Thanks, seekliberation, yours sounds like a balanced view of Hillary and the whole situation. It helps me understand.

Despite a few liberal attitudes on some issues, i'm sure my posts have shown that I lean to the right and consider most problems in this country to be the result of personal irresponsibility and poor decisions as opposed to evil government or evil businessmen. This is generally the position that most conservatives take. Moreover, i've never been a fan of Hillary or Bill. Not so much because of their policies, but more so their character, or lack thereof. However, I will have to say that this emphasis on Hillary during this whole Benghazi situation is rather unnecessary. If a decision to not send in support to assist those who were killed, then that falls more on Obama's shoulders, IMO. If there was a cover-up trying to place blame on the anti-muslim film rather than something else, that was certainly more of a political maneuver trying to cover the WHOLE administration's ass, not just Hillary. Then we have alleged requests for more security that was never put into action. Well guess what, there are requests for security everywhere. Every base in Afghanistan needs more security, every embassy, every village stability site, and every post. But the US military and DOS is not an omnipresent force that can magically create an invincible fortress. I also think it's funny how Republicans are so blood-thirsty over 4 deaths when tens of thousands have died for other unnecessary reasons. Even the war in Afghanistan has shown signs that it is a waste of effort and lives. Hillary has, in my opinion, done just fine as Sec Of State. Probably average to well above average in comparison to any other in the past. Trust me, I don't like her at all, but I have to call it like I see it. (it's also funny that Democrats aren't angry at all, but would be if it were McCain or Romney who made this mistake). Another factor to consider here is that they were in a Muslim country. Politically correct or not, bottom line is that there are a multitude of individuals in these nations who have a very strong desire to kill Americans. So if you volunteer as a contractor, Dept of State employee, or Dept of Defense, then you either accept that risk, or you are simply blissfully ignorant of what you are getting yourself into. Just like George Carlin said about these contractors overseas "If you don't want to get your head chopped off, stay the f**k in Oklahoma!". I do agree that the lack of action is a fault and should be corrected. It is more on Obama's shoulders than anyone. The worst thing I can think of accusing Hillary of is ignoring requests for additional security. The decision to not send in Close Air Support or a FAST team is primarily Obama, not Hillary. I do agree with what Hillary said in terms of 'what difference does it make, let's learn from this and prevent it in the future'. The US Government has made much worse calls in the past that have resulted in tens of thousands dying. seekliberation --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wgm4u wrote: > > So Hillary, did you enjoy your short lived glory?
