and Hillary Clinton on September 12, 2012. Hillary Clinton clearly stated that there were heavily armed attacks. The lack of security was a budget issue, not a negligence issue.
In addition, after watching a little of Johnson's questioning this morning and remarks made by other Republicans about Benghazi, I am amazed at how little Republicans understand about diplomacy. Of course, Clinton was very cautious in her statements about the Benghazi attacks while they were being investigated. She needed the support and assistance of the authorities in Libya. She had to avoid embarrassing or threatening those in charge in that country. She was protecting the safety and security of the remaining Americans in the country.
No wonder we got into two wars and lost the hearts and minds of so many in the world during the Bush years. A guy like Johnson has no clue how things work in diplomacy.
I now understand why President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize nearly instantly when he took office. It was the world's way of saying "Thank you" for ridding us of that obnoxious guy Bush who doesn't understand how diplomats are supposed to function in the world.
