Clinton testifying re Benghazi

[ms maggie]

Do we know why Brown was at the consulate that day, given the level of dangervwas known?

Soulflower's link came from the opinon section of the Post, so that tells part of the story right there.

Remember that pro-Obama media puff piece when they showed the cam video in the situation room, when Seal Team 6 was coming down on Osama Bin Laden? Oh, how heroic our president looked! If the live Situation Room cam was streaming video at the time of the Benghazi attack, I have little doubt that we would have found the room to have been entirely empty.

So now the capture of Osama Bin Laden is a "pro-Obama media puff piece", which was a very intensive 'planned' capture of the most wanted murderer of the countries history, and Benghazi was an sudden attack and you are demanding for video from the Situation Room and comparing the two situations?

This is the Darwin Award winning comment of the week! Congratulations, Soulflower!

Wasn't the cause of death for Ambassador Stevens smoke inhalation?

The meeting with the Turkish ambassador was a scheduled meeting at the "Special Mission" and no doubt a very sensitive one. No one knows exactly what was discussed but I'm sure in involved the CIA. I also believe a drone was flying over the area to observed the meeting. Which is why it very likely was there to catch the entire sudden attack.

And dying from a fire intentionally set by the terrorists is different than being killed by shrapnel from an exploding bomb?

Isn't it easier to keep to facts than to speculate?

It's easier to have a constructive meaningful discussion with someone who has the facts.

"As it turned out, only three February 17 Martyrs Brigade members were at the consulate, along with five U.S. security officers. Outmatched, they proved unable to stop scores of militants storming through a gate, firing grenades and using diesel fuel to set fire to the compound.

Mr. Stevens sought safety in the living quarters, which became engulfed in flames."

Can you connect the dots? Intentionally set fire with diesel fuel which is known for it's smoky effects due to it's oil base?

You as usual are missing the point. Where did I question how the fire started?

According to the CIA, there was no drone surveillance in the air over Benghazi until an hour or so after the attacks started

Where was this level of congressional scrutiny when 7 embassies were attacked during the Bush years?

Bush never lost an ambassador.

World Net Daily?

But it's ok that we lost dozens of other State Department employees during his term?

[Grindelwald]

Bush never lost an ambassador.

Yeah, he lost 3000+ soldiers in a war for oil instead.

Hardly the subject here is it? Bringing in unrelated matter to divert the discussion does nothing to counter the point previously made. The reason that Bhengazi is getting this scrutiny is twofold, first because it happened at all and second because there was an effort to deflect and cover in the lead up to the election. Hillary passing the buck was hardly reassuring.

You guys keep repeating this claim despite the overwhelming lack of evidence

There have been several investigations of the attacks so far. None have supported the idea that there was a coverup of any kind...

It's never OK to lose anyone but you have to look at the circumstances. Leaving our people as sitting ducks in a place like post Khaddafi Libya as the anniversary of 911 approached and after extra security was requested, was the height of irresponsibility.

Sorry, how is it 'passing the buck' when she has said several times she is responsible?
