EXCLUSIVE: Benghazi hero fought alongside fallen SEALs, still recovering at Walter Reed
Fox News ^ | 7/25/2013 | Catherine Herridge

Posted on 07/25/2013 2:46:56 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

One of the most severely wounded survivors of the Benghazi terror attack, Diplomatic Security agent David Ubben, risked his life to help save his fellow Americans, and is still being treated at Walter Reed medical center to this day, Fox News has learned.

Fox News is the first news organization to make direct contact with Ubben -- who has had multiple surgeries at Walter Reed to save his right leg, which was badly wounded in the Sept. 11 attack.

Fox News has also learned new details about Ubben's heroic actions on the night of the attack, including fighting alongside the former Navy SEALs who were later killed.

The Diplomatic Security agent, earlier in the night, helped recover the body of Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, going back into the smoke and flames at the Benghazi consulate multiple times until he found Smith, whom he believed to be already dead from smoke inhalation.

Fox News is not publishing his photo in full, out of respect for Ubben's request for privacy as he remains focused on his family and his recovery alongside America's wounded warriors from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Benghazi mother Pat Smith was on Cavuto today. She said she does not trust Obama now since he said this is phoney. She vows to warn people not to vote for HIllary if she runs for Pres. I will not shut up about this. I will open my mouth everywhere and say “Don’t let her do this to other people!”)

Let us hope Mr. Ubben does not encounter a sudden, unexplained demise in a governmental controlled medical facility...that would prevent any testimony.

That WAS a stunning segment. Do you think VJ decided on the ‘phony scandals’ narrative? How stupid was that?

I absolutely despise Jay Carney, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Barack Obama, et al! DESPISE THEM!

This is a REAL scandal and most people know it. Cowardly congress people are not doing their jobs if they don't get to the bottom of this SOON, along with all the other REAL SCANDALS like the IRS!

Anybody but the MSM 'savior' barack would have been impeached by now.

0bama's Unconstitutional NLRB appointments is a scandal. Then, not rescinding them after two Federal Courts rule them Unconstitutional is even MORE of a scandal.

0bama's falsification of the BP oil disaster report where scientists concluded that the moratorium be kept in place was a huge scandal because FRAUD was committed, and some of the scientists were PO'd that their conclusions were altered to support 0bama's moratorium.

That's the tip of the iceberg. LOL
