Don’t give them too much credit: Keep asking yourself why they weren’t on this 4 months ago.

She kept the ruse alive and gave it her own smarmy emphasis...

Here is a video of Rep. Chaffetz saying that Gen. Ham, commander of AFRICOM at that time, told him that assets were near enough to help and ready to go.

AFRICOM leader General Carter Ham was never given the order to secure the consulate in Benghazi. Youtube 1:43

Gomez is a liberal obama supporter with all the integrity of a rabid hyena.

An Admiral in the Med at the time was removed from command shortly after...

I forget his name.

[“My fellow counterterrorism professionals and I (were) not consulted.”]

The White House apparently panicked when the consulate came under attack. The main concern was not with the U.S. personnel in Benghazi but over potential political repercussions. Obama may have envisaged a repeat of Jimmy Carter's failed rescue of Iranian hostages. Or he may have feared an armed U.S. incursion into Benghazi would damage relations with Libya. So he decided to do nothing and hope for the best. The issue was confined to the “most senior national security officials” because they are political appointees. Had the Counterterrorism Security Group been convened they would have followed established doctrine which would have involved a rescue attempt followed by tracking down the attackers and destroying them.

Gomez is a liberal obama supporter with all the integrity of a rabid hyena.

Yeah that may be so. But we got Liz Warren, who may be to the left of Kerry, and so is Ed Markey. So what do you do? Gomez and former Senator Brown are still at least 50% to the right of those 2 would have vote to organize the Senate against Harry Reid. Romney would have won with the same turnout against Obama in '08. Conservatives are on a narrow beachhead right now and in '14 losing the House will be devastating.

Purity is a virtue,but Goldwater '64 had to wait 16 years for Reagan in '80. We can't wait that long now.

[concerned about politics]

The admin WANTED those people dead.

It seems like that to me. What ever they were doing there was never suppose to get out to the public.

Fast and Furious was designed to blame Americans for guns in Mexico and help push for stricter gun laws once the dead started showing up. That wasn't suppose to get out to the public, either.

[X-spurt]

I’ve been saying the dems deep down do not want more klintoons. That is why they jumped on nobama regardless of his qualifications, Anyone But Clinton.

Its clear now why Hitlery was “allowed” to resign. If she ever got elected that lowdown bitch would make even nobama look like a walk in the park by comparison,

TREASON - continuous, pre-meditated, in-your-face, media-complicit, agency-abetted, representative-enabled, ongoing...

Condolences to your families. Condolences to your friends.

[bramps]

Gomez supports Obama on immigration, gun control, gay marriage, and he wants abortion laws to remain just as they are. That's the kind of republican your kind of thinking has given us. They actually try to out liberal each other. I think your logic is a guarantee that we eventually go over a cliff. We may go over either way. I'm going over with my integrity intact. The sooner folks like you realize that conservatives have been pushed too far and help us push back, then the better the chances of avoiding that cliff. ___________________________________________________________ And we all know what happened in Benghazi (including Gomez). And he hasn't said a word about it in defense of his 'brothers'. If he's willing to cave on the killing of innocent babies, just what line do you think he won't cross?

…Counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help in the attack. National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CBS News the CSG was not needed.

[Eagles6]

Don’t worry, the spineless Repubs won’t do anything with it anyway.

[kristinn]

Some FReepers, vets and others who heed the call will be inside and outside the Rayburn Building on Wednesday for the hearing. Details here if you'd like to join them.

[kabar]

but in fact Aviano is closer to Bengazi than Tripoli is.

The air distance between Tripoli and Benghazi is 400 miles. The air distance from Aviano to Benghazi is 1043.76 miles.

[matt04]

Excellent analogy.

[kabar]

I'll see if I can make it. I already have the sign, which I used during the 2012 Presidential campaign

OBAMA LIED

"Why did Obama and Hillary make a commercial about that film?"

Good question.

[rawcatslyentist]

Supposedly he's in the slammer.

Any bets he gets a free clandestine one way trip to Mecca someday?
