Some of them must have thought this was a great chance to do preemptive damage to the most popular choice for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. Instead, she made them look like the clumsy bad guys in an political drama.</p><p>The 's own independent investigative board has already answered most of the serious questions about the Benghazi tragedy in which four Americans were killed, including U,ghd straighteners.S. Ambassador </a>. The panel cited the failures of mid-level officials and suggested 29 ways to improve the system,louboutin shoes. Clinton said implementation of those steps was already 85% complete.</p> <p>A productive hearing would have concentrated on what else can be done to prevent similar tragedies in the future -- a discussion that would have also included examining why not only consistently underfunds the State Department,louboutin shoes, but has blocked expenditure of money that has already been appropriated to shore up American diplomatic efforts in several international trouble spots.</p><p>Instead, too many of the Republican committee members had been coached to dredge up old questions about the U.S,cheap christian louboutin. ambassador to the , ,christian louboutin. Last September, on the weekend following the attack, Rice went on the Sunday TV news shows and underplayed the terrorist connection, instead suggesting that the incident may have been connected with riots in other Muslim countries that were set off by an online preview of a never-made movie defaming the prophet Muhammad. Questions about why Rice said what she said have been answered repeatedly: She was parroting talking points provided by U,cheap ghd straighteners.S. intelligence services.</p><p>A useful line of questions would have followed up on that answer,ghd hair straighteners. An L.A.

Whether the client at the top is the U,ghd hair straighteners.N. ambassador, the director of Central Intelligence or the president, bureaucracies consistently massage and filter information before passing it up the chain."</p><p>But the Republicans did not want to explore the tendency for bad information to emerge from the intelligence bureaucracy, they wanted to resurrect a specious political attack that got them nowhere in the final days of the presidential campaign. In their wild imaginings, Rice's ill-informed comments were not just the result of bad information,ghd sale, they were part of an Obama administration effort to dupe the American people.</p><p>Clinton easily slapped back this and other equally off-the-wall lines of inquiry. Unlike most of her inquisitors who seemed to be working from talking points, Clinton was working from fact-based briefings. With their cranky theatrics, Kentucky’s freshman Sen. and Wisconsin Sen. proved to be perfect foils for Clinton’s virtuoso performance,christian louboutin uk.</p><p>At the end of the day, Clinton left the stage looking stronger than ever. The only people who may feel worse about that than the Republicans are the ambitious Democrats who are contemplating a run for the Democratic presidential nomination next time around.
