Now Republican Senators Also Want A Benghazi Select Panel
Soon, they’ll have had as many panels investigating Benghazi as they’ve had votes trying to overturn Obamacare.
In a letter released Thursday by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the 37 Republican senators said the Senate only has a “partial view of the facts” about the attacks on a U.S. compound that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
“Congressional oversight is crucial to understanding what happened before, during, and after the attacks, so we can be sure we do everything in our power to prevent future attacks,” the senators wrote.

Well that first one didn’t count!
I’m waiting for the Dubya “bipartisan” Senate Select Committee on (list all 13 attacks resulting in over 50 deaths here) …..
Where is the intelligence in this Intelligence Committee?
Miss Lindsey is trying to get elected – at this point, she’ll say anything to dog whistle her rabid followers. Perhaps she’ll even allow them to peek in her own closet? (I think Miss Marcus is hiding in there).

Does getting to the truth bring anything to mind, so far concerning Benghazi we have had the two-step by those of you in the Senate or the House of Representatives. Instead of those who are elected to represent the American people you are representing your party and not the people. The truth has been buried and in place of the true you have political buffoonery taken its place.
The purpose of the committee is determined if there’s any wrongdoing and getting to the truth, and correcting any faults. But the Democrats are more concerned about keeping the Democratic Party from looking in a negative manner.more concerned about the end each of the Democratic Party than they are getting to the truth and their willing to defend at any cost that image.
While the Republican Party seems to be more bent on giving political speeches than they are getting answers and this too is a disservice to the American people. We expect the committee to get answers to what had taken place in Benghazi you may have had 13 committee but none of them were the results of seeking the truth. We want answers not span not political buffoonery but real answers and if individuals were negligence or incompetent that caused the death of four individuals that people should be held accountable thus the bottom-line regardless of political affiliation.
I hope that this new committee that is being formed in the House of Representatives and those serving on the committee can be bipartisan. I only hope that we don’t continue having this political buffoonery where Democrats are defending the image and were Republicans are giving long speeches but working together to get to the truth to what happened when the American consulate was attacked in four Americans lost their lives.
I know at Fort Bragg North Carolina the 82nd airborne is placed on alert status any trouble in the world they are ready to fly within an hour to any hot place in the world, what bothers me is that we have troops in the Middle East and within seven hours then I capable of providing additional security I don’t know what’s going on but to try to tell me that we weren’t able to provide additional security to those for Americans who lost their lives is totally pathetic.

8+ inquiry facts already proved ‘”No Evidence Of Intentional Delay Or Obstruction by anyone”-Bipartisan Sen Select Committee Report-1/15/14 e.g ‘no stand down order.’ The already LOCAL US Military 22 minute response from the first call for help retook the Benghazi consulate within 1 hour saving 30 lives. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/benghazi-timeline-how-the-attack-unfolded/
That’s why 63% polled know the GOP is on a political smear witch hunt to slime POTUS Obama. Your delusional GOP “rhetoric hasn’t matched up with reality” http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2014/may/09/fact-checking-benghazi-our-most-recent-round-/
