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 dAffairs 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.
*** NOTE: Press seating will be reserved, but limited. Please arrive early (hearing room will open to press at 10:30 AM) to guarantee a seat. An overflow area will be available. ***

SEPTEMBER 11, 2012 PM [afternoon... 5 pm?] : (PANETTA, OBAMA & DEMPSEY SPEND A WHOLE 15 MINUTES DISCUSSING THE ONGOING ATTACKS ON US FACILITIES AND PERSONNEL IN BENGHAZI) Mr. Panetta said he and Mr. Obama, along with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, discussed the attack for 15 minutes in the Oval Office the afternoon of Sept. 11, and also covered an anti-American protest that had broken out that day at the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt.
Testifying to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Mr. Panetta said the president told them to do whatever you need to do to be able to protect our people there, though when it came to specifics the president left it up to us.
Republicans said they were dismayed that the Defense Departments top officials and Mr. Obama didnt speak again over the next six hours, during witch two attacks claimed the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.———Washington Times
today was the definition and names of players and said testimony
next will be Ambassador Stevens job detail and gun runnin and where in hell are the madpads
Yes! I've been saying that for some time now...
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and of course Rep. Jason Chaffetz were VERY impressive today as well.
Thank you for this thread, kristinn...
15 lousy minutes!
They should not be allowed guns ‘cause Barbara Walters said yesterday people who have guns tend to use them the wrong way. She said that to a black lady on that show when the black lady finished saying she was getting a gun because after 1 am in the morning their security alarm went off saying there was an intruder and she had no way to defend her son.
So, you can see, staff overseas cannot use guns the right way. /s

Oh, and at some point in the day Obama phones Netanyahu and brushes off his request for a meeting as I recall.
Obama and Hillary Apologize for Free Speech on Pakistani TV (taxpayer-funded ads) Sept. 20, 2012
Which immediately resulted in this...
Pakistan: 17 killed in anti-Islam film protests Sept. 21, 2012
0bama then went to the UN and re-inflamed the Muslim world once again over the manufactured offense "Innocence of Muslims."
U.S. President Speaks to U.N. About YouTube Video
Those apologies validated their anger.
Congressman Trey Gowdy, one of the last speakers, was terrific. If his words don’t get repeated on news shows it will only be in the cause of protecting democrats.
Paraphrase: A situation that was too dangerous for FBI - trained law enforcement officers, to enter, was considered safe enough for a diplomat!
I haven't done sh!t! Why do they blame ME for their own troubles?
Sorry, I take a HIGH offencce to such accusations.
” They should not be allowed guns cause Barbara Walters said yesterday people who have guns tend to use them the wrong way.”
You mean that we all shoot ourselves in the head ?
: )
Replay on CSPAN-3 now.
Yeah, and then he passes the buck.
So, is it only 1 day of hearings, or are more scheduled? And if more, when?
Does anyone know?
It wasn't.
Hillary was trying to make an 'impression' by keeping a presence in Benghazi and Tripoli. Hillary was trying to help the Libyans keep their newly found freedom. Her ticket to the Presidency.
Barack (and Valerie) didn't want the Libyans to have their country back. They wanted the Muslim Brotherhood to take it over.
So.... they sabotaged Hillary's plans. Requests for added security were being thrown in the round file cabinet. Obama had the final say on military assistance.
Hillary lost that battle. This is why Hillary resigned.
The Chicago machine roped her in and used her powerful political ambitions against her. Her underlings screwed up because they were either incompetent or pawns under control of the Chicago/Muslim Brotherhood Machine.
Thank you. I don’t get CSPAN-3 but others can take advantage of that. When I can find it online I will listen to the entire thing. I heard the last hour and I would call it explosive.
does one have to ask your forgiveness before you give it?
Not sure.
