"Had I been president at the time" and known that Clinton had not read cables from Libya asking for more security, "I would have relieved you of your post," Paul said. "I think it's inexcusable." Paul has said he is interested in running for president in 2016.
The senator added that as she leaves office, Clinton deserves "culpability in the worst tragedy since 9/11." The secretary of state has long planned to serve only one term.
Paul went on to ask if the United States is shipping weapons from Libya to Turkey. Some news outlets have suggested that arms are going from Libya to Syrian rebels through Turkey with American knowledge. "I will have to take that question for the record. No one's ever raised that with me," she responded.
