Now before I start getting labeled as right winger, Rep ect -( which most do on these forums as they want to sterotype people) I've been a registered democray for 37 yrs - but that doesn't mean that I can't have my own thoughts, ideas and concerns that don't follow the party lines.
Obama is the commander in chief. A commander-in-chief and is the person exercising supreme command authority of a nation's military forces or significant element of those forces.

I too question where Obama was during the attack.

All the facts cannot come out. There are some areas of what went on in Benghazi that are off limits to Congress questioning and Congress has been told that and are obliging.

I watched for a while ... until it became clear there was no investigation going on.

I will admit she began it in a strange way, but it did lead to a whole slew of other comments by both sides in support of making sure Hicks ends up with a desirable posting. Whether they have that ability or will really follow through, who knows.

Investigate, ask questions, and a hearing. If I am not guilty then go for it.

Democrats fighting this makes it look like they have something to hide.

Almost none of which genuinely have anything to do with the events of 9/11/2012.

It was responded to. It simply did not get the desired response, and in hindsight that was a mistake.

Asked and answered. AFRICOM headquarters G1 staff.

Because those were talking points provided at the time by the CIA.

It is interesting how many of your "unanswered questions" were answered months ago. Giving the Republicans the benefit of the doubt that they are not blitheringly ignorant, one must search for an alternative reason they keep asking them.

Cough... witch hunt... cough.

Well I don't think we'll see Rep Gowdy's questioning of Hicks many places. He pretty much spells out Rice as the scumbag liar she is. I wonder if she will plead the 5th before testifying to committee. Or maybe she'll have one of those fainting spells like hillary did?

Again... there was not a single military judgment call made during the events of 9/11/2012 that has proven in retrospect to have been the wrong call. The men and women making those calls deserve commendation for getting it right... not second guessing based on fantasy hypotheticals of what "might" have happened but did not.
