I have my doubts that this process is for real.

Meanwhile, the real truth and the real questions about Benghazi are going unanswered. Questions like: Where are the survivors and those who were evacuated? Why did the attackers know to attack the "Special Mission Benghazi Compound" and what were they after?

LibertyNEWS.com dares to ask, "Was the CIA Annex being used to facilitate the flow of arms to Muslim Brotherhood insurgents to destabilize Middle East nations, and was Ambassador Chris Stevens involved?"

It is now and has always been obvious. The CIA was running a black operation complete with heavy dudes. One would think ir probable that Stevens was involved at least indirectly.

And you are never going to get truth about that. Nor should you expect to.

The disinformation early on more likely came from the CIA and the intelligence community. And you probably can't find out that either.

It was designed to cover a direct attack on a CIA covert facility. Simply as that. And it did.

pokesalad4u2, you'd better stay away from that stuff. Certain times of the year it'll kill you.

I appreciate this remark. Because it is true. Government officials for the most part, are not beyond reproach.

I am not big enough or proud enough , to admit boths sides have many many flaws. For someone to actually suggest one side is better then the other, is literally cracked in their head.

History would suggest that politicians do come with flaws, and after in office, imagine this, some become corrupt.

A good Captain should be able to say "I have never lost a crew member"....apparently someone fell over the side of Obama's ship and he did not notice...and just sailed away.

Oh, you mean the current complete rehash ones that are nothing but a partisan witch hunt? Yeah, go figure the serious news networks aren't carrying those.
You are so wrong. The testimony of these three men was heartbreaking to me as they were obviously sincere and, I believe, felt the weight of what they were doing. There were new things brought out with the hearing. Did you not listen ?

Why do liberals always go with the accusations of mental illness when someone expresses an opinion that they don't share?

As someone who has been in such situations drawing those legendary "large" salaries, I would point out that some Librarians in California make more money than we do and they don't get rocketed or shot at. A pro ball player makes more in one season than we could make in 100 lifetimes. Your lack of gratitude for their sacrifice is disappointing.

People can (rightfully) hem and haw all they want to about the security screw-ups leading up to the attack and the glossing over the administration did afterwards, but the truth is this is nothing but political theater. If anything, these hearings are broadcasting our logistical weaknesses and area of operations for terrorist to use in future attacks. Did Al Qaeda know that the closest jets were with a carrier group in Italy, and that we had CIA operations in Benghazi? Well, they do now.
I read where one of the reasons it wasn't feasible to go in with air power was due to the fact that the compound (pick a word - compound, consulate, diplomatic mission, annex - all have been used) was due to the fact that it was in the heart of a residential neighborhood and there was a huge risk of killling innocent civilians, which would have back fired on the US and more than likely Libya would have sent the US packing. The US presence in Libya is not a military one.

Putting a compound in the middle of a residential neighborhood is no different than the Palestinians setting up rocket launchers in the middle of residential neighborhoods. They set themselves up to be targets.

WATCH THE HEARINGS.
You mean those witnesses that the Ds were referring to as being "emotional"? Referring to their emotions was reference to the state of mind of the witnesses and their ability to give accurate testimony.
