WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate Armed Services Committee says Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will testify on Thursday about the deadly assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya last September.

fyi

H/T to the Drudge Report.

“What difference does it make?”

[I want the USA back]

It will be more lies to protect the Big Boss.

Thank you so much for the notice!
Leon might have a couple of things to say.
MIGHT.

[Diogenesis]

Will they FREE the 30 witnesses held in captivity?

Inquiring minds want to know.

“Benghazi? Well, Senator, let me tell you about Benghazi. They have great cheese in Benghazi. Some of the best cheese sandwiches in the world come from Benghazi. Blah Blah Blah Yak Yak Yak.”

Dempsey. That blithering fool. This ought to be good. Real good.
I'm not too sure sometimes the man even knows his name.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Shirley you jest...

Not to be overly disrespectful, but did anyone else notice the “array” of awards on Dempsey’s chest? I would suspect that he would be shown up by most lower enlisted who have served a couple of combat tours.

[BerryDingle]

You can bet they won’t tell us who left 20 to 30 people for dead by refusing help, nor will they be asked.

"...Shirley you jest..."

Don't call me Shirley, dammit ......................................................................... FRegards

[onyx]

Don’t call me Shirley! LOL.
No, I’m not jesting. If anyone would spill a few beans, it would be Leon.
NOT that I am counting on it.

[pepperdog]

Ain't nobody can obsfusticate like our bought and paid for politicians!

[onyx]

LOL.
BUMP!

[penelopesire]

Hmmmm..might be worth clearing the schedule to watch Cruz. The rest of the politicos on our side are pretty hopeless and/or spineless on Benghazi so far IMHO. Thanks for letting me know. Agree with onyx, Panetta might have a couple of surprises up his sleeve. I don’t get the impression that he is totally down with the Marxist prez, but I could be wrong.

[Marine_Uncle]

I’ll probably watch it, if it shows up on CSPAN.

[FES0844]

More speeches, more thank you’s, more BS.

[upchuck]

This’ll be more BS a blowin’ in the wind.

This will be worthless.

I wanna know what happened to the supposed 30-40 consulate employees that were flown out. Where are they? What do they have to say? It’s like they disappeared.

[thouworm]

Thanks for ping.

cleanup crew-—clean up Benghazi; clean up administration; clean up personal reputations.

Hillary had a few personal clean-up remarks, subtly diverging from administration. I expect the same from Panetta.

Is this an open hearing? If you get wind of a live thread, please ping me. I will do the same.

LOL! Zing.

Crickets from Congress and the press, as is the question about Ambassador Stevens fate (extent of injuries) and the official cause of his death.
