...When the CIA’s acting director, Michael Morell, testifies Thursday before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, he is expected to say that the agency never requested Europe-based special operations teams, specialized Marine platoons, or armed drones on the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official...

...That differs from what Fox News reported almost three weeks ago, and which has gone virtually unchallenged in the vacuum of official explanations about Benghazi since. Jennifer Griffin reported on October 26th, citing sources that were actually “on the ground” in Benghazi during the attack, that the CIA contingent repeatedly requested assistance — but were told to “stand down” twice by officials in the CIA chain of command...

This simple, IF the CIC was in the situation room or even being briefed on the situation in Benghazi, he is immediately and irrevocably responsible for decision-making during such a crisis.

I want to see Obama’s ass brought in for questioning, he is the center of it all, and it needs to happen.

That’s what we all want. Odds of it happening are not high..though I hope at LEAST there are people in power who ARE asking that.
