WASHINGTON (AP) — The night of smoke, chaos, gunfire and grenades that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, is well-documented. Eight months later, it is the decisions made back in Washington that remain murky and in perpetual dispute.
Why was a diplomatic outpost left so poorly protected? Should the Pentagon have rushed jets or special forces to the rescue when the assault began? Did President Barack Obama's administration obscure the true nature of the terrorist attack to help him get re-elected?
Congressional Republicans are poking for evidence of incompetence and cover-up in the ashes of the Sept. 11 anniversary attack. Obama dismisses their probes as a politically driven "sideshow."
The release this past week of 100 pages of government emails and notes is the latest fodder, as numerous Benghazi investigations continue.
A look at the issue:

WHY NOW?

Okay. Must admit to not being quite myself today. You are right.
“WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE CIA ANNEX? It is like the media KNOWS that question will start the chain of events that will bring down Obama, and they just can’t ask the question.”
Why do you think that?
Maybe because it was a CIA post and they didn’t want the FBI to know what they were up to !
The “missing” survivors if CIA don’t want to blow their cover and their careers by coming forward
Still doesn’t mean what we were doing there was legal. Think IranContra
Whew, your first sentence made my heart jump, lol.
Guess I still have some ‘hope’ that some of them want to expose the truth. I’m praying so, anyway.....:(
No big deal. Regards.
Because there was a reason Chris Stevens went to Benghazi, which was extremely dangerous as has been made public.
What was the meeting with te Turkish Diplomat about?
What was the CIA annex for?
NONE of those questions are being asked by the media. When the media doesn’t ask questions, it is for 2 reasons:
1. They don’t think it is relevant. Absurd on this issue.
2. They already know the answer and won’t like the results of asking the question.
All we need to focus on is a 4 letter acronym: FEST.
I'm gonna be a little pi$$y here. What survivors? Have YOU seen them? I haven't. The administration and MSM say there are survivors, but I don't much believe ANYTHING they say anymore. So again I ask, "What survivors?"
Connie Cass, you bootlicking slut, sit down and shut up. You are dishonoring the patriots who died that night by trying to make a political football out of it in order to protect the lying sonofabitching treacherous bastard boy you worship and adore. YOU, Connie Cass, are the face of the fifth column enemy in America, and there are too damned many of your treacherous ilk.
That is the crux,, ehh. resources available , fueled, and ready on 1 minutes notice or less. dereliction, abuse of power, no matter what you call it,, ambassador kennedy won;t be taking any more 3am calls, or placing them.
I think the reason these types of actions are 'classified' is the American people would be screaming from the rooftops what a colossal waste of money these boondoggles were..."QUIT WASTING OUR MOENY"...
Arab Spring? Was there really anyone who thought that would work? It was stupid. The people over there knew if the masses got the right to vote they'd vote in the Muslim Brotherhood or worse. How come our guys didn't know that? It shuure ain't rocket science. And having troops play social worker - building schools? Is that nuts?
We had ONE example that worked - Japan after World War II. That should have been the model. Not upper class English romantic travels to the heathens to bring civilization... expecting love and gratitude. Hillary was surprised the "heathers" weren't grateful for us 'freeing' them. Yikes that's patronizing. And stupid. Almost as bad as Biden taking credit for keeping black college graduates out of chains. What color is the sky in their unicorn world?
And worse yet we don’t know if the drone that relayed live video feeds was armed or not!
If you take a close look at the drone featured in the photo it does not look unarmed to me.
Trouble is I don;t know how to prove an unarmed or armed drone at Benghazi one way or the other maybe some of the rest of you do.
Did anyone hear the snarky comment Obama made to the press corps. when the marines walked towards him with an umbrella? He said .........”YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN”.
The image at your link is an AP (Surprise!) file photo. It may not even be an image of the same TYPE of drone talked about in the article.
Let’s face it. Aside from the three witnesses at the hearing last week, ALL our information has come from the administration and/or the MSM. Not a wholebunchalotta credibility there, eh?
