Rogers: “Gross negligence” in handling of Benghazi

“Well, it’s very clear to me…that the intelligence was right about the threats in Benghazi,” Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “Now, they didn’t know the specific day and the specific event, but all of the threat [streams] were right. What went wrong was that the policy and decision makers at the Department of State did not make the right security call, and I argue it’s gross negligence.” …

“Somebody was absolutely negligent in not providing the right security to the ambassador and the employees that lost their lives that day,” Rogers said. “And somebody should be held accountable for that and we shouldn’t walk away from that.”

Well good luck with that? If you think for one minute bho will take the blame, no way! bho should as he should with F&F, but they just stall stall stall till people give up? rice won’t, hill won’t, the brass won’t, but the cia or fbi might? But someone is going to get the bus and blame, count on it! Just like everything else bho has been involved with the lies and constant lies just keep coming.

This story is now officially dead. Thanks, McCain.

Wise to keep the focus on this element for now. It is an indisputable fact that there was inadequate security for Amb. Stevens, and that he requested additional security before the attack. Probe that and you touch Hilary, which keeps it in the news. That is a point from which to build an investigation. The endgame is the 7 hours while the SEALs were on the roof of the compound and Barry decided to let them die instead of risk a debacle that could hurt his re-election. Not to mention the coverup with the YouTube video lies, by Rice on the Sunday chat shows and Obama at the UN.
