State Department Official: Knew From 'Get Go’ Benghazi Strike Was Terror Attack
A top State Department official scheduled to give congressional testimony this week on the fatal attacks on the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, says he knew immediately they were terror strikes, not a protest turned violent, according to interview transcripts released Sunday.
“I thought it was a terrorist attack from the get go,” says Greg Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya at the time of the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks. “I think everybody in the mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the beginning.”
Hicks is one of two self-described State Department “whistle-blowers” scheduled to testify Wednesday before the Republican-led House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee. The other is Mark Thompson, a former Marine and now the deputy coordinator for operations in the agency’s Counterterrorism Bureau.
Say nighty night to Benghazi and get on with life.I'm as sick of hearing this as I am Jodi Arias.More American soldiers died this past weekend in Afghanistan than in the Benghazi attack.Dwell on the soldiers who were actually doing something for our country.
>>>Say nighty night to Benghazi and get on with life.<<< What's the matter, 11:22? Are you getting tired of being reminded that your vote(s) for Obama, Biden, Hillary, etc. has brought the country nothing but corruption and incompetence? This was the 3 AM phone call, smart guy. As with everything else, your president failed miserably.
11:22 that's right put your head back in the sand and watch more CNN and MSNBC. Those troops in Afghanistan has no business being there, other than to protect opium interests. Have you checked the headlines lately? We are openly supporting al Qaeda in Syria with millions of dollars and weapons. Benghazi housed thousands of heat seeking missiles that were stolen during the 8 hour raid that Obama watched and ordered a stand down. The truth may scare you!
Even wise Dems are distancing from him in light of the Benghazi expose`. Perhaps the sacrifice Christopher Stevens made will, after all, benefit his nation.
Obama supports Muslims so nothing will be done.
ReplyDeleteWas there any doubt in anyone's mind? In fact, the only unknown is how many lies Obama's administration was going to tell in covering it up.
ReplyDeleteAll the Obama loving Democrats still don't want to believe there is a cover up.
