What an interesting exchange between Hillary Clinton and Rand Paul over the nightmare of Benghazi murder disaster. This is something we have to pursue to the end. We, as a nation, can not allow those four individuals to be left behind just for politics.
The bigger questions is if we let this go by, the murder of four citizens and we don't care, how easy will it be to let the murder of hundreds, or even thousands go unanswered, as taking a stand will jeopardize the very foundation of a controlling progressive agenda.
Another coming problem for the progressive socialist Administration, how will Mr. Obama react to Iran attacking Israel? Appointing a blue ribbon panel to discuss what to do, getting back to the president in with alternatives to complying with a treaty to stand by our friend and only Eastern ally?
Maybe in Hillary's own words we can clear up any confusing on just where the progressive socialist liberals stand, "what difference does it make anyway" if Israel is destroyed, life for the elites in Washington will go on.
After all, it's about getting and keeping power by any means necessary, if a nation is destroyed and millions die, so what. Little wonder then Benghazi, Fast and Furious or even the Boston bombing has evoked little or no emotion from Mr. Obama like the fury showed being defeated on gun control. Murder of citizens by terrorist has little to do with solidifying power, disarming the nation does.
The motto of the progressive is 'power above all else', to believe otherwise, do so at your own risk.
Rand Paul: Hillary's Benghazi story unraveling
'Surprised' by claim she had no knowledge of arms deals

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was “surprised” by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s sworn testimony in a Senate hearing in which she claimed that she did not know whether the U.S. mission in Libya was procuring or transferring weapons to Turkey and other Arab countries.
It was Paul who asked Clinton the question during the hearings. His inquiry focused on alleged weapons shipments out of Benghazi to arm the rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s WABC Radio, Paul was reacting to Clinton’s testimony in light of a New York Times report last month that claimed that since early 2012, the CIA has been helping Arab governments and Turkey obtain and ship weapons to the Syrian rebels.
The plan mirrors one the Times reported in February as being proposed by Clinton herself. The Times described Clinton as one of the driving forces advocating for arming the Syrian rebels via Turkish and Arab cut outs. The New York Times reported Clinton and then-CIA Director David Petraeus had concocted the plan, which called for vetting rebels and arming Syrian fighters with the assistance of Arab countries. If Clinton knew about the arms transfers, she may have committed perjury during her Benghazi testimony.
Any training or arming of the Syrian rebels would be considered highly controversial. A major issue is the inclusion of jihadists, including al-Qaida, among the ranks of the Free Syrian Army and other Syrian opposition groups. Paul further charged during the radio interview that the alleged weapons shipments “may have something to do with” why the U.S. mission in Benghazi was attacked last September.
Regarding Clinton’s testimony, Paul stated: “I was surprised that she acted as if she never even heard of the whole concept of arms coming out of Libya through Turkey … since it had been reported in several mainstream media sources that this has been going on. So I was quite surprised that she acted as if she had never heard of any of this, because some of the reports said that she has been arguing for this.”
Paul said many public and government officials “keep this sort of veil of deniability, and the reason they can deny it is, well, maybe the U.S. wasn’t actually buying and transferring the arms.
“Maybe we were facilitating it. Simply coordinating with Turkish people who were doing it and they can simply try to stand by and say, ‘Well, no, we didn’t do it, the Turks did it.’ But in reality a lot of this may have involved our involvement.”
In the hearings over the Obama administration’s handling of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Clinton claimed to Paul that she did not know whether the U.S. was helping Turkey and other Arab countries in procure weapons.
Paul asked Clinton: “Is the U. S. involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?”
“To Turkey?” Clinton asked. “I will have to take that question for the record. Nobody has ever raised that with me.”
Continued Paul: “It’s been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya and that may have weapons, and what I’d like to know is the annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons, and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries, any countries, Turkey included?”
Clinton replied: “Well, Senator, you’ll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex. I will see what information is available.”
“You’re saying you don’t know?” asked Paul.
“I do not know,” Clinton said. “I don’t have any information on that.”
