RSO Nordstrom is a strong and articulate witness. DAS Lamb not so much. U/S Kennedy so-so.

Nordstrom: “For me, the Taliban is inside of the building.”

I worked directly for Pat Kennedy for three years. He is a creature of the building and will do the bidding of whoever is SECSTATE. His responses reflect what Hillary wants and demands.

Hillary has now said it was a terrorist attack. It will be interesting to learn from the intelligence community why they towed the Administration line for three days. Petraeus was saying the same thing for the first few days. It is obvious this was the party line.

Trey Gowdy and Sandy Adams were the stars of the hearing. They asked the right questions and drew the right conclusion. If you don't have the facts or evidence, you don't go out proclaiming that the video was the source of the attack. You wait until you have all the facts. The President of Libya said it was a terrorist attack a few days after 9/11. When confronted with this by Wallace, Rice responded that our intelligence was better than his.

On September 13, McClatchy reported, "No protest before Benghazi attack, wounded Libyan guard says"

As far as Lamb is concerned, she is a career employee and served abroad as an RSO. She appears incompetent and out to sea. She must have been part of an effort to put women in high level positions.

Not the same Kennedy.

That’s ok. I made a very bad comment because I thought it was the former rep from RI. I had to have the moderator remove it.

I posted on the ABC wall and they deleted my message!

Alan,
That is a bs comment! They have 88 security personnel in Iraq of which the threat is minimal and they couldn’t place some of them in Benghazi for our Ambassador? How about all the bodyguards that surround Valerie Jarrett? What does she need security for - who is she? Obama’s personal advisor????? Don’t you get what this man is saying? The Taliban is in the building - don’t you wonder what he means by that? Then enemy is already working within our administration. Why do you think that? Look at Hillary’s secretary - muslim brotherhood sympathizer, Valerie Jarret *Iranian* - Obama - one wonders. His ring is a Muslim ring that he has been wearing since the 80’s. Hmmmm..... The enemy from within!

Now why would they delete that message? Truth hurts?

To me the Taliban is inside the WH and by extension, because of our congresscritters’ deep silence, inside Congress.

I sure appreciate your insight. From out here in fly-over country these two sure seemed clueless as to what their own words made them sound like. Dumb and dumber, they did Obama or Hillary's State no favors today.

It took a huge set of solid balls to say what Nordstrom's said at the end of that hearing.
His statement as well as those from the good Colonel Wood are going to have ramifications that the Democrats are not going to like in the least. Ranking member Cummings was rather subdued. He knows the score.
