Clinton denies ´delay´ in Benghazi
response, despite accounts

Fox News, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/23/2013 10:04:02 AM

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday defended the administration´s response the night of the September 2012 terror attack in Libya, testifying before Congress that there were "no delays in decision-making" despite accounts to the contrary. The secretary, after missing prior hearings due to illness, testified on the attack for the first time Wednesday morning before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. She said she has "no higher priority" than the security of her department´s staff, and that she is committed to making the department "safer, stronger and more secure." "As I have said many times,

Comments:
This is nothing but a circus. Boxer just pitched Clinton the most beautiful softball ever when she brought up the alleged lack of funding for security in Benghazi. Democrats are exquisite in their ability to twist facts to make themselves appear blameless. Izza previously testified that the regime was sitting on $2 billion earmarked for diplomatic security. This is just outrageous.

Huma is going to be jealous; That Tongue bath that Babs Boxer just gave Hellary during her turn to "question" her was pretty darn passionate.

Safety is her "highest priority" - - but after four years on the job - - she still hasn´t gotten around to it.

Big sloppy kisses.

Piaps takes responsibility in general but not for any specific action or inaction.

I wonder if she lets her personal staff get away with cheap excuses like that.

This is amazing! Hillary was not involved in security matters - the Secretary of State, she said, is not involved in the decision making. She didn´t say who was responsible, and there was no follow up question.
She also didn´t know nuffin about that special national guard security unit that offered to stay in benghazi at no cost to the State Department, but someone at State (Charlene Lamb, I believe) turned down the offer.
It has quickly become clear to me that no one was in charge at State. No one.
But HIllary is being praised by both sides for her wonderful service.
Finally, Hillary said she had nuffin to do with the selection of Susan Rice to make the rounds of the news programs, and had no input with the content of Rice´s remarks.
Amazing.
Most of these senators are lawyers, and they don´t know how to cross-examine.

It´s all Congress´s fault because they will not give State the money for diplomatic security.

"It´s all Congress´s fault because they will not give State the money for diplomatic security."

I sincerely hope this comment is an attempt at sarcasm, but cause it is pure BS.

The military offered to send in security and State turned them down, not once but twice. It was more convenient for "State" if the group in Bhengazi ended up dead, then there would be nobody to refute "States" claim that the whole thing was precipitated by some obscure anti-Islamic video that almost nobody watched. This whole episode shows the Administration as the despicable political cowards that they are. Sacrificing American lives for political gain, just disgusting!!! Obama and Clinton have blood on their hands. Words cannot do justice for the contempt I have for these two anti-American traitors.

That was the conclusion that Boxer and Clinton came up with during her ´questioning" time.

This Benghazi Disturbance appears to be over for now - until it happens again. At that time, everyone on Capitol Hill will be running around bumping into each other asking that immortal question - `What can we do to be sure this never happens again?`

Meanwhile, Hillary will probably make a `standing room only` appearance on The View by the end of the month whereby she will be welcomed with a standing ovation that will last half the show....

second post apologies, but, #8, a special security unit from I believe the Utah National Guard was in Benghazi, and offered to stay there, at no cost to the State Department.
And someone at State said ´no thanks.´ The colonel in charge of that security unit testfied before that House committee, back in October, and his comments, as above, were confirmed by assistant secretary kennedy as well as by charlene lamb.
Turning away such a free offer tells me, implicitly, that the president´s policy position on such matters was to show the filthy islamofascist terrorist pigs in libyan government that we would not resist them.

Come on its the Reid Senate, nothing truthfull will come out of it. In fact any thing that comes out will be the opposite to the truth. So this means Hillary admits there were delays.

No surprise that many of the ´Names´ seem to use this site for their agenda of on air commentary. L Dotters are quick witted and sharp as tacks. We know what we know and unafraid to say it. How much longer will Dear Reader allow WTP to tell truths over the waves? Still awaiting to hear regarding those 30 plus individuals hidden from sight.

She needs to be grilled on the POLICY of letting the locals be security at our embassies. The very idea is so idiotic and hippie-fied, yet it is scarcely mentioned.

I believe her when she says "There were no delays in decision-making". I´m sure they decided very quickly to sweep this under the rug, lie about the video being the cause, and to blame the ´lack of funding´. They decided quickly that this was never going to stick to them. It will probably work, I´m sad to say.

The senate didn´t put her under oath, would be my guess. If the house doesn´t do it when it´s their turn, it´s probably second amendment time...

Obama nominates Nuland for
assistant secretary of state

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

America´s 100 million cable and satellite subscribers are forced to pay ever-higher bills for a growing number of channels they do not watch. The American people are being ripped off. Meanwhile, services such as iTunes and Netflix have led a revolution in how consumers purchase and experience music and video entertainment. They have upended entire industries to allow consumers to buy digital content where they want, when they want. Amid all this change, two entrenched interests — the cable television and video programming industries — have teamed up to use federal regulations to stack the deck against consumers.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

   

 



 
Obama Orders DOJ Review
of Leak Investigations

President Obama is a little uneasy with the way journalists have been dragged into the Justice Department’s aggressive pursuit of national security leak investigations. In fact, he has ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to conduct a 45-day review of the department’s guidelines on the issue. That bit of news was buried in the middle of the president’s hourlong speech today at National Defense University. “Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs,” President Obama said. “Our focus must be on those who break the law.” And then the news: “I have raised these issues with

Anthony Weiner’s nascent mayoral campaign is off to a rough start. Weiner made his candidacy for mayor of New York official in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, and since then there’s no indication that the process is going particularly well. The former rising star in the Democratic Party can’t shake the scandal that forced him to resign from Congress, and he may be throwing fuel on the fire. Asked this morning whether there was another shoe to drop in the sextweeting scandal that ousted him, Weiner admitted, Well, yeah.

White House press secretary Jay Carney could only explain his problems on Wednesday by telling reporters, "[T]here are a lot of you, and you´re good at your jobs and you´re smart." As easy as it might be for Carney to lob such insincere praise at former journalistic colleagues, such posterior osculations must be embarrassing for a White House so accustomed to having the press in its back pocket. Carney´s job has become more difficult in the past two weeks. Where his explanations were accepted at face value in the past, he is now met with deep skepticism. Suddenly, the

WASHINGTON – First she refused to testify. Now Lois Lerner, the IRS official at the center of the agency scandal, is refusing to resign, according to a top Republican senator. Sources confirmed to Fox News earlier Thursday that Lerner, the head of the IRS division that oversaw the unit targeting conservative groups, had been placed on administrative leave, with pay. But Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, claimed she was only put in that status after refusing to step down. He said the commissioner was in his right to demand her resignation, and said taxpayers

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
