Panetta being questioned by Congress regarding Benghzi.
Question is.....why in the HELL get involved in Libya in the first place???? And if so, why wasn’t there proper backup considering the region is so volatile. You don’t set up an embassy (compound) without proper backup within reach.
Ted Cruz ROCKS.
He is directing the witnesses BACK to
the benghazi attack up to the murder of the Seals.
IF ONLY FREEPERS could see the hands in front of
the mouths of Panetta and Demsey which reveals
they are clowns.
The Clowns are holding back and when they
“answer” they cannot even LOOK at Ted Cruz.

Sen. Graham: Are you surprised the president never called to say how it's going? Panetta doesn't answer directly. Retweeted by Michelle Malkin
Sen. Graham: Was any DOD asset ever deployed to help these people before the attack was over? Pannetta: After hemming and hawing...."No.'
Both clowns admit they had NO conversations with Clinton during the attacks.
how the hell is that even possible?
Now Kay Hagan of now stroking the dynamic duo.
Kay Hagan (D) is up.
The questions are comfortable for the clowns,
and they can look at her straight in the eye.
The body language reveals there is and has been
a coverup ... of possible treason.
I assume that all visas and other consular matters were being handled by the Rmbasy in Tripoli.
The above is kook garbage. The Admiral's strike group was in the Pacific at the time of the Benghazi attack, and utterly incapable of doing jack squat about Benghazi.
Holy Krap just heard we have to have Lawyers determine if we can attack a group of terrorists! Or Not!
Dempsey plays Mickey-the-Dunce
and purported he knew NOTHING.
but Sen. Roger Wicker (R) artfully skewers
the Clown and gets him to finally admit
that he knew.
Yes. He knew about the attacks on the
Red Cross, and on the UK, and then
finally on the US. But did nothing.
Wicker of MS wonders about the intelligence gap, in response to Chambliss’s questions. reviews all of the various intelligence leading up to 9/11/12.
Asks” is there something else you needed to know to provide proper security?”
Dempsey says what he knew was what was in Gen. Ham’s weekly reports, which showed a deteriorating security situation.
Wicker asks did you know about the attack on the British.
Dempsey agains says Ham was very good about reporting the deteriorating security situation.
Says threat streams in Libya similar to other threats happening at the same time.
Says he does not put military resources in to a country unless requested by host country.
folks, this is all bullsh@t. Stevie Wonder could have foreseen a problem and prepared accordingly. These jokers are going to skate, unless someone nails them with a moment by moment admission of what happened and who decided what to do or what not to do.
Panetta returns to the claim
they they knew nothing. Nothing at all.
The Democrats then take over.
Sen. McCaskill (D) says she feels
sorry for Panetta being asked
such tough questions.
Then lauds him. He laughs
and smiles.
One person from the State Dept
is at the hearing (by request for
a raise of hands).
Plausible deniability rules, it seems.
They are hostages, either under Libyan or American control.
They are asking the wrong questions to the wrong people. DOD is not responsible for providing security for our diplomatic facilities.
But the fact remains that DOD is not responsible for security for our diplomatic missions. That is strictly a State Department function.
Since you are so wise, why did they fire the general?
I can’t believe the questions McCaskill is asking!
To protect the treason and DNC corruption
Sen. McCaskill (D) deftly changes the
subject to contractors in Afghanistan.
Panetta thanks her for changing
the subject, and his mood brightens.
This must be a happy day for the coup d’etat and
those involved in the weapons transfer to al Qaeda
by the US (previously attacked by
al Qaeda in the 911 Atrocities)
Sen. Joe Donnelly (D) takes over
to protect the coverup.
He brings up that it is not the
“DOD role to be 911”.
Should Libya have been “911”, he says?
With this softball, Panetta returns
to his apparent view that the answer
is ‘yes’. He waves his hand in the air
(like his answer), and Donnelly seems
satisfied.
An embassy is American territory, is it not?
Are there not sensitive materials there? that is why then.marines are there.
Of 220 different facilities, how many need military protection, that are in situations that require more protection? Ten percent?
Regardless, there was an attack on our State Department AND CIA facilities in Benghazi the same night. 37 Americans were there and needed protection.
Who were they supposed to rely on—Achmed’s rent a Guard?
And with the deteriorating security situation in Benghazi,, not one professional SOD or State Department official could foresee what was going to happen?
None of this should be a question after the 1979 Iranian hostage situation.
This is all dissembling and lying on the part of
Dempsey and Panetta.
The truth is, the reality is, that to cover up what was happening for why Stevens was even there. Is that our President and His entire Administration was willing to sacrifice the lives of ALL 37 Americans there that night in order to cover the arms running to Syria through Turkey.
I feel like sending them all Wet Ones to clean their lips after all the @ss kissing taking place today.
