According to Hillary Clinton’s long-delayed Benghazigate testimony, the State Department just did not have enough money to provide security for a mission in one of the most dangerous places in the world.
It did however have 16 million dollars to spend on 2,500 kindle book readers at the drastically inflated price of $6,600 per device.
How much security could that 16 million buy?
It had $79,000 to spend on Obama’s books and $20,000 on a portrait of Obama. The US Embassy had $150,000 to spend on a book about the ambassador’s residence. The US Embassy in Austria had $150,000+ for a Chevy Volt and its charging station.
And here is what else Hillary’s State Department did have money for…
7.9 billion dollars for Obama’s Global Health Initiative.
1 billion for global climate change.
2.2 billion to strengthen democratic institutions in Pakistan.
And of course… Mosque renovations.
In 2011 the State Department provided funds to restore the 15th century Gobarau Minaret in Katsina State in Nigeria’s predominantly Muslim north, an area which has become a virtual killing field for Christians at the hands of Muslim militants, led by the al-Qaeda-linked terror group Boko Haram.
And $4.5 million for Art in Embassies
The New York Times reported in 2009 that Art in Embassies spends about $4.5 million a year for permanent art acquisitions; chief curator Virginia Shore said at the time that artists and dealers support the program via favorable pricing; for the embassy in Beijing, an outlay of $800,000 yielded works with an appraised value of $30 million.
How much Benghazi security would 800,000 dollars have bought? If Hillary Clinton had stopped buying paintings, maybe four Americans would still be alive today.
The State Department also has a Chief Diversity Officer, whose job it is to warn that “holding the fort” is a racist phrase.
As far as security goes, 200 million dollars were wasted on Iraqi police training that never went anywhere.
And nothing says State Department waste, like waste management.
The U.S. Department of State and partners from the LAUNCH: Beyond Waste Forum announce a challenge to identify ten game-changing innovations with the potential to transform current waste management systems and practices. LAUNCH: Beyond Waste seeks transformational solutions to the problem of waste through disruptive innovation, behavioral change, systems design, as well as improved policy and stewardship.
The challenge, which will be open from April 1 to May 15, 2012, asks creative minds to formulate innovative ideas for minimizing waste or transforming it into new products.
Nope, no waste to see here.
The State Department just had no money in its 50 billion dollar budget to pay for Benghazi security. None at all.
In recent 4 years we have provided direct cash aid to:
Muslim Brotherhood-$3.4B
Hamas – 351 M,
Libya 1.45 B,
Egypt – 397 M,
Mexico – 622 M,
Russia – 380 M,
Haiti – 1.4 B,
Jordan – 463 M,
Kenya – 816 M,
Sudan – 870 M,
Nigeria – 456 M,
Uganda – 451 M,
Congo – 359 M,
Ethiopia – 981 M,
Pakistan – 2 B,
South Africa – 566 M,
Senegal – 698 M,
Mozambique – 404 M,
Zambia – 331 M,
Kazakhstan – 304 M,
Iraq – 1.08 B,
Tanzania – 554 M,
Etc…
With literally Billions of Dollars and they still hate us!!!!
“Can’t Buy Me Love” come to mind. Let’s just bring it home. Spend the money here. We could put a huge dent in our National debt and to hell with world stewardship. Personally I am too pissed off at the rest of the world to give a crap about them too. Shut down the money and the food and they will come begging.
Never happen under this President sadly. He will keep sending the money to the terrorist countries. Do not understand why none of the so called journalists never question him on this? Oh right journalism is dead. No balls.
When the goal is to ensure the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood Mafia, of which Al Qaeda is its offshoot, why in the world would securing American embassies be a priority? It isn't.
Therefore, an anti-American administration will do the polar opposite of a patriotic one – http://adinakutnicki.com/2013/01/12/benghazigates…

@Regina. The reason that no journalists question the president on this is because it's BS! None of these things are true, unless of course you're getting your 'news' from FOX and Newsmax!
@Peachy…so this is all BS if FOX or Newsmax reports on it and the others don't? LOL, that's good, real good. You've taken your pill and washed it down with the koolaid. REAL Journalism died with Walter Cronkite…everyone who remains are only story-tellers who will tell you what your itching ears want to hear, and none of them seem to have the brass to ask the really pointed questions for fear of upsetting the king. I do not watch ANY editorialized news programs on ANY station, I choose to gather information (both the good and the bad) and formulate my own opinions. Anyone who isn't doing that for themselves is a sheep.

Posting to the Internet while dreaming. So if someone gets their news from Fox, that makes it true. OK then. I'm not sure I agree entirely, but these assertions we are discussing are in fact easy to verify as true.
Amen and amen!
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
However, as an Austrian, I do thank the United States for the Marshall Plan after WWII.
It all depends where you invest your tax dollars.
but that was 50+ years ago.

Stop the aid they hate us any way
Why do we allow this to continue? Think how many years Social Security could continue at a decent rate for retiree.We could eliminate the debt if we stop giving away our!! Money
We are not giving away our money. They are.
All the while we spread our democracy that nobody wants and we can't even provide a good example at hom
BINGO!!
jrob
Your submission is a keep. Thanks
I also recall that the State Department was purchasing Obama's autobiographies, and then distributing the books to embassies. (Like Mao's Little Red Book — but in Obama's case it would just be "little read." But I suppose it was a lucrative "business" for the Fraud-in-Chief…feathering his nest at taxpayer's expense.)
Funny coincidence. Hitler's only source of private income was the royalties from "Mein Kampf"
"As far as security goes, 200 million dollars were wasted on Iraqi police training that never went anywhere."
How many American dollars was wasted on a war that George W. Bush started in Iraq in his quest for "weapons of mass destruction"? $810,542,654 and counting.
except those weapons of mass destruction actually STILL exist, and are being held by Bashir Assad in Syria. Meaning if Assad falls, al quaida gets their paws on them.
Those convoys we observed leaving Iraq while the French obstructed the security counsel in the UN are coming to a new sense of prominence . I actually regret them being given a 14 month head start to clear up the sites. Also, an Iraqi air force officer testified that they flew the WMD into Syria on modified commercial planes. Okay if Bashir Assad uses them and people die, will it be said that it's GWB fault for not following the intelligence reports that lead to Syria being in receipt of Saddam's war stuff. The shame will forever be on Democrats including BHO for opposing the war effort.
OMG! Are you Obama lite? Even the democrats said that Saddam Husein had WMDs. Clinton was lobbing cruise missiles into Iraq in between getting blowjobs. Quit drinking the damned Koolaid.Bush has not be president for over 4 years and until the democrats took over congress, the economy was doing okay. It was not great but you can thank 50 years of democrat control for all of that.
Marlene, GWB is not longer President. The Iraq war was started when economic times were not so desparate and we were not shorting security at our embassies like are today. GWB did not take security away in order to spend elsewhere. Benghazi happened on Obama's watch. It happened on H Clinton's budget. Obama and Clinton reduced security to spend elsewhere. Plain and simple. No bias.
Couldn't have said it better.
News flash. Bush is no longer president, I repeat, Bush is no longer president. To continue doing something wrong just because someone else did is a litle stupid, is it not? To continue blaming someone out of office for over 4 years is flat ignorant.
How many American dollars were wasted on the more than a million pounds of bombs Bill Clinton dropped on Iraq in his last three years in office?We were already at war in Iraq. Your Dems just didn't tell you. Go read congressional statements on Clinton's undeclared Iraq war.
How many dollars have we spent on Libya, you know, the war Obama didn't ask Congress permission to enter? Obama's war, he said, was for "humanitarian" reasons. Right. BP is very appreciative.
If you can't defend…..attack…. So do two wrongs make you right?
This may come as a shock to you but the democrats gave GWB permission to make war on Iraq. They were for it before they were against it girl friend. Also, since 2006 they controlled the congress completely and could stop funding for the war on a day's notice . This sweetie, is what they did to the Vietnam war under Richard Nixon. The blame goes squarely on their shoulders for going along to get along and having it both ways. Obama could stop it now or at anytime. why not whine to him for not stopping it now or sooner ?
That obama continued, and another he tripled and 2 more (and counting) he started on his own..?
I recall that most of the Democrats in both the Senate and House supported the war in Iraq. I believe that we have wasted lives and money in both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. There were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the Iraqis moved them to Syria. And quit whining about President Bush he has been out of office for four years. As far as I am concerned as a Vietnam veteran I believe that if we are going to engage in war then conduct it like we did in WWII, bomb the hell out of the enemy, and show no mercy.As the late General Curtis Lemay said "We should bomb them back into the stone age!" The Arabs and Iraqis and Afghanis do not give a rat's ass about their nations becoming a democracy. 80% of them detest us. And the Afghan government is a crooked, corrupt bunch of s.o.b.s. I cannot believe that our current illustrous president escalated the war in Afghanistan and then issued a pull out date. What brilliant strategy! And what about Bill Cl
Looking for wmds? Look to Syria where they were moved during the build up to the war. You don't think Syria is the only nation to have do you my liberal uninformed friend.
Marlene, when will liberals like you stop blaming GW for the world's problems? He had nothing to do with Benghazi, Syria, Egypt, Iran, Africa becoming a haven for terrorists….liberals are like spoiled children agruing over candy. Obama stole the election and I hope that the investigation proves it and he is impeached for fraud and is sent to prison. GW would already have been impeached in the press but not a word from the Times or any other rag over the fraudulent election. The "haves" are getting sick and tired of the "give me mores". I work hard for what I have and I don't want any of it given to lazy, drug addicted, alcohol addictive no-goods with their hand out.
Is Bush STILL wasting money for the Iraqi war? Somebody had better take his credit card or just deactivate it?
That's all you noticed in all of the billions of our tax dollars wasted by the Hussein administration? Read it again, please.
Wake up Marlene!
Bush is history now, whatever you think of him. Shut up about Bush and read the Benghazi investigation report issued by the House of Representatives yesterday. The problem at hand is the fraud in charge now and his administration. The current leader is best compared to two past leaders. Hugo Chavez: Obama uses the Chavez playbook of promoting divisiveness to achieve his socialistic goals. Richard Nixon: Obama uses disinformation campaigns to hide lies and incompetence, especially one that would have heavily impacted the last presidential election.
It's time for the insanity to STOP!
Mr. Greenfield,
Why did you leave Israel off the list?
I am not Mr Greenfied but … Israel does not hate America and … look at the map and think about it … "How is the tiny nation of Israel about to defend Herself against the Islamic enemy of Jews and Christians everywhere without assistance from her ally … the United States of America. In other words … Israel is worthy of American funding!!
Genesis 12:3
And I will bless those (Israel) who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse.
RMC–Why should we include our real friends in this list of Neanderthals?
exactly!!
To RMC: Wow, you need to study US foreign policy. Most of these countries on that list Don't hate us. Do you still live in the cold war era? We're not in a Soviet bloc…Go overseas when you get a chance, you might learn something new…
As Billary said,What difference does it make,so 4 people died,big deal!
I guess it isn't a big deal unless you are one of them…or one of them is one of your family members…or one of them are is one of my fellow countrymen. Oh wait…they were ALL my fellow countrymen. Yep. It's a big deal alright. Hilary did the right thing…she stepped down as Secretary of State. We don't need anymore of that crap.
But Obama has the last say and should be held just as responsible as Hillary but sadly never will be!
U. S. losses 4 every week in AFGANIHSTAN … No one crying about that Soldiers volunteer for war zone – know is war zone ,, peoples at embassy same ,,, know is risky war zone If you don’t want be killed stay out of war zone stupid
"U. S. losses 4 every week in AFGANIHSTAN … No one crying about that Soldiers volunteer for war zone – know is war zone ,, peoples at embassy same ,,, know is risky war zone If you don't want be killed stay out of war zone stupid"
People don't expect zero causalities, they expect a best faith effort to keep their word and their oath while serving. We don't get that from leftists. That's why so many people die for the sake of the global caliphate delusion.
They know the risk but also know that they "supposedly" have the back up as requested to help stop what was happening. The problem being that if no one is going to back you up when it is available and requested, how many men and women are going to keep joining and fighting for our rights when they know they will be killed because they the heads of government don't have their backs. You will see our armys with less and less people joining to defend our country if they know it is a defenite death wish.
0'Bama slogan in college: "Bread, not bombs"
0'Bama slogan as president: "Jizya, not guns"
And we wonder WHY we have NO money…this needs to stop…NOW…
we DONT wonder why….we KNOW why…yet our politicians have NOT the backbone to stop it, nor the decentcy to slow down the lining of their pockets!
What a very intoxicating feeling to have unlimited funds to throw at one's pet projects? What power to decide who gets what and how much? Is it any wonder than that the morally bankrupt , corrupt and power hungry "criminals" chose politics as a career?
We are broke because these corrupt people spend too much. We are broke because they have forgotten that they work for us and are our servants, not the other way around. We are broke because there is NO ONE who holds these people accountable for their actions. No matter how badly they do their jobs, they are rehired to do the same lousy job again and again.
In the final analysis we are responsible and the enablers who allow these individuals to abuse us the way they do.
So on Hillary's watch, not only were repeated requests for additional security denied, but the Ambassor's existing security team was drawn down. Then, when the embassy & consulate were under attack, military leaders were told to stand down & not intercede on their behalf. Then after the attack, Hillary, Obama, Ambassador Rice & the administration spun a story that the whole affair was caused by some obscure Egyptian filmmaker, who now sits in jail, thanks to their cover-up. Yeh right, Hillary… what's the big deal?
Americans should be outraged! Are we like sheep? Are we waiting on someone else to fix this? I just don't get it. This is a disgrace to our nation!
Judy, I echo your comment. When are we going to quit talking and start doing ? We can stop most of this by flooding our representatives with emails, letters and phone calls. Then, when election time comes, we should all vote for the challenger. Yes, there are a few in Washington who are doing a good job, however, it is time to make a statement. If we replace every Senator and Congressperson there, we would see a change for the good of our nation.
Robbie: There is no point in flooding our representatives with emails, letters and phone calls. They do not give a damn what the people think if the people question disagree with them. And one only receives a "canned" reply to an email or letter.
Also, consider the fact most of those in office were RE-ELECTED. That means most people support the corruption, waste, fraud, cryonism, incompetence, lies, and criminal acts and behavior of the federal government.
Congress may have waited but, they certainly didn't use that time constructively by composing questions and rebuttals to, what should have been, expected answers!
I'll only speak of the Repubs here as we knew the Dims would waste the time genuflecting at the alter of Pantsuit, Bubba or Zero.
Johnson did well then fell down when Pantsuit came back at him.
Rand Paul was superlative (just getting Boxer to leave was a victory in itself!)
They already knew Congress was being set up as the fall guy in this, in regard to funding for security, and many, along with Pantsuit were unequivocal as to this being a big part of the problem.
They had months and they couldn't have this on the table in front of them???
If FPM can find it, is it really so hard for a Congressman to find it too?
They're not called the stupid party without some reason!
…and we are in the hands of this crap…
As long as we have takers and Obama continues to buy
their vote, there is little we can do about
it…….People like Diane Finestein of California
Whose state is bankrupt and waiting for the
taxpayers to bail them out. And she is telling
us how to run the country…..this is why we have
no money to properly run the country..
No wonder we are broke, what Obummer doesn't spend on vacations with his fat-assed wife which cost us $7 Million just for their Christmas vacation or spend flying around on Airforce One, or throwing parties at "Our Whitehouse" he borrows money from China to give away to countries that hate us. Well when you hire someone from the "Hood" that never held a real job in his life, well then you get what you deserve. Stupid people shoud note be allowed to vote and neither should the ones living all their life on welfare. This by no means, means the retired ones who worked all their life and paid into what our government turned into the biggest "Ponzi" skeams ever ,Soc Sec ,and they have the gall to call it an entitlement….Bull !!!!!!!!
Donna, I whole heartily agree, could not have said it better
myself!!!!!!!!
Go all out to support legislation that will require identification for voters. I need to show an ID to rent a rug shampoo machine for pete's sake!!! I need to show an ID to board a jet, to rent a car, to buy equipment,
to buy alcohol…..but no ID to vote? Madness.
The congress cut her bugget so that the military could be in places that we can't do any good, like Germay, Japan, Canada, etc. Hillary, not Billary, as a pocket full of money to spend, the money she got was for those friendly nations so we can entertain presidents from naiegboring countries. As for the 6600 for a Kindle, that goes along with the 30 dollar for a roll of toilet paper that the petigon spends. Lets fac it, the military is the problem, like spending money for a plane that will never be used. The military does what they want with the money they have or don't have.
Not only do we give money away to our foreign enemies, how about the outrageous number of CZARS and their staffs that answer to no one but the spender-in-chief, How many millions are wasted yearly in theseoffices of our domestic enemies.
According to Issa in Oct. 2012 ……they had $2.2 Billion sitting in State Dept Security Funding untapped that could have been spent for Benghazi and other sites.
Yes, but only about half of you voted in November.
Thus, we clearly see the skewed priorities of the Obama regime.
In my view, we should be using cyber embassies if we cannot protect our diplomatic personnel.
The sad truth of the matter is that everything a conservative says is a lie or facts are just ignored by the liberals. No comment or fact is ever answered by the liberal…they ignore any logic, common sense statements.
And when Bill Clinton illegally bombed Yugoslavia and killed over 15,000 Serbian civilians. Yes both the Croatians and Serbs committed genocide against each other. The Albanians who were illegal aliens in Kosovo were shored up along withg all of the Muslims there. Why did Bill Clinton not intervene in Rwanda where 1 million civilians were murdered. My guess is that there was no strategic importance there and they had no oil or natural gas lines running throughj there country.
