THERE IT IS. America is lost........
When will Issa, Chaffetz and all of Congress GET ON THIS? What are they doing?
They had one hearing and they promised more, WHEN? What are they waiting for? Why are they in not speaking to the Media?
We don't need this to break open after NOV 6th. We need it now and before Obama and crew can SCRUB that video.
I think I am going to be sick, waiting for results NOW.
If this was a Republican president, I can guarantee you that Pelosi, Reid, etc.,etc.,etc.,, would have FULL 24/7 face time with the media.

"This Is What Benghazi Consulate Really Was" by Aaron Klein
Maybe the Jihadis in Libya got pissed because Ambassador Chris Stevens was trying to get those Stinger missiles back. We will get them back all right—when they shoot down another TWA 800.
It now begs another question. Were the 'leaked' e-mails today that name Al Qaeda just another cover story for yet another 0bama lie?
That’s pretty common. I recall embassies and consulates being referred to as missions as far back as the ‘70s.
And Dims still try to make hay about Iran Contra....
Perhaps. But you really don't need to export arms and ammo to Libya; the country is awash in them. But collecting them and sending shipments of arms to Syrian "rebels" via Turkey is logical. What isn't logical is arming fanatical Jihadists. We did that in Afghanistan and that helped defeat the USSR, but it also turned poorly armed fanatics into well armed fanatics who hated us as much as they did the Russians.
I agree that Gaffney makes a compelling case. The theory about Syrian involvement is my addition to it. It seems to me that you need more than general hatred for us to put together a well planned attack on several buildings separated by a mile. They used more than rifles and RPGs; they used mortars and that takes set-up time and spotters. The attackers also included blocking units that tried to ambush our personnel as they traveled between the buildings. This sounds very professional, definitely not something cobbled together on the spur of the moment.
Imagine that you are a Leftist who doesn't like America because America has been "dictating" to the rest of the world. Imagine that you want America to have less influence in the Middle East and the region is in turmoil. Imagine that you actually admire the Muslim Brotherhood because you are sympathetic to Islam and are also sympathetic to their anti-Americanism. If you think like that wouldn't you support, with money and arms, regimes like the one that has taken over Egypt and may well take over Syria if Assad falls? Would you not avoid aiding the protesters in the streets of Iran a few years ago? If you were Obama, wouldn't that make sense?
I agree, that would have worked out better for them than the lie they told. The problem is that this interfered with Team Obama's claim that with Osama dead al Qaeda was finished off. So they came up with a story they figured the MSM would buy. Remember, for 3 days after the attack the "story" was that Romney's comments were a gaffe. Very little attention was paid to the attack with all the MSM's fire trained on Romney. Team Obama was so convinced that the MSM would cover for them and would broadcast any lie that they got very, very stupid.
Well, Putin is an ally of Assad. It's actually a possibility.
Not to get too conspiratorial, but if you are hiding the fact that you have warehouses of weapons going to Syria, would you think long and hard about sending a bunch of troops there who may blow your cover?
Then again, keep in mind that Obama was on his way to a fundraiser in Las Vegas and could not be reached for a decision.
