Admiral James Lyons (Ret.) Calls Benghazi Hearing "the tip of the iceberg"

By Roger Aronoff

Revelations at Wednesday's Benghazi hearings in Congress were "just the tip of the iceberg," said Admiral James Lyons (Ret.). I caught up with Admiral Lyons, the former Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and senior U.S. military representative to the United Nations, at a press conference in Washington today, and asked him a few questions. "We failed to protect those Americans who were under attack. There's no other way to describe it," said Lyons. Referring to the Obama administration's original story that it was the anti-Islam video that sparked a demonstration, which led to the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, Lyons said, "As Richard Nixon found out, you don't lie to the American public. Hopefully that theme will be picked up and carried on, and those that were perpetuating the lie will be held accountable. Resignation does come to mind."

Back in January, I had a much longer discussion with the retired admiral, about Benghazi, Hillary Clinton's testimony and question, "What difference does it make?," the Arab Spring, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Law of the Sea Treaty and much more. Adm. Lyons is a national treasure who candidly speaks his mind.
