Official: Amb. Stevens Refused Additional Security
UPI | May 15, 2013
U.S. envoy Chris Stevens refused offers of more security before the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya in which he was killed, McClatchy Newspapers reported.
Why Stevens turned down the offers was unclear, given embassy officials during an Aug. 15 meeting concluded they could not defend the consulate in Benghazi amid deteriorating conditions in the city, government officials told McClatchy in an article published Tuesday.
In a cable, the embassy outlined the circumstances and said it would detail what it needed in a separate cable.
"In light of the uncertain security environment, US Mission Benghazi will submit specific requests to US Embassy Tripoli for additional physical security upgrades and staffing needs by separate cover," said the cable, which was first reported by Fox News.
Rather than wait for the second cable, however, Army Gen. Carter Ham, then-commander of the U.S. Africa Command, called Stevens and asked if the embassy needed a special security team, the officials said. Stevens told Ham it did not, the government officials said.
During a meeting several weeks later, Ham again asked Stevens if he wanted additional military security and again Stevens said no, the officials told McClatchy.

@cicerone imposter,

Are there any documents to back your claim? Or because it was done by phone call, and Stevens is dead there is no one to refute the claim?

@Baldimo,

If you doubt the report, why don't you call General Carter Ham?
Just because 'you' question the claim, it's up to you to prove different. You're the one questioning the report - not me.

You fail to understand simple logic.

But then, I never considered you had any common sense or smarts.

@cicerone imposter,

I doubt the report because it didn't come with a link. You made the claim, so back it up. I asked for a source. Can you not provide one?.

As always CI makes claims he can't back up. I'm still waiting for the 4 years of a Dem majority... You ever going to answer that one or are you going to ignore the fact you were wrong?

Yes, let's talk about the four year Dem majority.

From Wiki.

Quote:

The One Hundred Eleventh United States Congress was the meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government from January 3, 2009, until January 3, 2011. It began during the last two weeks of the George W. Bush administration, with the remainder spanning the first two years of Barack Obama's presidency.

That means that only two years of the 111th Congress was under Obama. Got that?

These are the major legislation passed (also from Wiki).

@cicerone imposter,

Nice try, I never said anything about a majority under Obama, I talked about a Dem majority for the 4 years before 2010. The Dems had a majority for the 110th and 111th Congress. You can't even answer a question honestly. You are bending your answer to fit the question you think I asked.

I simply said the Dems had a 4 year majority until 2010. Why didn't they investigate Bush and his war crimes. That was the question, it had nothing to do with Obama.

No, you said the four years of democratic majority. Only two years were under Obama, and they got things done. The two years under GW Bush was a bust!

Darrell Issa’s subpoena of Sec. of State John Kerry has completely backfired, as the State Department announced that Kerry would not be testifying at next week’s Benghazi hearing, and Issa put the subpoena on hold.

According to The Hill:

A subpoena for John Kerry to testify before Congress next week on Benghazi has been put on hold while the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the State Department negotiate when — or if — the secretary of state will appear.

Jen Psaki, a State Department spokeswoman, said Monday night that Kerry will be in Mexico May 21 on a previously scheduled trip, and that the department is working with the committee to “explore whether there are better means of addressing the Committee’s interests, including through a more appropriate witness.”

….

Frederick Hill, a spokesman for the House committee, told the Associated Press Monday that “The State Department has told the Committee that they are committed to finding an alternative date in the near future for Secretary Kerry to testify before the Oversight Committee. As such, Chairman Issa agreed to lift the subpoena obligation for May 21.”

This is the Lois Lerner story all over again. Remember when Issa went on Fox News Sunday and announced that Lois Lerner would be testifying at his IRS hearing only to have Lerner’s attorney say that he had no idea what Rep. Issa was talking about? Lerner did not testify. She took the Fifth. Issa ended up cutting off Rep. Elijah Cummings microphone, and storming out of the room.

Rep. Issa thinks that Sec. Kerry is going to testify, when it clear in the State Department response that it hasn’t been determined if Kerry will testify or not. Issa has been hyping Kerry’s testimony without deal in place for the Secretary of State to testify.

The whole point of this hearing was to get mainstream media attention by dragging Kerry in to testify. Issa is still trying to turn his Benghazi Pinocchio into a real news story. He can’t do that if he is unable to create a pretense of a coverup by the Obama administration. If Democrats don’t play along, this story goes nowhere.

It doesn’t matter to him that having John Kerry testify is silly and pointless, because Kerry wasn’t Secretary of State when the assault occurred. For Issa, this is all about the publicity that’s never going to come.

Benghazi is a non-scandal, and now Rep. Issa is going to holding a hearing next week that will get no media attention. The only thing that Darrell Issa accomplished with his Kerry subpoena is that he exposed his shoddy tactics and complete lack of credibility for the world to see.

@cicerone imposter,

See I'm right there were 4 years of Democratic majority in the House. Why are you fighting this? 2 years under Bush and 2 years under Obama, and they didn't start any investigations into the Iraq or Afghanistan. They had their time and they didn't do it. 4 years of a Democratic majority in the House and no investigations into a President they despised. Why is that?

No matter how you spin it you were wrong. Your pronouncements of my intelligence are a cover for your own faults. It's ok CI, we all know that the mental faculties can falter with age. I won't hold it against you.
