WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans who insist the Obama administration is covering up information about last year's deadly assault in Libya say their goal is to get answers.

Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Wednesday that the three State Department witnesses at the hearing deserve to be heard.

The Sept. 11 attack at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Gee, I saw DemocRATs at that hearing too. Wasn’t it a House hearing? Yeah, the Republicans have a majority in the House but does Yahoo call Senate hearings DemocRAT hearings?

So AP doesn’t believe the Utube excuse wasn’t a coverup? Could they be any more obvious?

Oh, OK. Accountability for the deaths of Americans working in service to their country is controversial. Got it.

On Hannity Juan Williams just said "Video? What Youtube video?"

The Media will hide behind the veil of politics and avoid the facts presented by the whistle-blowers.

The toads in the “media” are really upset over this. They’ve got to protect their man child. Those wascally Wepublicans are being Wepublicans again.

They know in the end the finger of guilt points directly at the commander in chief; you can’t run a play without the quarterback.

Can the death of Chris Stevens be considered a hate crime since he was gay ? and is this administration culpable in this hate crime ?
And is this administraion trying to hide it since it was a hate crime against a gay person ?

Pray for America to Wake up

Yes pray for a great awakening. That's all well and good but I for one am also praying for God to punish the wicked. The sooner the better.

Glad you mentioned this .... I saw him say it, too. “Video? What video?” .... with a wide-eyed, “I know nuthink” sort of look. Absolutely, totally DISGUSTING. If looks could kill, he’d be on the floor from Michelle Malkin’s glowering and she also looked like she was about to throw up.

As you said, Juan was a preview of how the Progs are going to re-spin the now provable lies told to the American people by Obama, Hillary, Rice, and just about everyone else who’s had their mugs in front of a camera with the exception of these patriotic guys on the stand today.

If they can’t debunk or spin the facts coming out they will just flat say “that never happened.”

Yup. I’m thinking eventual justice is going to be very slow developing (certainly not fast enough for me), but what has been heard today cannot be ‘unheard’ ... the testimony of 3 patriots, the excellent questioning by most of the Repubs, and the despicable attempts to discredit the witnesses & cover for Hillary/Administration by the Democraps.
