FEINSTEIN BLAMES ADMINISTRATION ON BENGHAZI

California Senator Diane Feinstein told Chris Wallace of Fox News yesterday that we knew something would happen at Benghazi but did nothing to prevent it.  “I have gone through the intelligence and there were two full binders of intelligence and there was a great deal of intelligence that would indicate that something well could happen.  It wasn't tactical, it didn't say, on September 11th you can expect x, y or z. But there was enough to know that there were problems in the area.  There were also attacks, prior attacks, British ambassador, the Red Cross, prior attack on the mission, etc.  So, we had reason to believe that there was a problem there.”  She added, “I think if you looked at the intelligence, you would have substantially beefed up the security in that particular mission, in Benghazi. And, it didn't happen sufficiently.”  

COMMENTS:

And I will pray that we get to the bottom of the Benghazi Massacre story early in 2013, if we still have enough money in the treasury to afford it. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. I see Hillary Clinton has been hospitalized with a blood clot as a result of a fall and concussion a couple of weeks ago.  You and a whole bunch of other conservative writers suggested her “fall” was manufactured to get her out of testifying about Benghazi.  Now what do you have to day for yourself?  (Nicole ~ Stockton, CA)

A. Well, I have to apologize.  But, you cannot blame us for being cynical about what anybody in the Administration says or does.  That having been said, a blood clot in the head is very serious business and the Secretary has my sincere best wishes. 

Q. Obama has made it his promise to the American people to pass gun legislation in 2013 as a result of the recent massacres.  Isn’t this a rush to judgment?  (Barron ~ Sun Valley, ID)

A. No.  It’s opportunism.  Obama has had a firm anti-gun agenda forever, which is difficult to understand since all Secret Service Agents carry guns. 

Q. Did I hear that Russia is building up its naval presence in Syria?  (Hal ~ Dayton, NV)

A. They have a naval base there at the Port of Tartus, and they are building up their fleet there, but reportedly for the purpose of extracting Russians living in Syria if it becomes necessary.  It should be remembered, however, that Russia backs Assad and has made no bones about the fact that it does not want American intervention in the situation.  So, case scenario: Assad uses chemical weapons and Obama has to make good on his threat to take military action and Russia tells him to back off.  Now what?
