(Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday she was forming a panel to investigate the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other U.S. officials.

The panel, whose creation is generally required by law when someone is killed or seriously injured at a U.S. mission abroad, will be chaired by Thomas Pickering, a retired diplomat who served as U.S. ambassador to Russia, India, Israel, Nigeria, El Salvador, Jordan and at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.

This is like a meeting to determine if we are having enough meetings.

I think Obama said today Benghazi happened because of Fast & Furious which started under Bush's watch and Holder would be looking into it.

Or something like that.

So where do YOU think blame lies?

We know: State Department and WH were warned 72 hours before attack.

It's better than that...

Egypt intelligence warns (on Sept 4th) of attacks on Israel, US embassies

Congress was warned about Libya last month

"It was planned, definitely. It was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago. And they were planning this criminal act since their arrival," Magariaf said.

Does ANYONE in Washington do their job any more??

What's a job?.....never heard of such a thing.

They just promised there would be parties, and a cook, and they said I'd get a car and a driver too. They told me I'd get to travel on my own jet to exotic places.....its the best vacation I've ever had.... < sarc >

“Form a Panel” in political terms translates to “Bury the issue”.

It's been mentioned on and off since the world began to burn over there....

I couldn't give a rats @ss what either side does to the other...Pull up a chair and lets watch the fight. It's only going to harm the Democrats in the end.

It's all good for the republicans..... it makes it harder for a Hillary run in 2016 and I believe Obozo is going to loose this election.

Well, I, for one, am glad to see this. A panel of like-minded, leftist idiots will restore the ambassador to life, restore the embassy and find out which 4 year-old blond girl or wheelchair-bound granny was responsible for the attack.

After all, we KNOW that it wasn't muslim extremists because Islam is the Religion of Piece - a Piece of the west here, a Piece of the west there, a piece of you here, a piece of me there, a piece . . . . . . . .

The same idiot(s) who loaded the Pueblo with too much classified material then refused to come to their aid when the Norks began attacking.

IOW, the idiot(s) are Washington bureaucrats!
