Is anyone watching this hearing? It is ONLY republicans (I don't think there's a Dem there (Cummings Clayborne is the only one)) grilling the "witnesses". Darrell Issa has FINALLY, after four years, gotten a hearing against this administration. I bet when he stands up you'll see a cum stain down his leg.
RE: The consulate embassy bombing ->
'How could they not see this coming?' 'How could they not have stopped the bombing?'
Like what, jump in front of the car and stop it SuperMan style? Because, by god, 4 AMERICANS GOT KILLED! (actually, they say - an Ambassador and three others).
Did we ever have an oversight hearing about the 4486 killed in Iraq? No.
Did we ever have an oversight hearing about the 2134 killed (so far) in Afghanistan? No.
These people have absolutely no shame what-so-ever. The repubs are are absolute pieces of shit. No - they are mounds of shit.
Thank you. I'm going to resume my drinking now.
Can't wait until they get voted out of the majority.

UPDATE: Here is a good article from NY Times that sums the hearing up well.
The squabbling among the committee members at times appeared to overshadow the testimony of the State Department officials called as witnesses. At one point, Representative Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, objected to a photograph that the State Department displayed of the diplomatic mission and the area surrounding it because he thought it was classified.
Mr. Cummings asked if the photo could be found on Google, and the panel accepted that the State Department had the authority to declassify its own materials.
Under questioning from Republicans, Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, and Patrick F. Kennedy, the under secretary of state for management, acknowledged that they had never visited Libya.
The State Department official responsible for security for American diplomats in Libya, Eric A. Nordstrom, said in his opening statement that he believed the committee would conclude that department officials “conducted themselves professionally” in providing security for the mission before the attack, which killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
“I had not seen an attack of such ferocity and intensity previously in Libya nor in my time with the Diplomatic Security Service,” said Mr. Nordstrom, who cautioned against overreacting to the episode.
