For not having procedures in place for these kind of emergencies, that could have been a quicker response perhaps? For trusting the whole inner circle of intelligence and the people handling the security she appointed? perhaps? For not foreseeing this event in her Crystal Ball?and the hearing was invaluable for the clarity it provided.
"Here’s what the Benghazi committee found in Thursday’s hearing. Two hours into Mrs. Clinton’s testimony, Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan referred to an email Mrs. Clinton sent to her daughter, Chelsea, at 11:12 the night of the attack, or 45 minutes after the secretary of state had issued a statement blaming YouTube-inflamed mobs."
"That same evening, Mrs. Clinton spoke on the phone with Libyan President Mohamed Magariaf, around 8 p.m. The notes from that conversation, in a State Department email, describe her as saying: “We have asked for the Libyan government to provide additional security to the compound immediately as there is a gun battle ongoing, which I understand Ansar as Sharia [sic] is claiming responsibility for.” Ansar al Sharia is al Qaeda’s affiliate on the Arabian Peninsula. So several hours into the attack, Mrs. Clinton already believed that al Qaeda was attacking U.S. facilities."
"The next afternoon, Mrs. Clinton had a call with the Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil. The notes from it are absolutely damning. The secretary of state tells him: “We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack—not a protest.” And yet Mrs. Clinton, and Ms. Rice and Mr. Obama for days and days continued to spin the video lie."
She Knew All Along
so what? She told the committee she took responsibility for Benghazi. Whats so damn difficult to understand?
how damn dumb are RW's ?
OK, what does that mean? What is she exactly taking responsibility for? The death of Stevens and 3 others? What is the penalty for taking such responsibility?
They were trying to determine if Benghazi could or would stay opened. If it closed, then they would not hire the appropriate staff of security that was needed, if it was going to stay opened and become more important, then they would hire the appropriate security kind of thing...
