Someone should hand Amb. Kennedy a shovel.

He’s flinging BS to beat the band.

Engle just stated he doesn’t care about accountability, he only cares about how to prevent another Benghazi in the future.

My feed keeps crashing. Will have to just follow thread.

For pene's sake and all who may be cubicle bound, let's all try to relay the substance of what is being said.

Kennedy is only there to protect the regime. Would love to see his offshore accounts.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/09/15/congress-hillary-s-benghazi-investigation-let-top-officials-escape-blame.html

The Daily Beast first reported last month that the Kerry State Department decided to allow those four officials to return to work in the State Department, although not in their previous jobs. Although former Undersecretary of State Thomas Pickering, the head of the ARB, said that responsibility should be placed at the assistant secretary level, top officials including Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs Beth Jones were never disciplined.

(snip)

Issa’s investigation also found that the ARB was rushed in its investigation, completing its work in only 10 weeks, undermining claims by Clinton and President Obama that the ARB conducted a full and complete investigation into the attacks. Also, the committee identified several conflicts of interest between the ARB and the people they were investigating. Jones admitted to the committee that she had close personal and professional relationships with both Pickering and the executive director of the ARB staff Uzra Zeya. Pickering also knew Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Liz Dibble, who had a role in Benghazi security decisions but was not punished after the ARB report. Dibble was subsequently named Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in London.

Kennedy: we are well on the road to increasing Marine guards.Especially at locations identified as higher threat locations.

Duh!!! It is common sense to determine security levels and to staff accordingly based on the threat level.

And funding was not an issue in FY 2012 when Benghazi happened.

Kennedy keeps talking about “ new” needs for security. What baloney!

He is probably right about new needs for security since Obama is arming every terror network throughout the Middle East now.

Ms. Ros-Lehtinen up.

Why hasn;t anyone been fired or resigned over the failures in security?

Says “Really, who believes you?”

Says the White House has failed to tell us what the President was doing the night of Benghazi?

Who gave the stand-down order?

Did anyone lift a finger to help the folks at Benghazi?

Says has not recieved detailed report requested from Clinton in JAnuary on the 64 recommendations from the ARB?

Asks Kennedy to answer the above.

And funding was not an issue in FY 2012 when Benghazi happened.

The State Department had $680,000 to spend on Facebook "Likes". Seems like they had plenty of money in the budget.
