Do you wonder, as have I, that all the controversy surrounding the healthcare web site isn’t just more fluff to cover up other happenings in Washington? On Sunday, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said he would continue to block all of Obama’s nominees for executive branch positions until he gets the answers he’s looking for regarding the September 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that left US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others dead.
Many questions remain unanswered. Interviews with survivors are as harrowing as the actual attacks. Those who witnessed the events, and made it out alive, remember seeing Stevens lying there, dead. They remember asking the government for aid, that things were unstable in the area. And they remember nothing being done.
Testifying about the attacks, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is best remembered for her statement “What difference at this point does it make?”. This is in line with Kathleen Sebelius’s comment of “whatever” when asked if the president was responsible for the healthcare debacle. Again, America was lied to.
In an interview with Fox News, Senator Graham said, ““I don’t think it’s over the top to find out what happened to four dead Americans, I don’t think it’s over the top to talk to survivors. The State Department interviewed these survivors.”
Why haven’t we heard this before? Why is there still such silence regarding these attacks? President Obama & Hillary Clinton stood with their hands over their hearts, next to flag draped coffins, and continued to push the story about a video being the cause of the attacks. Tweets from CBS’s 60 Minutes, in fact, point to information leading up to the 9/11/12 attacks, stating, “Prior to the attack, Ambassador Stevens approved a cable to DC that said: “The al Qaeda flag has been spotted…flying over govt bldgs” also stating that a security official warned Ambassador Stevens, ““You are going to get attacked in #Benghazi,” three months prior to the actual event.
In an administration that claimed transparency throughout the Obama campaigns, we simply seem to be facing more lies and more cover ups, rather than the honesty the American people are looking for. We have to wonder, what else are they not telling us?

These same questions keep getting raised– where are the answers?

Until the current administration steps up and admits the gross errors in judgement that they have been making regarding the information given to America, these questions will continue to be raised, and possibly never answered.

And what do you personally think of that? How much more frustrated do you intend to make yourself in raising questions that may never be answered? What kind of system is that? I have my own thoughts but am asking for yours. You can answer for me if you like; I’m sure you understand how I feel enough to do so.

Personally, I think it sucks. But I don’t believe I’m any more frustrated than most Americans these days. I believe these questions could possibly be answered some day. I’m just wondering how, with social media, especially Twitter, why it takes as long as it does to find out the truth.

See it works this way: the parties involve have to be willing to TELL the truth. Discussion ends there….
