS-9s. Everybody wins, right?
Only problem none of these people are really needed!

The problem with your scenario is a GS-9 doesn't have the authority to either create GS-7 jobs or to promote 7's to GS-9 positions.

Is it possible we didn't find it becuz it got moved to another country?

But it does not change the fact that the consulate asked for additional security which was denied because it would have shown that the situation was not as under control as the Obama administration wanted to pretend it was. Nor does it change the fact that other than the men from Tripoli - who apparently went of their own volition , no help was sent in the seven hours the consulate and then the annex were under attack. Glenn Doherty and Ty Woods died in the last hour of that attack. Do you really not want to at least know why no support was sent? No. I want our people home in America safe and sound. We need to get the hell out of there so we aren't waiting around to be targets. We keep sending Americans to dangerous, useless, hellholes, where the population believes we are there to steal any resources they have, and kill anyone who interferes with our "presence" - then we are shocked - shocked - when we are attacked. Imagine if hundreds or thousands of heavily armed Muslins decided to invade Union County and make sure nobody in Union County was supporting Anti-Muslim groups. Think anyone would be shocked to discover people in Union County start shooting and blowing the invaders up ? Just save us a ton of money and lots of American lives and being our people home.

Please stop. We are Americans- we are "exceptional". When we invade other countries people are expected to be happy about it - and we are shocked - shocked to discover what the British and the Soviet Union discovered - imperialism is expensive in both treasure and blood.

He succeeded his adoptive father Tiberius. His uncontrolled* passions resulted in manifest insanity. He was noted for his cruelty and tyranny.(Caligula was very tall, with spindly legs and a thin neck.) Caligula's was described as a noble and moderate ruler during the first two years of his rule. After this, the focus is on his cruelty, extravagance, and sexual perversity, presenting him as an insane tyrant. _________ Obama asked the Supreme Court to overturn California's gay marriage ban and put forward a broad legal argument that could ultimately be applied to other state prohibitions across the country. It marks the first time a president has asked the Supreme Court to expand the right of gays and lesbians to wed. Obama's friend-of-the-court brief, filed Thursday evening, unequivocally calls on the justices to strike down California's Proposition 8 ballot measure. California is one of eight states that give gay couples all the benefits of marriage through civil unions or domestic partnership but don't allow them to wed. The brief argues that in granting same-sex couples those rights, California has already acknowledged that gay relationships bear the same hallmarks as straight ones. "They establish homes and lives together, support each other financially, share the joys and burdens of raising children, and provide care through illness and comfort at the moment of death,"...[Obama administration] If the Supreme Court goes along with Obama it may result in gay marriage becoming legal in the seven other states: Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and Rhode Island. If the Supreme Court goes along with Obama ALL anti-gay marriage state constitutional amendments may fall. And exactly why do you even care if a gay gets married??? Go to Church and worship as you please, do as you please within the law and let others do the same. I for one think they should be entitled to the same living hell I was subjedted to for 20 years, its only fair.

Poetic Justice: The libs on Topix criticizing and laughing at the conservatives who are concerned about gun control by posting, "THE SKY IS FALLING." Is everyone listening(better to look at what he does) to Obama now in regard to sequestration? "THE SKY IS FALLING. THE SKY IS FALLING". It just doesn't get any better than this. lol

The Bush Family is the reason why we're in this mess. They have been screwing and killing americans since WW11. When Bush's families assets were took for aiding the Nazi's. Bush started a oil company with Osama Bin Laden's brother and he lived in Texas. In the same town as Bush. Ya'll B**ch about Benghazi, but the Bush family is directly responsible for thousands, if not millions of american deaths. Bush is laying low because he knows he should be in prison. He is the reason why I will not ever as will not alot of americans vote on the republican ticket ever again. Search for Bin laden and the Bush family and see what you come up with.

If we don't secure our border with Mexico. We will suffer another attack that will make 9/11 look small in comparison. Watch the movie Act Of Valor. It's a movie that stars real navy seals and is based on real events. They kill each other for pennies down there. They'd probally kill any one of us for free.

I can't actually believe that there are so many people that are so busy blaming Bush for everything and giving the Islamic dictatorships and terrorist a free ride. Islam has a goal of taking over the world and making the world into an Islamic world. They are using every method known including lies, deceptions, wars, terrorist acts and propaganda to further their goals. It seems to me that there are three forces at work. They are now fighting it out and we are caught in the middle and are paying the price. They are Islam, Communism, and the global capitalist. Each has the desire and the ability to rule the world. You doubters of a free and prosperous U.S. must decide which of these forces you wish to win. You had better be right as there will be no going back. You had better start demanding explanations from this current Administration on the coverups and corruption that now exist within it, before we end up being covered up with 6 feet of dirt.
