LOOK... it's TouristSecretary!!!
It shows up in more places than TouristGuy,
only with less class, style and substance...
she's Vaporware, just an empty crusty.
Yep. As did 0, Panetta and Biden. And they;re still looking for the killers, ala OJ.
This needs to be kept front-of-mind when hearing the DemocRat's talking points about anything regarding Benghazi:
Issues:
1) the State Department had the necessary budget
2) wanted Benghazi to become a permanent consulate
3) it was 1 of only 15 sites out of 300 globally to be rated at the 2 highest levels
4) and MOST DAMNING - ignored multiple formal requests to bring it up to legal standards after multiple, serious security incidents
There are only 15 facilities around the world rated "high" or "critical" - out of almost 300. The Benghazi site was rated "critical" (the highest threat) and needed H.R. Clinton's authorization to operate it while at the officially documented, legally deficient state of security, before the attack.
H.R. Clinton told Stevens, presumably ordered by Obama, that this admin's goal was to make Benghazi a permanent consulate. But, career state department employees were threatened, and demoted, for using official channels to make basic requests for security before the mid-term election.
Benghazi was pushed off until after the elections. Obama won. Mission accomplished. That’s the difference that it makes.
“The astonishing thing about the administration’s Benghazi cover-up is that it actually thought it could get away with it.”
They did get away with it.
Hillary was the first to use the "Youtube video" excuse.
10:38-39 p.m., 9/11/12. @StateDept tweets: " #SecClinton: I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. http://state.gov #Libya" and "#SecClinton: We have confirmed one @StateDept officer was killed in #Libya. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss." Hillary Clinton issues a statement, saying, "I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. As we work to secure our personnel and facilities, we have confirmed that one of our State Department officers was killed. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who have suffered in this attack." She adds: "Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind."
That was when Hillary herself took over the Cairo embassy Twitter account and personally posted. (anyone who thinks she wasn't directing the earlier Tweets is smoking something) That was at 10:38 PM Eastern Time. That would have been 4:38 AM Sept. 13th in Benghazi. About the time Woods and Doherty were making their last stand.
Worth a mention they made Petraeus resign right after the election because they knew they had changed his talking points.

Carney told reporters last Nov. 28. "The White House and the State Department have made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of those two institutions were changing the word 'consulate' to 'diplomatic facility' because 'consulate' was inaccurate."
This is what Carney slithered around the most today...at least a dozen times I would say.
After listening to him I still don't know what he was trying to say.
It's quite obvious now both State and the WH changed much more than "consulate"....NOT the CIA.
And the government had the video maker arrested and jailed. He is still in jail today and won’t get out until June. Where are the Reps in demanding that he be released immediately?
And...
In blaming it on an inflammatory video the Obama campaign could use the same tact to deflect criticism they might label “inflammatory”. They tried to spin this impossibly to their advantage.
The bold face lie to the families of those dead in Benghazi was just the cost of doing business.
Then there was the stomach-churning pantomime of Obama giving her a supportive pat on the back as if they were actually saddened by the deaths.
We’ve moved beyond No Shame into something approaching pure evil.
Hillary Clinton is a liar, just like her husband.
Today, Jay Carney threw her under the bus, claiming all false changes to the talking points were conducted by THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
The House Oversight Committee needs to drag Hilderbeast into a hearing (in a big poacher’s net if necessary), and make her choose. Herself or Barry Soetero.

For once the crime is worse than the coverup. When Obama got drunk and went to bed , what possible assurance could he have had that many of the other Americans that were there (aren’t there supposed to be 100 or more, some still in the hospital) were not going to be massacred as well?
“Ambassador Christopher Stevens was aware of the threat and had warned Benghazi could not be defended after what security they had was withdrawn.”
If he was aware of the lapse in security, why did he go into Benghazzi anyway? Did they ORDER him to go to Benghazzi after he had warned them it could not be defended?
The WH is saying the GOP knew about the emails 2 months ago and wasn’t concerned about them and ignored them. Thats why obama wins this and gets away with it.
IBD is putting out some good stuff today,
