Letter to Wall Street Journal

Kim, have you ever had an eleven hour job interview against a panel of mostly hostile evaluators? Read this carefully and you'll get to the point -eventually.
If you know what the Fog of War is, it's the state of confusion in the midst of battle. The Benghazi attack lasted one hour and by the time the word got to Washington it was about over and there was no hope of reinforcements ever getting there on time to accomplish anything. In the confusion that followed we could only guess who was responsible.  That explains the conflicting statements that came afterwards. It was NOT a cover up. Anyone who has compared eye witness accounts of an event knows that. The questioning  confirmed that. Mrs. Clinton was not responsible for the security at the consulate. Remember: it was the GOP congress that cut the security budget for the State Department by millions of dollars.
-- That Mrs.Clinton has not reminded the public of that fact is an act of charity, for it is the responsibility of the Republican congress that there was inadequate money for the protection of those four men. We'we talking about four casualties, not the thousands who have died because Bush sent our troops to war in Iraq.
The Wall Street Journal, while it has swell international coverage, is a disappointment for it NEVER has anything good to say about our twice elected president or Mrs.Clinton, one of the most indefatigable secretaries of state we have ever had.What you seem to have missed in your sniping at Mrs.Clinton is that the attempt to discredit her by the GOP members of the panel is that she was in reality having a job interview. She proved by her unflinching and knowledgeable demonsrtration of her talent and intelligence that she will make a great president. No one else knows as much as she does. She knows all heads of state. As First Lady she has eight years of White House experience. She is much smarter and composed than her husband. She will make a great president. Her performance for eleven gruelling hours that would reduce most witnesses to blubbering blobs proves she she knows her stuff more than any Republican wannabe candidate for the job. The GOP shot themselves in the ass by giving her this opportunity to show them all up for what they are: a bunch of nitpicking desperate man without qualifications of their own to match her experience and talent.
