WASHINGTON Sen. John Kerry says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has agreed to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about an independent report on the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya.

In a letter Friday to the panel's members, Kerry indicated that the report from the accountability review board headed by retired diplomat Thomas Pickering is imminent. The Massachusetts Democrat and committee chairman says he's asked that Pickering and retired Adm. Mike Mullen appear before the committee before Clinton. Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is a member of the review board.

COUCOU,
These testimonies make no sense when we know that such incident is unpredictable, in all cases the reason for the neglect is discarded.
"au revoir"

Maybe Clinton will explain her incompetence and the reason why her folks denied repeated request for more security for our brave Ambassador who was killed in Libya. We have 25 thousand private security folks in Iraq, maybe she could have sent a few 100 to Libya, then again she could have provided our Ambassador with a safe place to stay. The incompetence of this administration is incredible.

Don't understand the analogy to 911, did President Bush tell the American people the attacks on 911 were a protest and reaction to a movie? Or did President Bush actually tell the truth about what happened on 911?

Just like things piling up on a pilot in bad weather with an engine failues with ice building , so is the situation as Syria & Egypt , Gaza , Libya , Yemen , and a host of others flex there elbows while they reach for power under the steam of terror actions .

Africa is awash with unrest as is the Mid East , Asia , and soon to be Europe if one considers Turkey as a part of Europe .

Terror is on the move and al qaeda that Pres Obama said was decimated is now aleast 20 times larger than when Pres Obama took Office . Iran and al qaeda have a working agreement to influence .

Try reading the news Folks not filtered by the left wing influence of America , and the unrest in this world will bring the failed foreign policy to the light of clear facts .

Iraq is now a situation that is not just in question , but the Iranian influence is becoming such that even Jordan is not free of the influence as Iraq is the coridor for Iranian supplies to Irans influence in Syria and others of smaller groups .

Benghazi statements will be more than interesting .
