Just for the record. The quote which Raunchy is referencing is not
mine. It is attributable to seekliberation.

and figure that if they hurl enough doubts and complaints at the
administration, they will deflect attention from their own poor
judgments on the State Department's needs.

so their character, or lack thereof.

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.

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).

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!".

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.
