Telegraph: Reports the following on the State Department Report on the Benghazi Deaths, " has strongly criticised State Department security arrangements there as "grossly inadequate." ".
Lets Get Real:
The question that really has to be asked folks IS will Secretary Clinton ever face a Congressional Committee when it comes to the Libyan deaths, how will the Republicans play this issue over the next four years, it is the general view within the D.C that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee in 2016, it will not be VP Biden, thus will Republican supporting groups do a Kerry of 2004 on Clinton in 2016, will they start undermine her national security profile, the death of the US Ambassador in Libya was the 1st such death in 30 years, the Clinton Camp have a problem, they need to get the Secretary out there, taking the tough questions in one go, not having to answer the same questions over the next four years. This is serious for the Clinton Camp folks, at the end of the day Secretary Clinton has taken the political blame for Libya but she has not faced Congress, she of late has had the flue and has hurt her head with a fall, those with a more cynical view have stated, typical of a Clinton, avoiding tough questions, on the hope that the issue will go away, its not new for the Clinton Camp, Bill Clinton and the Impeachment process. Thus if Hillary Clinton wants to be the 2016 nominee she has to get in front of this issue, its a political IED that could go off at any time and derail her attempt in 2016. Thus political advice to Clinton Camp, have the Secretary go before Congress in 2013, how ever long and answer all their questions, then when the issue comes up again, say go read the Congressional transcript. Lets see how the Clintons play this issue folks.
