More on Clinton's Testimony

Last night, I watched more of Hillary Clinton's testimony before the House on CSPAN. She was clearly well prepared. It was also a clever strategy on the part of her and his team of Democrat senators and House members to try and put the Republicans on the defensive over the question of funding. Instead of boring in more on her obvious faults, they were devoting time to rebutting the above charge. Clinton, however, made a serious misstatement in the Senate hearing when she asked what difference it all made (about the reason for the attack).

Was it really about the lack of funding that the security in Benghazi wasn't enhanced? Fox News points out that Charlene Lamb had testified that necessary funding could have been drawn from elsewhere.

But where would State have found the funds to send more security personnel to Benghazi?

How about holding a few less cocktail parties? They are a big part of diplomacy, you know (having attended a few myself in Bangkok, Milan, Istanbul and Rome).
