      <title>Benghazi Consulate Attack</title>
      <description>Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Martin Dempsey testified on the September 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Secretary Panetta in his opening statement said that the speed of the attack prevented U.S. armed forces from responding quickly enough to save those killed in the attack, and that time, distance, and lack of warning hindered the response. Republican members reiterated prior criticisms of the Obama administration, among them that administration officials ignored previous warnings from U.S. officials in Libya. Secretary Panetta talked about the issue of sequestration, and the damaging impact military budget cuts would have on readiness. They also answered questions on recommendations from the U.S. State Department and CIA to arm Syrian rebels, which were ultimately rejected by President Obama.</description>

      <title>Senate Hearing on Benghazi Consulate Attack</title>
      <description>Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified on the September 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. During her testimony, she choked up as she spoke of comforting the victims' families and grew angry at accusations that the Obama administration misled the country over whether the Benghazi incident stemmed from a protest. She also depicted the incident as part of a long history of such violence, and the result of regional instability since the "Arab Spring" of popular revolutions that began in 2011.</description>
