Issa to Hillary: Why did State refuse requests to bolster Benghazi security?
Hotair ^

Posted on 10/02/2012 9:48:08 AM PDT by chessplayer

The Right Scoop calls this a “bombshell,” which may underestimate the impact of the question posed by House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Despite the CNN discovery of the late Ambassador Chris Stevens’ journal in which Stevens outlined his fears of terrorist attacks, the Obama administration has told the media that Stevens didn’t push those security issues with the State Department. According to the letter Issa sent today to Clinton, that may be yet another untruth pushed by the White House:

security is bad. security is soooo george bush. and we avoid anything that is george bush. we obamites are better than the bushies. and the libyans love us. we put them in power, after all, so we don’t need any security.

kumbaya and reset buttons. that is our foreign policy.

The FBI was pulled from Benghazi.

Not for security reasons.

But because of what they might find out.

The weapons used to kill Ambassador Stevens were probably provided by Ambassador Stevens to Al Qaeda operatives as instructed by the Administration to help throw out Ghaddafi.

That’s my bet.

What weapons were used in the Benghazi attack, and were they supplied by America?

Too bad Lizzie Warren’s not Secretary of State. Her “deer in the headlights” look is pretty funny.

When Hillary gote into “deer in the headlights” mode, she looks pretty much like any random Wellesley undergraduate.

Garbage. The people around him pushed for more security, and were denied. These decisions to not protect the Ambassador and the People with the Ambassador came from the top. zer0 and state.

Will surprise me if the alphabet soup lap dogs for zer0 and state tell on state and zer0. Bet they have the information, and have the documents to time-line zer0's and state's lies.

From the letter:

“Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012. It was clearly never, as Administration officials once insisted, the result of a popular protest,” the committee’s chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and subcommittee chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, write. “In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the Committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington.”

Doubt they would have found anything. The site of the attack has been trashed. Might as well bring them home.

Issa wrote her a letter?

If Issa wants to get the public’s attention before the election, he should have Boehner recall the House and hold hearings now.

Bohner and the house couldn’t get the public’s attention over holder’s lies regarding fast and furious why would this be any different?

Hllary didn’t increase security in Benghazi because she does what her boss tells her to and her boss cares more about how much middle east muslims like him and not so much about american lives.

want more proof take a look at the ROE in afghanistan

Why wasn’t every foreign embassy’s security increased on 9/11. Hillary Clinton is an utter failure. She’s no brilliant diplomat. She was the wife of a governor then president who was handed a senate seat. She learned some things in the senate but her worldview is pro-UN, anti-America. She’s still a 60’s radical.

I have to say, Hillary doesn’t look too good. Sunken eyes and she might have put on some weight. Seems she may be regretting having accepted the post of scapegoat...er... Secretary of State.

The life of a road warrior is not easy, even with private jets and 5 star hotels. She’s definitely wearing down.
