will appear at a classified, members-only briefing with a House Armed Services subcommittee

Kind of gives one a warm and fuzzy feeling that nothing is being hidden.

Good, if it his last day before retirement, then he can tell the truth to the subcommittee, and not have to worry about being penalized by the Obama Admin, as he is retired as of the next day. They won’t have any time left to pimp him.

It must be just another coincidence that a person Congress wanted to talk to was unavailable for some reason or another. /sarc

If there are any Americans left in the Pentagon,
WAKE UP!!!!! You swore an Oath to a Constitution,
and not a tyrant.

al Qaeda does not need MANPADs.

Narcoterrorists do not need Fast&Furious weaponry.

Terrorists who bombed the Pentagon do NOT deserve your help!
The American people do.

Read an article this A.M. and if true the Pentagon is history ... zer0 and his crowd have replaced all not loyal to zer0 per the article. Whether the article is true or not true ... I do not know.

Congress is where facts go to die.

Without a congressional select committee or special prosecutor, this ain’t going anywhere.

Anybody else getting sick of this same old DC insider BS of these congressional insiders protecting the other DC insiders? Everyday that goes by where a special prosecutor is not assigned to investigate is an indicator that they plan to play out the clock and that nobody will ever be held to account for this administration's abandoning four LIVE Americans undergoing an attack by muslim terrorists. What will result of these phony hearings, the same as in the F&F hearings, is that they will announce the hearings have given them insight how to avoid a repeat incident. What a bunch of effing cowardly sell outs this bunch in DC are. Although those in DC have a negative value on this country, yet they value their own asses at the expense of us and the survival of the USA. Pouring hot tar and then covering them in feathers would be TOO good for every last one of these elite DC traitors.

First question: Who has talked to you in advance about today’s testimony and what did they say?

yep ... and they are not concerned. We (the serfs) have no power. It was all done by design and implementation of a plan of which we were unaware. Now that We the Serfs have figured it out, their thought is So What ... What Difference Does It Make? .... sad, but true.

Another 'members only' briefing, closed to the public? This is worse than White House tours! When everything goes 'secret' with the public cut-off from the truth, the Dictatorship becomes more deeply entrenched.

Egypt knows what happened in Benghazi. Morsi's/Hillary's involvement is captured on video with one man shouting "Don't shoot.. We were sent by Morsi".. A staged kidnapping of Stevens to give 0bama the excuse he needed to release the Blind Sheik. Two SEALs ruined the plan when they engaged with live fire.

We want the TRUTH about Benghazi. 0bama has gone to great lengths to divert America's attention from what happened there, including the video lie. Something BIG and DEEPLY DEEPLY DAMNING TO OBAMA happened that night and it's NOT the gun running theory.. It's something far far worse and involved an 'election bounce' hostage taking stunt that backfired in their faces.

Make no mistake; HILLARY WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THIS PLOT. She was the deal broker for 0bama and VERY VERY close to Morsi. I think 0bama is throwing money at Egypt as HUSH MONEY. No matter what, he INSISTS on giving Egypt the money, regardless who is in power. What coup?

"The Pentagon told CBS News on July 5 that Bristol, the commander of the Joint Special Forces Task Force-Trans Sahara, could not testify because he was retired."

FIRE, IMPEACH, COURT MARTIAL WHOEVER SAID THAT.

I agree.

As long as Holder is AG there will be no special prosecutor.

So that leaves the select committee...

It is somewhat like wishing on a fallen star and thinking the outcome will be one would have wished for.

Officers may be recalled to duty at any time. You are never really retired.
