Obama seeks fuller understanding of what happened in Algeria siege | No mention of Americans or What Happened in Benghazi
Too bad President Obama does not display the same kind of “fuller understanding” about Benghazi which left four Americans, including our Ambassador to Libya, dead. The has been months since the 9/11 attack and the Administration continues to stonewall any inquiries and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has yet to make a formal statement to Congress.
Obama seeks "fuller understanding" of what happened in Algeria siege
President Barack Obama offered on Saturday to provide any assistance the Algerian government needs after a deadly hostage siege at a desert gas plant and said the United States was seeking a "fuller understanding" from Algerian authorities of what took place there.
"The thoughts and prayers of the American people are with the families of all those who were killed and injured in the terrorist attack in Algeria," Obama said in his first comments on the hostage crisis.
Obama's written statement was issued by the White House after the Algerian army carried out a dramatic final assault to end a siege by Islamist militants in which 23 hostages were killed, many of them believed to be foreigners.
The statement made no mention of Americans who were caught up in the hostage crisis. One American has been confirmed dead, and a source close to the crisis said two Americans were among those freed as the Algerian army closed in.

Bottom line …
It is almost as if the President were trying to run out the clock on Benghazi and simply drop the matter. Not surprising, as a real investigation might reveal criminal gun running activities to Islamic Jihadists, our enemies, and become a major scandal rivaling the Iran-Contra affair.
Do not let the President get away with Benghazi without a full and complete explanation of the events – including malfeasance in providing adequate security and refusing to defend Americans under fire.
