Steyn: 'How empty and dead' were they to let Chris Stevens die for 'Obama-Clinton fiction?'
Daily Caller ^ | May 10, 2013 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 05/10/2013 8:16:30 AM PDT by Rufus2007

On Hugh Hewitt’s Thursday night program, National Review columnist Mark Steyn explained why the Obama administration’s response to last September’s terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was so appalling.

“They let him die, and then told lies over his coffin,” he told fill-in host Guy Benson.

Steyn said that the late U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was a true believer of President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s view of the Arab Spring, that it was a positive movement and was trying to make the best of it. Clinton and senior State Department officials, he said, let Stevens die, meaning that he was “sacrificed for the Obama-Clinton fiction of the Arab Spring.”

Then I pity Stevens for his naivete. When serving corrupt masters one shouldn't be surprised when they sacrifice you for their own ends.

Nothing really new here......lessons Hillary learned from Bill during the events surrounding the death of Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and others.

— Then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Jan. 23, 2013:

“I wasn’t involved in the talking points process.... As I understand it, as I’ve been told, it was a typical interagency process where staff, including from the State Department, all participated, to try to come up with whatever was going to be made publicly available, and it was an intelligence product.”

“With all due respect,the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?”—Hillary Clinton

"“They let him die, and then told lies over his coffin,”

That pretty much says it all.

Somebody say it. Hillary looks like she’s wearing a Groucho Marx disguise and straining at a bowel movement in those pictures.

Clinton and senior State Department officials, he said, let Stevens die, meaning that he was “sacrificed for the Obama-Clinton fiction of the Arab Spring.”

This is really the key point that needs to be hammered home: When facts contradict the Left's worldview, they have no problem killing or allow someone to be killed to uphold that false worldview, even if only for a brief time until they can figure out their next move.

Rand showed us the end point of such a government in Atlas Shrugged: Project X. They'll kill millions of us if we counterrevolutionary bastards refuse to shut up and stop pointing out inconvenient facts.

The most likely truth in this tragedy is what Admiral James Lyon is saying: “A pre-planned kidnapping attempt of the Amb. Stevens unexpected went wrong”!!!

"I think there’s compelling evidence she [Hillary] actually perjured herself when she testified on this.”

A Clinton committing perjury before a Congressional investigation? That's just hard to believe. BTT.

Oaths and vows mean nothing the criminal Clintoons and their underlings.

Not only are Obama, Hillary, the administration and the media empty and dead, so is America.

This country has become an empty husk, just likes its leaders.

Our government is run by liars, cowards, thieves and murderers, and we do nothing.

Fort Hood: "Not terrorist. Workplace Violence."

Benghazi: "Not terrorist. Angry film hating mob."

Boston Bombers: "Not associated with any terrorist groups. Lone wolves."

559 pounds of explosives stolen from the government in Montana. "We don't know where it is but the theft is not believed to be terrorist related".

This Country is being run by idiots.
