The person who gave the standdown order is the person who needs to be questioned. Lives were lost as a result of that order. The coverup of the facts should not be allowed to go on.

Despite the evil contained within this Administration, the one clear and patently obvious truth that comes out of all this is that the American Mainstream Media (journalists) is the single biggest threat to truth and freedom in this world, bar none.

This needs to be said over and over. The MSM and Hollywood jackasses have been the biggest contributor to our pending destruction. I see no way to undo the damage that has been done in time to save America for the worst depression. This depression will be so violent that make the 30ies look like a cake walk.

Who gave this order? At the time, how did they know only 4 would be killed?

Or how long the attack would be and would it continue elsewhere killing more Americans.

BTTT.

Best article about yesterday’s bloodbath in the House.

Question: WHY? Why is the 0bama Administration still involved in an obvious, massive, cover-up?

My best guess: MANPADS. We were supplying Libya’s shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles to Al Qaeda in Syria.

Arming our Enemies.

Even a low-information voter understand TREASON that simple.

Well, Jay Carney gave the marching orders to the media yesterday--treat the whole thing as a case of ongoing Republican partisanship.

According to "Fox & Friends" this morning, Hicks voted for Hillary in the 2008 primary, then voted for Obama in both 2008 and 2012 in the general election (so he voted for him even after Benghazi).

Several incidents in this attack haunt me. The primary one is: Why did the attackers bypass the foreign (friendly embassies) and go straight to the American ones. I understand one was an unflagged classified (supposed) private residence, yet the attackers new exactly where it was.

Low information voters don't give a damn one way or another about Ben Garzi{sp?]. Their only concern is,"Will I continue to get my freebies?" and "Who will give me the most freebies". And the answer to both of these questions is who they will vote for, numerous times per person each election cycle.

As far as this "scandle" bringing the obama administration down goes. Forget it. obama, or any Democrat president could take an infant to the center of thw White House lawn, summon every reporter and news camera in the Nation, have them focus on the infant. Cut off the infant's head and bugger the corpse and not a single report would of this go out on the six o'clock news. The next day the news would be: Republicans and Tea Party members masquerade as preisdent, slay infant and committ buggery upon its body.

Excellent summary of the most important security investigation since 9/11/01. Too bad most Americans will know nothing about it or dismiss it as Republician partisianship.

Benghazi was a soft, high value target. According to testimony by DCM Hicks, SecState Clinton was fully briefed on its security shortcomings, yet she remained insistent on its being a “permanent U.S. presence” in Benghazi. Subsequent requests for additional security were denied, with predictable results. The locals were well aware of the facility's vulnerabilities and the exact location of internal safe havens and emergency plans. Somebody passed that information to the attackers, who, in the words of DCM Hicks, were able to call in “extremely accurate mortar fire.” That's one hell of a “spontaneous” demonstration over a Youtube video nobody ever heard of before.

No one knew or could have known if any relieving force would be walking into a trap. Mogadishu.......

In our entire military there is only one force, the Marine
Corps TRAP, Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel force that trains and is armed for and has helo insertion options for hot LZ’s.

It is also the only force that goes in heavy, with weapons platoons that can terminate all opposing forces and anyone foolish enough to stay around.

The problem is that they are only deployed on MEF’s, Marine Expeditionary Forces of which we have only three deployed worldwide at any time. Two are dedicated to the Persian Gulf - Afghan theater.

One is deployed to the eastern Med and has been committed to the Syrian - Jordan - Israel - Egypt theater. Libya was not considered an active threat as compared to the eastern Med.

We can only do so much. There was a SST (site Security Team) on site that was pulled out even though it was free and available to Dept of State for another 6 months.

All this talk about this unit or that 4 SF personnel could have gone in is just ignorant talk. This is the real world folks, instantly desperate by a clever and constantly probing enemy.

Pinging you this one to help you get caught up when you return from vacay. This is one of the more comprehensive summaries I've seen of what we heard in yesterday's Benghazi hearings. Below, is the closing paragraph, copied because I so agree that this is what really matters.

But with the truth finally coming to the surface, the remaining question observers are left with is why the Obama administration abandoned Americans who were easily within reach. While the lies used to cover up this disaster are easy to explain, the rationale behind the unconscionable stand down orders must still be determined. As the facts stand now, the likely explanations do not bode well for President Obama. The circumstances suggest the decision was made by a callous and desperate president struggling with a re-election campaign, a central plank of which was that al-Qaeda had been decimated and was “on the run” — not something affirmed by news of al-Qaeda operatives’ murder of our ambassador and military personnel. Or perhaps our commander-in-chief was too busy being our campaigner-in-chief and simply didn’t care about the carnage unfolding on his watch, which he declined to prevent. In any case, it is incumbent on the Obama administration to provide a rationale for its disastrous decision. As persistent Americans have shown, the investigation will not cease until that occurs.

I am very pessimistic that these hearings will do anything. What did fast and Furious accomplish?

A bunch of dead Mexicans and an unknown number of dead Americans when the guns were smuggled by gangs back into the States.

Watch these Navy SEAL Team VI families and other family members as they reveal the Obama Administrations culpability in death of their sons in the fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan following the successful raid on bin Laden’s compound. This is a powerful and riveting briefing thatincluded some of America’s most significant military leaders.

"Let’s see if the proceedings actually bring about justice, or if it will further increase the cynicism of the American public about how much their government will lie to them."

There will be no justice subsequent to this horrific episode of willful abandonment by Obama and the State Department.
1. Obama will never be seriously held accountable because of his skin color.
2. Both he and Hillary will be protected by the media at all costs.

Hilary will run for POTUS and from her cattle futures scam through the cleaning of Vince Foster's office and up to Benghazi her past will be covered just as Obama's has been. It is time for the media to take the beating they deserve, but we all know that ain't gonna happen. When the going gets tough they just give themselves awards.
