The Foundry -- Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is frustrated by the Obama administration’s “stonewalling” on the Benghazi investigation – and he wants answers about the 2012 terrorist attack.
Speaking to Fox News’ Neil Cavuto yesterday, Cruz said: “We have four dead Americans. We have the first dead U.S. Ambassador killed in service since 1979. In the 19 months that have followed, we don’t have a single dead terrorist or a single terrorist apprehended, and what we have seen from the president and Senate Democrats has been stonewalling.”
Here are the four questions Cruz wants the Obama administration to answer:
1.Why did the State Department repeatedly refuse to provide additional security as was requested by personnel on the ground?
2.Why did the United States not have military assets in place to protect American men and women on Sept. 11, 2012, when there was increased terrorist activity in the region?
3.During the Benghazi attack, why didn’t the United States send in forces to protect the four men who lost their lives?
4.In the 19 months that have followed, why has no one been apprehended, and no one been brought to justice?
Last year, Cruz introduced a Senate resolution calling for a joint select committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks. The House of Representatives is moving forward with its own select committee, which will be led by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C.
“The truth shouldn’t be partisan,” Cruz said. “Finding out what happened, finding out how we could have prevented it, and acting to actually apprehend these guys, should not be partisan.”
Blog author's comments - Other Americans want these questions answered also. Why doesn't Obama care about what happened and want answers himself? Because he knows what happened. Libya and Egypt were supposed to be his foreign policy successful accomplishments by helping to remove the dictators in both countries. Where was he during and after this planned terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya? The ambassador, who was one of the four Americans killed, had asked for more security numerous times, but was turned down. Why wasn't help sent during the attack? Obama supposedly was not even in the situation room during the attack, he was probably planning for his campaign/fundraising stops beginning the following day.
And who came up with the excuse of the You Tube video being the reason for the attack? It could have been Hillary Clinton, and the Obama administration ran with that excuse for weeks and months when they knew that was not true. That was just another attempt to protect Obama and Clinton and hope that all of this would soon go away. The mainstream media did their best as usual to hide the facts from the American people. I am glad that the death of our four Americans has not gone away, but I am still doubtful that the entire truth will ever be known. All of this from what Obama told us would be the most transparent administration ever. Those who have been paying attention know it has been just the opposite.
The thinking citizens of this country still want to know the truth. I don't expect much to come from the Benghazi panel which will be chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy, Republican from SC. Even though I believe he is the right man to head the committee with hopes of acquiring useful information. The Democrats will fight him from the beginning and there will only be more stalling or delaying especially by refusing to answer questions or cooperating. I believe the answers to all of the questions point directly towards Obama and Hillary Clinton. I hope the voting public keeps this in mind when they vote in the 2014 midterms and in the election in 2016.
