You let the consulate become a death trap, and that is national security malpractice.

I believe that part of the priority is telling correct information.

And indeed, I worked on such issues as a JAG [Judge Advocate General] officer in the South Carolina Army National Guard.

Now, what do we think or what do you think is a higher priority and a better use of taxpayers' money, national security or global climate change?

I am particularly grateful to General Rice that you were ahead of the curve.

Do you find it acceptable that the State officials responsible for this lack of leadership and mismanagement, and for ignoring security requests during the Benghazi attack and before, remain employed within the State Department?

Thank you for being here today. It is really uplifting to me, General Welsh, as you were quoting Air Force Secretary Michael Donley, he indicated that the Air Force is a family.

And I believe that part of the priority is telling correct information. And you could have done that, and I think it was very unfortunate--the multiple appearances by Ambassador Rice with information that has been discovered not to be…

These failures highlighted by the ARB report serve as a blueprint for terrorists on where our weaknesses lie, where we are vulnerable.

Madam Secretary, you let the consulate become a death trap, and that is national security malpractice.

Our job as enlisted leaders is to find the standard and make everyone absolutely understand that we have no problem removing anybody in a blink of an eye if they cross that standard.

This was a policy choice on the part of the administration.

With the negotiations surrounding the fiscal cliff, the administration is ignoring sequestration. This important issue must be addressed which devastates national security and destroys 700,000 jobs. In addition, I am grateful for the…

I do want to express again my deepest sympathy to the heroic Americans that were killed at Benghazi.

And it concerns me, too, there is a foreign emergency support team, a FEST team, but yet it was not requested, it was not provided. That just is really just tragic to me.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And, Madam Chairwoman, I want to thank you for your extraordinary leadership.

These truly heroic Americans lost their lives in Benghazi to a terrorist attack, but their dedicated service will always be remembered by the American people.

Well, I would certainly hope that, and I want to thank you for what you are doing, but my goodness, I appreciate Foreign Service Officers, your courage of service, but we want the best security possible.
