Clinton: Nobody more committed to security

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton insisted on Wednesday that the department is moving swiftly and aggressively to strengthen security at U.S. missions worldwide after the deadly Sept. 11 raid on the consulate in Libya.

In probably her last appearance on Capitol Hill as America’s top diplomat, Clinton once again took full responsibility for the department’s missteps leading up to assault at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. …

Clinton’s testimony was focusing on the Libya attack after more than three months of Republican charges that the Obama administration ignored signs of a deteriorating security situation there and cast an act of terrorism as mere protests over an anti-Muslim video in the heat of a presidential election. Washington officials suspect that militants linked to al-Qaida carried out the attack.

“It's been a cover-up from the beginning,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the newest member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Tuesday. …

The only security a Clinton is concerned with is their own.

The Hillabeast is a disgusting human being who would be doing roadside law had she not boinked her grifter hubby.

They actually believe they can just get up there and say the words, go through the motions, and that the MSM will herald their proclamations as ‘groundbreaking truth’ to the rest of the world?

In truth, they hate Republicans, they loathe their having to appear before them. As such, the bullshit they spew is patently Kabuki and is totally absurd. The only good that could come from such a meeting is to outright call her a lying bitch in front of everyone and let it go at that.

Wow. I bet Huma is jealous.

With only a couple exceptions, the tongue baths that she got from those Senators, (Especially Babs Boxer), were very passionate.

I’m not so much concern with the Ambassadorial safety as much as a I am with the safety of the day-to-day professionals and the military security forces who aren’t a bunch of Democrat lackey’s who bundled an a$$load of cash contributions to re-elect our Clown-in-Chief.

That, unfortunately, is the problem.

“What difference does it make?”

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?? Well, let’s put it this way, Mizz Clinton, four murdered Americans is something to be concerned about. Would it make any difference to you if one of them happened to be your daughter, Chelsea? Would it make a difference then?

I am embarrassed that the Dems can get away with all the BS they spew. But they have been in charge of the education system for decades and this is what happens when indoctrination is more important than the imparting of knowledge by most teachers. If there was an impartial News Media instead of the Obama-Pravda we now have, this crew would never have gotten near DC.

The security that surrounds Herself, the Cold and Joyless, probably exceeds even that of the Current Occupant of the White Hut himself.

Of course, the security of that entity known as “the United? States of America” is of much lower priority, if that concept even registers with the Current Regime.

But be assured that Herself would have coached and ushered ANY warm body with whom Herself may have joined up with, to some high position of power. Billy Jeff was just some exceptional pliable medium by which Herself was molded into “the smartest woman in America”.

Billy Jeff would have been pumping gas at a service station in Little Rock twenty years ago without Herself.

If you are Secretary of State and you don't know the security status of your people in a highly volatile location like Benghazi you are negligent and incompetent and

REPUBLICANS SHOULD HAVE DEMANDED YOUR RESIGNATION.

But they did not.

“2009 Nobel Peace Prize nominee Jim Garrow shockingly claims he was told by a top military veteran that the Obama administration’s “litmus test” for new military leaders is whether or not they will obey an order to fire on U.S. citizens.”
