CNS News ^ | May 7, 2013 | Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) - "The dam's about to break on Benghazi," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Fox News's Greta Van Susteren on Monday night. He said this week's testimony from State Department whistleblowers is "going to make you mad." He's also urging other witnesses to come forward.

Graham was among the first Republicans to speak to Greg Hicks, the number two diplomat in Libya when Benghazi was attacked.

Hicks will tell the House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee on Wednesday that everyone in Libya knew it was a terror attack from the very beginning, even though the Obama White House -- two months before the presidential election -- kept blaming a spontaneous protest arising from an obscure anti-Muslim video.....

As far as I’m concerned, the protests in Cairo and elsewhere were PURPOSELY planned by the Muslim Brotherhood in coordination with the CIA to provide cover for the operation later that night in Benghazi. That is why they stuck to the video story even when it was not working a they planned.

Actually, the polls are saying that the majority opinion shows people believe the Obama administration is covering something up.

Graham mostly represents himself and the Russian commie immigrants first, and USA citizenry second. For the most part (except for his anti gun control stance) he has never represented my interests of an American for America.

Lindsay Graham is Lincoln Chafee without the personality.

remember a few years back when Hillary Clinton to Lindsey Graham to the Exit Glacier near Seward, Alaska on the Pacific Coast and told him it was ANWR which is over 1,000 miles away in the north east corner of the state.

Is this supposed to be a sentence? :-)

With a teflon president and know-nothing secretary of state, I ain’t holding my breath.

We knew getting involved in Libya in the first place would be a disaster.

I feel your pain. I hold our Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the highest regard, but like everyone else, he's not perfect. He got us involved in that mess in Libya when we had absolutely no business being there.

Wish I could believe ya, Lindsey, but too many of the American people are too busy watching their president on American Idol. Winning the contest just for being him. And the lamestream media will just keep yawning at this.

You and your buddy, nickcarraway, haven’t a clue what you’re talking about.

In South Carolina, Graham is in serious trouble. He’s dropped from 71% voter approval down to 54%. We’ve been working on that for three months.

Here’s a recommendation from me to you: crawl back under your rock and shutup.

Mike Huckabee believes Benghazi will be Barack Obama’s WaterGate! And include Hillary Clinton in that too!

Excuse me? Did you read my post. If you are criticizing me, you must be a strong Graham supporter. It’s not my fault if your boy dropped from 71% to 54%, he’s a lousy Senator.

Has anyone wondered - or mentioned -that the whole emphasis is on who changed the talking points, who ordered the stand down etc - but NO ONE is asking:”WHAT were they trying to cover up? “WHAT were they doing in that compound? Were they running the Qaddafi guns to the tallies through Turkey? WHY was the Turkish diplomat in the Benghazi compound that day, meeting with Stevens?”

THESE are the things we need to know -

And it looks like they are ALL - both sides - going to cover this up.

Assigning blame for the changed talking points and who ordered the stand down seems to be the trade off. Don't question/investigate what we were actually doing there - just do a smoke and mirrors on the surface. The gullible public won't look any further.

Are we being hoodwinked to accept the biggest cover up of all? Time to crash the investigators team with emails - and get some trusted media on it.

If a tree falls in the forest and MSM doesn’t report it, does it make a sound?

The majority of Americans don’t care because MSM has not told them to care.

Was Ambassador Stevens privy to some information he should not have had? Had he indicated he might release that information?

We know somebody(Hillary?) changed the talking points and we know that somebody (the CIC) ordered the stand down. Both things are very bad. All the while we don't have any evidence of some nefarious operation.

So why would we want to switch attention away from the definite bad things that Hillary and Obama did and switch focus to something that we have no existing evidence.

I've been listening to Hugh Hewitt do his pre-hearing show. He talked to many of the Rep. reps who will be asking questions tomorrow. His last question to Trey Gowdy of S.C. was will anything come out tomorrow that will put Benghazi on the level that Watergate rose to after the news about the White House recordings emerged. Gowdy said in effect, "you betcha!"

For it to have any similarity to Watergate the MSM has to go for the Benghazi jugular. It ain’t gonna happen. Most folks don’t know what Benghazi is and MSM has not told them to care. So they don’t.
