Investigate Benghazi
ALEXANDRIA, VA – At least five major bombshell revelations emerged yesterday during the House Oversight Committee’s hearing on the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya:
1. According to the deputy chief
of mission in Libya, a four-man commando team in Tripoli was denied permission
to go to Benghazi and help those under siege. The administration’s response
that there wasn’t enough time is ludicrous given no one knew how long the
attacks would last.
2. Mark Thompson testified that
the FEST anti-terrorist team wasn’t sent in because conditions on the ground
were too dangerous. Yet this is exactly what FEST is designed for, and the FEST
team wanted to go in.
3. It is now established beyond
any doubt that instantly the State Department knew this was a terrorist attack.
Why did the administration lie, calling this a video issue, and who gave that
order?
4. Gregory Hicks, the number two
diplomat in Libya, says he was demoted after complaining about the false story
being put out by Washington. This is denied by the State Department, which says
no one was punished.
5. Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton stated months ago that she was taking full responsibility. She
announced an Accountability Review Board (ARB) to investigate this. We now know
she was never interviewed. Why?
According to the Media Research Center, while
ABC, CBS, and NBC each reported on the Benghazi hearings during their evening
and morning programs last night and this morning, they have not delivered
complete, in-depth coverage of these bombshells.
Media Research Center President Brent
Bozell reacts:
“The
Obama Administration’s politically motivated cover-up of the Benghazi terrorist
attacks last September was fully exposed during yesterday’s House Oversight
Committee Hearing. Five major bombshell revelations emerged that have, so far,
only been given lip service by the three broadcast networks.
“These
revelations open up a new can of worms with even more serious questions.
“If
ABC, CBS, and NBC don’t thoroughly investigate and report on each and every one
of these bombshell developments, and provide the American public with a true
and honest account of the administration’s deadly mistakes and outright lies, they
will also be guilty of deliberately censoring the news.
“The
media have an obligation to the victims’ families and to the American people to
investigate these revelations morning, noon, and night until the truth is
known. If the media are having trouble finding the motivation to do their jobs,
they should pretend Obama is a Republican.”
