Benghazi Index

Scandal: The decision to place U.S. personnel in Benghazi with substandard security was made at the highest levels of the State Department by officials who have so far escaped blame over the Sept. 11 attack.
BENGHAZI CREEPS CLOSER TO HILLARY CLINTON
An indication that the Orwellian-named Accountability Review Board (ARB) investigating the terrorist attack on our diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, was an effort not to assign responsibility for the disaster but to enable those responsible to escape blame is the fact that ARB never bothered to interview the likes of Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy.
ARB co-chair Thomas Pickering told CBS' Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation" in May that he and his colleagues had ample opportunity to question Secretary of State Hillary Clinton herself but concluded that conducting an interview with her was not necessary. "We knew where the responsibility rested," he said.
In defending the ARB's findings on Benghazi, Pickering, who co-authored its report with former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mike Mullen, had no use for whistle-blowers like Gregory Hicks, the No. 2 official in Libya at the time of the strike that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Hicks had told the House Government Oversight Committee he believed the ARB report "let people off the hook."
"They've tried to point a finger at people more senior than where we found the decisions were made," Pickering said, citing specifically Clinton and Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy.
His mind was made up, and he didn't want to be confused with the facts such as the testimony of Mark Thompson, deputy coordinator for operations in the State Department's counterterrorism bureau. Thompson told the House committee that Secretary Clinton attempted to cut the bureau off from communications about the attack.

Rest of the sentence: "and we didn't want to go there for fear of incurring the wrath of the Hildebeast or her (our) boss, the Zero. We got our marching orders and did as we were told, like good little commie Dems."
Madame Benghazi cannot escape the judgment of history forever. If anything has her thumbprints all over, this is the episode that should show just about her every move.
Perhaps Madame Benghazi really DID suffer a concussion, and “could not” remember, but that was right convenient, now wasn’t it?

Hillary’s Perfect Campaign Slogan
A joke that writes itself.

If they had a video of Ambassador Stevens dying, screaming out, “Why, Hillary, why? You killed me!” it wouldn’t get close to Hillary.
I remember Hillary’s presidential campaign ad about the phone ringing at 3:00 a.m. and raising the question of who do you want to answer the call. In light of Benghazi, the possibilities are endless for good ads against Hillary in the next campaign.
The scene, Hillary’s bedroom. The bed is viewed from the side allowing a digital clock face to show on the nightstand next to the phone. It is 3 AM. The phone starts ringing. After the first two rings, the woman on the bed whose back we see, pulls the covers up over her dyed blonde hair, and the phone keeps ringing. Huma’s voice is hear at the bedroom door, calling “Hillary, Hillary, should we answer that?” The woman with her head still covered reaches over and slams the phone to the floor, then turns back over as a cognac bottle falls from the covers onto the floor.

She will see WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MAKES in 2016.

Perhaps, you are correct. Yet, the Secretary of State and the State Dep’t, order SOCOM around like starving step-children. Apparently, you didn’t know that fact of operational control.

Please share this one as widely as possible.
This creature must NEVER infest the White House.
Meanwhile Congress remains mute on this matter.
