Report: GOP senators won’t confirm Kerry until Clinton testifies on Benghazi
Examiner ^ | 12./26/12 | Joel Gehrke

Republican senators will refuse to confirm Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as Secretary of State until the nation’s current top diplomat, Hillary Clinton, testifies about her handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack.

“The Senate is expected to take up Kerry’s nomination in early January, but multiple Republican senators have already said they won’t agree to a vote on Kerry’s nomination until Clinton testifies about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi,” The Cable’s Josh Rogin notes.

Clinton backed out of testifying at a congressional hearing last week after fainting and suffering a concussion. She was the first cabinet-level official to acknowledge that terrorists played a role in the assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.

“For some time, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb and other groups have launched attacks and kidnappings from northern Mali into neighboring countries,” Clinton said during a United Nations meeting in New York on September 26. “Now, with a larger safe haven and increased freedom to maneuver, terrorists are seeking to extend their reach and their networks in multiple directions. And they are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions underway in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi,” (emphasis added).

GOP Senators would be wrong to confirm Kerry PERIOD.

The man lied to Congress and committed an act of naked treason to serve as a propagandist for the enemy (he even now admits that his claims of war crimes observed and participated in were the exaggerations of an impassioned youthful John Kerry).

Since they’re not going to reference Cross Border Authority why bother?

It’s pointless.

Poor dumb broad doesn't dare testify and tell the truth. Her career would be in danger from the communists empire that occupies Washington.

What I said last week when her office indicated she would not appear at the hearings. No confirmation hearings for Lurch until she testifies.

The witch finally finds somebody who says "no" to her.

Lets hope they don't back down now. And let's hope she gets a thorough briefing.

Good idea. Get all the info while she's still on the clock. Otherwise, she might say she "Doesn't recall" later.
I hope the stupid party pulls together on this.

Remember the story about JFnK attending a VVAW meeting where they discussed killing U.S. Senators.

They’ll fold as soon as the first bad word comes from the Beltway media.
