| Allen West calls for special committee to investigate Benghazi |
| 2013-08-15 |
| Former Florida Rep. Allen West said Wednesday that Congress needs to appoint a special committee to investigate the Sept. 11, 2011, fatal attacks on America's consulate in Benghazi, Libya. "We've got a lot of questions," he said, on Fox News. "This is why I believe we have to have that select committee to get to the bottom of these incidents. Right now, we have had this investigation across five different committees in the House of Representatives. We have not gotten anywhere." But 'getting nowhere' is the precisely the goal. Mr. West suggested a committee with subpoena powers -- similar to what's been proposed by Virginia Rep. Frank Wolf for months. "If we have one focused committee with subpoena powers that can get the survivors from Benghazi, get some of these CIA agents and operatives. And I think you need to depose Hillary Clinton and bring her back and talk about why Ambassador Chris Stevens was in Benghazi on the 11th anniversary of September 11," he said. His recommendation comes on the heels of a report from an attorney who's representing a whistleblower who said 400 hundred U.S.-made surface-to-air missiles were mysteriously "taken from Libya" during the consulate attack. Mr. West questioned the incidents surrounding these missiles. "Where did these surface-to-air missiles come from? Were they part of [former dictator Moammar] Gadhafi's stash? Or somehow were we trying to funnel weapons through Libya to Turkey, into Syria?" he said. Perhaps investigative journalist Michael Hastings knows something. Oh WAIT ! |

| #5 Whahhahaa. Kids once scratched across the Future City city sign... "time will tell". I have a photo of it somewhere. I'm for putting all our money in the Shawneetown bank and holding up in the cave. |

| #4 #1 An Observation: East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet ... Congress is in the East, West is from the South and the Oliver North of the Benghazi saga is nowhere to be found, and likely never shall we eveer meet. Posted by: Zenobia Henbane5310 Twain, huh? Hmmm. CAIRO! Cairo, Illinois. Trouble. Right there in River City. To the north: Illinois, the bountiful bodacious motherland that nurtured our Moses through his journeyman years. To the west: Missouri, the bitter, mocking, self-appointed father figure that does whatever it can to spoil his triumph, like that baldheaded Pharaoh dude. Rodeo clowns. Rush Limbaugh (hometown Cape Girardeau half an hour northwest of CAIRO!). Josey Wales with all his empty-chair seditious freedom nonsense. To the east: Cain-tuck. KY. Bumf-ck Egypt, you might say. Not too much there. Couple miles up the road is Future City. And a few miles southwest is Charleston. Dammit, I knew it! CHARLESTON! FUTURE! IL! MO! KY! Get me that Eternal General on the phone quick. And the NWA. And Rachel Maddow and Toure. The world must know! |

| #3 Well, that video of the rodeo clown did cause the violence in Egypt. The future must not belong to those who slander Obama. |
