In Libya: Why the Benghazi Investigation Is Going Nowhere
Time World ^ | Jan. 10, 2013 | Vivienne Walt

Four months after a brutal assault on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi killed the ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, politicians in Washington are still railing over how diplomats were left vulnerable to attack. Yet the political furor, which now threatens to hold up President Obama’s national-security nominations, stands in stark contrast to the response in Libya itself. There, Libyans say, the investigation is nonoperational, if not effectively dead, with witnesses too fearful to talk and key police officers targeted for violent retribution. “There is no Libyan investigation. No, no, no,” says Mohamed Buisier, a political activist in Benghazi, who returned home in 2011 after decades in the U.S. “There is not even a will to investigate anything. Even for us civilians, it is very dangerous if you talk about this subject.”

Perhaps the Congressional committees can inquire with Hillary whether these police in Benghazi are being knocked off because of a youtube video.

I heard they were killed with weapons we sent to liberate Libya, and the CIA was there to get them back and send to Syrian rebels through the Turks.

I also heard it was a kidnapping of the ambassador that went bad. Obama wanted to exchange the blind sheik demanded by Morsi for the kidnapped ambassador. When it failed, witnesses had to be eliminated. I think that was what Peter King tried to tell today, but Megan Kelly interrupted.

They were expendable, so Obama didn’t cry over them. He saved the fake tears for the Sandy Hill massacre because it was the worst thing he had ever heard, and it fit in with his gun grab. I’m sure Hillary/Obama will tell. sarc

I will feel safer when all gun are in the hands of either criminals or the dictatorship. That is democracy.

My questions about Benghazi relate to the White Hut Situation room, not to Libya. I’ve heard enough about what happened in Libya.

Well, it's pretty much the same in both places. The book is already closed. It is just being handled differently over there, than here. Over here, the public is given a pacifier (a 'hearing' and 'appearance' of an investigation), whereas over there, the public is given a bullet if they open their mouth.

Both methods are working.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Obama skated on Fast and Furious.

Obama, also guilty of lying on Benghazi also plans on getting away totally free of anything.

Fast and Furious was a liberal plot to attack the 2nd Amendment by showing Mexican gun violence was caused by US guns. Obama caught with his pants down around his ankles but nothing has been done.

Benghazi: Obama's ARAB SPRING: not about democracy but about overthrowing govenments and replacing them with radical Muslims, Al Qaeda that is, Muslim Brotherhood.

It's called treason. Obama will never be tied to it, it's too obvious and simple to see but Americans get their news from fools, and the fools in the press are not going to tell the truth.

So, another country butchers four American officials and we do absolutely nothing about it. Not a single thing.

Well-stated. TREASON...in real-time, pre-meditated, continuous, ongoing...

—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

This treason rings from the White House through the Pentagon.

After the 911 Atrocities, these traitors armed al Qaeda
with MANPADS, and the US Congress, in response, bowed to
Mecca and cashed their checks.

Benghazi will go away, just like Fast and Furious went away.

Everything the Muslim does goes away.

Because he owns the Media.

How can you tie Obama to treason when he appoints a traitor to be Secretary of State and the Congress will vote him into that job?

We need to wipe the slate clean and start over.Vote out all incumbents.

The feeding frenzy on gun control is being used as a diversion.

It was Hillary that orchestrated the “spontaneous” lie.

The “spontaneous” lie is nothing more than an attempt to make it appear as if the terrorist are so in tune with the news they can pick up on a news story then plan and carry out an attack in a matter of minutes.

Problem for Hillary, in order to orchestrate the “spontaneous” lie they had to plan the protest in Egypt to take place before the attack.

Little Miss Hillary has been caught. She planned the attack in order to create the “spontaneous” lie.

and of course the lame-hear no-see no-speak no-media complied as they cashed their checks being bought to hear no-see no-speak no. The American People shall hear no-see no-be spoken no truth too per media. The programing of subjugation of the People moves another step toward reality. Poor media. I want to see the looks on their faces when the media learns the truth, and realizes they were useful idiots.

Obama is committing treason by sending the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood the 10-20 F-16s. Morsi has sworn to kill Israelis. The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist group.
OBAMA IS COMMITTING TREASON BY HELPING OUR ENEMIES.

Perhaps we need to get the churches, NRA, GOA, etc. to start a boycott of violent movies. If enough participated, Hollywood would demand Obama drop gun confiscation and maybe attacks on the first amendment.
