Seven Hundred Retired Military Special Ops Tell Congress to Form Select Committee on Benghazi
Big Peace ^ | 4/7/13 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 04/07/2013 6:01:09 PM PDT by markomalley

Seven hundred retired Military Special Operations professionals from the organization "Special Operations Speaks" sent a letter to the House of Representatives urging members to support H.Res 36, which will create a House Select Committee to investigate last September’s deadly terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.

“It appears that many of the facts and details surrounding the terrorist attack which resulted in four American deaths and an undetermined number of American casualties have not yet been ascertained by previous hearings and inquiries,” the letter states. It continues further, "Additional information is now slowly surfacing in the media, which makes a comprehensive bipartisan inquiry an imperative. Many questions have not been answered thus far." The letter puts forth over twenty unanswered questions the select committee should address.

Congressman Frank Wolf, a sub-committee chairman on the House Appropriations Committee, issued a resolution for a House Select Committee to investigate issues surrounding the Benghazi Attack last November in the 112th Congress. He re-issued his resolution for the select committee when the 113th Congress began. The resolution currently has over 60 co–sponsors.

Only Speaker John Boehner (R–OH) can appoint a Select Committee and Boehner appears to mainly rely on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to investigate the Benghazi attack. However, any information that may be garnered from that committee will, as always, remain classified.

The Clintons showed everyone that they could get away with anything tho just barely.

Obama doesn’t even have to really try. The media has erected a steel curtain around him and his cronies. He will never have to pay a price until he dies.

I'm on board! The stench of treachery permeates this Regime and its mendacity regarding the Massacre at Benghazi!

Yes, indeed we do in this family at least. Both of us are retired military; our youngest son is active duty military, and my dad is retired military (WWII, Korea and Vietnam vet).

We want the truth!

I can’t believe how anyone could look at that picture and “hunger” for her to be the next POTUS. Barry sure lowered the standard. I mean, they’re in the toilet.

Unfortunately it will be loaded with back washers and deal makers who will find nothing but scapegoats.

[...to investigate the Benghazi attack]

That would only prove yet again what a coward Emperor Zero is...and (with hopes and prayers) impeach him out of office...then we would have to deal with Crazy Joe Biden...this will only get resolved if a true patriot president is elected in NOV 2016 and he charges Zero with the murder of those 4 US citizens...and rams the law down the throats of those in his administration which were accomplices to acts of treason that been doled out on the US since 2009!

Yup the Oklahoma city investigation, the 911 Commission are two that come to mind.

These sorts of things need to be placed in the hands of American citizens.

He's proven to every child in the world that if you try hard enough, you can be President of the USSA!

From the article:

Doesn't it make everyone glad the information is classified? The lame-stream drive bys love it, zer0 loves it, hillary (what different does it make) loves it. Is there any of our people in congress that doesn't love it? This is a bold step by retired Military. May the People sit up and take a look. The truth is out there. This has been one lie after another. Proved lies by zer0 and his crowd. People died ... zer0 and his crowd lied!

Obama is better protected from rightful prosecution or even having his misdeeds revealed than any man who has ever lived.

The only real danger to him would be if some “Insane” person assassinated him and that would not help as someone just as bad would take his place with even more power. In fact assassinating him would be the worst thing which could happen.

He would become the New Martin Luther King/Lincoln/Kennedy and we would worship him for years.
