Does anyone know if in this situation the other two branches of government are notified immediately? Was anyone in congress informed and when and anyone in the Judicial branch.

They remind me of cheap hoods who walk into a store and say, "Nice store you got here. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it."

Then they bump into something and knock it to the ground, breaking it. "Oh! Look at that! I'm so clumsy! I'm an idiot, that's what I am! A freakin' idiot! But anyway, what I was saying about your very lovely store ..."

Why would other branches be notified? Foreign policy and the military are in the Executive branch. Many presidents have sacrificed American lives for the sake of foreign policy.

Stupidity and incompetence. That is the best explanation they can come up with? In anywhere except politics you would lose your job fore being stupid and incompetent.

Precisely....

Hope they don’t expect a hands-in-pockets, head-down “gawrsh,” with a toe in the dirt apology is going to even come close to making this right!

So all GWB would have had to do was excrete THIS and he would have been loved and defended by Big Media without question?

“We’re portrayed by Democrats as either being lying or idiots, It’s actually closer to us being idiots.”

“...one Obama administration official who was part of the Benghazi response. “It’s actually closer to us being idiots.”

That makes me feel so much better. We actually have morons running the government. /s

I suspected as much, but this just makes it a truth.

Putin and the Chinese are very smart, very capable and very dangerous.

We have Barry and Dunces.

Either way it’s grounds for removal.

We can’t have idiots that get four people killed, including an ambassador (who essentially IS the president, speaks for the President, in a country), running a country, when they admit they’re idiots and got peopel killed due to their idiocy.

It’s still grounds for removal. Sorry. Epic fail. Dodging to “idiocy” doesn’t save your asses.

"..no it's actually CRIMINAL"

I believe it IS criminal on the part of Clinton since she had a legal responsibility to ensure all 15 sites that are rated "high" or "critical" be secure according to State Department standards. As I've posted elsewhere:

This needs to be kept front-of-mind with 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) was 1 of only 15 sites out of 300 globally to be rated at the 2 highest levels, is legally required to conform to upgraded security standards, and the Secretary of State (Clinton) must sign off on operating at substandard levels
4) and MOST DAMNING – Clinton ignored multiple formal requests to bring it up to legal standards after multiple, serious security incidents
5) The false narrative of a protest based on a YouTube video caused irreparable harm to the newly elected Libyan leader and caused a delay of the FBI getting to the scene by 18 days or more

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.

Ah yes, the old idiocy plea. I guess all is forgiven.

So, that idiocy led to 4 deaths.

Who is taking responsibility for those?

Nah. Idiocy is a junior high prank gone bad.

==

It is curious. Now, the IRS guy is claiming that the IRS foul-ups were just foolish mistakes.

==

Taken together, the Obama Administration are saying they are run by idoiots and fools?

“Many presidents have sacrificed American lives for the sake of foreign policy.”

Change “foreign policy’ to read “political expediency” and this sentence would be correct.

One man’s political expediency is another man’s foreign policy. Disgraceful as the Administration’s conduct was around the Benghazi attack, it won’t do in Obama or Hillary.

The real story will be in weapons smuggling, prearranged kidnapping, or perhaps murder for hire. And even if those proved true, it’s an uphill battle to make those impeachable offenses.

I.m sure the aviation industry will just be all ‘oh, those idiots’ as more planes get missiles fired at them.
