Benghazi - it's time for answers!

Visit our News page February 5, 2013 It’s time America got answers! Please sign our letter to Congress calling for a thorough congressional investigation of Benghazi! [Editor’s Note: We’re sending out this important email again today just in case you missed it yesterday] Last Friday, a terrorist blew himself up at the U.S. embassy in Turkey. Unfortunately, this likely won’t be the last time this occurs. This is what happens when American leadership signals weakness, indecision and wavering in response to the threat of radical Islam. Our enemies didn’t miss President Obama’s mixed-message response to the Benghazi consulate attack. They watched UN Ambassador Susan Rice blame the attack on a video, which only encouraged militants to riot in front of American embassies all over the world. They know that no one has yet been arrested for the attack. They saw Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s outrageous response during her congressional testimony, when she asked, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” regarding why the attack happened. While the American people still don’t have answers to many of the questions swirling around Benghazi, our enemies have drawn their own conclusion—they see weakness, confusion and indecision. And they have become emboldened as a result. It’s past time America got answers, answers that weren’t forthcoming at the House and Senate hearings. This is why we’re urging you to sign our open letter to the House leadership demanding the creation of a House Select Committee to thoroughly investigate what happened in Benghazi and why. Unanswered questions include: Who exactly was responsible for the attack? Why has not even one of the terror suspects been taken into custody? Why did members of the Administration falsely claim on numerous occasions that a low-budget movie was the catalyst for the attack, something known to be untrue? Why was there no immediate military response during the attack to either rescue the victims or recover the bodies? Is it true, as the New York Times reported, that militants involved in the recent attack of an Algerian gas complex also were involved in the Benghazi incident? Rep. Frank Wolf has introduced H. Res. 36, which calls for the creation of this Select Committee. The House leadership needs to hear from the grassroots that there is a demand for the creation of this committee to thoroughly investigate what happened in Benghazi. Please add your name to our open letter to the House leadership, and forward this email to everyone you know. It’s tragic enough that the families of the four men who died in Benghazi still don’t have all the answers. But how many more of our embassies are now in the crosshairs of Islamic jihadists as a result? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT for America P.O.
