May God bless you and Ron and may he give you mercy and grace during this difficult time. I pray for Ron this morning. All the best to you Brad’s Gramma. Wishing you strength and courage.

Steve Hayes, Charles Krauthammer, and Susan Milligan discuss where the Benghazi investigation is headed.

Jump to the 53 second mark - Bret Baier leads a discussion on Benghazi.

He starts the talk about Gen. Carter Ham and a few tidbits that was leaked from the classified depositions from Thursday, 6.26.13.

Please tell me more. Very interesting. So, are you saying that based on your experience, we will never really get justice for what happened because the truth will be buried forever?

Time is passing and I am wondering if the three who will be deposed next week privately will just cover for Obama. I assume they will because if they had something different to say wouldn't they have stepped up before now. Petreaus knew what happened and he supported the WH in the aftermath of Benghazi.

Those who survived Benghazi haven't been deposed yet even though Issa requested their contact information weeks ago. It doesn't look like they are offering to come forward willingly. So, we know what they will say.

This is beyond heartbreaking.

LTC MICHAEL C. GIBSON

May 2012, Ltc. Gibson assumed a Department Chair and Professor position in military Science at Marquette university. So he received this position before Benghazi happened.

His bio at at the link but it doesn't mention Benghazi. It seems like he landed a very prestigious and well paid position.

Rear Admiral Brian L. Losey

Commander, Special Operations Command Africa Bio

Gen. Ham: "No order to Protect Consulate" (Video-Rep.Chaffetz)

It is a little over 2 minutes long but at the 50 second mark Rep. Chaffetz talks about speaking with General Ham after the Benghazi attack. My hope is General Ham is able to tell the committee what he told Rep. Chaffetz. Marines were available to go and help in Benghazi but no order was given.

"(snip)...Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette was in command of the Carrier Strike Group Three (CSG-3), then deployed in Middle Eastern waters during the attack on Benghazi.

Both Ham and Gaouette reported receiving the same desperate cables for additional security and backup that Obama administration officials received and ignored from Benghazi. They did not ignore those desperate calls for help ringing out from the Benghazi installation on 11 September 2012.

No, both Ham and Gaouette attempted to launch ready response teams in the region capable of provided the much needed assistance during the seven hour long assault on Benghazi. Both were then relieved of command for their actions, described by the US Military as “allegations of inappropriate leadership judgment.”...(snip)

BENGHAZI: WHERE ARE GEN. HAM AND ADM. GAOUETTE? We need Admiral Gaouette to come forward as well. Where is he I wonder? I will keep praying he will.

Prayers up for General Ham, LTC Gibson,and RADM Brian Losey.

I pray these men have the strength and courage to tell the truth, the whole truth, so help us God.

I don't believe anything that Obama or the UN are peddling.

There is no proof that 93,000 people have been killed either. This number is being repeated on all the networks as a fact. It is based on some guess from a woman in the UN. I don't trust her at all. She doesn't name her sources but supposedly there are 8 sources.

Her background is no surprise....pro-abortionist..big time...Harvard Law Grad from South Africa --- Navi Pillay. Looks like she has worked with at least one of Soros's companies-Open Society. I believe Soros and folks at Bilderberg want Assad removed period.It is about money and power for Soros, muslim brotherhood and others IMO.

If 93,000 have been killed wouldn't there be some pictures on the internet and there just isn't. I looked through over 100 pics and there is one grave picture shown with maybe 15 people in blue tarp but you can't see the people so you really don't have proof. Most of the dead bodies in the pics are of the rebels. I would think there would be piles of bodies somewhere is 93,000 people have been killed. I am just not convinced.

Sorry, I meant you and your wife. All the best.

May God bless you and Liam. I will pray for Liam, you and your husband.

Thank you God for giving Liam and his family your grace and strength to heal and overcome their difficulty. Thank you God for holding them close to you today and always.

What a disgrace...

Issa needs to expose the IRS for what it is. Issa is letting Obama get away with his talking points about the IRS. He refers to it as an "independent agency." It is not and he knows it is too. He is counting on not being called out on his deceit.

Obama and the Democrat Senators who used the IRS as a political weapon need to be held accountable.

The IRS Union needs to be exposed and abolished.

There is nothing peaceful about what is happeing to Christians in Egypt, Syria, etc. The Pope needs to be the voice of the women and children who are being tortured and killed in these Muslim countries.

When will he speak directly to the Muslims? I know it won't make a difference to the Muslims but it may give comfort to the vulnerable Copts in Egypt and Christians in Syria. They need his prayers.

"This administration has drawn together the lowest examples of American political culture ever assembled. They dishonor every part of our brave heritage and legacy of freedom."

So very true. At every turn, before..during..and after the tragedy, Obama and his ilk chose to take the dishonorable road and I know Woods and Doherty deserve better.

I always look at Benghazi as though I am standing there with Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty in the dark on that roof at the CIA annex with everything on the line. What brave souls they were...what strength they must have possessed to endure as long as they did.

I pray for them, I pray for their families and I pray for the survivors. I pray for all those in the military especially the ones who were involved on that night.I pray justice will be served at some point. Americans...all americans deserve the truth.

Perhaps you are right but watch Obama and his thugs answer any questions related to Benghazi. They are so uncomfortable and defensive. They immediately try to humiliate those who ask the questions. Ed Henry has been humiliated many times related to Benghazi. As you know this is classic Alinsky.

Obama seems to be overly confidant when asked about questions about the other scandals. Obama used his professorial tone when asked about the verizon scandal.

I believe Benghazi is the issue Obama wants us to leave behind just like he left our Americans behind.

I visual myself on the roof with Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. I imagine how they felt when they knew our military wasn't coming to help them to defend themselves and the other Americans. We can't let Obama get away with abandoning our fellow Americans. I have to keep the faith.

The alternative is too depressing. Maybe a miracle will happen and a brave military person will come forward because he can't live with himself otherwise. I know Woods and Doherty saved people who would otherwise be dead today so I have to believe there is one person who will get in touch with Issa or someone in the media to get his story on the record.

Benghazi is what Obama fears.

When will the next whistleblowers come forward? Congress needs to pay attention to Benghazi.

Obama and his press are happy Benghazi is fading in the rear view mirror.

Exactly. When will we hear from more Benghazi whistleblowers? Is Issa getting distracted or is he working with deposing these people first. I wish there was a next step announced or some update.

So who controls Libya's oil production now? Is it Muslim Brotherhood?

I know Iran's rebels are in Benghazi as well, but your post has really made me think about what is at stake for Obama and Clinton with their cover up. Thanks.

Oil production in Libya drives their entire economy as you know.
