Seven Hundred Retired Military Special Ops Tell Congress to Form Select Committee on Benghazi

Seven hundred retired Military Special Operations professionals from the organization "Special Operations Speaks" sent a letter to the House of Representatives urging members to support H.Res 36, which will create a House Select Committee to investigate last September’s deadly terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.

“It appears that many of the facts and details surrounding the terrorist attack which resulted in four American deaths and an undetermined number of American casualties have not yet been ascertained by previous hearings and inquiries,” the letter states. It continues further, "Additional information is now slowly surfacing in the media, which makes a comprehensive bipartisan inquiry an imperative. Many questions have not been answered thus far." The letter puts forth over twenty unanswered questions the select committee should address.

Congressman Frank Wolf, a sub-committee chairman on the House Appropriations Committee, issued a resolution for a House Select Committee to investigate issues surrounding the Benghazi Attack last November in the 112th Congress. He re-issued his resolution for the select committee when the 113th Congress began. The resolution currently has over 60 co–sponsors.

Only Speaker John Boehner (R–OH) can appoint a Select Committee and Boehner appears to mainly rely on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to investigate the Benghazi attack. However, any information that may be garnered from that committee will, as always, remain classified.

Their names will simply be added to Obama's list of domestic threats...and they will be removed from "life support" as they become problematic for the Administration.

This is a communist/islamic takeover of America...the idea that Obama will be held to account has long passed.

This was the ONE thing that got me so upset in the hospital that I actually scared the nurse because once I got a phone, the first thing I asked Hardraade about was petraeus’s choirboy speech where he appeared as innocent as the driven snow and no one on FR seemed to even be mentioning it, according to Hardraade. AND I even asked him to Freepmail Travis McGee to ask if Spec Ops was going to come out on this issue loud and clear. I also wanted to know if we had an exact body count of how many SEALs have died?, been killed?, been murdered?, since the day they went right in obama’s face and shot that frikking somali pirate to save an American ship captain. Still don’t have an answer for that.

From the remarks at the site of article ... one person (in particular) loves it when people (our People) die under democRATs but not under republicans. Allows one to know the mind of those who stood down and why they stood down. The truth is worrisome for those who say ... stand down when confronted with the truth. Standing Down never works. No wonder so many in congress and the _resident want to Stand Down. People die when Stand Down is the prevailing order. Standing down is working for all tyrants in this world. Take a look democRATs. Stand down is the ticket to losing your Freedom too. Oh excuse me I forgot democRATs don't like Freedom. It might hurt someone's feelings if someone had Freedom. Have heard it before from democRATs ... you will be assimilated. Sorry democRATs, I Love Freedom, your assimilation is not an option!

That would only prove yet again what a coward Emperor Zero is...and (with hopes and prayers) impeach him out of office...then we would have to deal with Crazy Joe Biden...this will only get resolved if a true patriot president is elected in NOV 2016 and he charges Zero with the murder of those 4 US citizens...and rams the law down the throats of those in his administration which were accomplices to acts of treason that been doled out on the US since 2009!

This undocumented democrat "foreigner" is so arrogant and narcissistic, he is incapable of being embarrassed, so even if he's impeached repeatedly, he'll never leave. He needs a formal criminal investigation with possible serious charges by an outside party not connected to federal DOJ. Hillary should be investigated too.

Take it slow Mesta and keep calm. This issue is not going away. Too many are Standing Up ... I do not sense a Stand Down.

Awesome. The stink from this horrific mess-up needs to be uncovered, removed and cleansed, preferring in this flippin century.

HOORAY SPEC OPS! Well-stated post in a very good thread of posts, Conor. BTTT!

[stanne]

diane. Okay. Then how about they use your security staff you give up to them for having protected you, your family, your constituents. If not, shut up.

[stanne]

Can’t trace to whom she was responding in that scene. Was it our Ted Cruz?

[MestaMachine]

I will fight this fight with every breath I have left in my body if need be.

Thanks for the kind words, FRiend!

Benghazi sticks in my craw like nothing else in the long history of this Great Nation. Never before have we faced such a threat from inside the fabric of our own government. We must stand up and defend our basic Freedoms now - tomorrow will be too late!

So good to have you back. May God be your strength and healing. Your patriotism and continued dedication are greatly needed here.

Take it slow, please. No more hospital visits, please. Progress is being made on your health and this issue. We (all of us) value your health. You have done well to keep us informed.

Keep the faith FRiend. The tide maybe is beginning to turn. More pressure being applied by our retired Military is going to help in ways unknown to the zer0 crowd. Word is spreading through our Military like wildfire of what to expect. We're ready despite zer0 and his crowd.

[PGalt]

It is so good to see you, Mesta! I’m waiting to hear your post/explanation (as you stated on another thread). WOW, it’s GRRRRREAT to have you back!

HOORAY SPEC OPS! WOOOOHOOOO!
