Congressman Frank Wolf Pushes for Investigation of Benghazi Attack, at Six-Month Anniversary of Event
On six-month anniversary of attack, Northern Virginia congressman says 'time is now to right historic wrong.'
Marking the six-month anniversary of the terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans and seriously injured others, Republican Congressman Frank Wolf, who represents Virginia's 10th District, made the following statement Monday:
“Today is the six-month anniversary of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi that took four American lives and wounded untold others. Last week, Fox News confirmed, in response to my recent letter to Sec. Kerry, that at least one survivor is still recovering at Walter Reed – six months later," Wolf said in a statement released by his office.
“Six months later, none of the terrorists involved in the attack are in U.S. or foreign detention," Wolf said. "The FBI has only had access to a single suspect for a mere three hours, after waiting for months. The FBI is being denied access to another person of interest in Egypt.
“Six months later, none of the survivors have been identified or questioned by Congress about the attack or credited for their heroism. We don’t know their names, conditions or stories.
“Six months later, not a single American official has been held accountable or lost their job over the inadequate consulate security, intelligence failures or the administration’s abysmal response during the terrorist attack.
“After all this time, it’s shameful that the American public, the media, and – most importantly – the Obama administration has turned its back on the families of the victims and allowed terrorists to escape justice for this long. The time is now to right this historic wrong and pass my resolution to create a select committee to investigate this horrendous event.”
Wolf has been pushing for the creation of a select committee to investigate the Benghazi attack since last November. His legislation, H. Res. 36, currently has more than 50 cosponsors.

This admimistrations needs to be put in prison. they are not above the law. So, is this just another event to get the people to be quiet about Bengazi? or will you really do something to the people who new that the attack was going to happen before it really did? We already know from previous reports that the WH new it was going to happen but Yet, Obama got in again---Obama, Hillary, Biden and a few others were caught in Lies after Lies after Lies......but NOTHING....HAPPENED........THE NORMAL PERSON WOULD BE IN PRISON.........THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD

He was more than aware of the fact that something bad was going to happen weeks prior to the attack,yet he did nothing to prevent it which he easily could have,he even admitted he knew something was going to happen so he is guilt of another of the many counts of treason he has commited and still is and all are on the records,but the embassy attack also brought murder into the picture so he is guilty of that as well and he has no credible defence for any of the multiple acts of treason and nobody is going to bite the bullet for him if and when he gets charged which I say will happen and I look to see impeachment proceeding begin in the very near future

Please continue with your efforts to have a Select Committee formed to investigate the Benghazi fiasco. We need to know what really happened. All persons interviewed must be under oath to truthfulness. I have contacted Rep. Culberson and encouraged him to support your efforts.
Serious regards.

According to Whitehouse.gov , Brennan held a briefing on Sept 10 2012 to discuss preparations for 9/11. This was to include readiness for possible attacks and additional security for U.S. facilities.
Doesn't it seem like the military would have been prepared and on alert for any contingency? Doesn't it seem like there would have been additional security in Benghazi? Especially in light of what was happening in Cairo in the days leading up to 9/11?
I have never seen this addressed in any report.
The information about Brennan's meeting can be found at Whitehouse.gov. Go to the briefings and remarks for Sept 2012. It was posted Sept 10.
