Congressional subpoenas have been issued for witnesses on The House Oversight Committee and Government Reform hearing The Security Failures of Benghazi, Libya, September 11th, 2012, Muslim terrorist attack. This hearing will begin Wednesday, October 10, and has included Lt. Col. Andy Wood, Utah Army National Guard Green Beret who led a 16-member Special Forces site security team responsible for protecting U.S. personnel in Libya.
It has been reported that this 16 member SEAL team was removed from Benghazi one month before the deadly attacks where US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens died and 3 other Americans.
Two other witnesses included are Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary for international programs at the Bureau of Diplomat Security at the U.S. Department of State, and Eric Nordstrom, a regional security officer, also from the State Department.
US State Department Head Hillary Clinton remarked,
No one wants to determine what happened that night in Benghazi more than the President and I do. Nobody will hold this Department more accountable than we hold ourselves.”
Now, it is revealed that the US pulled out a 16 SEAL team security one month before the attacks?
So Obama and Clinton could pose for this photo with 4 dead Americans?
Does treason come to mind?
Oh wait, Clinton is waiting until after the election, to conclude the investigation?
No wonder Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) of the House Oversight Committee are working so hard to figure out how the State Department could be so ill-prepared. And why Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is setting up her own review board.
But this just adds a new layer to Team Obama’s weeks-long coverup. Per Foreign Policy magazine: “Clinton asked Issa to withhold any final conclusions about the Benghazi attack until the review board finishes its work, which could come as early as November or as late as early next year.”
Either way, after Election Day. And likely months after Clinton is safely out of office.
Which is a craven dodge of responsibility.
But the families of those killed and wounded know better.
That’s the real verdict, no matter what Clinton’s Dodge-the-Guilt Board may find.

What really gets me is they pushed the “video” as the reason at the service for these heroes when they knew it was a terrorist attack. How low can this administration sink?
Romney needs to address this as he speaks on foreign policy tomorrow.
I really question Obama’s fraudulent Administration. Clinton should have resigned 9/11
How Obama live with himself as it looks as this assassination was planned way in advance?
The Ambassador sent out a cable?
Murdered ambassador sent cable warning of threats on day of Benghazi attack
The brinksmanship is detailed in a cable approved by Ambassador Chris Stevens and sent on the day he died in the attack, the worst assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission since the 1979 hostage crisis in Iran. The dispatch, which was marked “sensitive” but not “classified,” contained a number of other updates on the chaotic situation on the ground in post-Gaddafi Libya.
The cable makes no mention of the anti-Muslim YouTube video or planned protests at the consulate, two key pillars of the Obama administration’s initial narrative on the 9/11 attacks.

This shows the incompetence of everyone in this under this fraud Obama. I hope the famlies sue the US gov’t. like yesterday. How could they look these famlies and continue to lie to them.
CSI Benghazi
Futile and pointless best describe the FBI investigation of the consulate attack.

They were sent into an unsafe country so Obama could look strong. Obama has never been strong.
Why didn’t the White House Tell Americans the Truth?
State Department: No video protest at the Benghazi consulate
In fact, Stevens hosted a series of meetings on the compound throughout the day, ending with a meeting with a Turkish diplomat that began at 7:30 in the evening, and all was quiet in the area.
“The ambassador walked guests out at 8:30 or so; there was nobody on the street. Then at 9:40 they saw on the security cameras that there were armed men invading the compound,” a senior State Department official said. “Everything is calm at 8:30 pm, there is nothing unusual. There had been nothing unusual during the day outside.”

Just breaking news! No wonder Americans don’t trust the MSN. Doesn’t ABC ever investigate? How stupid they look.
I have listened to this and the people who are in charge should be fired. How dare they say they didn’t think they were in danger when they were being told they WERE in danger. How dare they allow this to happen. If you didn’t have to money to send security, get them the hell out of the country!
I find it so disgusting that they lie and say they didn’t say something when it is on video. What is the hell wrong with them? All we get from the admin. is lies and more lies.
Who would vote for someone that just lied to the whole country? How could anyone trust Obama?
These men are true Americans. Telling the awful truth. Obama and Clinton should both be shown the door now!
Poor grieving Mother! Dear God Help Her
Obama Lies, People Die
How could you treat a Mother of a Hero like this? Obama has no concern about people, unless they would vote for him, this is a travesty. This reminds one of the Fast & Furious debacle. Why would any Mother of a child that serves overseas vote for this fraud!
You blamed it on the video. State Department, CIA you got called out?
Liars, Yes, it is a cover up?
The Intel Behind Obama’s Libya Line
Why did it take eight days for the administration to acknowledge the 9/11 attacks in Benghazi were acts of terrorism? An unclassified briefing document provides new clues, writes Eli Lake.
Unclassified documents from the Central Intelligence Agency suggest the answer may have to do with so-called talking points written by the CIA and distributed to members of Congress and other government officials, including Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. The documents, distributed three days after the attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, said the events were spontaneous.
