Special Forces Told "You Can't Go...." - Benghazi
 
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-.../#postComments


"The deputy of slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens has told congressional investigators that a team of Special Forces prepared to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks was forbidden from doing so by U.S. Special Operations Command South Africa.

The account from Gregory Hicks is in stark contrast to assertions from the Obama administration, which insisted that nobody was ever told to stand down and that all available resources were utilized. Hicks gave private testimony to congressional investigators last month in advance of his upcoming appearance at a congressional hearing Wednesday."


The interview transcript is available at the CBSNews link.

It's a real shame--and terribly convenient--that this testimony wasn't made available around election time.

Democrats' Agenda for Benghazi Hearing: Protect Hillary at All Costs

Clinton, the former Secretary of State and likely frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, could be severely damaged by testimony about the attacks, which occurred in part because of security lapses for which the State Department is primarily responsible.

I don't want to see an impeached Bill Clinton in the WH again via his wife. Nor do I want another Bush, i.e., Jeb. Sick of these people.

He's looking more Establishment as we move along. Comparing the two Cubans, Rubio v. Cruz...Cruz stands miles above Rubio. That was very apparent during the Filibuster and, really, the first time I really noticed that Rubio belonged more in the RNC Establishment crowd. He'll have to do something to change my mind now. Standing next to Cruz, that is going to be a VERY tall order.

I imagine everyone else will be "unimpeachable" as well.

wow bratt, you are posting biased articles

Lt. Col. Gibson and his team were on their way to board a C-130 from Tripoli for Benghazi prior to an attack on a second U.S. compound "when [Col. Gibson] got a phone call from SOCAFRICA which said, 'you can't go now, you don't have the authority to go now.'

the team was denied PRIOR TO THE ATTACK are you now saying they knew the attack was coming?

They're pretty mainstream for that accusation, don't you think? If they're biased, it isn't a conservative bias, that's for sure!
