Whistle blown on Benghazi
By Jordy Yager – 05/08/13 08:14 PM ET
Government whistle-blowers on Wednesday choked back tears as they offered stark criticism of the administration’s handling of the terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
One witness faulted the State Department’s review of the attack — saying it appeared aimed at protecting higher-ranking officials.
A second witness said United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice’s remarks blaming the attack on an anti-Islam film were shocking and offended the Libyan government.
Former Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Hicks told lawmakers on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee that the film was unrelated to the attack. He said the comments frustrated Libyan officials, causing them to purposefully block for 17 days the FBI from entering the country to investigate the attack.
“I was stunned, my jaw dropped and I was embarrassed,” Hicks said of Rice’s remarks.

We are literally going to have to hear about this until the next Republican President is sworn in, or until the Senate Majority Leader is a Democrat.
yes Rob an US Ambassador was murdered because of what appears to be total inaction and incompetence , then the the public was lied to on national TV and that lie was supported and carried by the US media , if it was Bush the cowards in the media would be screaming , so you better get used to it ,it is going to get a lot worse
Rob, this has less to do with a Republican being president and more that Hillary Clinton is NOT the Democrat nominee for 2016.
The Obama administration is the most inept in history and Benghazi is just another example of how lame they are from top to bottom.
Also, the last time I checked, Harry Reid is a Democrat.
Step 1: Protect Obama’s reeleaction campaign. Have Clinton say she takes responsibility, but then don’t actually have her take responsibility.
Step 2: Protect Clinton’s Presidential aspirations for 2016.
Step 3: If things get to hot, trot out a patsy to take the fall so that Clinton’s chances for 2016 are not impacted.
Step 4: Paint Republicans as anti-woman for attacking poor Hillary Clinton for purely politicqal purposes.
Step 5: Elect Clinton.
Step 6: Complete fundamental transformation of USA into European-style Socialist nation. The good-old USSA.
