Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday that the long-awaited report from the House Select Committee on Benghazi “found nothing” new on the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, during her tenure as secretary of state.
And Stevens’ family agrees.
“I do not blame Hillary Clinton or [former Defense Secretary] Leon Panetta,” Anne Stevens, MD, Chris’ sister who has served as the family spokesperson since his death, told the New Yorker’s Robin Wright. “They were balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world. And their staffs were doing their best to provide what they could with the resources they had.
“The Benghazi mission was understaffed,” she continued. “But, again, Chris knew that. It wasn’t a secret to him. He decided to take the risk to go there. It is not something they did to him. It is something he took on himself.”

We have money.
Its backed by good feelings and best wishes, ie the same things you’ll find in the greeting card section of your favorite store,
But they keep printing it and its still floating around out there. And as long as fractional reserve lending and themprinting presses keep humming they can make it out of nothing.
Think cheery thoughts. It’s what backing our currency after all.
This is denial. How could they possibly live with accepting the reality that their brother is dead because a person they supported and trusted didn’t give a damn about his life?
Of course, Stevens got the position because he and his family were well positioned leftists. The security heroes and their families were normal patriotic Americans.
There is a big difference.

Fast and Furious was deliberate. It is interesting that der Hildebeast spent ALL of her time, during the Benghazi episode, spinning the “Innocence of Muslims” phony excuse, perpetuated by Ben Rhodes and David Plouffe. This was the Obama Regime’s big push to censure the internet and the hell with the lives at Benghazi, which was involved in illegal gun running. It was the illegal gun running that the DemonRATs tried to pin on President Ronald Reagan in that little episode called Irangate. Remember Irangate? In case anyone does not know, Senior Reagan administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo. It caused the formation of the Tower Commission to build a case for the impeachment of President Reagan.
“But not the point. Failure to protdct an ambassador from known upcoming attacks - ie basically the president considered by people working on embassy station, is an extreme, massive failure and everyone who is career govt knows it. And knows it was deliberate.”
The enemy knows it too. The families are part of this only as far as they are interested in the truth this is much bigger than tge families. Our State Department personnel were killed in country. On duty. This will never go away.
Cause nobody could have foreseen that sending a Homosexual to a Muslim country might cause any sort of problem.
Muslims *LOVE* homosexuals. Why they wouldn't have seen it as a blasphemous insult or anything!
Maybe she’s hoping to take over his ambassadorship. The only thing muzzies hate more than white American men are white American women. Hope she has a very large life insurance policy.
Supposedly Amb. Stevens had a FIANCE!! I have heard her on Mike Gallagher’s show, I think it was.
Omg, the movie and the book have been out for a year or so. Stevens was not raped before death. He was found lying inside the compound where no terrorists went - they set the place on fire - dead of smoke inhalation. Now, they could have done anything to his deceased body. But he was not raped.
Well then screw him, he got those guys killed. OK now I feel better about the lies the bitch told.
“It’s pretty clear it’s time to move on.”
Go Trump!
We cannot let the Butcher of Benghazi to become POTUS.
General question: I've read that Ambassador Stevens submitted "hundreds" of requests for additional security to the State Department. Anybody read any of these requests? I'd assume the requests were made by email.
He had had a fiancé once. The whole gay thing probably broke them up.
Sounds like a kopechne payoff
Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to DieNordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999.
The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. ”If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli?” Nordstrom wrote.
Hillary Clinton on State Dept. budget for FY 2012.
FY 2012 Budget Request March 10, 2011The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort the same way the Pentagon’s request is funded: in a separate Overseas Contingency Operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that fully reflects the integrated civilian-military efforts. Our share of the President’s $126 billion request for exceptional wartime costs is $8.7 billion. So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account.
(snip)
But let me just quickly walk you through this, because on this issue of our $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations, we have the strongest support from Secretary Gates, from Admiral Mullen. And next week – I was speaking with General Petraeus last night. He will be here on the Hill strongly supporting the civilian effort that goes hand-in-hand with what he is doing so heroically in Afghanistan. So we are funding vital civilian missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq with this $8.7 billion.
The whole gay thing was a rumor started by queer leftist political activist group in Chicago.
What former Chicago queer leftist activist would benefit from
smearing Amb. Stevens posthumously?
At the time, he was working under the Secretary of State. He was under orders from Hillary.
He was working with the secret CIA scheme
As long as everyone understands that it wasn't the CIA. It was the Department of State's Central Intelligence Unit (Agency).
... of buying old Libyan SA-7s and other weapons and shipping them from Benghazi to Al Qeida and ISIS through Turkey.
Hillary had HER CIA buying the weapons from the rebels (aka 'citizens') at a discount. Then she was supposed to sell them to the terrorist groups that Obama is supporting. She stiffed them and offered to sell them to a different group of rebels for more money. The first group was reasonably angry and took revenge.
He and the Benghazi office were ARMING Al Qeida.
In this case, they didn't, because Hillary skunked the deal. (although arrangements were made later to get those weapons to them). That is why Obama wouldn't let the Military go rescue the Ambassador and the Special Forces and the State Intelligence Agents. She was trying to rip everyone off for the cash and so Obama just ignored it and figured it would all be blamed on Hillary. He couldn't outright say so because it would show his involvement in supporting our enemies.
Unless he wasn’t gay in the first place. Maybe that was just a red herring to give an excuse why the muslim “terrorists” would torture him the way they did before killing him.
“Omg, the movie and the book have been out for a year or so. Stevens was not raped before death.”
Oh, well if it’s in an authoritative source like a book and a Hollywood movie. A Hollywood movie, snopes, and wiki. THAT’S where truth lives! lol
Gotta give you credit for still believing anything you read or view that comes out of the LSM. Personally, I find myself doubting even the most seemingly innocuous thing they produce.
I think you are kinda lost. The CIA isn’t under State. And the CIA has been enthusiastically supporting the Syrian jihadis and was instrumental in their equipping and arming.
Our entire government corrupted itself out over Libya and switching sides to Al Qeida. The refusal to give fire support and tell the truth is because it was a highly covert CIA/State joint op.
The CIA wasn’t some victim of State. They were all cooperating and were horny for war in Syria.
