It's the new KKK, the Kerry kover for Kovert war. That Sen . Kerry has gone bad.
Sen.
John Kerry, who facilitated Obama’s illegal and unconstitutional war on
Libya, is now greasing the way for a cover-up of the Benghazi attacks.
At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting on Wednesday, Kerry
killed the bill introduced by Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Sen. Jim DeMint
(R-SC), which would have required the State Department to report to
Congress on last week’s attacks in Libya, Egypt, and Yemen within 30
days.
Instead, as Josh Rogin reports in The Cable blog, Kerry said the
Corker-DeMint bill was not needed, because the State Department is
setting up a panel (supposedly “independent and bipartisan”) to
investigate the Benghazi attack. Kerry said Wednesday that Deputy
Secretary of State Tom Nides had told him the State Department had
already begun setting up the panel, which, Kerry said, would be
independently appointed and accountable to Congress. However, this
panel, known as an Accountability Review Board, is only required to be
convened within 60 days of the attack, and then after conducting its
examination, it will report its findings to Congress — which clearly
Obama and Kerry hope will be long after the November elections.
Sen. DeMint’s reaction was this: “The attacks on American embassies
and diplomats are outrageous. The Administration owes the American
people detailed answers on how this happened and how it can be prevented
in the future. It now appears these violent acts may have been
coordinated terrorist attacks against America around the anniversary of
9/11. There may have even been warnings beforehand. Americans need to
know if we were properly prepared and what steps must be taken to
protect our diplomats in these dangerous environments.”
The House Oversight Committee sent a letter today asking for results of this probe by October 4th.
FURTHER: According to late news reports, Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton has appointed veteran diplomat and former Ambassador Thomas
Pickering to head the Accoutability Review Board. The highly-respected
Pickering is one of the most senior U.S. foreign service officers, and
was just in the news for the Iran Project report warning of the heavy
costs of a military attack on Iran. Pickering’s appointment suggests
that there is a fierce battle going on within the Adminstration and the
State Department, over Obama’s complicity in, and cover-up for, the
murder of Ambassador Stevens.
