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).

Wow. Pwned two loses with one shot!
That should be losers... :)
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).
They shouldn’t be confirming him at all!
She’s trying to run out the clock. It’s obvious as heck.
She doesn’t recall.
Since they’re not going to reference Cross Border Authority why bother?
It’s pointless.
Never change horses in the middle of a yellow stream.
Good tactical move, finally
What I said last week when her office indicated she would not appear at the hearings. No confirmation hearings for Lurch until she testifies.
Good tactical move, finally
Lets hope they don't back down now. And let's hope she gets a thorough briefing.
Bill says, “You’re screwed honey, they have the blood-stained bodies!”
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.
