1. Months before the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, the U.S. State Department had at least three detailed intelligence reports warning of al-Qaida's build-up in Benghazi and quoting a militant leader who vowed to kill the U.S. ambassador, according to a new book chronicling the heroism of Navy SEALs. http://www.wnd.com/2014/03/benghazi-bombshell-al-qaida-vowed-to-kill-ambassador/


2. In the year prior to the deadly 2012 Benghazi attack, Hillary Clinton used her private email server to correspond about such highly sensitive national security matters as specific threats to the Libya hotel where Ambassador Chris Stevens was staying as well as his decision to remain at the hotel despite the threats.

The emails, released May 22 by the State Department, also contained the exact movements of Stevens while he was stationed in arguably one of the most dangerous zones in the world for any American diplomat, a WND review has found. http://www.wnd.com/2015/05/hillary-tipped-murdered-ambassadors-movements-in-emails/


3. Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt"stated that the decision not to staff Benghazi with Marines was made by Secretary of State Clinton when she attached her signature to the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya document. Breitbart News has subsequently learned that under those rules of engagement, Secretary Clinton prohibited Marines from providing security at any American diplomatic installation in Libya". Colonel Hunt also said, "The American mission at Benghazi was like a cardboard building, there wasn't even bullet proof glass. " In addition, Hunt said the security guards inside the mission didn't have bullets. http://www.barenakedislam.com/2012/09/15/did-hillary-clinton-kill-ambassador-christopher-stevens/

4. Greg Hicks, the State Department's lead diplomat in Tripoli that night, said he repeatedly asked for military help, but was denied. The administration insisted no assets were stopped; but no military help was available.

But the leader of a U.S. quick response anti-terrorism team said his unit was stopped after they prepared to deploy; a small U.S. special forces team in Tripoli was stopped from boarding a flight to Benghazi to help while the attacks were underway; and three U.S. security officers stationed nearby said their CIA boss delayed them from responding quickly to help. http://www.wnd.com/2015/10/lanny-davis-no-stand-down-order-at-benghazi/


The implication of these right wing blogs is that Hillary was either very stupid about security, or else actively colluded with the attacks, perhaps in order to justify a military intervention in Libya. Either one would disqualify her for president.

As many have pointed out, she IS experienced, but her record shows poor judgment and decision -- making. She might spare herself and the American people a lot of agony if she withdrew from the presidential race now.
