House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would not say whether Congress should investigate why no Marines were stationed at the diplomatic posts in Libya, where a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed, and who made that decision, saying only that he suspects the ongoing investigation by the FBI “will take a look at that.”
On September 11, in what the Obama administration now says was a “terrorist attack,” the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya and a nearby safe house were attacked and Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other embassy personnel were killed. There were no Marines stationed at the consulate or at the main U.S. embassy in Tripoli, despite the fact that Libya was in political transition after a revolt that overthrew dictator Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011. …
At a Capitol Hill press conference on Friday, CNSNews.com asked Boehner, “Speaker Boehner, do you think Congress should investigate why there were no Marines at our diplomatic posts in Libya and who made that decision?” Boehner said, “I suspect that part of the investigation underway will take a look at that. While we typically have Marine detachments at our embassies, that isn’t always the case when it comes to our consulates.

Boehner has $18M in his re-election kitty but Akin has very little and the GOPPER’s refuse to help a potential R Senator. Is this a Party worth a spit? I’m done with these creeps including the flailing Mitt!
Yes, we should rely on the guys investigating their BOSS to be truthful.
Boehner ducks? More like Boehner sucks, big time. A more incompetent Republican Speaker of the House would be hard to find. As his second anniversary as Speaker approaches, and with a solid Republican majority in the House, this idiot has accomplished virtually nothing while allowing Obama to continue running roughshod over our country with his Executive Orders and massive spending.
A weak sister like Boehner is why so many people feel that our government no longer cares about right or wrong.
Boehner is too weak to stand up to the traitors of the Democrat Party.
That makes him as complicit as the democrats in the downfall of America.
How pathetic Boehner is. Not a real man or a real American. Just a sad sorry schlub.
That USELESS, POS, RINO, WUSS, Girly-Guy is now going to force me to have a couple more adult beverages just to calm down.
Does anyone doubt if the situation was reversed the RATS would not already have scheduled hearing(S).... as is multiple ones?
Here the STOOPID Party is handed an issue sure to hurt Dear Reader and they do what?
Diddle as usual!
Bear in mind that Boehner is the guy who laughingly admitted that he had no idea what was in the GOP platform and he didn’t think anybody ever read it anyway. The only thing this RINO knows to do is get out of the way let the Dems do what they want.
Actually, I think the correct term for Boehner is "EX-boar hog", he having had those characteristics for "boar-hog" status removed long ago. The term for that is "barrow hog".
The only benefit of the cultural revolution, is that on our way to hell, certain hangups will be lost and the Democrats will no longer be able to blackmail sissies like Boehner.
