    If she had taken money from somewhere else and that place got attacked yall would be making the same argument.

    Yup, like all places were hot spots, you're an idiot.

    How 'bout she just responded to the places that were requesting help? Too simple for the smartest woman in the room.

  3. Dr. Anne Stevens, the sister of Ambassador Chris Stevens, has served as a family spokesperson since his death. She is the chief of pediatric rheumatology at Seattle Children’s Hospital. We spoke twice in the past three days, including shortly after the House Select Committee report was issued. Dr. Stevens recalled that her brother had been fascinated by the Middle East since childhood, when he dressed up as Lawrence of Arabia, with a towel and a pot atop his head. He served in the Peace Corps, in Morocco, before joining the Foreign Service, and he served twice in Libya before his final posting there, as well as in Damascus, Cairo, Jerusalem, and Riyadh. My interview with Dr. Stevens has been condensed and edited for clarity.

    Whom do you fault for the lack of security that resulted in the death of your brother, in Benghazi?

    It is clear, in hindsight, that the facility was not sufficiently protected by the State Department and the Defense Department. But what was the underlying cause? Perhaps if Congress had provided a budget to increase security for all missions around the world, then some of the requests for more security in Libya would have been granted. Certainly the State Department is underbudgeted.

    I do not blame Hillary Clinton or Leon Panetta. They were balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world. And their staffs were doing their best to provide what they could with the resources they had. The Benghazi Mission was understaffed. We know that now. But, again, Chris knew that. It wasn’t a secret to him. He decided to take the risk to go there. It is not something they did to him. It is something he took on himself.

    What did you learn from the two new reports by House Republicans and Democrats?

    It doesn’t look like anything new. They concluded that the U.S. compound in Benghazi was not secure. We knew that.

    What did you think of Secretary Clinton’s conduct on Benghazi?

    She has taken full responsibility, being head of the State Department, for what occurred. She took measures to respond to the review board’s recommendations. She established programs for a better security system. But it is never going to be perfect. Part of being a diplomat is being out in the community. We all recognize that there’s a risk in serving in a dangerous environment. Chris thought that was very important, and he probably would have done it again. I don’t see any usefulness in continuing to criticize her. It is very unjust.

    To give more to Benhgazi means taking from other embassies and they were all already underfunded because of House Republicans.

    So any incompetency in any area of the government can now be explained away as a "lack of funding".....

    Thats a cool way of looking at things, i now consider every failing company, and every failing branch of government, as simply a problem of a lack of funding.

    Next up, how bout we raise taxes to 90%......... and then there will be funding for everything, including "Bolivarian Purses" which are literally worth less than the "Bills" they are made from. :D
