Hicks will appear before a public congressional hearing on Benghazi this Wednesday.

... barring an unfortunate "accident" of course.

“he got a phone call from SOCAFRICA which said, you can’t go now, you don’t have authority to go now,”

Why would such an order be given? I mean really, if it was suspected American live could be in ANY danger why not err on the side of safety?

Because Obama had the whole thing STAGED.

Stevens was supposed to be taken hostage and swapped with the Blind Sheik.

If the House does not impeach Obama for Benghazi.....then they are just as much culpable.

Let the Senate record their votes of support on Obama if they will not convict

Of course...like on the Eligibility issue....I am sure we will have a lot of RINO PhonyCon Obama Supporters that will attack anyone impeaching Obama

These stories all follow a similar pattern:

People were in the process of doing exactly as they were trained and were stopped cold by someone from above.

Everyone was responding to a legitimate incident just as they were supposed to only to be hamstrung by some unknown superior.

Someone wanted to make certain that no US forces would arrive in Benghazi in time to ‘see anything.’
People like Clinton and Panetta say that weren’t sure what was happening.
But there was one thing that was made absolutely clear: Do nothing.

Old story. They relieved the General in Command.

We all read about that-—then Obama lied about it.

The only one with the authority to send military forced into a sovereign country under those circumstances is the Commander in Chief, who was too busy getting ready for a morning flight to an important fund raiser in Las Vegas.

I guess he must have put up a "Do Not Disturb" sign on his door and phone, since Panetta and Clinton, who were watching this in real time, (they claim) didn't bother informing Obama of the details of the terrorist attack and murder of our people in Libya.

Why do you even ask such a question.

The order was given because Obama’s balls shrank into his belly as soon as he heard what was happening.

I believe it is even worse. There are persistent rumors that a composite team of operators was ON THE PLANE with engines spun up waiting for clearance and told to stand down.

What was the Democrat’s motivation? Why do nothing? They were:

Confused
Angry
Scared
Greedy
Worried
Righteous
Hesitant
Confident?

There’s always a reason why somebody takes a particular course of action, and doing nothing is a course of action. There was a motive for doing nothing. What’s the motive?
