Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, in last Wednesday's The Post and Courier, a retired Foreign Service officer wrote a letter with questions regarding the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Retired Foreign Service Officer William Boudreau worked in the State Department Operations Center, which serves as a direct line of communications to all American missions. Based on his service, Boudreau is confident that alerts from Benghazi were delivered to the White House during the attack. Boudreau believes the following questions must be explained: Why the delay in labeling the attack as terrorism? Given prior threats, why did security personnel allow Ambassador Stevens to proceed to Benghazi? Why did the State Department refuse requests to enhance security? The American people deserve answers to these questions. Additionally, I appreciate the service of Marty Johnson in promoting Snowball Express and on its success in reaching out to the children who have suffered the loss of a parent serving in our Armed Forces since September 11. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________”
