Certainly in emergencies extra security could and would be ordered and sent in- but it was not - and Clinton appears to be using the same excuses as the Administration when it comes to problems in government, lack of funds. So much for personal responsibility.
It appears none or most of the main questions about Benghazi were NOT answered: why it took so long for the administration to correct the 'video' explanation, that the raid was a spontaneous act on 9/11 in response to an anti-Muslim Youtube video. Nor did Hillary clear up who knew what, or who ordered Susan rice to cover for her on the Sunday morning talk shows, following thge Benghazi activity.
What it came down to was Hillary blaming NOT taking full responsibility - and what does she really mean by that?.
So, four months since the 9/11 travesty, Clinton and the administration haven't totally been able to escape the cloud of Benghazi., though not for a lack of trying. Yes, the blood clot could be a serious issue and we wouldn't downplay that, but don't forget, there was first a wine tasting in Australia that Clinton had to attend in October, then a couple of viruses caused her to miss two more hearings prior to the blood clot. , So, she was able to scate free up until just days before her exit as Secretary of State perhaps. She was probably hoping things would calm down by now and that she could leave her position 'intact' as the leading Democratic candidate for president in 2016. Benghazi would be forgotten and all would be fine. Many of the questioning senators DID throw her softball questions and the question about the video only came up briefly near the end of the briefing. Only Senator Rand Paul and John McCain called her on the carpet. So, as has been the case much during the Obama administration, she may yet escape unscathed . But, then again, the Republicans may grow backbones as they have requiring a budget before any further monetary concessions.
