Congressional Benghazi Hearings Yielded Conflicting Statements from State Department Officials.

  • The cover up continues.
  • I am feeling good that the grilling by Issa and his committee that there were no soft ball questions.
  • A State Department official had to be coaxed to admit that Al Queda is our enemy.
Here is an excerpt of the report;
The officials also struggled to defend the security situation at the consulate. “We had the correct number of assets in Benghazi” at the time of the attack, Lamb told the committee. Kennedy seemed to dispute this later in the hearing, saying that State Department security is “never going to have enough guns” to prevent full-force military attacks like the one in Benghazi.
Meanwhile, Benghazi security official Lt. Col. Woods, a whistle-blower working with the Oversight Committee, said he “knew instantly” Benghazi was a terrorist attack. Woods added that he “almost expected the attack” because of the regular threats and security breaches in the area, and the fact that “we were the last flag flying” after the British ambassador had his convoy bombed and pulled out of Benghazi.
It is very revealing in that a house cleaning from top to bottom will be needed in the Department of State when the adults take charge in January.
