Why Have None Of The Terrorists Who Attacked
In Benghazi Been Captured Or Killed?
In Benghazi Been Captured Or Killed?
Matthew Burke, TPNN News Editor — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz called for unanimous consent on a Senate resolution (WATCH VIDEO BELOW) that would create a Joint Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi terrorist attacks. However, Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez blocked the request, robotically repeating the Democrat talking point that the investigation was a “political trick.” Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, has come under fire for being investigated by the FBI for having sex with underage Dominican prostitutes. Menendez admitted during Senate debate that he had no idea if Obama was told during the terrorist attack as it was going on, admitting that he didn’t know whether Obama could have done anything about the attacks. Menendez called such questions “unworthy” of an answer.
The resolution (S. Res. 255) was originally introduced by Senator Cruz on September 12, 2013 and currently has 25 co-sponsors in the Senate. Cruz blasted Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for their role in the terrorist attacks:
“Twenty months after the Benghazi attack, we have four dead Americans and no dead terrorists,” Sen. Cruz said. “It is chilling to think our President had better things to do than personally attend to an ongoing terrorist attack on our people. It is chilling to imagine we could have mounted a rescue attempt of our people but did not even bother to try. It is chilling to think our Secretary of State would not insist on giving an interview for the ARB report. It is chilling to think we have an administration that is reluctant to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’ let alone fight against it. The clock is ticking. Memories are fading. It is beyond time to get the full resources of both houses of Congress behind this investigation.”
As Democrats have repeatedly stonewalled any attempt at investigating the attacks, which occurred on 9/11/2012, and would love to just “move on,” Cruz listed ten questions that remain unanswered 20 months after the horrific terrorist attacks that took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stephens, the first ambassador killed since the Carter presidency:
1. Why was the State Department unwilling to provide the requested level of security to Benghazi in the summer of 2012?
2. Did President Obama’s daily intelligence briefings in the run-up to September 11, 2012 support the assertion that there was no credible threat of a coordinated terrorist attack on Benghazi during this time? And if so, why does the White House not declassify and release the briefings, as President George Bush did his pre-September 11, 2001 briefings?
3. Why did we not anticipate the need to have military assets at the ready in the region on the anniversary of September 11, of all days?
4. Did President Obama sleep the night of September 11, 2012? Did Secretary Clinton? When was President Obama told about the murder of our ambassador?
5. If the secretary of defense thought there was “no question” this was a coordinated terrorist attack, why did Ambassador Susan Rice, Secretary Clinton, and President Obama all tell the American people that the cause was a “spontaneous demonstration” about an internet video?
6. Why did former deputy CIA director Mike Morell edit the intelligence community talking points to delete the references to “Islamic extremists” and “al-Quaeda”?
7. Why did the FBI release pictures of militants taken the day of the attack only eight months after the fact? Why not immediately, as proved so effective after the Boston bombing?
8. Why was Secretary Clinton not interviewed for the ARB report? And if all relevant questions were answered in the ARB report, why did the State Department’s own inspector-general office open a probe into the methods of that very report?
9. Why have none of the terrorists who attacked in Benghazi been captured or killed?
10. What additional evidence that the White House engaged in a political campaign to blame the Benghazi attack on the internet video is contained in the additional emails requested by JudicialWatch but withheld by the White House on the grounds that it would put a “chill” on internal deliberations?

You do not have to be smart with numbers to know that the real state of the U.S. economy is pathetic these days. You can thank Barack Obama for that because, dear reader, he is utterly clueless regarding America’s economy; how it works, and what it needs to work.
