Benghazi Betrayal

I saw that video as well. I certainly understand his apprehension, with what we have in the WH and at the top of the CIA. There is no doubt whatsoever that this was a betrayal, not just of the people at the "mission" property; but specifically of Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty - who saved those people from being killed or taken as hostages by the muzzies (with all that that entails - think Beslan, on a smaller scale of course).

I would very much like for the truth about Benghazi to come out. From what I was able to ascertain, roadblocks were going up in the streets around the "mission" property long before the attack. Stevens was supposedly meeting w/a Turkish minister just before the attack. That Turkish minister had been allowed to pass through the roadblocks w/no problem. Then all hell broke loose.

And why, after this fiasco, did Gen. Ham find it necessary to "retire"? Something really stinks here. And a number of people have the blood of Stevens, his aide and Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty on their hands. Guess that's what happens when you have "security" provided by Ansar al-Sharia.

Coincidentally, that's same percentage who are devoted Honey Boo Boo fans.

The "change channel", and "mute" buttons serve me well. Off button works nicely too!

The Benghazi hearings are going on right now

Friend said they were on Fox News, I'm watching on C-span.org.

In case anyone was interested.

Prediction: With the focus on during and post- attack, some folks are really gonna be unhappy when Eric Nordstrom's testimony gets on the record.
