Issa to Hillary: Why did State refuse requests to bolster Benghazi security?
Hotair ^

Posted on 10/02/2012 9:48:08 AM PDT by chessplayer

The Right Scoop calls this a “bombshell,” which may underestimate the impact of the question posed by House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Despite the CNN discovery of the late Ambassador Chris Stevens’ journal in which Stevens outlined his fears of terrorist attacks, the Obama administration has told the media that Stevens didn’t push those security issues with the State Department. According to the letter Issa sent today to Clinton, that may be yet another untruth pushed by the White House:

OK, OK, I exaggerated.

I should have said: "she looks pretty much like any random Wellesley graduate student."

-—— the CNN discovery ———

It’s time to get real, for truth. Who gave CNN the diary?

It didn’t fall off the turnip truck and wasn’t delivered by a stork.

Some one in Libya, a representative of the United States Government, in the embassy, gave it to CNN.

The fiction of discovery and found is a lie

Did Obama and/or Clinton set Chris Stevens up to be Vince Fostered?

This situation does not pass the smell test.
Of course nothing either one of them touches does.

I was wondering if a shipment of weapons was being 'delivered' to Stevens and his 'weapons finder' staff of 2 former SEALs. This was a CIA operation to recover weapons provided to the groups overthrowing Ghadafi.

Perhaps the rear door of a delivery truck was lifted and the delivery men turned out to be an ambush team with trucks full of loaded weapons. Our staff was ambushed and died as a result. Would not surprise me if the perps were Muslim Brotherhood and NOT Al Qaeda. THAT alone would be something Team 0bama does not want us to know.. THAT could be the coverup here and the reason the FBI is being held back.

Hillary Clinton is an utter failure.

I'm sometimes overly naive in such situations (and I'm certainly NOT a Bill or Hillary fan), but it seems to me that Hillary's body language indicates her disdain for 0bama. Because he is a nano-manager (for you 0bama supporters, that's worse than a micro-manager), it seems totally plausible to me that he is the one that prevented additional security in Benghazi - inspite of the fact that it was September 11 and there had been threats by the enemy and warnings by the Ambassador.

But what really amazes me is the number of people, including Hillary, who must be lying and covering up for him, not just in this case but in virtually everything he touches. He must have really incriminating files on all of them, or the Chicago mob has paid them a visit.

We all guessed this based on Steven’s journal.

I agree about Hillary. She is just a pushy know it all bitch whose real claim to fame was from being a “victim” of her cheating husband. Victim - no way.

I’ve asked over and over if anyone can think of anything she has done as SOS that is to her credit as a diplomat. No one has responded with anything. There must be something but have no idea what it is.

" Why wasn’t every foreign embassy’s security increased on 9/11. "

This is beyond incompetence.... there were Islamic attacks even months before 9/11/12.
Why wasn't our foreign Embassies security beefed up after the attacks in May ?
Once again, this goes beyond incompetence.

All kind of wild speculations are running wild because the media are not doing their jobs.
Heard another report that the Libyan government won't issue the FBI passports.
Another convenient excuse ?
I always thought that the FBI was a domestic investigative agency.

My guess is that a friend of Stevens gave it to the media....with good intentions...and for some big bucks...like $3.

I think our government was pretty upset that the media had it. Where is it now?

If Issa wants to get the public’s attention before the election, he should have Boehner recall the House and hold hearings now.

Boehner???

In a country of crazies, no set up is necessary.

The problem was in the security....period....

“Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012. It was clearly never, as Administration officials once insisted, the result of a popular protest,” the committee’s chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and subcommittee chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, write. “In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the Committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington.” ......

And now compare that with the latest excuse:

( * " The Obama administration has told the media that Stevens didn’t push those security issues with the State Department " * )

Hillary is a shoe-in for disdain against any and all threats to her presider status as the smartest girl in the room, and will hand upside down anyone who dares tweak the narrative.

She, ALONE, needs to take the fall for leaving the embassy, the Marines, and a US ambassador unarmed, sitting ducks for slaughter, rape and pillage, entrusted to foreign barbarian watch teams who desert on call.

Hillary is Custer in low heels.
