Lawmakers insisting on justice for
Benghazi attack on consulate

Washington Times, by Guy Taylor

Original Article

Posted By:Drive, 12/20/2012 7:06:21 AM

Key Republican lawmakers on Wednesday embraced the findings of the State Department’s internal inquiry into the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, even though its long-awaited report stopped short of probing questions of an Obama administration cover-up in the attack’s aftermath. The report by the Accountability Review Board noted that senior State Department officials ignored intelligence and security warnings that might have prevented the fatal onslaught on the diplomatic mission and prompted the removal of four department officials Wednesday.

Why didn´t they just make Benghazi a Gun-Free Zone, and ban assault weapons?

Obama and Holder want to ban them in the US while they hand them out everywhere else.

What exactly does "insist on justice" mean? Letting Hillary off the hook? Not mentioning Obama´s part? Not hearing testimony from the 30 survivors, whoever they may be?
No one fired, denounced, jailed? Congress at its finest.

"Justice", apparently, means arresting a suspect, then charging him through proper channels, and arranging for bail, an attorney, and a long, media-sponsored trial.

Who is the fourth person who resigned? Except for Boswell the other names have dribbled out slowly. First Lamb and now Maxwell.

"Ambassador" Patrick Kennedy should quite. He knew what was going on in Benghazi. He stuttered and mumbled, literally red-faced (but from anger), through the entire televised House Oversight Committee hearing in October where he and Charlene Lamb were on the hot seat. A pompous bureaucrat.

Hillary is off the hook again. Nobody will touch her. In fact, she very well could be our next president in the country we have now.

FTA:

Mr. Issa also said he is “deeply concerned that the unclassified report omits important information the public has a right to know,” including “details about the perpetrators of the attack in Libya, as well as the less-than-noble reasons contributing to State Department decisions to deny security resources.”

Translation of Issa: report doesn´t mention that the President with the help of the Sec of State was missile running to Syria and conducting an illegal unapproved war......that AlQaeda, his new friends, turned on him...and the reason there was no security nor any help came ...was because their illegal treasonous behavior needed to remain hidden regardless of lives lost...

Of more concern is the apparent FEAR the rest
of the politicians and the military are showing as they go along with this corruption and refuse to speak out against it...

Admiral Mullen appears to telegraph some
info and disgust "We had no forces ready nor would I expect we would have"...
Translation: These were illegal activities to be kept hidden and thus we wrote off US personal and our Seals...utter madness

I have an idea that even if the big shots, after sacrificing all the underlings, had to stand trial, the result would be: Holder assigns Hilary (or other big shot) with a battery of attorney´s--at taxpayer expense--to defend them. If all the lying, cover-ups, bribes, etc. didn´t work, a fine would be solemnly ordered by a paid-for (or threatened) justice. The fine would be paid for by federal money--acquired from we, the taxpayers. Yes, I think the entire system in our country has been polluted with corruption. The real perpetrators in this will skate.

Let´s face it, nothing will be done to the big fish. This is 2012 and our press is equal to Pravda. All they will cover for the rest of the year is Boehner´s "will he or won´t he" in the debt ceiling farce. Then they will shift to blaming Republicans for whatever happens either way.

Wait...wait...wait...
These State Dept pukes were the fools who denied proper security, hired unarmed muslins from the February 12th Martyr Brigade as security, pulled out he marine security, etc.
But these were all errors before the event.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING NOTHING DURING THE ATTACK? Who viewed the attack real time via drone cam and decided not to send help? Who decided to let those Americans die?
That had to be Obama.

I am tired of these liars. The USA did not have a consulate in Libya. That is an out and out lie.
FTA: Key Republican lawmakers on Wednesday embraced the findings of the State Department’s internal inquiry into the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, even though its long-awaited report stopped short of probing questions of an Obama administration cover-up in the attack’s aftermath.

"There was no embassy or consulate in Benghazi. It was a covert CIA operations center.

Wait, why do people continue to call it a consulate? Why is it identified on Google maps as a consulate.

First, it continues to be called a consulate because this is part of the cover-up. The government is STILL lying to the American people. The media is assisting in the cover-up, and so are some in congress in both parties. For goodness sakes, anyone looking at Google maps on September 10, 2012 will never find the Benghazi location named a consulate. It’s a LIE!"...Doug Hagmann, Canada Free Press.

Stop lying to us press and government officials.

Two things come to mind on Benghazi. First, this administration is doing the same thing Clinton did over the two Africa U.S. Embassy bombings in the nineties, namely they are treating this as a law enforcement problem which it is not. It is a national security problem. Why should we bring the perpetrators back to America to face justice and try them under U.S. law! Drop ’em where they stand. Problem solved.

Second, about a month or so before the attack, a detachment of national guard from Colorado was pulled and returned home according to Fox News hour long special report including an interview with the commander of that detachment. Why?

Not all the truth has been wrung out of Benghazi yet!

Four State Department managers fall on the sword while their boss Hillary has a headache and gets a pass. We cannot hold the presumptive 2016 Democrat presidential candidate accountable, it would tarnish her stellar reputation. I agree with Bolton, Hillary is a liar and is faking her so called "concussion".

Oh ya I´m so freakin sure that the terrorists (who are ALL law abiding ctizens by the way) would have would have most definately laid down their weapons if only they had made it a weapons free zone.... (Sarcasm totally intended) If they had made it a weapon free zone than the only people that would have even had any weapons would have been the terrorists maybe our soldiers should have just got down on their knees willingly and told the terrorists to go ahead and kill them, that would have made it just as easy for the terrorists as making it a weapons free zone.

#18 nails it. As long as they continue referring to the CIA Operations Center in Benghazi as a Consulate, the truth cannot come out. Consulate is part of the cover lie.

The facts just keep coming out of Ohio. It is hard to comprehend what they went through, those young women. What they felt while trapped by a monster through those lost years of their early adulthood is almost impossible to fathom. How did they cope? How did they get through each day? A close friend of mine was sexually abused as a teenaged girl. It was a man she knew. It lasted for years. She never told anyone — not her mom, not her friends. She didn’t tell because, like so many women who are abused, she blamed herself.

Journalists gasp and growl whenever prosecutors issue lawful subpoenas ordering them to divulge their confidential sources or to turn over potential evidence, such as notes, video outtakes or other records. It’s an attack on the First Amendment, It’s an attack on the First Amendment, It’s an attack on the First Amendment, journalists and their lawyers chant. Those chants were heard this week, as it was revealed that Department of Justice prosecutors had seized two months’ worth of records from 20 office, home and cell phone lines used by Associated Press journalists in their investigation into the Yemen underwear-bomber leaks.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Let’s see if we can unravel one of the great mysteries of the Obama Administration. The latest invocations of the Incompetence Defense from President Obama, Eric Holder, and now the departing Acting IRS Commissioner (hilariously described by the Associated Press as “ousted,” even though he’s leaving exactly when he was originally scheduled to depart, in June) hold that all of these super-genius leaders found out about various outrages by watching the news, along with the rest of us. They have no idea what their subordinates do every day, until it blows up into a huge scandal on the evening news, and that’s why they should be left in charge of everything.

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich, speaking to NPR on Friday, warned his party about overreaching in their approach to the trio of controversies President Obama is facing. While Republicans need to be relentless in their response, Gingrich urged a focus on facts. “I think we overreached in ’98,” Gingrich recalled, quipping, “How’s that for a quote you can use?” Which is not to say Republicans should not be persistent. “They need to be calm and factual,”

According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
