SEPTEMBER 11, 2012 PM [afternoon... 5 pm?] : (PANETTA, OBAMA & DEMPSEY SPEND A WHOLE 15 MINUTES DISCUSSING THE ONGOING ATTACKS ON US FACILITIES AND PERSONNEL IN BENGHAZI) “Mr. Panetta said he and Mr. Obama, along with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, discussed the attack for 15 minutes in the Oval Office the afternoon of Sept. 11, and also covered an anti-American protest that had broken out that day at the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt.
Testifying to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Mr. Panetta said the president told them to “do whatever you need to do to be able to protect our people there,” though when it came to specifics the president “left it up to us.”
Republicans said they were dismayed that the Defense Department’s top officials and Mr. Obama didn’t speak again over the next six hours, during witch two attacks claimed the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.”———Washington Times

Gowdy for Speaker all the way. He is crafty, legally brilliant, and a silver tongue to boot.

Yes! I've been saying that for some time now...

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and of course Rep. Jason Chaffetz were VERY impressive today as well.

Thank you for this thread, kristinn...

“Benghanzi so high-risk that he and diplomatic members requested firearm training...
Obviously asking the wrong people.”

They should not be allowed guns ‘cause Barbara Walters said yesterday people who have guns tend to use them the wrong way. She said that to a black lady on that show when the black lady finished saying she was getting a gun because after 1 am in the morning their security alarm went off saying there was an intruder and she had no way to defend her son.

So, you can see, staff overseas cannot use guns the right way. /s

Oh, and at some point in the day Obama phones Netanyahu and brushes off his request for a meeting as I recall.

Pakistanis didn't know about any "video" or any "insults" until 0blablah and Hillbilly broadcast this...

Obama and Hillary Apologize for Free Speech on Pakistani TV (taxpayer-funded ads) Sept. 20, 2012

Which immediately resulted in this...

Pakistan: 17 killed in anti-Islam film protests Sept. 21, 2012

0bama then went to the UN and re-inflamed the Muslim world once again over the manufactured offense "Innocence of Muslims."

U.S. President Speaks to U.N. About YouTube Video

Those apologies validated their anger.

Congressman Trey Gowdy, one of the last speakers, was terrific. If his words don’t get repeated on news shows it will only be in the cause of protecting democrats.

Paraphrase: A situation that was too dangerous for FBI - trained law enforcement officers, to enter, was considered safe enough for a diplomat!

However they did wrong to US. They blamed US! They continue to blame us, the USA in regards to the “worlds” trouble.

I haven't done sh!t! Why do they blame ME for their own troubles?

Sorry, I take a HIGH offencce to such accusations.

So, is it only 1 day of hearings, or are more scheduled? And if more, when?

Does anyone know?

We still don’t know if this was a set up situation to make BO look good before an election.

It wasn't.

Hillary was trying to make an 'impression' by keeping a presence in Benghazi and Tripoli. Hillary was trying to help the Libyans keep their newly found freedom. Her ticket to the Presidency.

Barack (and Valerie) didn't want the Libyans to have their country back. They wanted the Muslim Brotherhood to take it over.

So.... they sabotaged Hillary's plans. Requests for added security were being thrown in the round file cabinet. Obama had the final say on military assistance.

Hillary lost that battle. This is why Hillary resigned.

The Chicago machine roped her in and used her powerful political ambitions against her. Her underlings screwed up because they were either incompetent or pawns under control of the Chicago/Muslim Brotherhood Machine.

Thank you. I don’t get CSPAN-3 but others can take advantage of that. When I can find it online I will listen to the entire thing. I heard the last hour and I would call it explosive.
