I am sure there are a lot of facts we don’t know about Benghazi.
We do know one fact and we have known it since it’s inception.
The Government lied to us about it. Not just one person, but many, and the lie came right out of the White House.
I’d like to hear an explanation of why GEN Ham and RADM Gaouette were relieved of duty.
“What difference does it make?”
The internet sales tax bill passed by the looters in both parties in the senate is now going to the house. That bill will actually affect lives of most Americans by taking more money out of their pockets and giving it to the spendthrift wastrel state governments.
In addition it will put a huge administrative burden on on-line retailers who to remain in business will have to pass those costs on to their customers. GOVERNMENT HATES SUCCESS! If you're successful at best they simply look at you as a source of plunder, and then do their best to make sure you fail in the future.
This dog and pony show while interesting to actually see the turd in the white house's machinations brought to light will really make no difference in our lives. They aren't going to rehold the election, and the media isn't going to pursue this like they did Nixon and Watergate (no one died in Watergate) because the media is totally in the bag for the turd in the white house.
Oh and for all of you "local business owners" who lobbied for this because you claim you can't compete with the internet? If you can't compete YOU DESERVE TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS. DON'T USE THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT TO PROP UP YOUR POORLY THOUGHT OUT BUSINESS MODEL. I hope you all end up homeless.
It will be interesting to see how this is handled by Congress. If it’s soft ball, or hard ball. It should no matter provide us insight in the direction we the people must address our concerns for the future.
We must watch for the contributors as well the obstructionists today, and make the list.
This entire corrupt government was interested in only one thing: the re-election of Obama. Nothing was allowed to complicate that over-riding agenda. Every department involved in the murders at Benghazi lied to promote his fabricated “success” in foreign policy.
Is there a limitation on the hearings? I would like to see them continue until all the questions are answered.
Ted Cruz continues to lead.
Great summary piece by Cruz and it will get coverage because a sneeze from Cruz arouses attention.
As with any good attorney, Cruz knows the answers to these questions already.
“But many more questions remain. Here are a dozen:
Why was the State Department unwilling to provide the requested level of security to Benghazi?
Were there really no military assets available to provide relief during the seven hours of the attacks? If so, why not? During the attacks, were any military assets ordered to stand down?
If the chairman of the Joint Chiefs thought there was “no question” this was a coordinated terrorist attack, why did Ambassador Susan Rice, Secretary Clinton, and President Obama all tell the American people that the cause was a “spontaneous demonstration” about an Internet video?
Why did the State Department edit the intelligence talking points to delete the references to “Islamic extremists” and “al Qa’ida”?
Why did the FBI release pictures of militants taken the day of the attack only eight months after the fact? Why not immediately, as proved so effective in the Boston bombing?
Why have none of the survivors testified to Congress?
Why is the administration apparently unaware of the whistle-blowers who have been attempting to tell their stories? Is it true that these career civil servants have been threatened with retaliation?
Did President Obama sleep the night of September 11, 2012? Did Secretary Clinton?
When was President Obama told about the murder of our ambassador? About the murder of all four Americans? What did he do in response?
What role, if any, did the State Department’s own counterterrorism office play during the attacks and in their immediate aftermath?
Why was Secretary Clinton not interviewed for the ARB report?
And why, if all relevant questions were answered in the ARB report, has the State Department’s own inspector-general office opened a probe into the methods of that very report?”
Red Cruz is being a BULLY. </s>
The unholy trinity of Obama, Panetta and Clinton need to be taken to account by the American people.
Ah bull...another dog and pony show. This Congress can’t even get our bullets back from Janet Napolitano you think anyone of these pukes is going to hold BHO’s feet to the fire on all this other stuff? Since the 60’s the operative paradigm for the Senate and the House has been “don’t ever do ANYTHING that will rile the blacks and cause them to maybe possibly riot in their own neighborhoods and beat up some whites”. Another poster on another thread a few days ago said it best, that it will all boil down to “system failure”. Again this will go NOWHERE. The Repubs don’t want a replay of the failed Clinton impeachment. With a whole bunch of actual impeachable offenses against him and with the Repubs having majorities in both houses of Congress they STILL couldn’t get rid of Billie. Then in the next election, the world-renowned ignoramus known as the American electorate creamed the Repubs for even trying.
BTTT!
