Clinton Pins Hopes On Internal Review To Answer Mounting Questions On What Went Wrong In Libya -- FOX News
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded to mounting questions Wednesday about what went wrong in Libya and who's responsible by asking for more time to complete an internal review, saying, "nobody will hold this department more accountable than we hold ourselves."
The secretary vowed to get to the bottom of the terror attack that killed four Americans last month in response to a letter by Reps.

My Comment: So the U.S. State Department is reviewing and investigating itself .... leaving out Congress who are the ones who are constitutionally responsible for oversight. Add insult to injury .... the FBI is still not at the US consulate in Benghazi to conduct an investigation .... so how can the US State Department determine what went wrong in Libya when they are not even there?
While some are of the belief that there are darker motives involved .... I am holding the opinion that what we are actually witnessing is classic CYA (cover your ass) behavior. The goal now is to delay everything until after the US Presidential election .... and then make some token changes and admissions that some serious mistakes that were made.
Update: Predictably, the U.S. Congress is losing patience.
