BENGHAZI: The truth about attack still not told

Now that John Brennan has been confirmed as CIA director by the Senate, it appears we may never learn the entire truth about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, or the apparent cover-up in the aftermath. Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham were going to hold up the confirmation until they received more information. It didn’t happen.

Neither former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta or Brennan provided much information. The Democrats spent their congressional time with Clinton praising her work at the State Department even though she had no knowledge of the lack

BENGHAZI: Hearing was so much hot air

The American people were once again provided a dog-and-pony show as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was brought before televised hearings before the House and Senate committees in regards to the Benghazi killings.

These hearings did nothing to answer questions about what actually took place in Benghazi where four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, were killed by terrorists. What these hearings did was allow Clinton the opportunity to continue on the road to the White House in 2016. If she had not shown up to make a token appearance there is no way that she would be a

BENGHAZI: Why it’s important to tell the truth

In her recent testimony before Congress, Hillary Clinton pounded the desk and ask, “Why is it important if the attack on our embassy was due to a revolt against a video or some guys walking down the street who just decided to kill some Americans?”

Neither scenario is correct. It was a well-planned, orchestrated attack carried out by a terrorist organization. Apparently she felt going on the offensive would divert attention away from the fact that the American people were lied to.

Why is it important to tell the truth about what really happened? Simple. If you lie about what

GOP: Hypocrites now try to pillory Hillary

Now that Republicans have tarred and feathered Susan Rice for the Benghazi tragedy, which she had nothing to do with, they try to pillory Hillary Clinton on live TV at the Senate hearings. Clearly, they want to wound her so that she will not defeat them so decisively in the 2016 election.

Yet it was Republicans who blocked hundreds of millions of dollars in funding that would have beefed up security at U.S. embassies around the world.

Generation of hypocrites!

GOP: What has party done for women lately?

Re: “Remember who gave women the vote” (letter, 1-15).

The letter writer congratulates Republicans’ efforts to get women the right to vote in 1920. However, that was 93 years ago and it might have been the last effort by the GOP to help women.

With their continued talk of “legitimate rape” and the Republican-led House’s refusal to vote on the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, the Republican Party continues to show its true colors towards women. Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 93 years for Republicans to return to a position benefiting women.

The letter also claimed that

BENGHAZI: Many questions still unanswered

Like many Americans I have been following the story of the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya. This attack happened more than three months ago. The date was 9-11. Was this date just a coincidence? Will we ever know the truth? When U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice went on several Sunday talk shows and blamed the attack on a video, Sen. John McCain and several others questioned her timing as well as her story.

The president then went on TV and said if someone had a problem with Susan Rice they should talk to him. Why then hasn’t the president

MIDDLE EAST: Obama contributed to crisis

When the regional uprising began in the Middle East months ago, moderate Muslim leaders in the region were deposed and the radical Muslim Brotherhood rose to power, with President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s blessings. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood got the blessing of the Obama administration. The same thing happened in Libya.

Now Egypt is helping to arm Hamas, which is terrorizing Israel.

Obama and Clinton knew the Muslim Brotherhood around the region would increase the likelihood of war and terrorism on Israel. Why did they then bless its rise to power? Obama’s cover for blessing the organization was that

OBAMA: Why are top Cabinet members leaving?

Here we are just a few days beyond Barack Obama’s re-election, and already his Cabinet members appear to be leaving in droves. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Eric Holder have said they are not keen on another term with Team Obama. And now David Petraeus has resigned as CIA director due to his own “unacceptable behavior” by engaging in an extramarital affair.

Clinton and Petraeus have been under investigation since the 9/11 attack in Benghazi. Holder has been held in contempt by Congress for his participation in the failed “Fast and Furious” debacle. What does this exodus
