Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Wednesday told Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that her testimony thus far at a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the September attack in Benghazi, Libya was "not satisfactory."
"There are many questions that are unanswered and the answers that you've given this morning are not satisfactory to me," McCain said. He pointedly criticized the Obama administration for not providing "the security that was needed" in Libya after the fall of Moammar Gadhafi.
Clinton suggested that members of Congress are to blame for delaying some of the assistance that had been requested by the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya.
"We've got to get our act together," Clinton said.

At a Senate hearing on the Benghazi attacks Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that her stepping down indicates that she accepts "the culpability for the worst tragedy since 9/11."
Had he been President at the time, Paul said, he would have relieved Clinton of her post. "I think it's inexcusable," he said.

(641 posts)That he is a senator disgusts me. Of course he also mentioned that he called for the impeachment of Bush after 9/11. NOT!

(17,528 posts)He must have fallen on his head and damaged his brain when he fell from that apple tree! There's very few people I have more contempt for!
How dare him...lecturing and scolding Hillary! Saying he'd fire the best SoS we've ever had! Just proved to the world...what an angry, lousy, irresponsible, stupid president he'd make. He's even worse than John Mccain!
He just lost a lot of future votes!

(4,119 posts)Said he would have fired her if HE WAS PRESIDENT. Wish Hillary had the freedom to tell the truth: "Nice campaign speech Senator Paul, but can we get back to the hearing "
And too McCain: "You're questioning MY judgement...YOU picked Palin." Followed by laughter.
