Guys, if I was more quiet in the forum recently, it was partly due to watching and reading about Hillary Clinton testimony in Benghazi committee. I hope that this committee would finally dissolve.
Hillary did a great job, she was cool and collected and people should watch it just to learn how to deal with the situation like that. The committee members were often disrespectful, not-prepared, their questions showed not knowing of the procedures how to deal in the situation of the danger in foreign diplomatic complex - for instance asking why .... the ambassador did not have Hillary's private phone number or address.....
their is a chain of command, their is a procedure, safety emergency people.
here is one of the articles, which I found very interesting:

The GOP May Have Just Handed Hillary Clinton The White House
Yesterday, Hillary Clinton endured 11 hours of the Republicans' Benghazi hearing circus. (I sent her $11 last night -- one dollar for every hour.)
I use the word "endured" because that's what women do best. We smile, we nod, we seethe inside. We have to if we want to keep our jobs, or get a better one. Or if we want men to like us, we dare not rail outwardly at the subtle insults we so frequently endure. It might hurt their feelings.
We make sacrifices. We work through the pain. It's always expected of us.
Why can't Hillary Clinton be "authentic"? Because she's a woman -- and worse, a woman in politics. Can you imagine Bernie Sanders putting up with that nuts yesterday? Hell, no. He probably would have pounded the table, told the committee members to shove it up their collective ass, and stomped out of the hearing room. Even the journalists would have cheered.
But Clinton doesn't have those options. In order for a woman to become president, she has to be a robot. She can't show emotions. She has to smile when they badger her, she has to listen thoughtfully as they spout lies and insinuations.
She has to think like a hostage.
And don't think she wasn't a hostage. She wasn't free to leave. She had to jump through those hoops, and she had to do it perfectly, with patience and without a hint of resentment.
She should get the Oscar.
I was in awe of her performance. I wasn't the only one. Last night, I saw hundreds of pissed-off women on Twitter who praised her ability to endure -- and sent money. I saw dozens of women voters who said, "I was leaning toward Bernie, but anyone who can endure what she just did has my vote." Even Republican women took to Twitter to express their outrage over the committee's treatment of Clinton.
This isn't how it works, Reince. This isn't how you get women to support your candidate, by bullying Clinton as if she's a criminal defendant.
There's still much that can happen between now and next November. But I'm pretty sure the Republican thugs just propelled Hillary Clinton into the White House. As Markos put it last night:
Hillary was "meh" with significant portion of the activist left. Thanks GOP, for helping change that!
