Is anyone asking about this?

The GRS team that was present at the CIA annex provided security for the CIA station, as they do around the world. They are highly trained in countersurveillance, close target reconnaissance and in depth reconnaissance. Enemy fighters have learned in Afghanistan and Iraq to use their cell phones to follow or intercept these “passive” lasers without having night vision or NODS.

The Annex team also had Ground Laser Designators, or GLD. This kind of laser equipment emits code and signal when there is overhead air support, unmanned aerial surveillance, drones or Spectre gunships, for instance.

A source present the night of the attack says that the GRS team that was defending the annex asked where the air support was at midnight. Former SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed 5 hours and 15 minutes later.

No kidding.

Donnelly is actually FEEDING them their answers. Disgusting.

They have no regard for the American public or the patriots who gave their lives so that they could sit on their duffs and try to pass off this crap to us.

Nelson is the worst. I’ve had serious trouble listening to the democrats today, but his blathering was horrid.

Bill Nelson up, smiling like a he has dementia, and tries to make a timeline that Panetta can agree to with “Yes” answers.

Ten minute recess, then second round of questions.
Nothing in Nelson’s questioning on when the 37 Americans were rescued or where they were rescued. made it sound like a brief firefight at the consulate, then nothing for hours, then any attack at the annex.

Did not sound like that from what I have read.

On break now laughing and giggling like kids on a playground. It makes me sick that this is so effing funny to these crooked SOBs.

I don’t know exactly what I expected or when I will ever learn. Maybe never. I guess I just can’t understand evil like this.

folks, this is all bullsh@t. Stevie Wonder could have foreseen a problem and prepared accordingly. These jokers are going to skate, unless someone nails them with a moment by moment admission of what happened and who decided what to do or what not to do.

LOL. thank you for the first smile I’ve had today. So far, noone is making them show any evidence, asking who was in the situation room, what they saw, etc.

Onyx, see my tag line. Watching his testimony was the last time I was this angry. Mr. Nordstrom was correct.

I am hoping that Graham does not disappoint on the second round. Nelson’s version of events was to absolve the dynamic duo of the complete lack of military response.

And when was Obama updated on the situation?
This took place from 3:30 pm to. Midnight Washington time, not late at all.

Everyone was out to lunch on the whole event, and this is supposed to be OK?

Unreal.

Truth be told, these people have all worked together too long.

They're all from the same circle, so they're not going to actually nail the guilty parties or go full throttle hard for the unvarnished truth.

Americans would be better served if ten of us were doing questioning.

Except, the CIA wasn’t *at* that safe house (ha!) in Benghazi...instead, the State Department was bypassing the CIA by having one of its Ambassadors, Stevens, do whatever 0bama wanted done in Benghazi.

Stevens wasn’t CIA. Stevens was State Department.

The *scandal* of death at Benghazi is that the State Department was running a covert op at Benghazi instead of using the CIA.

Why was the CIA bypassed?!

You’re exactly correct, on all counts, including your tagline.

No, this is the Senate Armed Forces Committee.

Brennan will be before the Senate Intelligence Committee (yeah, I know,what intelligence?)

Some Senators are on both.
