Report: GOP senators won’t confirm Kerry until Clinton testifies on Benghazi
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 2012 | Joel Gehrke

Republican senators will refuse to confirm Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as Secretary of State until the nation’s current top diplomat, Hillary Clinton, testifies about her handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack.

“The Senate is expected to take up Kerry’s nomination in early January, but multiple Republican senators have already said they won’t agree to a vote on Kerry’s nomination until Clinton testifies about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi,” The Cable’s Josh Rogin notes.

Clinton backed out of testifying at a congressional hearing last week after fainting and suffering a concussion. She was the first cabinet-level official to acknowledge that terrorists played a role in the assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.

“For some time, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb and other groups have launched attacks and kidnappings from northern Mali into neighboring countries,” Clinton (said during a United Nations meeting...) New York on September 26. “Now, with a larger safe haven and increased freedom to maneuver, terrorists are seeking to extend their reach and their networks in multiple directions. And they are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions underway in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi,”

I presumed that if Hillary had any thoughts of running in ‘16 she’d have to spend the next 3 yrs. with Pelosi’s plastic surgeon.

Nominating Kerry is just extending a big middle finger to the Swiftboat Vets.

They’ll cave just like they always do or her questions will be silly little general ones that don’t amount to a hill of beans.

“I don’t recall...”

“I don’t remember.”

“I don’t know. It was a long time ago.”

“I was baking cookies for the Muslim Brotherhood.”

“I slipped and had a concussion and since then it’s all been so foggy...”

I will save them the trouble.

Uh, I don't recall.
To the best of my recollection that is not what occurred.
Sorry, I just can't remember that.
I have no memory of that.

Proceed to the coronation.

Yes, the development of backbone is to be encouraged in jelly fish and sponges.

BTW, what democratic transformation occurred in North Africa? There were some armed rebellions and coups, but they aren’t necessarily democratic just because they say that democracy’s what they want. That’s what Robespierre and Fidel Castro said they wanted. Lenin, too.

Any GOP Senator voting to confirm Kerry as Sec. of Defense needs to be sent back to the Private Sector.

However, they could take some fat out of Michelle’s ass and put it in Hillary’s lips.
