      Interesting, I was watching Steve Colbert acting like she laid the smack down on the Republicans. I rather think she got her backside handed to her. However she remained in a lecturing mood the entire time. The five rules of dodge ball: dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge.

         omg! I am laughing so hard! I couldn't believe how well she practiced getting *choked up* and I was waiting for her to follow the lead of her boss and wipe a tear from her eye! so phoney! What strikes me is the questions that were asked of her!  They seem to care more about why Ms. Rice was on the talk shows than what information did she know and when did she know it? How could she not see the cables? What is up with her staff?

      Benghazi is a horrible tragedy. It should rest on the shoulders of Clinton. I think that she took that as best a politician could. I also think that she should not have addressed particulars in that setting. We are talking security, for sure.
      Just because I am on the other side of the political spectrum does not mean I just attack and hate all persons liberal.

   I would not have wanted to be sitting in that chair she was sitting in.  She did a far better job than I would have in speaking for all that time and really saying nothing.  I guess that is a learned skill necessary to survive in politics.
   Her biggest mistake was the one time she lost her cool and said the 4 dead Americans really didn't matter.  Most of the questions coming her way were softballs, mixed with a few fastballs.
   But be prepared, we will be seeing much more of Hillary who now has her eye on the crown on Obama's head.  The media is already falling in love with her, just as they fell in love with Obama.
   They now plan on shaping history by having the first woman president follow the first black president for this once great Nation.  Chris Matthews will again feel than tingle up his spine when she stands before us and gives the inaugural address.
   I honestly don't see anyone waiting in the wings who could beat her in an election if she decides to run.  The entire Bill Clinton fan club will be on her side, along with the media, and that is a winning combination.

   Of course , everyone knew she would not take resposibility for the dead Americans just like "fast and furious", this govt will stall and stall until it is swept under the rug. After all hillary learned from the best Mr( "it depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.) Clinton. I wonder if she (Monica) ever cleaned that stain off of her dress ?  Well she did what the obama administration  always does when facing a scandal .... make an excuse ... she fell and bumped her head " The Imacculate Cuncussion" which gave them enough time to come up with all thhe excuses they wanted .. what really got me was how she became indignant " How dare you  think  I was responsible for these deaths, just because I said I was responsible ,doesn't mean I was responsible"  If the republicans had any wuevo's they would have asked tougher questions , but to have 5 minutes to question this fiasco means that they don't want to know either. (although the democratic senate  controlled the proceeding). So more Americans killed .. nothing happens .. terrorism goes on .. more Americans killed ... Obama wants to talk with terrorists with policy of appeasement... Egyptian president calls Americans Dogs and we send him Bilions of Dollars and jet fighters...
   Something is wrong here .... Very wrong,.......

   Hillary was right...four Americans are dead, including an Ambassador, and it does not matter to the ruling political class in Washington.

         They blew it. All congressional hearings are invitations for preening, showboating, and not-a-question-but-a-comment speeches. The grilling of Hillary Clinton was worse: a repetitive series of losing rematches, of Republicans asking questions that had been asked and answered and asked and answered. They coaxed one new piece of information from her, but they didn’t seem to notice, as their press offices once again tried to shame her for ever suggesting that the Benghazi attack grew out of protests against an anti-Islam video.

            What questions or answers were is not what I thought you meant. My mistake. I did see where someone on these threads said that this entire Benghazi incident was the republicans fault.
            
            I expected the answers to be what they were except the "At this point what does it matter why they were killed" answer. That just shows the level of ineptitude of this entire administration.

               Thought you may want to take a peak at the number of American deaths on the GOP's watch before you sling any more mud on this Administaration, that has drawn down the illegal war since he entered office. I care deeply about these 4 lives, as well as the 1000's lost in the illegal war..If the Republicans had any real questions, they did not ask them, did they? No, they used their time to show boat for their base and repeat the same things over an over ad nausem like a broken record of a FOX news report. Hillary took blame, as she should, this was on her watch and her responsibility...What do you think happened there? Do you think we were maybe giving them weapons like Reagan did to Iran in order to free hostages...Do you think we had illegal detainments as W's Guatanamo? Or do you just want to believe Obama ordered Americans killed? What are your thoughts?

                     An you source this? Also I believe that Bush predominantly targeted Al Qaeda, whereas obama is using drone attacks on various targets. I think the reason for the drone attacks were justified by 9/11 and Al Qaeda was perceived as an imminent threat. Now it seems instead of Congress declaring war on a country they can just drone attack whoever they want.

The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission convened a five-panel tribunal, and after a week-long trial delivered the unanimous guilty verdicts with full transcripts of witness statements, charges, and other materials being sent to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, the United Nations and the Security Council.

                  Well let's see here. What about President Bush, Dick Chenny Ms Condy Rice and Rumsfeld charged for war crimes? We killed Osama for his attacks on us. We say we are trying to help other countries with peace?
                  We can't even get along ourselves with each other in our own country!
                  Look what happened from one man's attempt to seek answers or retribution. There are classified things that when you really observe what is not being said. You would have grey hair!

    I don't belong to any one political party affiliation. thank you very much. This is how I choose
    to let my voice be heard. This after all is the GOP new way. Mr. Jindal from New Orleans called the
    GOP the part of stupid. And the Dems are still the assests they always been.
