I am particularly troubled by the extent to which the attire debate and the State Department's clutching of pearls may have been influenced by the fact that if they went in uniform, the perception would be that it was a real military intervention that would indicate that the Middle East was not the sunshine and rainbows the administration wished to convey, given the proximity to the election. It wasn't an issue of the safety of the Marines.

Get over yourself. I'm sure there were a number of reasons why civilian clothing vs. fatigues was an issue, some of which rise to the level of how the country and the world classifies the incursion. And those are issues her department is responsible for addressing.
Secondly, from your answer, I'm not convinced Hillary was involved beyond (possibly) hearing the issue and you sure don't seem like you can assert that she was involved in a 4 hour debate about it and sending conflicting orders as if she was changing her mind over and over. And that's what you implied.
