Typical ABC spin report whitewashing the important aspects.... WASHINGTON DC - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to be on Capitol Hill Wednesday, to give long-awaited testimony about State Department security and the attack that left four Americans dead in Benghazi, Libya.
Clinton, who had to postpone testimony because of health issues, is scheduled to appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at 9 a.m. and the House Foreign Affairs Committee at 2 p.m. Wednesday. She will be the only person giving testimony in the hearing called, “Terrorist Attack in Benghazi: The Secretary of State’s View.”
More than four months have passed since an act of terrorism killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Libya. Clinton was expected to testify about a report on security failures in Benghazi in December, but first a concussion and then a blood clot near her brain kept the out-going secretary of state away from Capitol Hill.
The report led to the firing of three State Department employees from their posts and one resignation because of ”systemic failures and leadership deficiencies at senior levels in securing the compound.” The departing staff are still on administrative leave, however, meaning they are still State department employees.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Clinton would first tell representatives at the morning hearing about how the department has begun implementing the report’s recommendations.
“As she’ll make clear tomorrow, all of the recommendations are currently being implemented, but there will be plenty of implementation work that needs to be carried forward by her successor,” Nuland said at the daily briefing today.
Nuland also said Clinton has been reviewing recommendations from the Accountability Review Board, getting status updates on their implementation, and talking to people in the department who were pushing forward on the matter while she was out sick, all of which will be reflected in her prepared statements ahead of taking questions from members of Congress at both testimonies.

Hillary’s legacy is the large amounts of cash Slick Willy has hauled in from the Saudis.
Reckon anyone will ask her if the weapons used in the Algerian massacre were obtained from Libya? Bueller??

Look at her tweets on twitchy.com. . Excellent.
I suspect she’ll be looking for a new job shortly, don’t you? It is so infuriating to know we will probably never get answers to her questions. And few care. Which makes me wonder why the families of those men aren’t more involved (publicly) in getting answers. Maybe they’ve tried, and no MSM outlets will put them on camera.
CBS has been *trying* to reposition itself at little less left in the past 6+ months, not sure who has been doing it. Scott Pelley, and Condi Rice are recent examples….. Unfortunately the old guard is still in control.
I don’t understand the lack of noise from the families of the murdered or those that survived the assault in Benghazi. They must have been threatened into submission. Same with the Newtown families.. I live 40 minutes away, and have only heard 2 families speak up via newspapers…both with anti gun views.
“I don’t understand the lack of noise from the families of the murdered or those that survived the assault in Benghazi.” This is a quandary of mine, as well.
The real issue isn’t security at “the mission.”
The real issue is THE MISSION tondistrubute arms to Islamic terrorists.
These arms from Libya have already killed Americans in Algeria.

One of the senators tied al qaeda from Benghazi to Algeria, either Rand or Johnson.
I don’t understand why not one person will drop dime on this operation when our country is at stake. Is their not one person who has children or grandchildren that is worried enough to fall on their sword. I don’t get it. If I was in the circle and I saw this going on I would act like I was on the team but I would get a reputable media person and tell it all. Their are worse things in life than to die. Living a horrible cowardly life is one of them. Somebody has to pull the plug. I don’t consider myself anything of a hero and I have children and grandchildren that I want to have a chance at freedom but I would out this whole regime even if they had a gun to my head. Watch the cowards question Hillary and you will know heros don’t exist in government.
triage, it is people like you that need to run for office. Start at the local level.
They know good people like you will not run because you’ve got too much to loose. They like when fresh meat arrives because they love to gang up and make the life of the fresh meat a living hell just to show what they are capable of. They get some sort of perverse pleasure out of it.
Those with evil intent have no problem coming out of the woodwork. They dare you to take them on.
You don’t understand? It’s all about the money … and the power. But mostly the money.
I am very thankful for a reporter who chooses to be the free press… Sharyl Attkinson…and puts that privilege and duty on the line at the right time. Senators and Representatives have that extra layer of politics that they attend to…you need a free press to ask the unfiltered questions. Tomorrow if the Senators and Representatives don’t get the answers the free press..Sharyl Attkinson… reasonably wanted that have long been requested and turned away by the White House…then it will be to their shame by way of public hearing.
Hmmm. I guess Attkinson didn’t get the memo that the “Questions” have to match the answers already prepared in advance by Die Dunkle Führer and his team. She clearly doesn’t understand how the New Reich operates. Maybe she should read up a bit more on Leni Riefenstahl.

Finally finished her statement and mendendez mentioned 5 min limit re questions to meet Mdm Secretary time availablity?
What.a.joke.
Please, someone just ask questions in a “Yes” or “No” format!!!
Administration relied on radical islamic militias to provide security for US personnel in Libya.
Is it just me, or does anybody else see a problem with that?
This is the make Benghazi go away hearing. Nothing interesting will come out I think.
It’s like a going away party for Clinton from the democrat sychophants!!! Hello this is testimony about Benghazi, remember where a US Diplomat and others were murdered almost 5 months ago on September 11 by terrorists coz Clintom & Obama administration left them unprotected!!
Unbelievable
Yes I agree…sounds like an awards ceremony for Sec. Clinton from “the democrat sychophants.”
…was she praying for the safety of the brave former Navy SEALS in Benghazi…

Some of you might have seen that photograph from the White House Situation Room on the day Usama bin Ladin was killed. And I’m often asked: What was going through my mind during that very long, tense day? And first, I remembered all the people here in New York who I had gotten to know, who I was privileged to represent in the Senate, and how much they, and we, deserved justice for our loved ones. And I thought about America and how important it was to protect our country from another attack. And I prayed for the safety of those brave men, those Navy SEALS risking their lives on that moonless Pakistani night.
-snip-
Finally a video was brought up…Clinton’s getting pissed & louder
said something like ….”what difference is it whether started from a video or men walking in the streets”. Wtf? what difference??
Video of Clinton tantrum included in this link…this exchange of “who’s on first” just doomed her for any possible 2016 run.
http://m.weeklystandard.com/blogs/clinton-shouts-what-difference-would-it-make_697536.html
We have her slogan!!
You’ve outdone yourself. roflmao
Hahahaha perfecto!
McCains giving it to her now accused her of false answers and not having her facts straight. How come State did not interview people that were there?
That didn’t last long. Back to the azz kissing festival.
Rand Paul giving it to her BIG…why no one has been fired over this tragedy & said along the lines re failure of leadership “….if I was President i would have found you culpable and relieved you of your post”.
Just asked if US annex in Benghazi is transferring or procuring weapons from
Libya to Turkey or any other country”
Wow
He’s got my vote 2016
Here is Rand Paul exchange with Clinton, video in link.
Nailed her

LOL at loopy woman next to Hillary wearing a blue bedspread.
Same woman with blue “poncho” bedspread behind her right shoulder in house testimony?
She is an aid, just passed a paper to Clinton
Just finished, next she goes in front of House this afternoon.
11:34 a.m. She looks like she ate the canary.
I’ve got so much to say about the bullshit she is spewing but it’s coming out too fast and furious!
Oops, sorry, am I allowed to state the Hillary Clinton is spewing bullshit?
Yes
Did Clinton just repeat same opening statement to House members used earlier before in Senate testimony??
Below is her statement:
SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY
WASHINGTON, DC
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2013

Ms. Ros-Lehtinen
She’s one of the good ones (for now)
Ros-Lehtinen/FL asking tough questions about the States failure to act, security & their wasteful spending within the State Department.
If all being equal with the “congress wanting to get to the bottom of Benghazi” why is it
that mostly Republicans are asking the tough questions?
Guy from American Samoa…. “thank you for your eloquent statement”?
Barf…now congress spewin sht
This is worse dog & pony show than the senate testimony
All the “friendly” members are praising her for her time as secretary of state, squander
their time and than she gives random nothing answer
“learn from mistakes to prevent a future tragedy” well if you had learned from previous
Libya attacks from Spring 2012 and prior 9/11/12 would not have happened.
Obama wanted this attack to happen(probably set it up) and take out Stevens…he was the liability in the arms trading to the rebels and they needed him GONE.
Clinton is now saying there was no real time video or audio? I didn’t catch who is speaking to her, dark suit, maroon vest,..he also brought up the arrested filmmaker.
I wish someone would just ask her: Why did you all want Ambassador Stevens dead?
Dana Rohrabacher (R)
California’s 48th Congressional District
was the guy I didn’t know in previous comment….go figure, another R asking specific Benghazi questions
Never forget this image
http://newyorklibertyreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/bloody.jpg
Why weren’t you the on to go on the Sunday shows? Clinton: Meh, it just aint my thang.
Wilson just asked her why she did not go on the Sunday morning talk shows to tell the truth about Benghazi instead of Rice and she basically said she does not “do the talk shows as she has more important things to do on Sunday”…..Shameful the incompetance this person that is the sitting US Secretary of State has produced today.
those 4 brave US patriots that were murdered in Benghazi deserved so much better than her.
Anybody know who the guy is sitting directly behind her left shoulder? A reporter?
He looks as disgusted as I feel
Is he wearing a pretty braclet?
Islam’s Black Flag Flies Over U.S. Embassy in Egypt
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/raymond-ibrahim/islams-black-flag-flies-over-egypt/
Understanding The Prophetic Significance Of The Black Flag Of Islam
“It was in 2004, when American businessman Nicholas Berg’s brutal execution by beheading was widely shown all over the Internet, that most Americans caught their first glimpse of the black flag of Islam. Hung on the wall behind Berg and his murderous executioners was a black banner with Arabic writing in white.”
“Over the past few days, the black flag has been observed amidst the protests and riots in Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Nigeria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Indonesia, India, Turkey, Jerusalem, Gaza and even Germany, Australia and England. Across the world, Muslims of every race, tribe and nation are marching under the same black banner.”
“Another name for the flag in Arabic is al-Ùqāb, and is sometimes referred to as “the Eagle” or alternately as “the Punishment.”
“Islam’s black flag is most often emblazoned with white Arabic writing. The phrase in Arabic, lā ʾilāha ʾillà l-Lāh, Muḥammadur rasūlu l-Lāh translates into English as, “There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God.”
“While some in the Western media have claimed that the symbol of the black flag belongs exclusively to radical terrorist groups, in fact, the flag is also used by Hizbut-Tahrir, an international Islamic group whose goal is to reestablish the Caliphate, though it claims to reject all violence or terrorism.”
“According to Islamic prophecies, Muslims believe that the emergence of Muslim armies carrying black flags is powerful sign of the end times…”
“To discerning Christians who still recognize the warnings of biblical prophecy, it is clear that the Islamic Caliphate, or the “Mideast Beast” is on the way (Daniel 2, 7, Revelation 13, 17). Of course, even if one rejects the words of Jesus and Paul, it is clear that there is a powerful movement swirling throughout the Islamic world with strong apocalyptic or eschatological threads running throughout.”
“But God knows that it is not a matter of if, but when the apocalyptic volcano that is the Middle East will explode. As we all anxiously watch the events unfold in the Middle East, it is time for Christians and unbelievers both to prepare their hearts and lives for all that lies ahead. For whether we like it or not, there are dark clouds, and black flags, gathering on the horizon.”
