Aside from the partisan rant, I watched this long overdue hearing and the first thing that came to mind to describe it was; another meaningless, devoid of fact or solutions, dog and pony show. Blame if you must can be equally spread on Obama’s “friendly image policy” in Libya, Clinton for losing touch with the reality of the situation on the ground, Congress for denying funding for more realistic security in Benghazi.
If you reversed the players and had a republican in Clinton’s seat there would be the same dog and pony show on the part of the dem’s. It’s just another pathetic display of our stupid foreign policy in the middle east. Our insane dependence on our military was what finally drove me away from even being a conservative independent to becoming a Libertarian. I think we need to withdraw everything we have militarily in the middle east and put our citizens on notice that if they work there they do so at their own peril. We only get 10% of our oil from them now, shut off OPEC and ramp up drilling here.
They have been killing each other over the Shia/Sunni conflict for hundreds of years. They hate us, always have and always will. They don’t want to be “saved for democracy.” Maybe one day America will have a truly enlightened awakening and quit trying to be the world’s policeman…
