— Then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Jan. 23, 2013:

“I wasn’t involved in the talking points process.... As I understand it, as I’ve been told, it was a typical interagency process where staff, including from the State Department, all participated, to try to come up with whatever was going to be made publicly available, and it was an intelligence product.”

“With all due respect,the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?”—Hillary Clinton

So, what was Stevens doing in an outlying consulate, as opposed to the central embassy?

Somehow the GOP is still missing the boat. They need to get somebody who was in Benghazi to testify. They could have asked the question-—what is the name of the person or person’s who part of Steven’s security detail that were in Benghazi and where are they now? THey aren’t CIA people and their jobs aren’t secret. They could be called to testify also..from where ever they are in the world .

The article hits on a key point -- fighters were only 2 to 3 hours away but there were no air-refueling tankers available.

My question is why the Pentagon did not have assets in place ... ... in just in case

Somebody, with what was going on Egypt, should have realized should be able to protect places like Fort Apache -- places in hostile territory -- on the anniversary of 9/11

I don't understand why the US Navy did not have a carrier task group in the area ... just in case...

I understand having one in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea, but why wasn't there a second one available in the Mediterrean...

And I am clearly baffled by having US fighters at N.A.T.O. bases nearby but no tankers.

That means the Republican as well as Dimwits dropped the ball. The Air Force as well as the Navy dropped the ball, as well as the Pentagon and the folks at Langley...

Republicans have needed to address the age/shortage of US tanker aircraft before they start dropping out of the sky like what happened recently (cause unknown, at least to me, at this point)
