House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) made the charge when discussing his panel’s probe of the Sept. 11 attack this year on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that left U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead.“We believe they didn’t want the appearance of needing the security. We want to put real security ahead of the appearance of not needing security,”Issa said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”“We are going through a ‘mission accomplished’ moment. Eleven years after September 11 [2001], Americans were attacked on September 11 [2012] by terrorists who pre-planned to kill Americans. That happened and we can’t be in denial, particularly when there are compounds all over the Middle East that need to be legitimately protected at a level that security professionals ask for,”Issa said of the attack in Libya. The “mission accomplished” comment is a reference to former President George W. Bush
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America."
