Elements of the February 17 Martyrs Brigade, the Libyan militia hired by the U.S. State Department to station members as residents inside the U.S. compound in Benghazi and to protect the U.S. diplomats there, were “complicit” in the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack that killed Amb. Chris Stevens and three other Americans, according to the testimony of Greg Hicks, who was the department's second-ranking diplomat in Libya at the time of the attack.

It's been years. What hasn't Hillary Clinton testified UNDER OATH?

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told NBC News’ Cynthia McFadden that she isn’t willing to turn over her notes on the Benghazi terrorist attack, and said that if the new select congressional committee investigating the issue wants them, they can “read it in the book.”

Her arrogance screams for a subpoena duces tecum, if she doesn’t comply imprison her.

Hillarys reluctance to SHARE... reminds me just a bit...of candidate John Kerry’s telling people to refer to his website when pressed for an ANSWER on his positions

Making themselves scarce just before the attack was suspicious. Like Hillary, they complained of not feeling well (enough to dodge mortar shells) and begged off, which kinda defeats their purpose of guarding the consulate, again, like the Secretary of State.
After the dust settled, hey—what difference did it make?
Well, it didn’t mean anything to them ...

Actually, they had already told State that they would not defend the consulate. The decision was to keep them on anyway because it was better to have the appearance of security than to make it obvious that there was none.

And yes, they were complicit, but they had already warned everyone they would be.

Who is complicit is whoever it was at State that decided to hire militiamen as security in place of a real security team, and who is complicit is whoever it was that sent the ambassador on that doomed trip without security knowing that the militia had already announced they would not defend him.

They physically opened the front gate for them, and the attackers audibly stated “Dr. Morsi sent us…”

Almost as casual an interaction as a pizza delivery.

IIRC, I remember hearing a report about Sean Smith posting to a gaming forum, on 9/11/12, ‘ in case we die tonight, one of our security detail has been taking pictures inside the compound today’. The fear they must have felt. And Obama and Hillary! Ignoring their pleas. THIS IS SICKENING!

Looked it up......’assuming we don’t die tonight. We saw one of our ‘police’ that guard the compound taking pictures.’ I remember hearing that State and Obama wanted Libya to feel we trusted them and that is why the militia was hired as guards. Could those two incompetents have made a bigger mess of the Middle East??? They need to stand trial as accessories to murder.

The “February 17 Martyrs Brigade.” Sounds similar to the Parker and Barrow Bank Security Service. This was a real stroke of genius. If banks had only thought of hiring Bonnie and Clyde to protect their deposits, just think of how more secure they would have been.

Daniel Henninginger has an excellent article in the WSJ, entitled, While Obama fiddles.

The gist of the article is that Obama is essentially capitulating the Middle East to the Islamists, who want to build an Islamic caliphate. After reading the article, it occurred to me that Obama is doing just. He capitulating to the demands that were laid out by Morsi in June of 2012 and reiterated by Mohammed Al Zawahiri and broadcast on CNN Canada the day before 9/11/12.

The demands were called a Peace Proposal, but they were essentially demands for a surrender by the US. The first demand was the release of all Islamic prisoners held by the US. Thus the Bergdahl swap.

The second was the removal of US military presence in the Middle East, which I believe to be the real reason that there were no Marines in either Tripoli or Benghazi.

The third demand was that the US stop interfering Islamic affairs and schools. (No schools for girls, but terrorist camps ok).

What Obama is doing is setting the US for a full surrender.

Bengazi ping.

I spent 7 months deployed helping my pilots bomb Libya.
We accompished what we were tasked to do.

Now Libya and Iraq and Afghanistan are worse off today.

Power, Clinton, Obama and Jarret and the rest of his incompetent team are to blame.

May Obama and Hitlery have nightmares of Navy SEALs wearing their skull masks leaning over their beds.

Imagine what the poor people in the US embassy of Iraq think. Obama will never admit defeat, so they do not even exist to him.

You think that 0bastard and Hitlery are “incompetent”? That they may be in a sense, but what happened in Benghazi is exactly what they wanted to happen, bar one detail: All the Americans were supposed to die. But two heroes saved a lot of lives, and doing so, lost their own.
