Questions on Benghazi
Washington Post ^ | 10/14/12 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 10/14/2012 6:58:58 PM PDT by cdchik123

Where is CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus? He seems to be the missing man in the unfolding Benghazi debacle. It is his agency, among others, which is being fingered by the White House for getting the Libya attack wrong. However, we know that within a very short time after the murder of our ambassador (an extraordinary occurrence) and others, our intelligence community did have the story straight: This was an organized al-Qaeda attack. Is he to preside over a witchhunt? Or is he, who to date has been one of the most respected national security officials, going to be instrumental in shining light on the Libya fiasco and thereby truly serving the national interest and the memory of those killed?

That’s one of the many pending questions bubbling over in the Libya scandal. But we finally be getting some answers. On Friday Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hold hearings on the Benghazi debacle. Those hearings can’t come a moment too soon. The questions are multiplying:

1. When, if ever, did Secretary of State Hillary Clinton become aware that there was a request for more security in Benghazi before 9-11-2012?

2. Who participated in briefing Ambassador Susan Rice before she went on the Sunday talk shows on Sept. 16?

3. Was the White House aware of the August Library of Congress report documenting the deteriorating security situation in Libya?

4. Was the Libya security situation included in any presidential briefings?

5. Did the CIA within a day or so determine there had been a planned terrorist attack? What did it do with this information? Why did President Obama continue to insist the attack was a spontaneous reaction to the anti-Muslim movie?

Why this anti-Muslim movie when so many other videos more offensive to Islam exist and have existed for years?

Obama and Hillary Clinton are in this up to their necks. Petraeus may be also. It centers on the missing missiles. You can bet the CIA was involved in overthrowing Gadaffi. I don’t remember when Petraeus took over at the CIA relative to the regime change in Libya. They may have all been played for suckers by al-Qaeda. Maybe the plan by al-Qaeda was always to get access to those missiles. We are going to pay for those missing missiles. Thanks to the Democrats, we are going to pay big for them. And they’ll turn around and use that money to fight us. This is the end of the Democrat party.

MEMO TO WASHINGTON POST
This Democrat debacle in Libya makes Watergate look like a whoopee cushion prank. You’d better get on it. Americans are dead.

Is he to preside over a witchhunt?

Is that the same as a Hillary hunt?

The CIA was busy in Bengazi listening for what they could find out about the missing missiles.

The NYTimes and WaPo stopped caring about dead Americans as soon as Obama was elected.

Hitlery will NOT spill the beans. She will no doubt "not recall" anything. Each day that goes by, with the News Media sitting on it, the scandal fades into oblivion.

“This is the end of the Democrat party”

You haven’t met my father-in-law.

He’s a walking contradiction - Catholic, loves America and is so invested in the lie, like Cindy Lou Who, if the Democrats drove up and emptied his house while he watched it wouldn’t shake his devotion so long as they lied to him so he had someone else to blame.

This was a cluster pooch screw but the question I’d like to hear put to Obama is:
“How many national security briefings did you attend in the week preceding last September 11, your Majesty?”
