WASHINGTON (AP) — A House Republican chairman is doggedly pursuing the question of whether military personnel were told to "stand down" during the 2012 deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.

Other Republicans and military leaders insist there was no such order.

Congressman Darrell Issa's Oversight and Government Reform Committee is pressing officials in a series of closed-door meetings about the instructions from military commanders in the chaotic hours after the first attack and whether they were told not to assist Americans under siege.

The panel's persistence on an issue the military considers settled underscores that Republicans have no plans to relent in their politically charged investigation of the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans as President Barack Obama sought re-election that fall.

1. I thought they already did that 3 or 4 times?

2. Remember they have 45 times to go to match the number of times they've tried to

repeal Obamacare. It is a push poll of legislative moves...keeping the issue and the false context in the news.

3. the F-16s at Aviano...

were being made ready, or not?

just knowing that, would be helpful.

4. Where was Assa when Cheney stood down on 9/11?

A "real" stand down, and it gets pushed aside like it's just crazy. Why didn't our biggest DEFENSE building DEFEND itself? Now there's an investigation.
