May 12, 201412 yr Probably because they actually believed this was about finding out the truth and getting justice for the victims during the first four investigations into the matter... but that ship has now sailed and Congressional Republicans are gearing up for a political fight with the White House and nothing else. We know what happened at Benghazi; we know how it happened; we know why it happened; we know who did it. This is now about whether or not the administration deflected attention for the attack's cause after it was already over for political cover. There isn't anything more to be found out about the actual events of that day and certainly nothing more that will be found out. Did you watch the video? If so, can you answer the questions that Gowdy asked the media? Nothing more will be found out about what happened as long as Democrats successfully obstruct the investigations. If there are 10 incriminating documents that are withheld from investigators, while 100,000 innocuous documents are produced, then there is no need to investigate any further, right? That, in a nutshell, is the Obama administration's strategy for dealing with every scandal.
May 12, 201412 yr Do you think our CIA was there dealing weapons with Syria I'm not following you here. The question is what was the CIA doing with at least two dozen or more people in an 'annex'. It will be interesting to see how much of this comes out. Whatever it was it was a 'covert operation' that is what the CIA does in other countries. Will the mission of this operation be made public? It is hard to say. Of the spectrum of speculation the most benign is that this operation to was recover Gaddafi regime weapons that were now in the hands of rouge groups. A less benign operation would be that of recovering weapons that the CIA had provided rogue groups to help overthrow Gaddafi. The least benign is a combination of the two and a process of shipping the arms to Syrian groups opposing Assad via Turkey. Regardless of the operation it is certain that the CIA function does not what it fully out in any manner. I would be surprised if the mission of the operation came to full light. As to the real time events - many people know what happened. But how far they will follow the truth is unknown. What will be the cut off point of the truth. We know that Ansar al-Sharia was responsible. But what is often glossed over looked is that that group only came into being after Gaddafi was deposed. In essence the US helped create this 'terrorist group'. Did we lose control of what was supposed to be a friendly operative group? Did it turn on the US (CIA) when the CIA tried to recover weapons from it? Did they have US weapons provided by the CIA - including US GPS guided mortars? I doubt this committee with get to far down this specific path.
May 12, 201412 yr Author I'm not following you here. Is the Obama Adm afraid that it will be known to the American people that they were supplying weapons to known terrorist in Syria to fight Assad. The weapons were being smuggled from Libya to Syria. If so the Adm would have to justify dealing and arming terrorist. Must have been a deal gone bad.
May 28, 201412 yr American citizens - 'depart immediately'. US recommends its citizens depart Libya 'immediately' The US State Department recommended Americans in Libya "depart immediately," in its latest travel warning on Tuesday. It seems Libya is deteriorating rapidly. It is clear that Gaddafi was targeted for removal by US and European countries and hence the help from NATO to ensure that happened. But it also seems that the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' - a common approach used in clandestine overthrows over the decades - is now, again, a problem.
June 13, 201412 yr Attackers used State Department cell phones to make calls to their HQ during attack. Calls intercepted in real time. Part on cell phones starts at 6:25. Entire interview is worth watching.

Entire interview is worth watching. Been hearing about this the last couple of days. This could really blow the lid off the entire situation.

There isn't anything more to be found out about the actual events of that day and certainly nothing more that will be found out. It is not just about finding all the details on the deaths of 4 Americans. It is to find out who is responsible for the failure to protect them, go to their aid and who lied to us and hold them accountable for their failures and lies.
