Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s voice broke as she recalled comforting the families of those killed in the Benghazi attacks in her long-awaited testimony before a Senate panel about the September terror assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya.
“I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried those flag-draped caskets off the plane at Andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers, the sons and daughters, and the wives left alone to raise their children,” Clinton said, her voice cracking, in her opening statement before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday.
Clinton’s appearance came after her scheduled testimony in December was postponed due to a health scare when she fell and hit her head, sustaining a concussion.

How insensitive.
We need to know why the government failed them and who peddled the lie.

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:58amWow. What total BS. I understand we had assets close enough to stop this rampage or at least scare them off. What a hollow response. Blah, blah, blah, I am responsible but nothing will happen to me, blah, blah, insert crocodile tears here, blah, blah. See ya.
Pathetic. Who gave the order to stand down and do nothing?

Jan. 23, 2013 at 11:08amGood observation. There was no bump on the head and no blood clot. She is already posturing for a 2016 run, and the democrat voters will love this lying witch.

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:57amThere is a place in New York called Broadway and there are many similar places like it in all villages, towns, cities and countries on this planet.
They all have one thing in common, they all ahve theaters on them
For each play (all of them fictional) there have to be weeks and weeks if not months of practice to make the play look “perfect”.
After watching Mrs Clinton’s performance including the phony ” thank you for your commitments etc.” she and the bit players (congress and this BS panel) I would say they could not even get this one right.
If it would have been Broadway they would have been laughed of the stage , they made me puke, ALL of them

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:57amCoached in using upper body language. Specifically the hands. Spread palms. Grasping motions. Clenched fists. Drawing to herself. All “Mastroianni” simple but effective on the liberal mind. And whether the libs believe her or not they will defend their sickening heros as they themselves are led off in chains, food for the beast.

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:56amHillary is not going to answer any questions! She knocked off Vince Foster ! She is tap dancing all over the place. She should be tried for murder and Treason. The state department has not made any effort to locate any of the perpetrators.

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:51amObama and his administration officials really learned a lot from their Hollywood supporters.
When pressured, show emotions and choke up. Although manufactured, it will never fail in evading hard to explain facts.
If any of the Repubs gets too aggressive in the questioning, use the gender card.

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:44amShe & President Obama stood in front of those coffins and lied, blaming the tragedy on a VIDEO. No one has yet to bring up the question yet at the interogation, What was Ambassador Stephens & his staff doing in Benghazi on 9/11??????
Regarding Hillary’s glasses. They look special. Are they the new Google glasses or is she wearing the Darpa contact lenses (hidden by wearing the glasses?)

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:42amWhy the glasses ?
I noticed about two weeks ago that Hillary started to wear glasses, which no one had commented on,
So seeing her wearing glasses this morning was not a surprise
I now think the glasses she is wearing in the hearings maybe a live feed to give her the answers to the questions
I put nothing past her

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:41amHow many months of preparation to media sell her – sniff, sniff, tear, tear, ” It was my responsibility” pointless comments about Libya.
This was a contrived Clinton Hollywood movie set created to give her an escape and die down the commentary about how messed up Libya was on her watch. She needed and got a “free pass card” from Obama’s Camp to give her a chance for the “next” federal election. This is all Staged, and planned as a return favour for Clinton to run in 2016. Nothing more. Contrived BS.

One more example of hypocrisy from right wingers.

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:37amSpare us from any more liberal diatribe. This is the most scandalous administration ever. Obama will get away with all of it. Everyone will walk. From every scandal. It was imperative he win a second term to hide all the evidence and bury any chance of being discovered. EVERYONE is in this traders pocket – CIA, FBI, military, DOJ, DEA, EPA, FCC, you name it. He will slide. The moronic republicans along with the blubbering Boehner who just wants to be liked ruined the country for ages. We will have to wait for our own Perestroika.

Jan. 23, 2013 at 10:32amIf the RNC had any brains in its collective head, it would have already hired an investigative team to fact check every word said about Benghazi by anyone who has testified under oath, spoken to the media live, sat for a print interview, whatever, starting with Hillary. And they will continue to do so until they get to the actual truth of the matter. And then they will start running tv ads, radio ads, online ads, newspaper ads and they will put their talking heads out there every day, all day and saturate the American people with the truth of this matter.
In the course of doing that, they need to identify, locate and interview the survivors of that attack – there are State Dept. survivors whom the State Dept. continues to refuse to identify and who, according to some reports, are still hospitalized somewhere. They need to be found and put under oath to testify as to EVERYTHING that happened and the timeline upon which it happened.
However, the RNC doesn’t have the guts or the brains to do this so the whole issue will slide by the same way everything else does that has the Clinton’s fingerprints all over it. And as a result, Hillary will be our next president in 2016. So, we have that to look forward to … if there is still a country left by then.
