    This phony scandal is cratering even faster than Fast & Furious did. And look how much that upsets the cultists. Don't worry, cultists. FOX and Drudge will soon find you a new "scandal" to fixate on. And impeachment will be just around the corner, just you wait!

    Meanwhile, back on planet earth, President Obama has run the most scandal-free administration since ... at least Jimmy Carter. Maybe even further back, given that Carter had Bert Lance, Andrew Young and BillyGate.

    No, the Admin did not know the truth immediately. They suspected that Ansar Al Sharia in Libya was involved but that was false. Do you think that a few days after that we knew it was a panned attack? It could have been a 9/11 demonstration with terrorists used as an opportunity to attack the outpost.

    but he had a meeting with a Turkish diplomat, as we are gun-running from Benghazi to Turkey to Syria. And according to Hick's testimony, Hillary herself wanted him to establish a permanent consulate in Benghazi.

    Thanks for the clarification but I still think 9/11 was a stupid day to do it. Everybody in Libya knew that Benghazi was lacking in security (that is from the many emails asking for more security}. All I know is that those diplomatic affairs could have been done on other days.

    Well, bronco, that question has been answered. Of course, you don't remember anything you do not like.

    The key word here being "prioritize", which is to say you reduce numbers in places that don't really need them so you can have more people in the places like Benghazi. Why does the left have such a hard time understanding the nuance of prioritizing our spending?

    Oh, by the way, the eyewitnesses already testified that the lack of security in Benghazi was NOT due to funding issues. The decision to have less security was part of a strategy to minimize the "footprint" in Libya. That came from the State Department. Again, this is all part of the public record now.

    Sounds like a conspiracy to mislead Congress and the American people.

    Just need to get some of those people under oath and find out what is true. If the intelligence agency agreed to remove it then it is not an unbiased organization and impeachment and firing of relevant offenders must follow.

    Because you did not read the link. It talks about the use of signatures in grouped emails. Condoleezza Rice's and Clinton's signatures have gone on many documents that they have not read.

    Yes you hate Obama so much that you do not read other posters' answers.

    We are thinking now that there are at least a couple of presidential hopefuls pushing Hillary toward the speeding bus. Joe Biteme and John Kerry. Kerry/ms Heinz has his hands of the documents that Hillary is trying to shred and who could blame his treasonous ass for telling the truth? He would lose the hard core liberal/progressive horde but he would gain a lot of moderates who don't know that he should be in jail for treason.

    I think that unless the Congress takes this up a notch or two Hillary will be covered by executive privilege. Aslo, Hillary is a very well schooled liar. My guess is that nobody in America today has had more coaching in lying during testimony. Seriously. Travel office, Rose records, Whitewater, this....she a pro's pro in prevarication.

    if you'd read all my posts, you'd see that i have disputed much of the hooey coming from the farce your side is currently staging

    and i look forward to seeing more comedy in the future, i wonder what it'll be next year?

    whatever it is, i'm sure it won't measure up the the classics, for example: ken starr and the horse he rode in on

    or even just november 7th, 2012; it was so much fun listening to dick morris prattle on about how there was going to be a romney landslide

    didn't you or one of your buddies, lose a bet and have to make an apologetic retraction?

    i skipped the 'fast and furious' show, how did that turn out anyway?

    That is why we need an investigation as to who was involved, what they did, when they did it, where they did it, why they did it, and how they did it. And we may need laws that forbid signatures being on documents, as if they should know it, and they have no knowledge of it.

    If the CIA agrees to changes because of a political reason such as the factual information "could be abused by members [of Congress] to beat up the State Department for not paying attention to warnings,” to effect elections then the CIA is taking domestic political sides and there must be a complete review of their very existence. Political manipulation of factual information by the CIA, or anyone sworn to protect and defend our Constitution, for control of domestic electoral outcomes must be a CRIME.

    Political manipulation of factual data by our Government for political gain of a Great Leader or One Party State is unacceptable now as it would have been for Cheney...

    Originally back in October the Dems and those like CNN downplayed the
    origins of added security accusing the Republicans of voting it down in
    Congress.However More democrats voted no than Republicans on that.
    But this Lapdog media didn't want to explain that part of it.
    Hillary acted both like she had no knowledge of any need for added security and
    also that if the need did arise her subordinates would in all probability
    handle any request.Talk about passing the buck.
    Typical Democrat shifting of all responsibility and blame.
    It's a now famaliar tactic they use.
    Democrats screw-up and then try to pin the tail on the Republicans.

    PLease provide some of Condi Rice's "unread but signed" documents, that involve life and death issues like EMBASSY SECURITY, and not "dinner party plans",and then explain how that changes the Sec. of State LYING under OATH about her department NOT receiving any requests for increased security from the Libyan diplomatic mission.

    You MADEUP nonsense does not cover for the LIES of this administration, despite your continued delusions otherwise.

    It's difficult. The machinations, rationalization and back-tracking required for the press to get into this today is hard to imagine. Just think back to John Edwards. The wouldn't do it. Not until the Enquirer has pictures did they consider coverage.

    It's anything but the FACTS, all the time.

    They are just trying to IGNORE what this latest email exposure has revealed, in the hopes we can get back to blaming Bush...

    Gee, I dunno...

    - $1 billion in tax credits for energy efficient home improvements were paid to people who didn't own homes.
    - $120 million in retirement and disability benefits were paid to federal employees who were already dead.
    - $30 million to help Pakistani Mango farmers.
    - $10 million for Pakistani Sesame Street.
    - $550,000 for "Rockin' the Kremlin: A documentary on how rock and roll contributed to the end of the cold war.
    - $702,558 to bring television to Vietnamese villages.
    - etc...

    Don't embarrass yourself anymore, read the link.
    Every cable from an embassy goes out with the signature of the Ambassador, every cable from Washington goes out with the signature of the Secretary of State.

    It doesn't mean the Secretary of State reads and approves every email that leaves the State Department in Washington.
    If Secretary Clinton said she was not aware of a request for additional security, it probably means she was unaware of a request for additional security.
    The fact that an email has the signature of Secretary Clinton doesn't mean she wrote it or even read it, it means it came from Washington.

    Hicks cleared this up. The Libyan President was POed at the BS Rice spewed ON THE SAME SUNDAY SHOW AS HIM. The Libyans pooped on the FBI for it.

    THAT'S what difference it makes.

    I read the link. The only thing embarassing is your desperate attempt to PRETEND that the incredibly COMPETENT Condi Rice would "form mail" a cable regarding EMBASSY SECURITY in the MOST DANGEROUS REGION IN THE WORLD, as Hillary Clinton did, or LIED ABOUT .

    The OP-ED you posted chanhes that ...HOW? Let's SEE the REST of the EMAILS, which for some reason, the Obama Adm. is trying to keep secret.
    Even your OOP-ED stated that issues of importance were ALWAYS seen by the Secretary.

    EMBASSY SECURITY in 2012 LIBAY, most definitely QUALIFIES, to any sentient being.

    More DESPERATE NONSENSE in the face of KNOWN FACTS.

    Stop embarassing yourself, and provide PROOF that Condi Rice EVER so callously "passed off" an issue of that significance.

    You have NO PROOF that Rice ever did, or that Clinton did not see that request.

    Was Clinton the Sec. of State...or NOT?

    Try to hide some more...it's amusing.
