Peter rosk um is continuing the continuing questioning to hilliary clinton about the benghazi attack. I think your interest waned. And i think your attention waned. And i think the emails that mrs. Brooks put forth, you had an answer, and it was look, i got a lot of information from a lot of different places, but i think you basically gave a victory lap, sort of a Mission Accomplished quote on october 30th, 2011, in the washington post. This is what you said. And this is very declarative. We set into motion a policy that was on the right side of history, on the right side of our values, on the right side of our Strategic Interests in the region. It has all of the feel of a victory lap. But there was a problem, and the problem, madam secretary, was there were storm clouds there were gathering, and the storm clouds gathering was a deteriorating security situation in benghazi. And you had a lot to lose if benghazi unraveled. If libya unraveled, you had a lot to lose. Based on the victory
Posture that was inadequate for benghazi this is from the most recent one. I want to know if you agree with this. Inadequate for benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place. Do you agree with the statement from the current arb . I accepted the recommendations of the current arb. My question is if you agree with it. I dont think thats a relevant question, congressman. I think the question is, i accepted their recommendations, and obviously their recommendations were based on their very thorough investigation and analysis. So, clearly i endorsed the entire boards work. In january 2014 senator feinstein noted conservative said, quote, in her report, the incidents at the tmf and cia were likely preventable end of quote. Do you agree with that statement from senator feinsteins report . Well, i would like to think that anything of that magnitude and the loss of life could have in some way been preventable. I think that what the arb recommended were steps to try to
Positive, because we couldnt have your baby fail. Same day you have jay carney saying this was no way a preplanned attack and the experts in libya talking saying it was a wellplanned attack, that same day the talking point that gets susan rice getting ready for the sunday shows. Make sure you focus on the video not about a broader policy failure. After all we have an election coming in 50some days. Well, congressman, i believe to this day the video played a role but your experts didnt. There were many experts, if you looked you probably havent had an opportunity to read the excellent report issued by the democrats. But on september 13th, the Intelligence Committee issued its first thorough assessment on what happened in benghazi. It says we assess the attacks on the u. S. Consulate and the attacks in benghazi began spontaneously. There was no contradiction. The protests, because there was a video is there a contradiction right here there is no contradiction. How about this contradictio
Lost before they won and they never give up. , it you tell a public really wasnt working, because if it did, you wouldnt give up. You wouldnt walk away. You would be telling your daughter, dont do drugs. And then for some reason, he you say you say it is ok. You wouldnt do that. If you do, that is not the right thing. Now we need to get you to do the right thing. Ofhave to have the certainty what we know to be successful in america to continue to fight for those things. That is why the Republican Party and establishment has gotten away from what we know works. We need to get back to that.

And yes, the Intelligence Community assessment served as the basis for what ambassador rice said when she appeared on the sunday show. And on september 18th, when the video footage arrived from the security cameras the deputy cia director has testified it was not until september 18th, when the cia received the libyan governments assessment of video footage that showed the front of the facility with no sign of protesters that it became clear we needed to revisit our analysis. And then, after they looked at the video footage and fbi reporting from interviews of personnel on the ground in benghazi during the attacks the cia changed its assessment. And that was explained thoroughly in the bipartisan report issued by the House Permanent Select Committee on intelligence which did a very thorough job, congressman. Gentleman yields back, well take a quick break for ten minutes, ten seconds i just wanted to point out that the Ranking Member is actually incorrect. The august 17th memo that i ref
