Hillary Clinton may not see the point, but her Thursday testimony may tell us much about her ability to lead.

Before the attack, there was ample warning that the U.S. consulate in Benghazi wasn’t secure, with terrorist threats in the area multiplying. Even the International Red Cross had pulled out of Benghazi. After a string of requests from the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli for more security, in mid-August came a joint Embassy-CIA recommendation to move the State Department’s people into the CIA’s Benghazi compound. The State Department in Washington was invariably unresponsive, even though, as Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey later testified, the rising terrorist threat in Libya was well known.

Given her self-proclaimed central role in deposing dictator Moammar Gadhafi, why was Mrs. Clinton so detached from the deteriorating situation in Libya? She has so far dodged the issue, pawning off such “technical” matters on her subordinates. Working in the State Department in 1990 when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, I saw firsthand how Secretary of State James Baker dived into every detail of safeguarding U.S. diplomats stranded in Kuwait City. If earlier secretaries of state have been perfectly prepared to get their fingernails dirty in operational details when those under their responsibility were threatened, why wasn’t Mrs. Clinton?

Republicans should police their own but they are too stupid & it's evident in their antics in The U.S. House of Rep/Con/Teas.

How many have been killed by incompetence on 9/11 & The Iraq war LIE?

Democrats are the stupidest people on the planet, for not pursuing investigations into the events on your list, enabling GWB

Yes, and global warming isn't happening because China and India will continue belching carbon.

Try harder.

Uh-huh.

The reason liberals didn't police Bush on 9-11 is that there was legitimate concern we were in a new sort of war. That is, the liberals were patriotic.

Conservatives aren't patriotic. Well, if you believe the United States is actually the GOP, and that the GOP's interests come before those of the United States, then I guess they are patriotic in that way.

Pointing out your tradition of moronism by listing your greatest hits isn't redirection. It's well-deserved mockery.
