By John Ransom January 17, 2014 So Benghazi finally claims another victim. The knife sticking out of former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons back was stuck there slowly by fellow pantsuiter, Sen. Diane Fienstein, (D-Kalf.) who chairs the Senate Intelligence committee for the gentlemans club also known as the United States Senate. That knife means that Hillary is probably dead. At least as a presidential candidate. Oh, yes, the New York Times wont give it up quite yet. But for Hillary, its o-v-e-r. The Senate report on Benghazi released by Feinsteins office is largely a compendium of what you, I and everyone outside of the Obama administration already knows: Benghazi was a terror attack, as acknowledged from the very beginning, and was largely preventable. The preventer should have been the Secretary of State. Obama and the White escape responsibility. Seriously. They should too. They can't even build a website. The intelligence process is waaaay past them. The IC produced hundreds of analytic reports in the months preceding the September 11-12, 2012, attacks, says the Senate report, providing strategic warning that militias and terrorist and affiliated groups had the capability and intent to strike U.S. and Western facilities and personnel in Libya. A Defense Intelligence Agency analysis specifically mentioned Benghazi, while other reports also emphasized the deteriorating situation in eastern or northeastern Libya of which Benghazi is the major hub. The report also found that the State Department should have increased security based on those reports. The State Department should have increased its security posture more significantly in Benghazi based on the deteriorating security situation on the ground and IC threat reporting on the prior attacks against Westerners in Benghazi including two incidents at the Temporary Mission Facility on April 6 and June 6, 2012. See? Its all the State Departments fault. And thats what difference it makes, Hillary.

She's lost before she started by her inept, incompetent actions as State Department Secretary on foreign policy, and lack of security for State Dept. personnel . Seems Kerry is also off to a similar start with his actions on Syria and Iraq. The criminal order for the stand down could only be ordered by the President of the United States of America.
Six months from now, the NY Slimes will try to float another "Exonerate Hillary" crock of crap, wait and see....
Doubt it. Scandals (if Benghazi is a scandal) don't have the same impact they used to have. Everybody has at least one. Not only that, her multitude of supporters aren't going to change their minds over something like this without a decent Republican opponent. And you're going to have to overcome all of the compliments coming from Republican senators back when Hillary was a senator. She has video of 'em all.
Those damned senate democrats hunting for a democrat witch to roast... instead of... elect... Things that make you go huh?
Why do you guys keep saying its over Hillary? Youre RW'rs, you dont like or want to know most Americans and American liberals can beat you in elections regularly..... So in what possible scenario can you simply say Hillary is out? After all, Obama handled Romney in the debate over this matter with little trouble.
If Palin was criminally negligent with resulting loss of life and a cover-up blame game via YouTube telling us all along that dead Americans "make no difference" ...we'd like to see her with a proverbial knife in her back too. See that's the difference (most) conservatives and (most) liberals: we don't tolerate that sort of thing just because the person is on our side.
the ONLY people who give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about Benghazi are right wing Hilary haters who weren't going to vote for her anyway. if Hilary runs, 90% that she is our next president. deal with it, get over it.
Why do you think you can lie to us like that? There was no criminal negligence, she did not say dead Americans make no difference, and conservatives tolerate alot of bad stuff.
Nice try at deflection, your logic is flawed by your false ideology. Even if it were true and it is not, The incompetence to abandon Stevens and the three was solely Obama's and had nothing to do with 9/11/01. It had all to do with Obama's re-election of November 2012.
Like the US Senate? How about the only people who DON'T care about Benghazi are democrat trolls who don't care about anything this administration does to hurt America? - - - Updated - - - No... the AQ affiliates she hired.
Romney, quite insanely, never went after Obama on foreign policy or Benghazi. Had he, Obama would have been destroyed. Although I don't want Christie as the GOP nominee, if he does ultimately wear that mantle, he will absolutely destroy Hillary. He can do it with one line: "How can we elect a person to protect us from all threats, foreign and domestic, when she could not even protect the lives of one of her ambassadors, nor 3 others?"
Then I guess we can point to her fellow Progressive travelers, like Senator Diane Feinstein for debunking the NY Slimes Op-Ed attempting to white-wash the incident. Wasn't this the result of a Bi-Partisan effort?
Many Americans would be happy with another Bush in the White House. Yes. You should shiver. I want neither, by the way.
How is this report fundamentally any different than the Accountability Review report released over a year ago, which similarly found that the attack could have been prevented and there were warnings etc.? http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/202446.pdf This was interesting: The Committee explored claims that there was a "stand down" order given to the security team at the Annex. Although some members of the security team expressed frustration that they were unable to respond more quickly to the Mission compound, 12 the Committee found no evidence of intentional delay or obstruction by the Chief of Base or any other party. http://www.intelligence.senate.gov/benghazi2014/benghazi.pdf What it puts a knife into is the Fox/RW propaganda bull(*)(*)(*)(*) "stand down" claim that Sean and Rush and their acolytes here claimed over and over and over again.
