Rubio Challenges Clinton To “Explain Why Her Department Failed”
Cybercast News Service ^ | December 28, 2012 | Elizabeth Harrington

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, to “explain why her department failed.”

In an editorial published on Wednesday, Rubio said the State Department Accountability Review Board (ARB) report released last week “concisely lays out much that we already knew” about the attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

“This was the premeditated work of terrorists, not a protest about a YouTube video that spun out of control,” Rubio said, adding that “the attackers employed military tactics and used rocket-propelled grenades and other heavy weapons; they also used simple weapons of opportunity, such as gasoline used to set the fire that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and Sean Smith.” …

Don't tell her ahead of time what the questions will be, don't give her time (a day,week, or month) to think about an answer. Put her on the SPOT.

But, then again her only answers always is "I don't recall".

Well done. So many have closed their eyes to the truth on this.

Amen!

Pro-Illegal Rubio is just looking to posture for the camera.

Let’s hear from those 40+ staffers who were evacuated from Begnhazi. Why are they being sequestered from Congress?

Exactly right! If the story gets out the new media gets the job done otherwise it does not exist.

Hi RG911
The attack was retaliation for our CIA arming the Muslim Brotherhood's Anti-Assad movement. The Russians either sponsored or orchestrated an Iranian based Pro-Assad group of terrorists to shut down our operation permanently.

At least two (possibly three) well armed and trained teams of one hundred executed a coordinated attack on both the consulate and the formerly secret CIA safe-house located nearby.

This is the real reason no rescue attempt was made. Russia had satellite photos of our entire Libya gun-running operation. We were busted.

This is Obama's Cold War. He will continue to use others to turn the entire middle east over to the Muslim Brotherhood, but he will not engage Russia directly. Russia in turn will continue to protect it's assets using Iraian-based terrorists. Any direct confrontation by either of us is an admission of guilt/involvement. The appearance of keeping his hands clean is much more important to Obama than a few American's losing their lives.

All the while Obama will continue to adamantly lie to the American people to cover himself, even if he has to look like a idiot while placing blame on YouTube.

It's truly disgusting, isn't it?
