The State Department says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who skipped an overseas trip this past week because of a stomach virus, sustained a concussion after fainting.

Congressional aides do not expect her to testify as scheduled at congressional hearings on Thursday into the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.


My Way News - Secretary of state faints, sustains concussion
 
she better hurry up and get better so I can vote for her in 2016.
 
So...instead of giving Bill head, she gives it to the floor. :lol:
 
I don't know why but every time i hear concussion i think of Roger Goodell and his pussification of the NFL.
 
I hope that she gets well soon, but she still needs to testify when she does get well.

There is a faintly offensive odor floating up from this paragraph. It's now been more than 3 months since the attack and I still haven't heard why:

1) Before the attack, why were requests for increased security ignored?
2) During the attack, did Obama really give orders to relieve the consulate and, if so, who failed to carry out those orders?
3) After the attack, who gave Susan Rice those ridiculous talking points for the Sunday morning shows?
 
I used to have much respect for Mrs. Clinton and would have voted for her, but her dodging having to testify indicates that something is gravely wrong and there is probably some truth that her and Obama do not want known regarding Lybia.

4) and why on earth was Susan Rice blamed for the talking points she was obviously given by higher ups as if she gave them to herself as the 'grown ups' of the Republican Party cause me to lose almost all hope there is anything I can place trust in within the GOP who for some reason knowingly singled out someone they knew full well was innocent and just wanted to limit her career potential.
 
First Rice withdraws as Sec. of State...now this.

Lets not leave out that whole Petreaus dustup/scandal/resignation. Which occurred about 5 minutes after Obama got re-elected.

Could just a bizarre series of incredible coincidences. But that whole Benghazi event (and associated unanswered questions) is just a real "head scratcher".....

Because she admitted she it what all she said wasn't true!

Senators McCain, Graham and Ayotte have wrapped up their meeting with UN Ambassador Susan Rice about her role in presenting false information about what happened to Benghazi to the American people. She said on five Sunday talk shows the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi on 9/11 was the result of a spontaneous protest that got out of control. Today she admitted that wasn't true, opening a whole other door for questions about why false talking points were used in the first place.

"I'm more troubled today...because it is certainly clear from the beginning that we knew those with ties to al Qaeda were involved in the attack on the embassy." -Senator Kelly Ayotte

"It is clear the information she gave the American people was incorrect." -Senator John McCain

"Bottom line is, I'm more disturbed now than I was before." -Senator Lindsey Graham.....snip~

GOP Leaders "Significantly Troubled" After Meeting With Susan Rice - Katie Pavlich

GOP Leaders "Significantly Troubled" After Meeting With Susan Rice - Katie Pavlich

Following a meeting with United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, Republican Sen. Susan Collins said that Sen. John Kerry, should he be nominated as secretary of state, would be much more easily confirmed than Rice, saying that there are “many questions that remain unanswered” about Rice’s response to the attacks in Benghazi.

Stepping out of a 75-minute meeting with Rice, Collins told reporters that, in particular, she was “troubled by the fact that the U.N. ambassador decided to play what was essentially a political role at the height of a contentious presidential election campaign by agreeing to go on the Sunday shows to present the administration’s position.

Collins said she was “also very troubled” by the similarities she saw between the Sept. 11, 2012, attack and the 1998 bombings of U.S. Embassies in Africa, since, at the time, Rice was Assistant Secretary for African Affairs at the State Department

U were sayin something bout the GOP doing what now? :rolleyes:

If that evil woman becomes president, this country will go into the can. I mean, her husband got a BJ from an ugly secretary and she stayed with him. Obviously a she is political minded. Even more a politician than her husband. He could have picked at least a very attractive secretary to play around with. That in itself should tell you what kind of woman Hillary is.

She was never nominated so she cannot withdraw.
Obama's Benghazi Massacre and the Abandoned Four will bring down everyone but Obama. And he is the one who needs to be involuntarily retired.

Are you implying that you want a woman who is so stupid or so gullible that she could not figure out that she was sent out to lie, as the Secretary of State?

I want to know why president Obama hates black women.

Hillary isn't evil. (Strong minded, good political skills. Although i disagree with her often.)

Monica isn't ugly. (She ain't a superstar, but i would of hit it...)

She is very evil. She is has to be liberal minded, yet she let her husband get it on with another woman. Obviously, she is only married for the political advantages it brings to being married to a former president.

Monica isn't ugly. (She ain't a superstar, but i would of hit it...)

Eww... I can pick up women much more attractive than her, and I'm just a lowly NCO in the military. He is the president of the most powerful country in the world, and that is the best he can do? If your going to get caught doing something like that, you might as well do it right!

With the very limited information that has come out about this I don't know how you could possibly make this statement. "Knew full well was innocent"? I have no idea if she is innocent or not. She very well may be but until the full details are disclosed how could anyone possibly know for sure? It seems just as likely at this point that the Republicans have a legitimate reason to believe that her involvement was more than just "the messenger" and that is why they opposed her nomination.

I'm taking a "wait and see" approach. Stall tactics can only work for so long and I look forward to Mrs. Clinton's testimony.
 
Being scheduled to testify on Benghazi seems to carry with it a hex of some sort......

Here's the problem with this particular conspiracy theory, it makes no sense. If there is some sort of vast cover up, discrediting a general, and staging an injury for Hilary, then somebody must be going to great lengths to cover something up, and the people scheduled to testify must be going along with it. But if somebody is going to go to enormous lengths to cover something up, since this whole theory presumes their complicity, wouldn't it be easier just get Petraeus and Hilary to lie at the hearing??

It's so ridiculous it's barely worth talking about.

What's next on the agenda? Hold a committee to investigate Hillary's illness.

Giddy-Up! Giddy-Up! You have a few more miles in you. :beatdeadhorse
