On the recordNovember 16, 2012
Yesterday, members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, led by Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, heard testimony regarding the terrorist attack on our United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya. This resulted in the death of four American heroes. Sadly, no substantial information was revealed. The American people have legitimate questions and deserve answers as to what happened on the evening of September 11, 2012. Why did the administration not make an immediate response in the area of the consulate as requested during the 6-hour attack? Why did the administration place blame on a video rather than reveal that it was an organized terrorist attack? Why has the administration failed to provide answers to valid questions after 2 months of inquiry, as requested by House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon? It's my hope that the appropriate officials of this administration will appear before Congress and provide answers the American people deserve. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
