Sure, it would be nice.

Do I detect a note of hopelessness?



So long as this country is ruled by corporationists, we're not going to
get anywhere.


It has *always* been run by corporationists. It's what made the USA
number one in the world for a very long time.

And Hilliary Clinton is a proven liar and she has blood on her hands over her refusal to increase security in Benghazi.

Eight Congressional hearings, including mostly adversarial,
prosecutorial ones, such as the one in which Mrs. Clinton just
testified, brought forth no evidence of that, but, hey, when you live in
the right-wing bubble, facts don't matter, eh?

"There are disagreements about whether State acted reasonably, but that it didn't honor requests for additional security is established fact," said Georgetown University adjunct assistant professor Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, who is also a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which focuses on foreign policy and national security.

The State Department has acknowledged it rejected requests to provide more security personnel in Libya. It also acknowledged rejecting a request to erect guard towers at the Benghazi mission, but notes that a number of physical security upgrades, such as the installation of concrete barriers to block unused gates, were made during 2012.

The State Department's own Accountability Review Board concluded that the number of diplomatic security staff in Benghazi in the months leading up to the attacks was inadequate "despite repeated requests" from the Benghazi mission and the embassy in Tripoli for additional staffing.

The Benghazi facility had been projected to have five security agents and there had been multiple requests that five be placed there. But in the nine months before the attacks, the facility had a full complement of five agents on only 23 days.

After the State Department's security staff in Washington rejected the repeated requests, the post became resigned to not having the full complement of five agents and stopped making the requests, the review board found.

A bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee also found that the State Department headquarters did not grant Stevens' requests for more security personnel.
