BENGHAZI WAS PREVENTABLE; Hillary Clinton cited for lapses
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times Wednesday, January 15, 2014
Committee members, led by Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, concluded that video cameras surrounding the compound show no spontaneous protest against the film. They also flatly concluded that fighters loyal to groups with ties to al Qaeda took part in the attack.
The committee report exposed abysmal security at the Benghazi outpost, including evidence that some of the local guards hired to protect the facility were seen vandalizing or attacking the building in the months before the assault.
Those conclusions could cause political problems for former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton — though the main report doesn’t mention her and instead places blame for the security lapses on those further down the chain of command. Mrs. Clinton has tangled heatedly with congressional Republicans over the handling of the attack and its aftermath.

Now why would there be abysmal security?
Issa: State Dept. sitting on $2 billion-plus for embassy security

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) says the State Department is sitting on $2.2 billion that should be spent on upgrading security at U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide, but the Obama administration will not spend the funds.
Issa made his comment during an appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation" to discuss the recent attack in Benghazi, Libya, that left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead. Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, held a highly partisan hearing on the incident last week.
Issa claims the State Department will not spend the already approved funds because they didn't want to the appearance of needing increased security.

Attending a dinner hosted by South African foreign minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane in Johannesburg, US secretary of state Hillary Clinton takes to the floor to dance. Clinton is on a seven-nation tour of Africa, partly to promote the United States as an alternative to China's growing economic and political influence in the region

Here's Hillary dancing the night away about 1 month before the Benghazi attack that killed 4 Americans. But...but you can't blame her....can you? She was only in charge of the State Dept and all it's people....right?
If she can't handle a small portion of the Government like the State Dept, how on Earth can anyone expected her to handle the whole country any better than Obama? It's time for REAL change, bouncing Old School Old Biddy's like Hillary from ever being president would be a very good start.
