The
U.S. House of Representatives' Benghazi investigation needs to talk
with Marine Corps Colonel George Bristol who was in a key position in
our Africa Command (AFRICOM) on September 11, 2012, the night of the
attacks on our Benghazi "Special Mission." Bristol's AFRICOM superiors
Rear Admiral Brian Losey (still on active duty) and General Carter Ham
(now retired) have been questioned by the House, but Bristol is nowhere
to be found. He is missing in retirement.
CBS reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, indicates that the Defense Department, perhaps, is not allowing Bristol to testify, although that is not a clear point:
Bristol,
a martial arts master, was commander of Joint Special Operations Task
Force-Trans Sahara based in Stuttgart, Germany until he retired last
March. In an article in Stars and Stripes,
Bristol is quoted at his retirement ceremony as telling his troops that
"an evil" has descended on Africa, referring to Islamic militant
groups. "It is on us to stomp it out."
At the time of his retirement, Colonel Bristol was the Joint Special Operations Task Force-Trans Sahara Commander.
