"New reports prompt questions about perplexing security decisions after attack"
JERUSALEM – As media reports present evidence the U.S. has played a central role in arming Syrian rebels, new questions now emerge about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s involvement in the controversial scheme.
The questions prompt a second look at the perplexing security decisions made by Clinton and other top Obama administration officials the night of the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on American facilities in Benghazi.
One of those key decisions reportedly delayed an investigative FBI team from arriving at the Benghazi site for 24 days. The site was widely reported to have contained classified documents.
WND raised the Thursday of whether Clinton was telling the truth when she claimed in a Senate hearing that she had no information about whether the U.S. mission in Libya was procuring or transferring weapons to Turkey and other Arab countries.

Needs Hill to take the hit, maybe to avoid impeachment.
Yep. The people handling Nixon in Watergate on her side already established how stupid she is.
The weird thing is the heat was never on Barry from day 1. Sure conservatives were calling him out but no one in the media did, and nothing mattered as it was swept under the rug. Barry has nothing to lose now. He’s going down with the ship and the ship is the USA.
Nope. Her boss a very liberal but ethical individual threw her off of the committee and refused to recommend her for "any position of responsibility" thereafter. He said that she was dishonest and unethical among other things. "Stupid", yes but that is the least of it.
Until I see it happen, I will not believe that obama will allow 1 2016 election.
Yes, that’s pretty stupid of her.
