State Department: Hillary Responsible For Security Failures
breitbart.com ^ | 9/12/12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 09/12/2012 8:28:54 PM PDT by Justaham

Today, speaking about the despicable and stomach-wrenching attacks by Islamists on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and our embassy in Cairo, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked: “How could this happen in a country we helped liberate, in a city we helped save from destruction?”

That single line is the most damning indictment of Hillary Clinton’s State Department that could ever be penned. It demonstrates her complete lack of knowledge about the region, her failure to anticipate security threats, and worst of all, her willful ignorance about the Islamists that she and President Obama trusted to take over Libya and Egypt.

“How could this happen?”

Clinton, as Secretary of State, should know the answer to that question. That she didn’t anticipate even the remote possibility of the murder of our ambassador to Libya by her erstwhile friends led to his death. The Secretary of State is responsible for ensuring the security of our embassies and consulates and staff, as the State Department website plainly acknowledges:

“How could this happen?”

This is the same line Hillery used when she first learned about:

Gennifer Flowers
Juanita Broaddrick
Paula Jones
Kathleen Willey
Monica Lewinsky

Need we say, “willing suspension of disbelief”?

This could become a permanent mark of failure for her, which might erase the benefits of having been Sec. of State, for a future campaign.

Hillary’s trip to Egypt-

She sailed away on a sunny summer day on the back of a crocodile,
“You see,” said she, “he’s as tame as tame can be;
I’ll ride him down the Nile,”
The croc winked his eye as she bade them all goodbye, wearing a happy smile,
At the end of the ride the lady was inside, and the smile was on the crocodile!

Note to self:

This is not a joking matter. Several good Marines are dead, as well as other Americans.

I wonder if the Ambassador had allowed them to lock & load, or if they were in “Blue Helmet” mode instead?

I see over half of the Obammy administration getting jobs at the UN before the decade is out. These are just the kind of folks they are looking for.

“How could this happen?” - Sec of State Hillary Clinton

That is not a question for you to ask, Hillary. It is a question
for you to answer before it needed to be asked. Sadly we will
be seeing this ignorant bitch on talking head TV panel shows
until she is too far gone to waddle on set with the aid of a walker.
But, then, that would be preferable to having to watch her
lecture us from the Oval Office (aka The Monica Room).

Hey wait a minute, what about all those PIAPS-ass kissing hacks in the Senate (like Juan McCain) who seemed to think that Shrillery’s limited experience as the junior Senator from New York somehow qualified her to be Secretary of State?

She was no more qualified than 0bama was to serve as POTUS. A pair of rank amateurs, ‘qualified’ only on the basis of their personal egos proclaiming their superior ‘intellects’.

She should have removed those people; Mr and Ms. Cowardliness wouldn’t think of that. I am ashamed of them. It cost lives Ms Clinton. Are you proud of yourself?

She's running in 2016. That Presser this a.m. was so staged, double doors, flags on each side.

Normal, maybe, but the way she exited, was a long stroll through & beyond those doors as if she was walking that red carpeted hallway in the WH.

I think she was very delusional at that moment, she thought she was the PREZ.

I never saw her positioning herself for a Presidential run from SOS. I always thought that her motive was to assist this administration to fall on it's face to help the Clinton legacy look good by comparison.
