Mrs Clinton replied with a raised voice: "But with all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans - was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans."
Thumping the table four times, she added: "What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator."
Mrs Clinton's acknowledgement that she had not read the cables from Libya seeking additional security ahead of the attack was "inexcusable".
"Had I been president at the time and I found that you did not read the cables," he said, "I would have relieved you of your post."
LMAO :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P
Mrs Clinton, who is stepping down from her post in two weeks, has spent a month recuperating from a series of ailments in December, which delayed her testimony.
She is considered a strong candidate for the Democratic nomination for president should she run in 2016.
Mr Obama has nominated Democratic Senator John Kerry to replace her as Secretary of State. (Fucking FAIL)!!!

When Muammar Gaddafi died in 2011, Carlos Slim was listed in the Forbes list of richest people, with a net worth of $105 billion. When Gaddafi died, almost immediately, his net worth was reported to be either $129 billion or $128 billion [I forget which, and digging up that article doesn't come up for me right away in a search]. Wikipedia currently puts Gaddafi's net worth at $200 billion, which means that when he died in 2011, he would have been the richest man in the world. Which was, just like those listed in Forbes currently, most likely bull too. It really only goes to prove that there are oligarchs in the world with a much greater net worth than those listed in Forbes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muammar_Gaddafi
For example, the House of Saud is said to have a combined net worth of $100 billion. But I doubt that for a few reasons, and one would be that I'm sure that figure almost definitely does not include the oil that he Saud family controls that is still in the ground. So in reality, their net worth is more likely in the trillions.
Gaddafi's critical mistake, much like that out Hitler, was to try to free of his country of the current international monetary system status quo.
What it seemed to me, was that he - Muammar Gaddafi - wanted other African countries to come together with him to form a currency called a "North African Dinar", as opposed to the Libyan Dinar that Libya was currently using, and that currency would have been used to compete against the USA's fiat currency [American dollar = $USD] to trade oil for actual gold.
Libya, despite having 10% of Britain's population, had a staggering 50% of the number of gold reserves as Britain.
If you type Gaddafi billions in YouTube, you will see various videos showing the sheer extent of Gaddafi's wealth:
VIDEO follows with GRAPHIC IMAGES, of Muammar Gaddafi's last moments alive:
Lastly - look what has happened since Muammar Gaddafi has been outed. Libya has been used as a way to allow displaced North African migrants to flood into Europe and sit on welfare. In fact, since ousting Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, a staggering 37 MILLION Muslims have been displaced, and have been making it their way to other countries.

Ask them to explain why racial diversity makes White countries better.
The only fact there, is that it makes libtards able to brag about being "not racist". ::) Yeah, epic benefit to the huge increase in rape, murders, and drain on our social services infrastructure that racial diversity causes.
Also, ask them where they live, and watch as they give you a 99% White area. Hypocrites.

Ooh rah, devil dog, I was PLT 3041 .
I was PLT guide for 2 weeks ( mess week and the week after ) and then sr DI fired me to mess with my head.
I signed up with was to be a "combat engineer" ( contract MOS)
Just after phase 2 ( rifle range) I got called into the company commander .
You never get called into anyone with rank as a recruit , unless someone died or you're getting discharged, etc.
I went over , scared as fuk, and banged on the hatch to report.
The Capt told me ; "Ad ease recruit, nobody died and you're not in trouble"
He went on to tell me, I'd max'd out the math and science sections of the ASVAB and they wanted me to change my MOS.
For a few sec I was pumped and figured I was being recruited to do some cool, high speed shit. But no...
" Recruit, the corps needs you to work in ...military finance . For breaking your contract, we'll give you a $1500 bonus after MOS school and promotion to E-2 PFC after boot camp. Are you on board?"
I quickly replied ; " Yes, Sir" signed the forms, asked to be dismissed and walked back to my squad bay.
I ended up doing the pay record for the command Sgt Major. He was a salty hard charger and got me a great duty,
For 4 mos I went TDY ,guarding the ammo dump , instead of being in the payroll office.
The ammo dump is where they store all the ammos and weapons, in big earthen storage rooms with thick metal doors.
It was one of the few times after boot camp, when I felt like real marine.
So, that was my lame experience in the corps . I wish I could brag about doing some brave combat mission, but nope.
How was your time in the corps?

I was in the reserves during my college years. 0331 machine gunner. We had a guy in boot camp who was going to be a Marine Corps mailman 0161. ;D He didn't make it through 1st phase. ;D

Sounds like you had a real marine MOS. Did you use a 60 cal. that is fired from a ground based tripod?
You were smart to sign up for the reserve.
Did you have any memorable experiences or get called up full time?
For me, the worst part of boot camp was going into the gas chamber.
It was the only time, I felt like I might die in there .
When I finally came out, I kept my hands down grabbing the seam of my green cammo khakis.
I sounded off as best I could with ; " The recruit is fine, Sir."
I went in for a full 4 years plus 2 yrs reserve.
I could have stayed with my contract MOS of combat engineer, but I took the finance option (MOS 3421) when it was offered.
WTF, at least I shot sharp shooter ( 218) and didn't wear a "toilet seat" rifle badge.
Plus, I completed NCO school and did that 4 mos guarding the ASP "ammo dump".
I got a "meritorious mast" from a full Col, for helping dig out some civil service workers
This rickety old building collapsed on them at Okinawa Japan (3rd Marines base)
Other then that stuff, I was 'hell on wheels' getting my fellow jarheads paid correctly LOL ;D
I remember this one recruit acted crazy and was hauled out during forming ( 3rd day on PI).
I swear , he tried to attack the forming DI with his web belt and charged him head first with his chrome dome LOL :D.
I remember him yelling ; " Korean warfare" .
Crazy boy was quickly pushed down, controlled , eventually cuffed and hauled off by the MP's. :D

M60 machine gun, 50 cal, and Mark 19. Did you like the reserves better or worse than active duty?

M60 machine gun, 50 cal, and Mark 19. Did you like the reserves better or worse than active duty?
Sounds like you fired some real bad ass rifles!
Hard to say which was better/worse.
On active duty, I had a stable pay check and routine, etc.
Plus, I really liked being identified as marine and the basic "esprit de corps" bonding in the corps.
Ya know, everyone is in the same marine boat and pulls together , etc.
Being active duty felt more like a life style then a job.
Like you I was a college student during most of my time in the reserves .
My 1st reserve unit was an armored ( tank/infantry) Bn. I enjoyed doing that and felt like a real marine.
However, after a couple months I was suddenly transferred to an air wing reserve unit.
It was a bit more distance , so I got extra per-diam, but worked doing admin and cpu stuff.
In all modesty, my ASVAB score was in the top 1%, so I ended up being "volunteered " to do "office work, cpu data* entry" etc
35-40 years ago, the USMC was transferring personnel data to a DOD computer based system.
I was part of a group that was trained in Kansas City on basic DOS to input data and write basic programs to assist.
I'd like to brag and say it was some top secret, high speed stuff, but it was pretty tedious and mundane.
To fully answer your question, I found it awkward going back and forth between college life and working as a part time marine.
I almost joined the US Coast Guard, the spring ( April 2002) after 9/11.
I was running in this big 10k race in New Orleans and they have a mega fitness expo.
The Coast Guard reserve was recruiting and using my prior service time , I was under the age to get a commission .
I was pumped to be an XO ( exec officer) on a Coast Guard rapid deployment gun boat. 8)
But, since I already had plans to move to N. Ga , I opted out and always had some regret.
I worked out in the same (La) gym with another ex-marine who had become an active duty coast guard officer in the 90's.
I enjoyed hearing about his work and thought it sounded like a great career .
Alas, I never followed thru and ended up staying with a decent career of teaching physics. I recently retired after 30 years of it.

I also had a high ASVAB score (as I'm sure all Getbiggers would ;D) but only had one choice of MOS because I was reserve and there were only infantry units available. I spent 6 months doing active duty assignments on a special program that allowed us to do that and did feel more like a Marine than when I was doing the weekend warrior routine. I seriously considered going to OCS after college and becoming either a Marine or Naval officer but just didn't like the lack of freedom that comes with a government job.

LOL ;D " I'm sure all getbiggers would have a high ASVAB score. Good zinger!
Sounds like you had some real marine experiences! 100% serious .
Things look good until you get into the day to day life style details.
I trust you made out fine with your final career path?

Yes, I made out well. If you stayed in 20 years you could have long since retired. Have you ever regretted that? Having an office job wouldn't have beat you up physically unless of course you got stuck in a combat unit which happens to a lot of Marines regardless of MOS. There is no way I would try 20-30 years in infantry as it will destroy your body. Most of those lifers have bad backs, bad knees, if they aren't dead from combat.

I retired from teaching physics after 30 years and got a pension , health Ins , etc
My dad was in WWII on board the USN Coral Sea as Gunners Mate and was also in Korea.
He served 8 years active duty and then worked 28 more civil service years on a nuclear sub base as a structural engineer .
He went to school on the old GI bill after Korea. My grandpa ( his dad) also worked on that sub base and was in WWI at age 18.
Grandpa was a naval welder and retired as a supervisor in charge of sub hull integrity during his yrs in civil service work
Amazing how my dad and grandpa had a real influence on the careers of my sis and I .
Ya know I taught physics and my sister was an MD, but her specialty was RADIATION therapy/treatments on cancer tumors.
Crazy how "the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree" 'eh. :D
PS/ I know you'll vote Trump and I'll vote Biden, but I sincerely respect guys like you as my fellow Americans .
Stay safe and healthy.
