I got that number from Hillary's testimony yesterday; Perhaps she said we have two hundred and sixty embassies in total. But that's my point - Is the Secretary of State in charge of security for all of the embassies? And if your answer is yes, do you really think the Secretary of State of visited all 300 embassies, and sat through countless meetings coordinating the CIA, US Military, State Department, and Congress? Really?
Why aren't we holding Congress responsible for failing to give Secretary of State Clinton the budget she asked for?
The President is in charge of the Federal Aviation Administration; Why didn't we blame 9/11 on President Bush? Did we have eight investigations into the failure of the head of the FAA to determine if they were at fault? Did anyone get fired over that?
We had a terrorist attack in a country at an Embassy where there was little security and only four Americans died and we want heads to roll, yet with 9/11 three thousand Americans died and no one from the CIA, the military, the FAA, or the TSA was questioned in public hearings no less did anyone loose their job.
This was a terrorist attack on an embassy. NOTHING would have prevented this.
