(CNSNews.com) – With just three days to go before her last day at the State Department, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to be dogged by questions about the deadly terror attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi last fall.
In a letter sent late on Monday, three Republican House committee chairmen asked Clinton to provide documentation relating to security at the consulate, video footage of the September 11 attack, and other material, saying the recent Accountability Review Board (ARB) probe into the incident had left key questions unanswered.
Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.), Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), and House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) noted that the board had not questioned the department’s senior-most officials, including Clinton herself, Deputy Secretary William Burns and Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources Thomas Nides.
They said they believed its failure to do so was “a critical omission from the ARB’s review of the facts leading up to the attack.”
Among questions still unanswered, the lawmakers wrote, were the reasons why Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy had apparently withdrawn a security support team (SST) from Libya, “despite multiple warnings from Ambassador Chris Stevens of a deteriorating security situation.”
“This was a key decision that detrimentally affected the security posture of U.S. diplomats in Libya prior to the attack,” Royce, Issa and Chaffetz said.

The Security Support Team was withdrawn under Obama’s direct orders, to clear the path for his Muslim terrorist friends, to be able to kidnap Ambassador Christopher Steven’s, so that Obama could become a hero, in the eyes of not only the American people, prior to the presidential election, but to all of his Muslim friends as well, by trading the Blind Sheikh for the safe return of Ambassador Steven’s.
The plan that he concocted when his buddies came a few months earlier from Egypt, under special travel permits that Obama arranged for them, because the folks that came were I guess less than honorable, and law abiding citizen’s, otherwise why would they have required special travel Visas?
The plan would have worked picture perfect, it it were not for those two nasty ex-navy seals that disobey one one, not two, but three distinct, and separate “stand-down” order’s, from their Commander in Chief. General Ham who was the head of AFRICOM was also given a “stand-down,” order, by the Secretary of Defense, Leone Panetta, when General Ham refused to comply with that orderer, within less than a minute, he was replaced and told that the reason that he was replaced was because he refused to obey a direct order from the Commander in Chief.
I bet Obama must have been really upset, when none of the three individuals obeyed his stand down orders.It must have been very frustrating for Obama to be watching his plan disintegrate right in front of his eyes as he and Panetta and Biden are watching the live feed from the Predator that was stationed over-head of the facility.
Someone might want to ask why would a predator be stationed over head when all that was to have taken place was a friendly dinner with the Turkey representative, so they could conclude their transfer of weapons.
I suspect that when Doherty and Woods showed up at the facility the Muslim’s were taken by total and complete surprise, since they were I a certain told that a detachment of 14 armed personnel were re-assigned two weeks prior to the scheduled dinner meeting.
I bet that Obama had a lot of explaining to do to his Muslim buddy terrorists over that flap. I just hope that some Members of Congress like Darrell Issa stay on it and uncover the truth. If and when that happens, Obama’s presidency will come to a crashing end.
The Washington Examiner, quoting retired Four-Star Admiral James Lyons, writes: “[T]he attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi… was the result of a bungled abduction attempt…. the first stage of an international prisoner exchange… [that] would have ensured the release of Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheik’…”

Was Obama’s SECRET PLANS to: RUN GUNS AND MISSILES TO AL QAEDA and TRADE THE BLIND SHEIK FOR AMBASSADOR STEVENS, after ENABLING his KIDNAPPING.
The Mob Action, introduced in Egypt and other embassies and its claimed cause was to be an Anti Muslim movie trailer. That was the planned cover for the Kidnapping in Benghazi. The action at Benghazi was supposed to be blamed on the same mob action as in Egypt.
Question: Does anything done by “Any Actor” make any sense, except in the context of “The Secret Plans”?
A few questions that can be completely explained by the “Secret Plans”.
1. Why did Ambassador Chris Stevens have dinner with the Turkish General Council?
2. Why did the terrorist attack on the Consulate begin immediately after the Turkish General Council left?
3. What happened to the 15,000 SA-7 Grail/Strela-2 missiles that Muammar Qaddafi had acquired? And the USA Stinger missiles provided by Barack Obama to overthrow Qaddafi?
4. Was Amb Stevens running guns and missiles to the Al Qaeda in Syria through Turkey?
5. Because Al Qaeda has been at war with the USA, openly attacking the USA for about 20 years, since 1993; would Running Guns and Missiles and other War Material to Al Qaeda be Treason?
6. Did Obama want to release the Blind Sheik, but had no justifiable reason to do so?
7. Why were 3 MST and 1 SST security details removed from Libya?
8. Why did Hillary request/demand more security, but Obama denied more security, several times?
9. Why were ex-Seals, Doherty and Woods, told to stand down 3 times?
10. Why did Obama tell the CIA to NOT help defend the Consulate?
11. Why did Obama and his minions watch live video of the attack and not act?
12. Why was an American Drone flying over the consulate recording video BEFORE the attack began?
13. Predator Drones carry Hell Fire Missiles, why were none fired?
14. Why were the Seals Lazing a Target, giving away their position and no Hell Fire missiles were fired?
15. Why did Obama blame it on a video that no one (only 17 views on YouTube) had ever seen?
16. Why did Obama fire General Ham for moving to assist the Consulate?
17. Why was an AC-130 Gunship, 90 minutes away, not sent to aid the Consulate?
18. Why were the F-16′s only 20 minutes away not sent to help the consulate?
19. Was the reason that the Aircraft were not sent, because Obama was afraid that USA A/C would be shot down with the anti-Aircraft missiles that Obama supplied to the Terrorists?
20. Why did the plan stick with the plan’s excuse of the Sham “Mohammed is an Idiot” Movie Trailer?
21. Why did the Ansar al-Sharia try to save Amb Stevens by taking him to a Hospital/Emergency Room?
22. Why did Ansar al-Sharia surround the Hospital where Ambassador Steven’s body was taken and not let anyone in or out?
23. Why was a Libyan Military person photographing the Consulate before the Attack?
24. Why could the President not get an interview with a participating Terrorist for weeks when Senator Lindsey Graham got Tunisia to let the FBI interview him within 24 hours of the request?
25. Why was the Terrorist in Tunisia released and got totally Free
without the USA stopping his release or questioning him?
26. Why were Senior counter terrorism personnel cut out of the Loop, the Foreign Emergency Security Team was not called?
27. The Embassy in Egypt was attacked by a Mob Action and the motive was the Film Trailer. This was part of the Plan and does not make sense, except if it was a part of the Kidnapping Plan with the joint actions in Egypt and Benghazi?
28. Why did the Idiots in the White House stick with the Planned Motive of the Film Trailer start the attack?
The Fly in Obama’s Treason Plans; Two Brave American Heroes, Navy Seals. They should both receive, posthumously, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, after Obama’s Conviction for: High Crimes, Misdemeanors, Murders and High Treason.
BOTH OR EITHER OF THESE PLANS AND ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY TREASON. Barack Obama is guilty of High Treason and Murder and should be IMPEACHED NOW.
Hillary is not about to answer any more questions. She has already testified and will only laugh at who ever asks her to sit before the Committee again. Those jokers wasted their time in ‘praising’ her using up all their minutes, then had nothing left for good questions. They have no one to blame but themselves..
Hillary will say ‘I don’t have that information.’ She is going to use that same phrase… “I dont have that information.” over and over… You Republicans may as well get used to it.. she’s not about to be tied to those killings. She wants to be on the Supreme Court.
