Questions remain about Benghazi consulate attack that killed four Americans.

Americans still don't know exactly what happened during the assault Sept. 11 on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. There are indications that the Obama administration was aware Ambassador Christopher Stevens had requested additional security days before the attack. It now is acknowledged the attackers were not protesting an anti-Islam movie produced in the United States.

"The Obama doctrine doesn't match the reality of the jihad threat," Walid Phares told us; he's a global terrorism expert and adjunct professor at National Defense University, which is funded by the Defense Department. Referring to President Barack Obama's approving the killing of Osama bin Laden, Mr. Phares said the president "tried to eliminate [al-Qaida] by one beheading of its ailing leader, while ignoring the body of the organization, its ideology and the madrassas, the real factories producing more Jihadists and terrorists."

Lets see this again:

"The Obama doctrine doesn't match the reality of the jihad threat,"

Pretty tame stuff for the OC Register.

So what is in the LA Times is a good question....

And we do have this:

***************************EXCERPT************************************

Ambassador Stevens, killed along with three other Americans, did not have a detail of U.S. Marines in Benghazi. In contrast, Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to the president, had a full Secret Service detail accompany her on vacation in Martha's Vineyard.

"Mr. Phares contends the Obama administration may have hesitated to link the Benghazi attack to Islamist terror because that would have contradicted the president's statements that al-Qaida had been greatly weakened."

Of course many of us have been voicing that view for well over a month.

"The Obama doctrine doesn't match the reality of the jihad threat,"

Bump!

Well the news is working it’s way up....the chain... so to speak.

[Marine_Uncle]

Perhaps some kind soul should send some vitamins to the alphabets in order to give them strength to do some actual reporting in the days to come.

MOST EXCELLENT!

Good grief. The citizen’s of the United States have the failed results of Obama economic policies slapping them in the face every day. Obama isn’t covering that up. If Benghazi was just about incompetence, Obama would just smile and say, “Live and learn and re-elect me.” He’s working hard to cover up Benghazi. That’s because it’s not about incompetence, it’s about his greed. Look at illinoispaytoplay.com there’s a three part story there about Obama and his buddies making money off fighting in the Middle East. IT IS ABOUT THE MONEY.

Quick Look ...this is recent...haven't read it.

A conservative's challenge to the so-called mainstream media: Where is the feeding frenzy on the Libya story?

October 30, 2012|Jonah Goldberg

If you want to understand why conservatives have lost faith in the so-called mainstream media, you need to ponder the question: Where is the Benghazi feeding frenzy?

Unlike some of my colleagues on the right, I don't think there's a conspiracy at work. Rather, I think journalists tend to act on their instincts (some even brag about this; you could look it up). And, collectively, the mainstream media's instincts run liberal, making groupthink inevitable.

O has a doctrine.. wow. could have fooled me.

I hope he doesn’t trip over his prayer rug in the Oval Orifice when he pushes it hard. Could make for quite a mess.. beer and ice cream and cigarette butts all over the rug.. his WH miniputt course w/sand traps may be in need of debris removal after Sandy..

he reminds me of a kid.. an angry kid sometimes. but still, a kid.

ROFL!

That is great.

the Obama administration was aware Ambassador Christopher Stevens had requested additional security days before the attack. It now is acknowledged the attackers were not protesting an anti-Islam movie produced in the United States.

"It is now acknowledged" by whom? Obama hasn't acknowledged no such thing. It's called 'plausible deniability," and the preezzy has decided to run with that.
