Payback time in the hen house as Benghazi hearings start on Wednesday

Washington Times ^ | 5/7/13 | Wesley Pruden

The noise in the hen house this morning is the flutter and cackle of the chickens from Benghazi, scuttling home to roost. The House committee opening hearings Wednesday on what happened there is likely to serve up chicken surprise. The four whistleblowing witnesses scheduled to testify to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are said to be eager to tell a story far different from the various accounts, all confused and all contradictory, peddled by the Obama administration. Someone at the White House should have remembered that old Washington chestnut, as true now as ever,

[Venturer]

I believe we can forget Uncle Joe stepping in.

[txhurl]

Gonna be one hell of a live thread.

[ConservativeMan55]

I know right?!

[Nachum]

If a live thread is established, I certainly will. :)

As to tomorrow’s Benghazi revelations, anything short of the Second Coming will be ignored by the press, and life will go on, much as it did today.

Low-information, low-motivation, and low-intelligence Americans will collect the usual benefits and perks, while you and I work our behinds off just trying to keep our heads above water. Benghazi? Hillary, unfortunately, was right. It just doesn’t matter to liberals.

...as complaining that the revisions did not go far enough to satisfy “my building’s leadership.” The leadership of the “building,” and no doubt the people in it,

I read the original article again, and it doesn't say "my building's leadership."

It says, "my BUILDING LEADERSHIP."

I.E. She was expressing concern about her 'budding career' and not about any concerns for the department as a whole.

I say we do a free Benghazi tweet feat and call/blog fill-EVERYWHERE. 25,000 tweets

[junta]

You bet, attack the cultists, isolate the leader, take it all down.

I wonder if General Carter Ham should be allowed to testify.

Of course, he may not want to.

But one story about what happened was that General Ham was going to intervene DESPITE WHAT THE OBAMA ADMIN said.

Of course, he is now retired because of Benghazi-gate.

Probably was a very good soldier to stand up for his principles and get sacked rather than obey an incredibly stupid order.

It reminds me of the incredibly stupid order of General Westmoreland to Colonel Hal Moore.

Colonel Moore, in the middle of the battle at Ia Drang was ordered by General Westmoreland to leave the battlefield so that Colonel Moore could give a report to General Westmoreland.

Colonel Hal Moore appropriately refused the order and did not abandon his troops in the middle of the battle at Ia Drang where the 7th Calvary was facing a Division of North Vietnamese regulars...

But then General Westmoreland was probably hand picked by LBJ to lead US forces in Vietnam...

Thank you!

There is truth in that.

[Mr. K]

But it’s Bush’s fault and you’re a racist.

Also gay marriage, and so shut up.

[skeeter]

Exactly why I hope the republicans, rather than act gentlemanly, instead raise hell.

[Jimmy Valentine]

I don't know about that July. There is already a lot of toothpaste that has come out of the tube already. This is finally getting some momentum.

One good thing; they have absolute proof that Hillary lied under oath. That will give them some leverage.

[Signalman]

Is this hearing scheduled to last only one day? What is needed is a Select Committee with an investigative staff.

[Pres Raygun]

I don’t think Hillary actually testified under oath. She stalled until she was no longer the SOS so she could negotiate the terms of her testifying before Congress since she knew she would be lying extensively.

[BMCinSC]

I fully expect a totally different breaking news front page story to emerge by 6AM tomorrow that takes the spotlight away from the Benghazi hearings, engineered of course by the scumbags in the WH and State Department.

[varmintman]

This is not a case of a US ambassador being killed and his government doing nothing. It is a case of a US ambassador being RAPED and TORTURED and THEN killed, and his government doing nothing.

[Jimmy Valentine]

I hope you are wrong, but it is abaolutely “Clintonesque” to pull a stunt like that.

[blueunicorn6]

I hope the Democrats draw this out for a long, long time. It’s going to take time to deprogram the brainwashed Democrat voters. Fight it Democrats! Keep your clown in office as long as you can! The real danger in this is the Democrats cutting Obama’s term short.
