    How would one figure out the way to 'correct the security issues which allowed these events to take place', if nobody knows what happened? Nobody knows why Americans where still in the area when every other country had left. Nobody knows why the military in the area where not sent to help. Nobody knows where the commander in chief or any other leader where. Nobody knows why requests for more security where denied.

    The administration has stone walled on every one of those issues.

    No, they haven't. Read the House report, it is extremely detailed.

    As an American citizen I'm more frustrated that we haven't captured the **** bags that are responsible yet. Shouldn't that be the bigger concern? Why are Republicans more interested at the phrasing of some sentences from the adminstration after the attack rather than finding those that are actually responsible for killing our fellow citizens? Is politics at play? O why yes... If the family members of the victims of the attack have any semblance of common sense they should know by now that this Republican witch hunt is not about justice for their loved ones.

    I have. its incredibly useless. Why don't you answer those questions since you feel they have been answered?

    what makes you think they aren't? Also that's not really in the purview of the legislative branch. Hunting terrorists is the responisiblity of the executive branch (thus the cover-up by the obama administration after the attack)

    The families have been pretty open about their disappointment in the Obama administration.

    Because, as has been seen repeatedly in this very thread, as soon as a simple answer is given, the goal posts immediately move. It just isn't worth any more of my time since you could get the answers yourself if you actually looked at the reports instead of just believing the garbage being fed to you by pundits.

    The only reason Benghazi is still being talked about it because liberals allow themselves to be trolled so easily.

    The trap where the victim's family believe that the Republican party is not investigating for a political agenda. Just imagine the Republican outrage or lack there of if the secretary of state at the time was not a future Democratic presidential candidate.

    I'm specifically talking about right wing voters and how their frustration is misguided.

    On Tuesday, the House Republican leadership formally announced it’s chosen Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) to lead the latest in a series of Benghazi committee investigations. On Wednesday, Gowdy made a “telling slip.”

    Asked by MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough about the possibility that his panel’s work would continue into the 2016 election campaign, Gowdy replied that “if an administration is slow-walking document production, I can’t end a trial simply because the defense won’t cooperate.”

    A trial?


    Trey Gowdy’s embarrassing start

    I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what happened, given national security concerns. I have also answered at least one of those questions in previous posts in this very thread, to no avail.

    Well at least you're truthful.

    The MSM seems to be in agreement

    Even as Democrats ponder whether participation would legitimize the committee and a boycott would discredit it, the evidence suggests that Republicans aren’t particularly interested in winning any arguments. In other words, the select committee is less about establishing wrongdoing than it is about creating a venue for saying “Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi!” on Fox News. Oh, and to raise money.

    why couldn't they be investigating to get the family the answers they and the American people want? Why couldn't they be investigating because as GR says to take step to prevent it from happening again?

    I imagine it would be the same. Soldiers being left for dead angers most.

    nobody guides my frustration. And American soldiers being left for dead will always frustrate me.

    right right. you just can't be bothered to help us out and answer these questions. I understand, I am sure you are a very busy individual
