Former Deputy CIA Director Mike Morell is sworn recently by the House Select Intelligence Committee. "The analysts said from the get-go that al-Qaida was involved in (the Benghazi) attack," Morell testified.
Why is Benghazi important to Americans?
You'll hear a lot about Benghazi in coming days and you'll hear the familiar screeching of partisan politics, now that House Speaker John Boehner has decided to convene a select committee to investigate the 2012 terrorist attack in that dusty fly-bitten town in Libya.
If the past is any guide, you'll hear Republican righteous vindictiveness and Democratic mockery and defensiveness. There will be so many politicians jabbering into microphones, so many practiced mouths curled into what is supposed to look like spontaneous anger, that you'll see right through much of it.
And then many of you will be tempted to turn away and tune out. That's to be expected. Some of the politicos are counting on just that. They're betting on it, and you should probably figure that some of the screaming isn't designed to inform but to turn you off to the whole thing.
One of the problems is that many Republicans have used Benghazi as a club. And many Democrats have shrieked that it was all about nothing. So much noise.
So little light, until very recently, when a few previously hidden White House emails were made public and things changed.
But first, remember that four Americans died there in Benghazi: Ambassador Christopher Stevens, U.S. State Department computer specialist Sean Smith and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.
They weren't murdered because they were Democrats or Republicans. They were murdered because they were Americans...

It would certainly explain a lot of things. Why the request for more security was ignored. Why those wanting to extract him were told to stand down. These traitors have blood on their hands..
Very interesting
They were murdered because they served under the least qualified President in history, elected because of his image and not his accomplishments.
From the outset I was convinced the CIA was running a weapons deal with al Qaeda or the moose slime brotherhood and the moose slime brotherhood or al qaeda got wind of helping the others and put a stop to it and took the weapons. I do not doubt that hatellary clintoon knew what was going down but did not expect a second terrorist group to step in. The lie about the video was to stop anyone from looking into who actually took what was intended for a different terrorist group.
I think it was a conspiracy to let soldiers die and Stephens was expendable, when things went wrong. There was gun running, missiles stolen, and the Muslim Brotherhood, an arm of Al Queda, were getting weapons from this group of traitors. Fast and Furious... Middle Eastern style.
The problem is that until there are some Senators/Reps with ba&%s, at least enough votes, all the evidence in the world will not get them arrested or convicted. There are so many skeletons in the closets of those who have the authority, that the blackmail from the info at the NSA will keep a lot of mouths shut out of fear. Integrity/honesty/courage have been lost.
FYI..I enjoyed the Whiskey Rebellion History you presented.
I think the kidnapping idea explains a lot. How they knew where Stephens was, why he was sent there basically alone, why no help was sent.. He was a patsy, and Hillary and Bam knew. This was directed from the State Department with an assist from the White House.
>We were arming the exact same guys who were shooting at us in Iraq.<
.
It appears more like an act of treason than just a mere scandal.
Nope. Folks are getting all worked over the video. It’s a nice job of deflection and all of the republicans are getting in lockstep.
The issue is WHY WERE THEY THERE?
This will drag out until it doesn’t matter.
Or the other way around on that last sentence???
actually, I guess trying twice got me in!
Or the other way around on that last sentence???
Absolutely... When so many are in bed together, who cares who goes first...
Thank you. :)
A lot of us have “known” or suspected our government was
sending Lybian arms to Al Quaeda. I’m wondering how much
of the money from the sales go to the man in the whitehouse.
That’s a lot of armament and a lot of money. Still some
of the ground to air is not accounted for.
Cannot read the column without signing up. NEVER
There is more to it than that. A retired 4 star admiral is saying that this was a joint operation by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Obama administration to get him elected by a creating a crisis. Than Obama would use force to get the prisoners taken by the terrorists and be a hero right before the election. Our people there foiled the whole thing by defending themselves and the attackers who thought they were going to just walk in and take our guys hostages would not defend themselves so as a result people died just to get Obama reelected. This is something that could blow Obama out of the white house before his term ends and put Hillary in jail. The Ulsterman report also stated that there would be a false flag incident right before the election.
If this were simply a mistake they would cooperate and get it behind them and out in the open. But, they don’t because it is far bigger than what it appears.
WHERE was our Dictator during the the attack on our Consulate in Benghazi?
WHY did he choose to do nothing and let our people be slaughtered?
WHO is involved in the ongoing conspiracy to silence and intimidate the survivors?
WHAT kind of illegal arms trafficking they were involved in that provoked the attack in the first place?
Or, what if he was set up to be kidnapped so he could be exchanged for the blind sheik.
Stephens never knew that he was an October Suprise!
