Watch this through, especially to around 4:50 and beyond.

Richard Grenell, former spokesman to the last 4 US ambassadors to the UN, points out that the presidents of CBS news and ABC news both have siblings that work for the White House on foreign policy directly related to Benghazi.

CNN covered the hearings some, but not much. CNN's deputy bureau chief Virginia Mosley is married to Hillary Clinton's deputy, Tom Nides (sp.).

This video makes a lot of sense.

I've watched/read a variety of news reports on this issue and I cannot for the life of me figure out what is being alleged to have been covered up.

Enlightenment would be welcome.

First, a reluctance to save Americans in harms way, likely for political reasons, or at the very least, incompetence. If it is proven (as many people from Navy Seals to gov't workers in the know have stated) we had military assets that could have ended this between the first and second attack, then what was the reason why no help was given? Was it truly because assets were not available? Was it because it had the potential to become a PR disaster should action be taken and not have a positive outcome? The fear is that decisions were made based on re-election, rather than saving lives. Let a few people die instead of putting Obama's campaign in jeopardy.

Note the timing of all this, nearing the re-election campaign of Obama, and the implications such an attack would have meant on his image. The administration tried very hard to avoid using the word "terror" for specific reasons. And they told us over and over again for two weeks that the bombing was due to a video. This, now that ABC News has found dozens of re-writes as proof, was bull and Obama's people knew it.

Obama and his people were caught in a lie. There is no other interpretation which makes sense And it was a lie that has everything to do with national security for Americans abroad.

Do you actually trust this guy??? As an American living overseas, I now question whether he will actually have our backs should something happen with NK.... he might start drawing imaginary red lines that mean nothing in real life, but that's yet another story. Or he might poo-poo a story and make up some false scenario to help his party avoid political scrutiny.

This administration falsified a national security issue for political gain. That is what this is beginning to look like. And that is a very serious thing.

I haven't followed this issue that closely but I assume it hasn't gained traction in the media for two reasons:

1. They are being careful because of its impact on national security.

2. They haven't found an angle on the story which has excited their viewership (maybe because of #1)

Personally, I am not too worked up on the issue because the Republican Party seems to be putting enough pressure on Obama to clean up whatever errors took place.

Yeah falsifying national security statements:: the Niger yellowcake that wasn't. Oh that was bush.

the WMD's that SAddam had stockpiled , still never found. Oh that was Bush too.

Assets in Italy , to get them to Libya in time would have been a miracle. You do know where Italy is thats in europe, Libya is in Africa.

The real story here is that Repugs have taken the bodies of the dead Americans and made political playthings out of them.

Assets were sent, a C.I.A> team was sent.

Thank you for the response, swampfox.

Further evidence of this being nothing more than an attack on Clinton:

AP is reporting Issa will hold closed door meetings.

Ya-ta Boy, this has been going on far longer than the Hillary post-Obama election plan by the Democrats. The unnerving thing for liberals is that it is no longer FoxNews asking all of the questions. Now its ABC News and others who are uncovering even more evidence and churning this thing up.

The woman couldn't win 5 years ago, and that's why we have this unvetted nut as president now. She stands even less chance of winning in 2016 in any case. At best she would be used as a side-show like she was to take the heat off of the next wonderboy speechmaker who has no record.
