Today's hearing on Benghazi is just sad. We have the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the outgoing Secretary of Defense testifying to the Senate hearing that even though it was 9/11, who everyone and their mother understood is the anniversary of the worst attack on American soil...even though, due in no small part to Obama's actions, Libya had become a hotbed of al-Qaeda activity, AND even though the ambassador to Libya had sent warning of impending threats, they did nothing to ensure the security of the embassy and our citizens.
“The United States military is not and should not be a global 911 service capable of arriving on the scene within minutes to every possible contingency around the world,”
Bull***t.
No one expects our military to have assets in place everywhere but everyone expects them to have assets in place where an attack is most likely to happen.
The President, the Vice President, the CIA, the State Department and our military didn't know that Libya had been over-run with al-Qaeda? They didn't know it was 9/11? They didn't know about the warnings sent by Ambassador Stevens?
Bull***t bull***t bull***t.
And the Chairman was a bit surprised himself to learn that Hillary Clinton testified she didn't know of the cables sent by the Ambassador:
When asked by Lindsey Graham if ANY assets were moved to help those under attack the answer by the chairman was
Got that?
No one was sent to help them.

And still no one in D.C. will bring up impeachment. Where are the Republican “leaders?”
Hey man, the president was a BUSY man... Didn’t he have a party to attend the next night?
Come on, give da man a break! How much can ONE president DO???
afaik... and others here can confirm... the seal wouldnt have tried to ‘paint’ a target if he didn’t have a frequency confirmation on the unit... meaning there was something on station and ready.
question is... why did it green light him only to hold fire once he was exposed?
were they trying to end it by removing the seals from ‘the equation’?
The President cannot be absent. The Gov. may be hiking the Appalachian trail. But, the President must be somewhere.
He skips his briefings. Did he skip this crisis?
Did Rand Paul ask the question again? If not, somebody should, just so we get all of them lying on the record.
There was a picture of a hand-cuffed man in one of the pictures that night in Benghazi....as the Americans were leaving, I think. It looked suspicious to me. Of course no senators have seen the pictures.
who fired the General who was in charge of AFRICON? I believe only the President of the USA can do that. Why would he do that int he middle of the siege?
It was General Ham, I believe. He wasn’t fired and has been mentioned several times in today’s hearing.
