Extradition??? What crime do you think she is charge with?

Steve, the Extradition was a joke. Play on words. The comments of Clinton having no accountability are laughable also.
Is it unclear to anyone that the administration got it wrong, that they've acknowledged that there was an intelligence failure, and that they're investigating the event now? Should the Secretary of State be conducting the investigation personally?

I don't get the brouhaha over this, except as a campaign tactic. Four Americans died in a terrorist attack that might or might not have been thwarted by the presence of a USMC security detachment. A terrible incident? Yes. Worthy of investigation and correction (including firings, if it's clear there was misconduct)? Yes. A catastrophe that merits stopping America's foreign policy in its tracks, because continuing without resolution is too dangerous to allow? Hardly.

I imagine that the looney right wants Clinton to be grilled in testimony, censured by the senate then cuffed and frogmarched out of court and into a prison cell. Is that about it Sam?

Clinton should not get on with doing her job but instead hang about in DC waiting to participate in the Republican political theatre?

Seriously. Libya did not want armed American forces nor did the embassy. The negatives outweighed the positives. Two more embassy guards, which is what was requested, would not have prevented what happened. All this bruhaha is political theatre.
