New Benghazi Website Brings Facts Straight to the American People

Posted by Speaker Boehner's Press Office

February 5, 2014

A terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012 cost four Americans their lives. To date, no one has been held accountable.

The families of the fallen – and the American people – deserve to know the truth. They deserve justice.

Shortly after the attack, Republicans asked the Obama administration to explain its actions surrounding the attack, as well as the fact that publicly-available information consistently contradicted the White House’s characterization of events.

After being stonewalled, House committees began a serious, exhaustive, and deliberate investigation into what led up to this tragic event, what transpired, and why the White House refused – and still refuses – to tell the whole truth.

While the White House continues to stonewall, we have established a new website – GOP.gov/Benghazi – containing all of the unclassified information and findings from this ongoing investigation.

This site brings the facts straight to the American people by way of hundreds of pages of documents and transcripts the White House doesn’t want you to read.

The investigation is ongoing, and the search for the truth continues, so new documents will be added as they are made available.

My suspicion is that it was as much laziness and apathy as it was political calculation. It just didn’t register as anything important to him.

Taken from an interview posted on ABC News website here President Obama Begs Off Answering Whether Americans in Benghazi Were Denied Requests for Help Posted on October 26, 2012. A local Denver journalist, Mr.Clark, pressed again.

Were they denied requests for help during the attack?” he asked... .

[snip]

“Well, we are finding out exactly what happened,” the president again said. “I can tell you, as I’ve said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and we’re going to find out exactly what happened, but what we’re also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks.”
Everything he says is in past tense. He is cornered and has no teleprompter. I believe he was AWOL after the 6PM email that stated that the attack had stopped and the consulate cleared.

Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to.

So if the very first "order" was to do whatever we need to. Then why wasn't thank done? Who did he give that directive to? Why didn't he answer the question with "We couldn't get help there in time?" Or whatever the spin is now.

He had the Do Not Disturb sign on the bedroom door of Reggie because this was supposed to be hostage taking for a October negotiation for Stevens release to make him look good for November....

If that is true then it makes sense because no one could give the authority to launch an international cross border military action but the CIC so all they could do was tell them to stand down.

And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. You lie!

It really is a huge amount of information. It’s good to have one place where it can all be found.

I want Boehner to launch a select committee full subpoena powers, but I’m glad he set this up in the meantime.

“I want Boehner to launch a select committee full subpoena powers, ..”

We all did months ago. This isn’t “meantime” this is supposed to be end game. I can’t imagine the swift action taken had Valerie Plame died in such a way as Amb. Stevens. I wish I could remember some Hillary quotes from the Plame affair and compare them to “what difference does it make!” The state controlled Apparatchik will make sure this isn’t a problem at the breakfast table, that it didn’t make a difference only serves to identify racists and extremists. Boner doesn’t care, he really is trying to secure his place in the Democrats’ future.
