Part 2 - The Security Failures of Benghazi

On October 10, 2012, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing entitled, "The Security Failures of Benghazi" to examine the state of security at the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Libya prior to the assassination of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and his colleagues on September 11, 2012.

So no one is watching or commenting? This is just as controversial as Watergate. Hard to believe. The attacks on the embassy in Libya are a clear failure of the State Department. How can anyone defend the failure to provide physical security for our people? Regardless of political views, it is only common sense to provide security. The big mistake of the administration was to deny it was a planned attack.

It's a sham to call this terrorism. What broad definition of terrorism are they using here? Is it terrorism just because the attackers were Muslims?

Still no one is asking why General Ham's rescue team was told to stand down, not once but twice, and then relieved of his command when he later ignored the stand down order. Something stinks to high heaven. Even the two seals who came to their aide were originally told to stand down. So basically there were only two people at the CIA safe house, ambassidor Stevens and his aide.

Unreal isnt it. Our President partying it up as our men died needlessly. It was almost like he went out to celebrate their deaths. I was so shocked he did not cancel his trip. If that were Bush and he did that they would be screaming for his head on a plate. I dont care Dem or Rep I JUST WANT THE TRUTH! I want it before the elections!
