House panel to hold hearing on Libya attack with top Obama intelligence advisers
FoxNews.com ^ | Nov. 7, 2012

Posted on 11/07/2012 10:19:56 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

A House committee is planning to hold a hearing next week on the Libya consulate attack, following up on an issue that Republicans had emphasized before the presidential election in questioning President Obama's foreign policy record.

Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the consulate in Benghazi. A local Libyan extremist group is suspected of carrying out the attack, but the Obama administration has been criticized for its confusing explanation for the strike and for security warnings that apparently weren't heeded.

The House Intelligence Committee will hold its hearing on the attack on Nov. 15, Fox News has learned. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA Director David Petraeus and Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, are expected to testify.

The Senate Intelligence Committee plans to meet the same day to discuss the Libya attack, but that hearing will be closed to the public.

Stonewall and coverup, just like ‘fast and furious’.

Obama would never be impeached, even if he murdered a man on TV.

The American Public does not tolerate a coward. If it comes out that Obama had actual knowledge of the requests for help from the victims at the time of the attack and that he did NOTHING to try and help them - then he is in deep shit.

At least half [if not more] of the country will believe he allowed them to be murdered - and that he is as culpable as the perps, by doing NOTHING.

If he had tried to help them, but was unsuccessful, that would be one thing. But, to have the ability to try - and then do NOTHING is unforgiveable.

He beat the Republicans-he is untouchable.

Nothing will come of any scandal or anything from the last 4 years. The media will do cover and his re-election is the mandate for four more years and everything is just sour grapes.
Republicans will now start to grovel for scraps at the table.
The American Public will tolerate and in fact celebrate as the one displays his corrupt nature openly.
He will lead the way in doing and saying things to agitate his supporters against the opposition.
Many in this land would love to beat and loot those who would stand for righteousness.
It’s a spiritual battle and America is not up for the task.
Christians and some conservatives will be scapegoated and persecuted in ways will would not have thought possible very shortly.
I attended until quite recently one of the most conservative seminaries in the country and I can tell you half the students probably voted for the one.
Tolerance-diversity and deception and lies are to be embraced and celebrated.
The unrighteous haters (like me) will be dealt with.
Now we are going to begin to see some real separation take place...

“The American Public does not tolerate a coward.”

The American Public ARE cowards. They just voted ALL of us out of a country because they hid behind women’s skirts, their race, and their ethnicity as an excuse to avenge perceived wrongs. This is the revenge of Colonial Africans, muslim slave traders, and Santa Ana.

They need to get witness accounts from the 30 who escaped from the compound

Exactamundo!

I have asked repeatedly what happened to these (reported) 30 individuals and how they seemed to have disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Subsequently, it was learned that most (though not all) were covert CIA Agents which would explain why they were not allowed to speak publicly

Nevertheless, it was also reported that about 7 or so were State Dept Personnel, thus there is no reason all could not be hauled in before the House Committee and made to answer questions.

Hearings will go nowhere. It will be like the Fast and Furious hearings: only Fox will mention them, and the rest of the Obama MSM will ignore them.

As Rush puts it, "Woodward and Bernstein will be helping Nixon with the coverup."

"It's not a scandal if we don't report it."

Yep. They just reelected the coward and liar of Benghazi.

The same guy who ran Fast and Furious, that resulted in 100s of dead Mexicans.

As a nation, we deserve Obama, and we are going to get the entire package now. Rule by fiat/decree etc.

Benghazi will go the way of Fast and Furious....Remember the democrats in charge today, don’t give a whip about the investigators. They do just as they please and to heck with the laws and investigators. That is our government today. The republicans don’t have the will or courage to stand up to do the right thing for this country or her citizens. They, for most of them, look to the next election and their POWER, which they turn over to the democrats...every time.

Hillary already has it covered:

Obama’s Benghazi Investigator: An Iran Sympathizer
Posted By Matthew Vadum On October 24, 2012

“The freshly appointed chairman of a federal investigation into the Benghazi massacre is an apologist for Islamic terrorism who has a cozy relationship with Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.”
