... According to a press release, three Congressional leaders sent a letter on Monday night to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, seeking documents related to the Dept. of State's Accountability Review Board (ARB) report on the failures that led to the attack that resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
"Unfortunately, the ARB did not address some important questions about the attacks in Benghazi, which we believe may contain crucial lessons learned for other U.S. facilities abroad to follow,
the letter states, citingthe boards failure to interview the Secretary and key deputies,
a lack of explanation for Under Secretary Patrick F. Kennedys apparent decision to withdraw the Security Support Team from Libyadespite warnings from the late Ambassador Stevens
and the decision to maintain an isolated outpost in Benghazieven with evidence of increasing violence in the area.
The letter is signed byHouse Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce, (R-CA),
House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA),
and House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT).

So what's Benghazi all about?
It's about
"WHO issued the 'STAND-DOWN' Order ?"
Read
Benghazi: Osama's Revenge on Obama, By James Lewis, October 13, 2012.
America may not have a memory, but the Islamists do.
They've got our number, and they knew how far to push.
They are not interested in you and me -- not yet -- but in the 1.4 billion Muslims who are quietly loving the revenge of Allah.
This is how al-Qaeda gets notorious, wealthy, and powerful.
This is how Islamists make recruits all over the world, including the West.
Now Islamist throwbacks own Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Gaza.
America is asleep at the switch, and Islamic fascists are on the march.
Women in the millions are putting on chadors, niqabs, and black tents,
not because they want to,but because they are afraid not to.
They are right to be afraid.
Our raving feminists are silent as the grave.
Remember:both our Cairo Embassy and our Benghazi Consulate were attacked, with a black al-Qaeda flag waving over the ruins for the international cameras.
Al-Qaeda's signature is simultaneous attacks in different places.
This was the biggest victory for AQ since 9/11/01.
We handed it to them.
Obama bowed down to King Abdullah in public.
Hillary has been videoed a thousand times walking with Huma, both wearing head scarves.
Signals.
In the Muslim world, if you send an openly gay ambassador to Libya,you might as well paint a target on him.
If you make Hillary -- the betrayed wife of President Bill -- your secstate,expect the outraged patriarchal pride of the throwbacks to take revenge.
You think Hillary being secstate is wonderful and progressive,and they take it as a personal insult and demand bloody revenge.
They are laughing at her now --a weak woman with a weaker president.
...
Hours before the Benghazi attack on Ambassador Chris Stevens, al-Qaeda released a web video from Ayman Al Zawahiri -- bin Laden's second in command.
According to the Israeli intelligence-linked news site Debkafile.com:
Zawahiri called on the faithfulto take revenge on the United States for liquidating one of the organization's top operatives, Abu Yahya al-Libi in June by a US drone in Northwestern Pakistan.
Its release was a "go signal" for the hit team to attack the US diplomats in Benghazi.
Why Benghazi?
Because al-Libi means "the Libyan."
Obama's U.S. predator killed Yahya al-Libi in Pakistan, and al-Qaeda takes instant revenge on our top diplomat in Libya.
Why the timing?
It was 9/11, hours after the United States held memorial ceremonies for the victims, broadcast around the world.
It may not make sense to us,
but it makes all the sense in the world to radical Muslims, al-Qaeda, Taliban, Salafists, Wahhabis, suicidal Twelvers, martyrdom freaks of Hezb'allah, and neo-Ottomans.
There are hundreds of these little sects around the world, all whipped up every Friday by the local imam, sheikh, or other revenge fantasist.

To: All
Obama is solely responsible for this.
Let's look at some of the facts.
Obama Arranged Benghazi Trip That Resulted In Murder Of US AMB Chris Stevens
Arms Flow to Syria May Be Behind Benghazi Cover-Up states: " During the 2011 Libyan revolt against Muammar Qaddafi, reckless U.S. policy flung American forces and money into the conflict on the side of the rebels, who were known at the time to include Al Qaeda elements. Previously the number two official at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Christopher Stevens was named as the official U.S. liaison to the Libyan opposition in March, 2011.
Stevens was tasked with helping to coordinate U.S. assistance to the rebels, whose top military commander, Abdelhakim Belhadj, was the leader of the Al Qaeda affiliate, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). That means that Stevens was authorized by the U.S. Department of State and the Obama administration to aid and abet individuals and groups that were, at a minimum, allied ideologically with Al Qaeda, the jihadist terrorist organization that attacked the homeland on the first 9/11, the one thats not supposed to exist anymore after the killing of its leader, Osama bin Laden, on May 2, 2011. "
Obama the arms broker to al-Qaeda states [this article is also well worth your time] : " Now we learn that Ambassador Chris Stevens’s mission in Benghazi on that fatal day was to organize the shipment of arms to the rebel militias in Syria.
And that means: the shipment of arms, by order of the President of the United States, to al-Qaeda,the terrorist organization which the President himself constantly declares to be the enemy of his country.
No wonder President Obama, Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the rest of the stoats and weasels have been lying their heads off and trying to put the blame for the whole hideous and tragic episode – for what amounts to an act of war – on somebody’s little video. Scraping the bottom of the excuses-barrel.
The evidence suggests that the Obama administration has not simply been engaging, legitimating, enriching and emboldening Islamists who have now taken over or are ascendant in much of the Middle East.
Starting in March 2011, when American diplomat Christopher Stevens was designated the liaison to the “opposition” in Libya, the Obama administration has been arming them, including jihadists like Abdelhakim Belhadj, the leader of the al Qaeda franchise known as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. "
SOURCES: SLAIN U.S. AMBASSADOR RECRUITED JIHADISTS
Egyptian officials say Stevens worked with Saudis against Assad
Was Syrian weapons shipment factor in ambassadors Benghazi visit? states: " Libyan-flagged vessel Al Entisar, which means "The Victory," was received in the Turkish port of Iskenderun -- 35 miles from the Syrian border -- on Sept. 6, just five days before Ambassador Chris Stevens, information management officer Sean Smith and former Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed
On the night of Sept. 11, in what would become his last known public meeting, Stevens met with the Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin, and escorted him out of the consulate front gate one hour before the assault began at approximately 9:35 p.m. local time.
the timing and the meeting between the Turkish diplomat and Stevens was "unusual."
According to an initial Sept. 14 report by the Times of London, Al Entisar was carrying 400 tons of cargo.
The cargo reportedly included surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles, RPG's and Russian-designed shoulder-launched missiles known as MANPADS.
It was reported there was a fight about the weapons and who got what "between the free Syrian Army and the Muslim Brotherhood."
'The point is that both of these weapons systems are extremely accurate and very simple to use,' Fox News military analyst Col. David Hunt explained. He said the passage of weapons from Libya to Syria would escalate the conflict. 'With a short amount of instruction, you've got somebody capable of taking down any, any aircraft. Anywhere in the world.'

Libyan Officials Claim US Was Warned 3 DAYS BEFORE Deadly Benghazi Consulate Attack
More details emerge on U.S. ambassador's last moments from CNN states: " Three days before the deadly assault on the United States consulate in Libya, a local security official says he met with American diplomats in the city and warned them about deteriorating security.
Jamal Mabrouk, a member of the February 17th Brigade, told CNN that he and a battalion commander had a meeting about the economy and security.
He said they told the diplomats that the security situation wasn't good for international business.
'The situation is frightening, it scares us,' Mabrouk said they told the U.S. officials. He did not say how they responded.
Mabrouk said it was not the first time he has warned foreigners about the worsening security situation in the face of the growing presence of armed jihadist groups in the Benghazi area. "

Benghazi: Symbol of Obama's Leadership
Obama Admits He Is A Muslim
So, let us remember.
Muslims are well know for lying about their faith.MUSLIMS are allowed to LIE and deceive NON MUSLIMS, if it benefits or protects ISLAM. Qur'an (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.
Qur'an (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves."
Qur'an (9:3) - "...Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters..." The dissolution of oaths with the pagans who remained at Mecca following its capture. They did nothing wrong, but were evicted anyway.
Qur'an (40:28) - A man is introduced as a believer, but one who must "hide his faith" among those who are not believers.
Qur'an (2:225) - "Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts"
Qur'an (66:2) - "Allah has already ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your oaths"
Qur'an (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which literally means deceit. If Allah is deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same. (See also 8:30 and 10:21)
Taken collectively these verses are interpreted to mean that there are circumstances when a Muslim may be "compelled" to deceive others for a greater purpose.
For a better understanding of the issue, read
HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ). then watch William Federer explain it, from Jan. 25, 2012 at CC Chino Hills, CA. It's a MUST WATCH for everyone,Christians, Athiests and even Muslims!
As retired military myself, I've seen the damage of "keeping secrets" about bad leaders.
Obama is EVIL, pure and simple.
Please watch
Glenn Beck with Trevor Loudon & his book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".
Then watch the 29 minute 13 seconds video
Trevor Loudon- An Urgent (and chilling) Message for America.
Obama may be feigning "incompetence," thinking he's too sly, being a "
wolf in sheep's clothing" since his mentoring was from
Fabian Fascism..
The
"Establishment Republicans" will probably NOT want to IMPEACH the TREASONIST Barack Hussein Obama II.
But it's better for the country that Obama suffer the penalty, the strongest penalty for his actions, and his inactions.
Let's look at the
Presidential Oaths of Office.
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States,
and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Now who among us really believes Obama did any of that ?
To Obama, that was
"Just words. Just speeches! "Damn him ! Damn him to hell !
I'll finish this with asking you to read
Watch the 18 minute 56 second documentary video
"Absolutely Uncertain" at
"theBLAZE.com" or on
YouTube.com, narrated by Irina, the 23-year-old Jewish New Yorker and a former Obama supporter .

Who ordered the security forces to stand down?
Why did the administration persist in blaming the attack on a video, even though they KNEW that it wasn’t the cause?
Why was there a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi in the first place?
What was the purpose of the meeting between Stevens and the Saudi representative?
Why wasn’t the facility secured immediately after the incident to keep sensitive information from being taken and to allow for a proper investigation?

“Don't know if the truth will ever be told. Doubt it.”
Among the Americans who were rescued from Benghazi and the military personnel who were prepared to launch a rescue mission, there must be a way for them to appropriately get the story told. Perhaps a Congressional committee could subpoena some of them?

My opinion?
"Who ordered the security forces to stand down?"
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF.
"Why did the administration persist in blaming the attack on a video, even though they KNEW that it wasnt the cause?"
This kills two birds with one stone.
First, Obama was appeasing the Muslim Brotherhood by jailing a verbal assault on Islam.
Second, Obama was attacking the U.S. Constitution's 1st Amendment (Obama loathes Freedom of Speech).
"Why was there a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi in the first place?"
So Obama could arm the enemies of the United States.
Obama is loyal to the King of Saudi Arabia, NOT the United States.
"What was the purpose of the meeting between Stevens and the Saudi representative?"
To take marching orders from the King of Saudia Arabia and coordinate movements against Israel.
"Why wasnt the facility secured immediately after the incident to keep sensitive information from being taken and to allow for a proper investigation?"
Because Obama didn't want a proper investigation.
Obama wanted Stevens dead, to cover Obama's TREASONOUS actions up.
Some think Obama was hoping for Stevens to be taken hostage, so he could use that in the 2012 elections as a sympathy vote advantage.
That's my opinion, for what it's worth.
Obama despises this country and is
"Collapsing The System" any way he can.
Obama serves himself, and Muslims all over the world.
He answers to Soros and to the Russians.
