A Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee says it makes no sense to participate in the select committee that Republicans want to create to investigate the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.

Rep. Adam Schiff of California says he’d recommend that Democratic leaders not appoint any Democrats to the committee that Speaker John Boehner is moving to set up. …

So, 60% of the American people want answers on Benghazi and all the demoncrats can do is circle the wagons, apply Alinsky tactics, and ignore the will of the people. It’s like were dealing with children here.

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?

Then there is the matter of the guy they still have in prison for posting an anti-raghead video on YouTube

This tells me a lot. Think: if there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to Benghazi, and the Republicans were setting up the select committee, Democrats would be ALL OVER IT with TV cameras, setting up for the campaign commercials. 2014 would be ALL BENGHAZI ALL THE TIME.

The fact that they're running from it, belittling it, impuning anyone for wanting to look into it, and recommending not being involved tells me they KNOW that it was far worse than the public has been yet told.

I'm still waiting for someone to ask which White House peon dreamed up the "anti-raghead video" scenario in the first place...and upon whose request?

Nakoula is not in prison. Out since last summer. Convicted of intent to manufacture meth and bank fraud.

This is a serious question. Originally, I heard that Obama and Biden were on the phone with Netanyahu the night of the attack. There are references to that online. I don’t know how credible.

Anyway, I always thought that perhaps the Israelis, or even the CIA had valuable “assets” in that mob that they didn’t want killed or exposed. So, they just let it go and hoped for the best. Sort of like the legend of the bombing of Coventry in WWII.

Has anybody else said anything similar?

Didn’t expect the Dhimmicrats to react any other way.

What a despicable bunch — the truth always hurts them.

Interesting, thanks for the correction.

Didn’t know he was a Coptic Christian either.

He’s on probation now, but interesting that the DOJ grabbed his ass and threw him in the slammer BECAUSE he made an anti-raghead video, then kept him there on some trumped up charge that he violated the terms of his probation

He’s also been sentenced to death in absentia by Egypt

There has got to be a lot more to the Nakoula story.

I think they are imitating the Nation of Islam with their “the Honorable Elijah Muhammad” rigmarole.

The democrats sat and watched 4 men die. How is examining what happened a waste of time? Only a democrat would try to hide their filth in this mess. He sure is one!
