At the same time the state department had plenty of money to make their embassies green.

Remember her last presidential run’s famous bumper sticker:

“Monica Lewinsky’s
ex-boyfriend’s
wife for president!

So she does admit there is a Benghazi scandal. That is a step in the right direction. I think we all know who called back the rescue operation.

FWIW, so was Bernie. Sanders went from integrated New York, to integrated Chicago, and decided after all, to settle down in the whitest state in America. Bernie is the godfather of white flight.

I have a deep respect for Ms. Boxer’s superlative skill in water carrying. Few people appreciate the difficulties involved in doing so with a colander.

Except that in early on testimony before Congress, Department of State officials said that lack of funding was not a factor in what happened......

Barbara Boxer is a liar.

Hillary Clinton on State Dept. budget for FY 2012.

FY 2012 Budget Request March 10, 2011

Testimony Hillary Rodham Clinton Secretary of State March 10, 2011

The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort the same way the Pentagon's request is funded: in a separate Overseas Contingency Operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that fully reflects the integrated civilian-military efforts. Our share of the President's $126 billion request for exceptional wartime costs is $8.7 billion. So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account.

(snip)

But let me just quickly walk you through this, because on this issue of our $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations, we have the strongest support from Secretary Gates, from Admiral Mullen. And next week – I was speaking with General Petraeus last night. He will be here on the Hill strongly supporting the civilian effort that goes hand-in-hand with what he is doing so heroically in Afghanistan. So we are funding vital civilian missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq with this $8.7 billion.

So, with a $47 billion dollar operational account and an additional $8.7 billion dollars for Overseas Contingency Operations Hillary spends $200k on security giving the contract to some unknown British contrator who hired the local 17th of February Martyrs Brigade. The ones who photographed the consulate hours before the attack and ran like rabbits when the attack came.

In addition to that Hillary rejected keeping the DoD provided security which doesn't come out of the State Dept. budget. It's DoD.

I quiet literally mean it when I say Boxer should be publicly horsewhipped for promoting this lie.

It’s a time-honoured way for the media to portray a poor, unfairly-targeted democrat politician as figuratively throwing themselves upon their own swords for repeated holier-than-thou references later on, while in reality there are no consequences for their actions and it is expected that the incident(s) are now unworthy of further comments or justice-seeking attempts.

And quietly disappear about 9 mil in vanished and unrecorded funds.

Remembering that Hill’s brother Tony Rodham married Nicole Boxer, daughter of Barbara. The marriage is over, but Barbara could be a natural to feed talking points to the press.

"Barbara Boxer: 'The Benghazi Scandal' 'Starts With Republicans' Who Cut Funding For Embassy Security"

No amount of money in the hands of a democrat could make any embassy a safe environment. Any additional funding that was required was probably dwarfed by waste and fraud.

Actually, it now appears that BHO never issued the Cross Border Authority necessary for our forces to provide assistance. With no CBA received, our military units were unable to cross into the country legally and were eventually RTB.
