I'm still wondering what going on with the part we'll probably never see. Who are ambassadors? Some are career diplomats but many are donors to Obama’s campaign. High dollar donors. The ones in stable countries are OK but what the ones in say Upper Dungholia. By their inaction, this administration has painted larger targets on all of them. They've sent out the message that killing an American ambassador wont cause a reaction. I'm sure they've been screaming for more protection behind the scenes and getting it.

It's pretty simple. Bammy gave the first order to stand down....then LEFT, so the upper crusty officers had no choice but to continue the stand-down order. Bammy also probably left a 'standing order' he was not to be disturbed to try to claim the *plausible deniabilty* that he didn't know what was going on because no one woke him up.

If he does get into a corner, he'll screech 5TH AMENDMENT, and not testify at all.

The slimiest, vile and most twisted excuse for human beings as exists on this planet, Bammy, Hillary, and the rest of the governmental mafia won't lose a WINK of sleep over the kidnapping-turned-murder, since the 'bargaining chip' inconvenienced them so badly by dying.

AGRH! These people DISGUST me.

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).

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.

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 have a sick indescribable feeling about these hearings. I fear it will be a circus of testimony that implicates Obama and Hillary and Susan Rice to the enth degree but nothing will come of it. The Dems and media will applaud these 3 for standing up to the wasted taxpayer hearings and be hailed hero’s....this I fear.
Another black mark on Republicans for not putting these scumbags away. This I fear.

“People can say what they want about me, I don’t care,” Attkisson says. “I just want to get the information out there.”

She's never going to win a Pulitzer with that kind of attitude. /s

— Then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Jan. 23, 2013:

“I wasn’t involved in the talking points process.... As I understand it, as I’ve been told, it was a typical interagency process where staff, including from the State Department, all participated, to try to come up with whatever was going to be made publicly available, and it was an intelligence product.”

“With all due respect,the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?”—Hillary Clinton
