The fatal attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya last month has become a test of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s leadership and a threat to her much-admired legacy as America’s top diplomat just a few months before she plans to step down.
Clinton was among the first Obama administration officials to publicly condemn the attack and mourn the deaths of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. But as the State Department has weathered Republican-led criticism that it misread warning signs before the Sept. 11 attack, Clinton has been far less visible.
Clinton will not appear at a Wednesday oversight hearing on the Libya attack, where House Republicans have said they will question the State Department’s security preparations and the administration’s account of the attack. The State Department will instead send a trusted career diplomat along with three security officials. …

Obamugabe is trapped. The story is moving outside of Bam’s control. He would love to have a scapegoat to get the heat off of him.
However, Bam cannot throw Hillary! under the bus until after the election. He needs her supporters to turn out and vote for him.
WELCOME BACK !
This Issa is a Pussy Fraud,Where the Hell is The Bitch Hillary? Why does she Not have to Testify,Who the Hell is in Charge? Another Coverup of a Coverup,What a Load of crap
“Concluded” is the operative word in this article. The State has never “concluded” as in they are still waiting on the FBI crime scene investigation. All the State Department Spokes-persons who have who have addressed the media or for that matter the SecState Clinton and/or President Obama have never “concluded” anything. We are dealing with second rate children educated at lawyers....
Great comment...right on target.
Everything Hillary has touched turned to sh!t.
Even the husband she chose: impeached, disbarred, felon.
Anne dear......
Could the incident in Libya be more harmful to Hillary Clinton’s reputation than her murder of confident and White House Counsel/bagman Vince Foster?
What about this a-hole...
General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, called Pastor Terry Jones by phone on Wednesday and "asked him to withdraw his support for a film whose portrayal of the Prophet Mohammad has sparked violent protests."
On the day that the bodies of the Ambassador and the three others returned to US soil, Obama and Hillary had that nausea inducing welcome home for them.
Both Obama and Hillary made short speeches and both were still blaming the movie trailer.
So Hillary was lying even then, I presume.
It was "breaking" to the ABC suits. They are ignorant of anything but the morning DNC/Obama talking points fax.
“There is a battle going on between the State Dept and National Security Agency.”
Someone planted that journal for CNN to find. My bet is a 3 letter agency.
The question that is still unresolved for me is are they trying to take out Obama, too, or just Hillary.
None of this helps Obama.
My first thought, exactly!

Thank you.
"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.”
It is significant that Obama was at Hillary's side when she made this statement and that he made Hillary go first. A former member of the military, on another site, said that Obama could have had military jets on site, from the airbase in Italy, within 20 minutes. The airbase is 450 miles from Benghazi.
LOL I never went anywhere. That suspension was months ago.
