Hearing details:
WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today announced three witnesses who will appear at a full committee hearing, “Benghazi: Exposing Failure and Recognizing Courage,” on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, at 11:30 AM in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building.
“I applaud these individuals for answering our call to testify in front of the Committee. They have critical information about what occurred before, during, and after the Benghazi terrorist attacks that differs on key points from what Administration officials – including those on the Accountability Review Board – have portrayed,” said Issa. “Our committee has been contacted by numerous other individuals who have direct knowledge of the Benghazi terrorist attack, but are not yet prepared to testify. In many cases their principal reticence of appearing in public is their concern of retaliation at the hands of their respective employers. While we may yet add additional witnesses, this panel will certainly answer some questions and leave us with many new ones.”
Witnesses: Mr. Mark Thompson
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism
US Department of State
Mr. Gregory Hicks
Foreign Service Officer and former Deputy Chief of Mission/Chargé d’Affairs in Libya
US Department of State
Mr. Eric Nordstrom
Diplomatic Security Officer and former Regional Security Officer in Libya
US Department of State
In October 2012, the Oversight Committee held the first hearing on the Benghazi attacks, which exposed denials of security requests and forced the Administration to acknowledge that the attacks were not sparked by a protest of a YouTube video, contrary to claims made by Obama Administration officials.

“The testimony was “use of air space” and that that was granted before the attacks. Why would they ask for air space use before the attack?”
IIRC, the unarmed drone was regularly assigned to watch a concentration of terrorist militia at Derna, just down the coast to the east, an area responsible for a huge number of Jihadi volunteers in Iraq and Af/Pak, and on 9/11/12 was diverted over to Benghazi.
Here is a CNN report from June 7, 2012 about a “failed terrorist attack on the US Mission in Benghazi proving that Barry and Hilarious KNEW or SHOULD HAVE KNOWN Al Queda was nearby:
“A senior Libyan official told CNN that the U.S. is flying surveillance missions with drones over suspected jihadist training camps in eastern Libya because of concerns over rising activity by al Qaeda and like-minded groups in the region but said that to the best of his knowledge, they had not been used to fire missiles at militant training camps in the area.
“The revelation follows a failed attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi on Tuesday night, which a shadowy jihadist group claimed was to avenge the death of al Qaeda No. 2 Abu Yahya al-Libi.
“The official said that one militant commander operating in Derna, Abdulbasit Azuz, had complained that a drone strike had targeted his training camp in the east of Libya. Last month, there were reports of explosions outside the Derna area in the vicinity of the camps, according to a different source.”
... rather they would stand with him, and he would bow to them.
If they were off, it was done on purpose. The ones in the position to give that kind of order ARE responsible and we do know who they are!
I am not holding my breath that they’ll ever be prosecuted though. Our side have no guts for the most part. I could name on one hand the ones that would do it, but they would have no one at their backs. Sad...but true.
So he hid out, or slept, while an Ambassador was MIA during running gun battles in Benghazi.
An Ambassador, in chess terms, or .gov terms, is equal to a four-star general.
****
Even the cartoonists.
And Obama was tied in with Hasan since 2008
and TO THIS DATE NO ONE CARES.
"Army Major (Hasan) Played Role in Presidential (Obama) Transition"
This is TREASON, abetted by the MSM and the DNC
for al Qaeda, attackers in the 911 Atrocities.
I honestly wish I knew, but I don’t.
But, I’ll be searching for it everywhere!
PLUS...doesn’t he have a wedding to attend on the 10th?
Giving in marriage his lovely daughter to that “Cat In The Hat” dude.
If you discover a link to watch it, live or on replay, please ping me with the data. Thanks, I want to get a copy immediately.
Will do.
Thanx.

I could have sworn C-SPAN 3 put a (D) in front of Doc’s named. That’s my story, and I’m stickin’ to it!
I should have know he was GOP. My lib sister in Richland is always complaining about all of the gun and Bible-loving “bitter-clingers” that live there.
I have no problem believing this is being done....they want changes in leadership from those who will not go along with the Global Push. Qaddafi, Mubarak, and now Assad..none would play their game..and we see where they end up.
They believe they can control the Muslim Brotherhood while they set the world stage...so it's no skin off their nose to see them take control...as the Muslim Brotherhood is organized, so they believe they can work with them.
Along with this I have no doubt either ...that they will use this same tactic of using riots “they” instigate to accomplish their purposes in other areas.
It's never what it appears to be...Powerful Political figures are not powerful for nothing. They have Global asperations.
Well, after what happened in Vietnam and Korea, and even the persistent rumors that we left many US soldiers in Stalin's hands after WWII to avoid provoking a new war - we can clearly state that Political Expediency is the true character of America.
Yes, we can expect it domestically too. There is no tactic beneath a regime that will deny security for its own personnel, at the cost of their lives, to further its political goals.
Politicians. I'm not ready to write off ordinary Americans to that condemnation. But current events may prove me wrong.
Is he on our side?
<....”we can expect it domestically too”....>
Oh absolutely....Obama gets online to his munchkins and they “organize”.....we must not forget that though he’s a looser of a President...he knows how to organize..and get those who dutifully follow him to do the deed most willingly.
Do you know definitely if “Jihad” Gerry was inside or was photographed inside that Dar Al Hijrah fundraiser? I was outside that event and we heard Tim Kaine, Jim the drunk Moron and Sharon Bulova had bowed out at the last minute. I know he advocated for the Islamic Saudi Academy when he was FFX County Stupidvisor. We need to get rid of him in 2014. I’m in his district unfortunately, after it was redrawn from Frank Wolf’s district.
