The Benghazi Four were betrayed. They called for help on September 11 but were left to die instead. Since then, Obama’s craven political appointees have tried to cover their backsides, and his, by lying about the time and resources needed to respond.
In the 3-minute May 11 clip below, former Navy Seal Christopher Mark Heben and Col. David Hunt (Ret.) explain how Alert-30 and Alert-60 forces could have been on-site in Benghazi within about 3 hours. Those forces train for missions like Bengh...
When House Speaker John Boehner can get away with it, he appears to have a strong desire to cooperate with Democrats in Congress. And now here he is, with the committee chairs he has put in place, helping the Benghazi cover-up. Is he a closet Liberal? Mark Levin wonders whether the Democrats have something on him. Whatever it is, it’s not good. When there is something they really need, he delivers.
Why is he resisting setting up a select committee to investigate Benghazi? This is one of th...
Many older Americans remember the Nixon years. Richard Nixon was reelected in a landslide, but the groundwork for Nixon’s demise was laid during his first term. The Nixon administration engaged in dirty tricks to aggressively undermine his opposit...
Second term presidents usually get almost two years to pursue their agendas before the midterm elections and the next presidential election cycle slams the door.
For President Obama, the second term timetable has been cut short. Next week marks only four months since Obama took the oath of office to begin his second term and it is already over. He’s a lame duck walking way before his time.
This is no idle prediction. The administration is mired ...
Woodwards and Bernsteins only go after Republicans; the Democratic Party has no Howard Bakers nor Joe Liebermans profiling courage; and the road to Hell paved by LBJ, Slick Willie and Barack Obama’s bad intentions would drown even a Watergate.
It wasn’t “just about sex” nor “Nixon’s War”.
In the wake of the documented cover up of Benghazi security lapses and admissions of politically targeted IRS inquiries by the Obama Administration, would it be too ...
One would think that after it was reported the administration purposefully misled the public about what happened in Benghazi, President Obama would have his facts straight by now. Not even close. Questioned at an abbreviated press conference today about his administration’s public explanation of last year’s terrorist attack in Libya, the president offered a response that doesn’t jibe with the facts. Rather than getting some candor from the president today, the American people hea...
IRS targets Americans for political reasons, the Administration targets the Press, Sebelius shakes down private businesses, Benghazi lies continue . . . and the media are still yawning
Consider for a moment, if this were still the George W. Bush administration in office. First we have the revelations this past week about the deliberate lies and the cover-up in the wake of the administration’s failures at Benghazi, which cost four Americans their lives. Next comes the bombshell that the IRS...
David Brooks, the in-house “conservative” at the New York Times, nailed it on a Sunday talk show when he said it’s a hyper political view of everything that’s the real scandal of the Obama administration.
“Second terms are generally hit with scandals,” Brooke said on Meet the Press. “In the Obama administration, you’re not going to have a monetary scandal. These people are not financially corrupt. You’re not going to have a sexual scandal. But they are very politica...
The Republicans aren’t going to get to the bottom of Benghazi. They are not asking the right questions and have a restricted purview. What’s needed is a Church-like Committee Hearing that was established after Watergate. We are dealing with a hybrid State/CIA diplomatic-intelligence agency that has no oversight or accountability. Notice how no one has asked what Ambassador Christopher Stevens meeting was about with Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin? They are ...
For months the Obama administration, with significant backing from the liberal media, have attempted to hide the truth about what happened. To cover their failures in combating terrorism, they told lies saying it was not a preplanned terrorist attack, even when they knew that to be an absolute falsehood.
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and countless members of the Obama administration have lied, concealed and attempted to cover up not only the truth bu...
Except in wartime, voters usually pay little attention to foreign policy issues at election time. Benghazi may be an exception.
The issues are falling into place for the 2014-midterm elections. The economy and job creation still top the list of major voter concerns, a predictable preference given the still-staggering economy.
Nevertheless, the news is filled with foreign policy events, including the use of chemical weapons in Syria, the Israeli bombing of Damascus, and the question of foreign te...
In the aftermath of the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed four Americans, President Obama and members of his administration repeatedly peddled a false narrative of the attack they claim was based entirely on talking points produced by the intelligence community. But as ABC News reports today, the talking points used by President Obama and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice following the attack were, in fact, “scrubbed” by the White House and State Department numerous times to remove any refe...
In Case You Missed It: Rep. Paul Gosar on C-Span’s Washington Journal
WASHINGTON, D.C. -U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S (AZ-04) appeared on C-Span’s Washington Journal to discuss the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the Benghazi Consulate attack.

“There’s accountability in the private sector, but what we lack here is accountability in the public sector.”
At a hearing yesterday, the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee continued holding the Obama administration accountable for its failure to level with the American people about the nature of the terrorist attacks that killed four Americans in Benghazi last year. At his weekly press conference today, Speaker Boehner backed the committee’s efforts by calling on President Obama to release e-mails – which his administration is withholding – that would shed light on what the admi...
WASHINGTON, D.C. -U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S (AZ-04) issued the following statement after today’s House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the Benghazi Consulate attack.
“If we do not hold the Obama Administration accountable for their egregious failures, Benghazi will happen again. Today’s hearing demands further investigation into this attack; as new information shattered the Obama Administration’s lies surrounding Benghazi.”
(Editor’s note: John Walker’s piece below reinforces our call from this morning and adds useful information, especially, though not exclusively, on the framework for a select committee set up by Rep. Frank Wolf .)
Speaker Boehner Should Take Charge of the Investigation
Now that three State Department officials have recounted what really happened in Benghazi on September 11, it is time for House Speaker John Boehner to appoint a Select Committee to pursue the investigation.

What we knew about the events and aftermath of Benghazi before yesterday was damning enough. It bespoke callousness, cowardice, malfeasance, and pure political calculus on the part of Obama and his administration, and Secretary of State Clinton and elements of the State Department. Those who have been paying attention know that even before yesterday’s testimony, Benghazi was an abject failure and a scandal that ranks with the biggest of them.
Both the Secretary of State and Ambassador to the United Nations lied with President Obama’s blessing to cover up a false Obama/Biden re-election campaign narrative claiming their administration had decapitated al Qaeda. Yet, both before and after Hillary Clinton’s disgraceful, “What difference, at this point, does it make” Benghazi testimony under oath on Capitol Hill, the focus of those in the media has been nearly exclusively focused on Susan Rice’s five appe...
