Elected officials rarely have the knowledge to make informed recommendations on complex things such as international security. The review panel was composed of professionals. Let professionals ge the job done and get out of the way and stop trying to make this a political thing.

The cover-up continues...Hillary's fake concussion and excuse not to testify is the latest roadblock from getting at the real truth. After all, her presidential candidacy is at stake, which of course transcends the total incompetence that she displayed in this sorry mess.

The GOP is trying to make a scandal where none exists. They are frustrated because Obama has run a scandal-free administration. They never looked into the ten attacks on embassies and consulates that killed over 50 under Bush. Why now? We all know the answer. Partisan politics.

The explaination doesn't satisy americans, the majority of them. Dishonesty at this level cannot simply be ignored that the Democratic Party wants it to be. Evil seems to reign today in the US.

The explaination doesn't satisy americans, the majority of them---so now we care about what the majority wants? Tell that to the house GOPrs. It is hard to keep up with you guys. First polls don't matter then they do. Which is it?

The GOP won't be satisfied unless they can make this the scandal of the century. They're so hungry for any relevance whatsoever that all they can do is witch-hunt something/anything at all. This commission's report clearly unearthed horrific administrative bungling, but this in no way is a "cover-up" nor does it impugn the president (who was not aware of the problems). Virtually every right wing lie about this incident has now been roundly dispelled and disproved but the GOP just can't let go of it.

"The cover-up continues...Hillary's fake concussion and excuse not to testify is the latest roadblock from getting at the real truth.

Secondly, it's simply outrageous that you righties accuse this hard-working patriotic woman of faking a concussion. Outrageous!! She has more guts and forthrightness in her little finger than her attackers do in their whole body and has NEVER shied away from conflict. Her virus, dehydration and concussion are real. How dare you make up this crap?! I guess hatred on the right knows no bounds and will continue to find avenues for expression anywhere it can.
