Well done!
There were only a couple things I remember that aren’t included here, and that I thought were relevant. Maybe others can add more.
1. Greg Hicks stated that when he provided testimony to the ARB there was no stenographer present, nor any recording devices. He was never allowed to see the final ARB report to know whether his witness had been transcribed correctly. When Issa asked him if he thought that might mean his testimony contained in the ARB report could have been inaccurate or editorialized, Hicks replied in the affirmative.
2. Hicks said that, while he had lawyers present during his ARB testimony, others who provided testimony did not. He also said that no other person he had spoken to that gave testimony to the ARB board had been allowed to see the final report that included their “presumed” comments.
2. Hicks stated that there were additional surveillance cameras still lying around in boxes at the Benghazi compound because no one had ever been sent to install them.
IMO, #9 points directly to one man and one man only: President Obama. #9 is shocking. This should be a President’s very FIRST act upon learning we are under attack. One precision guided missile launched from an F/A-18 (night attack) outside the the front gate of the consulate would’ve scared the living sh!t out of the bad guys. Just the shock wave of a high-speed fly by might have even done the trick. They’d have no idea what was coming next and would’ve scattered like rats.
But survivors at the base were afraid to retrieve the body because the hospital was one under the control of Ansar Al-Sharia whom Beth Jones initially fingered as the terror group responsible.
So WHY DID THEY SAY THEY WERE FRIENDLY LOCALS?
Excellent ‘cliff’s notes’ summation!
This is very helpful!
Bump.
Thanks for posting this.
A list .
Candidate for Breaking news?
Here’s what I don’t get. There has been testimony that it was too late to send in help, they could not have made it in time. In time for what? How about the simple idea of securing an American embassy, searching for survivors in need of medical care, retrieving bodies. There should have been troops airborne within moments of hearing there was an attack. If the only resources were hours away, it was that much more important to get a head start. Assessments and plans could have been made in the air.
The President and his Dept. heads, wanted these survivors dead. They were hot-running arms and got caught, by feuding Islamic factions. Who in turn, gave their common enemy, an embarrasment of unfolding proportions. The complicity of Our Goverment with jihad, is full and complete.
Guy Benson is now guest hosting the Hugh Hewitt show. 3-6:00 PDT. He just had on one of the Rep committee members from the hearing. I forget his name - the one from Ohio. I recommend the program.
This is probably the least destructive aspect of this debacle, but the results of this lame cover up narrative have never been quantified before this hearing from a 1st hand witness (Hicks, 2nd in command).
