    Re: Benghazi cover-up: 'This dwarfs Watergate'

    The big question is "Where was Obama during the many hours of the massacre?"

    You saw him in the Situation Room during 1) the SEAL raid on the pirates 2) the Osama assassination 3) and during hurricane Sandy.

    Nothing, and I mean nothing, on where he was and what decisions he made DURING the massacre. And, don't tell me he didn't know...this was an attack on U.S. soil against the President's own surrogate. This is the VERY time that a president HAS to lead...and he was "no where" ?

    General on Benghazi: 'This thing runs very deep'


    'There's something being hidden from American people'

    There has been no acceptable explanation for not rescuing Americans under siege in Benghazi, and nothing less than a special House committee investigation will satisfy the retired U.S. Army general who played a key role in organizing a letter signed by more than 700 special operations veterans in demanding the formation of the special committee.
    Retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin served in the Army’s special forces and in the Army Rangers. Boykin is now executive vice president at the Family Research Council, and he’s a member of the WND board of directors.
    He told WND the lack of action during the Benghazi crisis, and the lack of answers since, have been bothering him for months.
    “I’ve been working this since not long after the events on the 11th of September. That said, the U.S. Congress has been sort of ignoring all of our efforts to try and get some full accounting on this thing,” Boykin said. “I just simply reached out to some people that I knew had a deep passion for this, that would in fact bring a different dimension to it and that’s the retired special operations guys that spent a good portion of their professional careers preparing for and executing these kinds of operations. They’ve risked their lives for this. They’ve seen people that have sacrificed their lives to save other Americans, and I knew these people would come on quickly and would come on with deep passion.”
    Boykin said he and his colleagues directed the letter toward the House of Representatives rather than the U.S. Senate because there are already 70 House co-sponsors for a resolution calling for the creation of the same select committee to probe what went wrong before, during and after the Benghazi attacks. He is very cautiously optimistic that House leaders will approve the committee, but he cautioned the reaction over the next day or so will be critical in determining whether it will happen.
    The general agrees with Special Operations Speaks Co-Founder Larry Bailey, who told us earlier in the week that to this point House leaders have been somewhat complicit in allowing key questions on Benghazi to go unanswered.
    “If you look at the fact that the commander of the Africa Command, Gen. Carter Ham, has never been brought in to testify, if you look at the fact that there are at least 32 survivors of this incident and none of them have ever been brought in and questioned, if you look at the fact that one of those 32 is still in Walter Reed and a member of Congress has visited him twice but he’s never been asked to come across town and appear before a committee or subcommittee, this is inexcusable and it reeks of a cover-up of some kind,” Boykin said.

    Re: Benghazi cover-up: 'This dwarfs Watergate'

    Well here it is folks!!

    House GOP concludes Hillary Clinton blew Benghazi response...
    Report...

    House Republicans have concluded that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was responsible for cutting security at the consulate in Benghazi ahead of last year’s attack there, and that the administration lied about why it downplayed terrorism as the cause of the assault.
    A new report — the result of months of investigation by five different House committees — says there was plenty of intelligence that presaged the attack, but the State Department and President Obama failed to heed the warnings or give the Defense Department the authority to respond to such an attack.

    SPECIAL COVERAGE: Benghazi Attack Under Microscope

    The report exonerates the Pentagon itself, saying the military did what it could to respond once the attack began, but “was hindered on account of U.S. military forces not being properly postured” beforehand.
    In the most damning finding, House Republicans said Mr. Obama and his team lied about the attacks afterward, first by blaming mob violence spawned by an anti-Muslim video, and then wrongly saying it had misled the public because it was trying to protect an FBI investigation.
    “This progress report reveals a fundamental lack of understanding at the highest levels of the State Department as to the dangers presented in Benghazi, Libya, as well as a concerted attempt to insulate the Department of State from blame following the terrorist attacks,” the GOP investigation concluded in its 46-page report.

    Obama administration officials threatened whistle-blowers on Benghazi, lawyer says

    By James Rosen
    Published April 29, 2013

    At least four career officials at the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency have retained lawyers or are in the process of doing so, as they prepare to provide sensitive information about the Benghazi attacks to Congress, Fox News has learned.
    Victoria Toensing, a former Justice Department official and Republican counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, is now representing one of the State Department employees. She told Fox News her client and some of the others, who consider themselves whistle-blowers, have been threatened by unnamed Obama administration officials.

    Re: Benghazi cover-up: 'This dwarfs Watergate'

    Obama & Co have watched too many political movies in their lifetime. They think how movies run with coverups, ops, etc. is how you are supposed to do it.

    But really, it's just amazing that absolutely no one is coming out publicly, or even in the shadows, to confirm or refute everything.

    Let me clarify. I meant people who are on the periphery. Where's the White House/Congressional/military aide or Secret Service agent/secretary/etc. or any of the other hundreds (if not thousands) of witnesses to everything going on. Not just with Benghazi, but everything.

    I believe the biggest problem we have right now is the lack of ethics.

    As I understood it yesterday it's some of these types as well that are trying to come forward but your point is valid big time; "the biggest problem we have right now is the lack of ethics". And that I believe starts at the top with Obama to Biden to Hillary and down.....in this one.

    So far, it's just those directly involved. The drone operator(s) and their immediate chain of command. The Department of State (and likely CIA) personnel who were in Benghazi and other places in Libya before, during, and after the attack. The FBI and escorts who went to the site afterwards. The communications people who were relaying the situational messages that the PPOTUS and Klinton ignored.

    Re: Benghazi cover-up: 'This dwarfs Watergate'

    Hannity had a drone "pilot" on his show yesterday. Assuming what he said is true, then this is far worst than even I imagined. For one thing, the rapid-response team who would have/should have been called in to defend the embassy ALERTED the drone base that something was wrong. So, a drone was diverted to the embassy in Benghazi. It arrived just after the first wave of attacks, which had caused some fires and some damage to the facility, but as of yet there was no breach of the embassy itself. Ambassador Stephens and the others were barricaded inside and still mostly safe. The drone operator sent the images to the rapid-response team and to the State Department. Then 30 mins later a group of mooooslim terrorists arrived, armed with automatic weapons and RPGs and the second attack began. Again, video was beamed to ALL who needed to know. The rapid-response team had already made preparations and were waiting on confirmation for their request to go. None came. After Stephens was killed at the embassy, and the drone had clear and vivid video of his body being dragged out, the rapid-response team were airborne in helicopters and enroute to the annex, but they were ordered to stand down and return to base. About an hour later more Americans were killed in the attack at the annex.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up about this becoming a watershed moment for Obama. The media will sweep it away and the people that they inform will dismiss it.

    I think Hillary is going to take the fall for Obama. Then she will be elected president in 2016 and pardon herself.
