Raw Emotion On Display As Benghazi Witnesses Testify Before Congress

I found the testimony of the three State Department career personnel, who testified before the House Oversight Committee today not only to be credible, but to be extremely gripping emotionally, despite efforts by Democrats to dismiss it with typical character assasination tactics and accusations of Republican political maneuvering, which appeared to go nowhere.

As these three men spoke, who have been referred to in the press as "whistleblowers", you could see and hear them overcome with emotion, choking up as they described the day in which former US Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods were murdered by a well organized group of terrorists affiliated with Al Quaida, which the administration shamefully tried to deceive the American public into thinking was a spontaneous demonstration by local citizens outraged over an anti-muslim video, available over the internet.

Those three on the ground witnesses need to be asked how many defense aircraft (including helicopters) were immediately available, and how many neighboring friendly embassy security personnel offered assistance and were denied. If Congress wanted to get to the bottom of this quickly, they would solicit friendly neighboring embassy witnesses to voluntarily testify their recollections also, and who declined their assistance.

Has anyone noticed the huge number of high level military that have left the service in the last year or two?
I wouldn't call it mass resignations but it is significant. I have seen the same situation at a large police agency where all of the old stalwarts decided to retire rather than listen to the blather of an elected official who was destroying the department. Those slots were filled with political errand boys and it's never recovered.

I agree. This probe is ripe to find out things we don’t know. There are simply too many questions not to put aside partisan bickering, and get the whole story. Why was the Ambassador in Benghazi on a day when security should have been at the highest level and troops on alert all over the world, i.e. the anniversary of 9/11. There was something going on and we need to find out what it was
