The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement.
Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.
==================================================================
The Benghazi hearing today provided vivid evidence that the only way Obama would've seriously considered military intervention is if one of the people at the consulate was named "Jason Collins".
According to Democrats, there was nothing the most powerful military in the world could have done to stop a bunch of heavily armed movie critics in Benghazi.
Democrats were all over the airwaves complaining hysterically that today's hearing was a waste of time because there were no new revelations. They did this not long after the hearing began.
Democrat Rep. Matt Cartwright insisted "there was nothing new today. There was nothing today that we didn't already know about."
Democrat Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger claimed "Most of the information I've heard so far is not new."
At the hearing, Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings defended Obama's lack of a response to the Benghazi attacks. He insisted Obama had to allow Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans to get killed because U.S. forces were too far away to intervene in time -- a claim already thoroughly discredited since military assets were close enough to repel the second wave of terrorist attacks (or, as Obama insisted at the time, premeditated movie protests).
(Cummings's stance is a variation on the theme, "What difference does it make?" -- which will be Hillary's exciting 2016 campaign message.)
In fact, among the 'no new revelations' revealed at the hearing, whistleblower Gregory Hicks said that special forces were "furious" when ordered to stand down in response to the Benghazi attacks. Hicks was Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya.
Another new non-revelation revelation was an email sent the day after the attacks from State Dept. honcho Beth Jones, indicating the hail of bullets, grenade attacks and the burning down of the consulate was not an organized film protest.
According to Jones, "The group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists."
More:
-- Hicks testified that the administration's false claim that a non-existent movie caused movie-goers to go bananas with grenades hampered the FBI's probe of the attack.
-- Whistleblower Mark Thompson, acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Counterterrorism, told the committee that no one from the Accountability Review Board, most of whose members were appointed by Hillary to investigate Hillary & co., had interviewed him.
-- During the course of the FBI's exhaustive investigation of the attack, Gregory Hicks wasn't interviewed either.
-- Hicks also said that Hillary's chief of staff was furious at Hicks for cooperating in the investigation with a Republican Congressman, primarily on the grounds that the Congressman was a Republican.
At the time the media first installed Obama into office four-plus years ago, no one would have thought it a good bet that the crusading anti-Watergate set would happily don their clean-up crew uniforms, but here it is: "Benghazi: Incompetence but no cover-up". The National Journal article title serves as a proxy for the broader media response to Benghazi. Biden's 2016 slogan: "We're not criminals, we're just incompetent!" And if that doesn't work, there's always the pithy, "Death is a part of life: So what difference does it make?"
Good luck selling either of those.
Anyway, that's...

“......What kind of sick world is this, where the media is desperately trying to cover for an evil administration? The lying and coverup go beyond my imagination.........”
IIRC there was an article posted here at FR a year, maybe two years ago, exactly when I don’t recall, BUT the content was about the fact there are but six entities that own the MSM in this country. I think that is significant as in the article IIRC there were 50 entities/ownerships of the MSM in the 1960’s across the country.
Seems the fewer hands involved the tighter the control.
Nothing, but NOTHING, will be allowed to interrupt his reign and destruction of America, which is well-underway. The Controlling Power(s) That Be, will see to that. No exceptions allow or permitted.
This is the true face of evil... it is a power that really only God can thwart, the question is, will He? Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. America has crossed over from blessing to being cursed. God has removed His hand of protection from America, not necessarily from individual believers, but from a governing system that once was highly instrumental in protecting Jews. And was helpful while God brought them back into their homeland. Now with all the Jew hating and dissembling by the powers that be, I look for calamity to befall this nation, I am readying myself...
Nice double down.
Can candy find the transcript where hillary and obama left our people to die? Will she show this story on CNN? We need to ask candy these questions since she had the “transcript”!
Well said, JH2!
Good to see you contributing your 2 SENSE again!
“The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post”
That is a lie. The WH stood by its story from day one that it was a movie producer that is still in jail.
This picture would indicate that he was REALLY unhappy when this was taken.
Hehehehe.
Weasel words are our friends...
the President repeated this lie over and over again
the President repeated this lie over and over again
the President repeated this lie over and over again
the President repeated this lie over and over again
Then less ammo is needed.
Very well said, dear JohnHuang2! Thank you!
Thanks for the ping, JH2
One of the key questions that has never been answered is this.
Exactly why was the Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi on Sept 11, 2012? In a Consultate he knew was not defnsible.
The business he was conducting there is key to this whole thing. I will be dollars to donuts it is all wrapped up in secret deals for weapons smuggling to Al Quida forces in Syria.
And then it all went wrong and the Ambassador himself was offered up as a chit in the game Obama and his inner circle were playing.
IMHO, Obama, Hillary and several others are guilty of treason, conspiracy to kidnap and/or murder, obstruction of justice, and numerous other felonies and high crimes. They need to be impeached and then tried criminally...and if the first two stick and they are convicted of them, they should be executed for their crimes.
Americans are dead...American intrests have been sorely harmed. Our treasure has been waisted. Our enemies have been and are being abetted.
I pray congress has a spine. At least they are investigating and the truth is coming out. They simply MUST do something about it. We need several Nathan Hales, John Adams, George Rogers Clarks and Samuel Adams in the Halls of Congress right now.
Good one.
Too bad no one is listening. The story can’t get traction.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Reading your $.02 made my day!
It’s always a great pleasure to see you! ;-)
