Senator threatens to stall hearings!!!!

I'm not understanding folks! When all the talks, and controversy broke out, about the attack, on September 11th, that occurred in Benghazi, Libya, and the ganging up on Lisa Rice, why didn't somebody speak up and OUT! And say, Now, that we're on 911 and attacks subject, the people would like a full report on all the 911 attacks, starting with the original 911 attack that took place in New York City. Since there's a great demand for answers, and why 4 lives were taken, and not provided security on September 11th 2012, well, we the people want answers on why 3,000 and some odd people were killed? And why security and safety measures were not taken? Seriously? What was in the investigating reports? Who were infiltrated in these reports? Who was provided information about the attacks? That was revealed by CIA informant? Did the president, George W. Bush receive information about future plot for attacks? On twin towers? If so, who did he tell? Where and what was homeland security doing when twin towers were hit? Why weren't planes shot out of the sky? Or even approached? Where were the air police? What is the time limit, once a plane flies out of a flight zone, that flight security will be on that plane, ready to shoot down?... The same people that were working to ensure safety and security in Benghazi, Libya, were they the same people responsible for the New York, 911 attacks? People need to DEMAND, DEMAND, ANSWERS for all the 911 attacks, and everybody involved in the investigation. They should've (Republicans) been this concerned when 3,000 people lost their lives. And the Pentagon got rammed into (especially). Is it because they were killed under a white man's watch? So, it's seen as just really a mishap, booboo, security glitch. Republicans really need to just knock it off, and give it REST.

OBAMA NOMINEES

Senator threatens to stall hearings

Graham wants more information on Libya attacks.

Sen. Lindsey Graham is accused of 'playing politics'.

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - A leading Republican senator said Sunday he would hold up Senate confirmation of President Barack Obama's nominees to head the Pentagon and the CIA until the White House provided more answers about the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. installation in Benghazi, Libya.

The White House took aim at South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a persistent critic of Obama's response to the terrorist assault, by urging quick approval of the president's second-term national security team and scolding any lawmakers trying to "play politics" with critical nominations.

Graham accused the White House of "stonewalling" requests to release more information about the attack that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. "We're going to get to the bottom of Benghazi", he told CBS' "Face the Nation".

A Democratic colleague branded Graham's threat to stall the nominations of former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., to be defense secretary and John Brennan, Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser, to be CIA director as "unprecedented and unwarranted". Senators should have the chance to vote on the fate of those nominees, said Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island.

The White House did not address Graham's demand for more information, but did note that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified Thursday before Congress about the chaotic day of the Sept. 11 attack.

In January, Graham had signaled he would delay Brennan's pick and told Fox News he would "absolutely" block Hagel unless Panetta and Dempsey testified about the Benghazi attack. The senator said he was happy when he learned the hearing with Panetta and Dempsey had been scheduled.

Republicans have accused the Obama administration of a cover-up of the attack, and at the hearing several suggested Obama was disengaged as Americans died.
