QOTD: "Senate Democrats on Monday blocked a request from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to approve a resolution supporting the creation of a select committee to investigate Benghazi....

“Here we are eight months later,” [Cruz] said. “The perpetrators still have not been caught and the confusion about what occurred on September 11, 2012, in Benghazi has only gotten worse.”

...[Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob] Menendez... argued that some of Cruz’s unanswered questions are political in nature, such as whether President Barack Obama slept the night of the attack that left four Americans dead. Menendez said a better question might be whether Obama was even told about the attack that night... ...Cruz pounced on that statement as an example of why a select committee is needed.

“The Democratic senator from New Jersey, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, just told this body that he has no idea if President Obama was even told four Americans were under terrorist attack,” Cruz said. “He doesn’t know what if anything the President could have done to save them... I would suggest that’s exactly the reason we need this committee.” " --Pete Kasperowicz
