Since day one, I've been asking what the heck was Ambassador Stevens doing in Benghazi? Good for Congressman Gowdy for challenging the media to take this matter seriously.

A source I trust posits that Stevens went to Benghazi to finalize an arms transaction - a transshipment to Syrian rebels. I suspect there was (or was supposed to be) a duffel bag full of fresh cash. I predict that the story we will finally hear is that something went wrong, and the other side of the deal went ballistic.

  That makes sense. There just seems to be no other reason for him to be there personally.

More questions, Rich. Why isn't Trey Gowdy the norm? Why aren't our school campuses alive with students demanding the truth from this administration on Benghazi? Have the majority of us really become sheep?

  Great questions. College students should be protesting like crazy. Trey Gowdy for Speaker!

    They are. They're protesting for gay rights, they're protesting to get their student loans rates lowered, they're protesting to get pot legalized, they're protesting to legalize border jumpers, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum.

Good morning richrobinson,
Absolutely fantastic! That was the best investment of three minutes I have witnessed in a long time.
Respectfully,
O.A.

I’m very impressed with Trey Gowdy. I hope that if we have a Republican president in 2016, that Gowdy will be considered for AJ.

    I heard that thrown around as well as calls for him to run for President, but the man owns three dogs: Judge, Jury and Baliff. I think it speaks volumes of how much passion he has for the law. The Speaker’s job is for a peacock. If any benefit, Gowdy is an example of what normal folks are looking for in future political candidates. Start looking.

        It also says a lot about a president who would choose Trey Gowdy as the new AG. It says the president wants a man or woman in the job who respects the law above all else.

    Yup. Lol. I was sitting on the couch when it came to me that I had used a ‘J’. Too late for an edit.

That's good. Very good.

That initial report that this attack (on 9/11) was just a response to some low budget video on youtube never, ever made any sense to me. It was like saying Santa Clause carried out the attack, or Bigfoot.

  Hope we get some answers this time. Maybe some of the press will wake up and do their job.

    Hoping or wishing that the press will wake up and do their job won't make it happen. Pigs or donkeys will fly before the press turns on Obama. They have had more than ample time and cause. The real quesiton is why anyone pays any attention to the press anymore. They make Goebbels or Tass or Pravda seem like credible news sources.

      Great points. I keep thinking where is the Geraldo Rivera? Just one investigative reporter trying to make a name for themselves could blow this wide open. It does make the mainstream press more irrelevant everyday.

        That one investigative reporter was Andrew Breitbart. He died. Those who work for his organization are tarred and feathered by the MSM. Cheryl Atkisson, formerly of CBS, tried to call them out on Benghazi. She was shut up.

A great post Rich. I'd like to think perhaps he shamed a reporter or 2 into actually doing what they are paid to do. Unfortunately I think it's the same press that's in Atlas Shrugged.

  It is hard to believe the press has not pursued this. I don't get it Pirate.

    Nor I. The press seems to have a moral relativism.

      No. They have an agenda. Whether it is conscious or unconscious is up for debate, but it is a clear agenda, nonetheless.

        It's conscious. If anyone but obama and hillary (aka: mr. thompson and cuffy meegs) had been involved it would be a totally different reaction from the press.

        You really think they would have reacted differently for Pres Kerry, Gore, Biden, or Dean just to name a few?

        No. They are all the same as the ones I named above, they just wear different suits.

        OK. Thanks. Just wanted to be clear. I can't think of the last Dem that was respectable (probably Lieberman, but even he had to leave that party).

        I can't think of the last politician that was respectable. Some have possible glimmers of thought. Gowdy is one to watch. He might actually be something other than just partisan.

        Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Jim Sensennbrenner, Reid Ribble, Sean Duffy (those are the ones of whom I'm most familiar).

        Ron Johnson yes. Rand Paul probably but the jury is still out for me on him. I'm not very familiar with the others. Gary Johnson sure says some correct stuff.

        Not sure that I agree with his foreign policy (and that's the problem that I have with most Libertarians). While I would certainly like to be living in a world where all nations would behave rationally and treat fellow nations with respect, that's not the world that we live in. I won't agree to allow another 9/11 just because we should be "non-aggressive." I will accept the consequences of doing unto others before they do unto us. So, don't seek to do unto us and we'll be just fine. Carry a big stick - walk softly, but damn sure carry that big stick.

        If we stayed out of other people business and had that big stick and they knew they would get whacked with it that would deter some aggression toward us. Screw with us and we'll turn you to glass.

        Yep, though I often disagreed with him, Lieberman was the last Democrat I respected. His last name would be great for a Gulch member - lover of man.
