I was really impressed with Secretary Clinton’s opening remarks at the beginning of the senate hearing.  I thought, “I could vote for that woman.”  But then during the questioning period she said something that absolutely blew me away.  “What difference does it make if it was a riot or just a couple of guys wondering the street feeling like killing some Americans? What difference does it make?”  It makes a whole lot of difference.

She also said she knew immediately that it was a terrorist attack, so why, as the flag draped coffins were being unloaded, did she blame the video.  Why did the president blame the video?  What were they trying to hide?  

Why was the rescue mission called off?  We know a rescue mission was planned because the Ex-Navy Seal would never have endangered his life by painting the enemy compound with a laser if he didn’t think help was on the way. He gave away his position for no reason.  It was intentional suicide unless he thought help was in the air.

According to Admiral Lyons, the national security team watched and listened to the assault, but did nothing.  “We had very credible military resources within striking distance, a military base in Sicily, a C-130 gunship available, and a fully equipped special forces unit prepositioned and waiting.” They were ready to leap at the opportunity, but they were told to stand down, and after fighting for seven hours, four Americans were dead?

Who called off the rescue mission?  Admiral Lyons said, “Somebody high up in the administration made the decision that no assistance would be provided, and let our people be killed. The person who made that callous decision needs to be brought to light and held accountable.”

And then the next question:  Why?  Why did they choose to let them die?  What were they hiding? And why didn’t the Senators in that room not dare to ask the really hard questions?  Are they all complicit?
