SENATE hearing: Pathetic pandering from those posing the questions and from Clinton in her answers. Her conclusion seemed to be that more money would have solved everything. Disgusting. The State Department just had no money in its 50 billion dollar budget to pay for Benghazi security. My answer to that is, if you don't have the money and you won't protect Americans, DON'T SEND THEM to dangerous countries.
No answers on why help was not sent when requested by those who marked the target, and eventually died while waiting for military assistance. There were a few questions directed at why the Mohammed YouTube video was blamed and why assistance was not provided. Rand Paul (see video below) said: “I Would Have Relieved You Of Your Post”…
Daniel Greenfield notes:
State Department Had No $$$ for Benghazi Security, Did Have $16 Mil for Kindles and $4.5 for Art
According to Hillary Clinton’s long-delayed Benghazigate testimony, the
State Department just did not have enough money to provide security for a
mission in one of the most dangerous places in the world.
It did however have 16 million dollars to spend on 2,500 kindle book readers at the drastically inflated price of $6,600 per device. How much security could that 16 million buy?
And here is what else Hillary’s State Department did have money for…
7.9 billion dollars for Obama’s Global Health Initiative.
469 million for global climate change.
2.2 billion to strengthen democratic institutions in Pakistan.
And of course… Mosque renovations. [snip]
And $4.5 million for Art in Embassies [snip]
The State Department also has a Chief Diversity Officer, whose job it is to warn that “holding the fort” is a racist phrase.
As far as security goes, 200 million dollars were wasted on Iraqi police training that never went anywhere.
And nothing says State Department waste, like waste management.

Hillary loses her cool, pounds desk.
At times pounding her fist on the table in front of her, Clinton
insisted that regardless of whether the attack was carried out by a
“protest, or guys out for a walk one night who decided they would go
kill some Americans,” it is their job to to now prevent anything like it
from happening again.

I was reading some of
Michelle Malkin's commentary on that fiasco on Facebook; I was tempted to ask her if she was watching Comedy Central.

I did not expect much from the Senate. Things might get better when she moves over to the House...

I hope this will be the last we see of this woman. Fed up with her lies.
Can't we get rid of them all, starting with Obama?

I expected lies, and got them. Along with crocodile tears. She is a damn liar!

The lying, conniving , worthless #$%^&*@! !
How does the evil bitch get away with it , time after time ????
No wonder there's so much cynicism about the corrupt system we got.
Between turds like her and the economic situation that Obastard has given us, we are fast becoming a Banana Republic.

It was quite strategic of Hillary to wait until after the publication of the report to say anything, to insure what she said matched up almost word for word...
She will do anything to not be connected with this incident to make sure she is clear for a run in 2016....
These people are so appalling..

I expected dishonesty from Hildebeest and softballs from the spineless dolts in the Senate; I got what I expected and thensome.
No credibility has this broad, nor anyone in her party.
