Benghazi Index
Posted on 11/18/2012 10:07:26 AM PST by RoosterRedux
Until Friday, there were two possible explanations for why the White House failed to immediately call the Benghazi attack an act of terrorism. One was incompetence, the other was worse.
Now there is only one, and it is the worse one. Based on the persuasive testimony of ex-CIA boss David Petraeus, it is clear the Obama administration made a deliberate decision to mislead Congress and the American people.
The repeated claim that the attack was spontaneous and grew out of a demonstration against an anti-Islam video — a claim made by the president and secretary of State as they stood next to the bodies of four dead Americans — was a monstrous lie. It was vile and done for the basest of reasons.
Because we now know the truth of what happened — CIA reports were edited to remove the names of al Qaeda groups involved in the attack, Petraeus said under oath — we also know the motive. It was political self-preservation, meaning the president and his team put politics first.
The timing helps tell the tale. Just days removed from his Charlotte convention, where he danced on the grave of Osama bin Laden and boasted that al Qaeda was decimated, Obama couldn’t bear to admit that affiliated groups were thriving in North Africa. And he certainly couldn’t admit they had carried out a murderous attack on our consulate on the 11th anniversary of the most awful day in American history.
To do so would be to acknowledge the failure of his decision to ignore hard-line Islamists and that his team had erred egregiously in rejecting pleas for more security from Libya Ambassador Chris Stevens.

obama is a LIAR????? WHO KNEW????
Some people still aren't getting it. Obama's decisions have not failed. His policies have not been unsuccessful. His goals just aren't the goals that some people assume them to be. He's a different kind of president.

I bet more than once she heard “Wow, that is a broad well”
P.S. Im not given to salacious chatter here, but it was right there.
He WILL say 'act of terror', however. Act of terror can describe any malicious assault, including a man stabbing his wife in the kitchen.
Obama only mislead Obama voters.
Everyone else was smart enough to know he was lying.
The curious thing is if he had told them the truth-—that he sat and watched the whole thing in live action and did nothing, they would still vote for him.
0bama’s lies would not have been effective buit for the complicit media who covered for him. And still does.
All these Benghazi stories now make me sick; it’s too late to change the outcome of the election.
Thrice.
Broadwell seems to have been more of a self-server than a loyalist of any party. She had looked into running as a candidate - for either party, both of which were interested in her. Also, I suspect she really was smitten by Petraeus, since her book was one long hero-worship (although the brief affair didn’t begin until after he had left the military).
I also think Obama held this over the General’s head, and it was because Petraeus wanted to protect Broadwell that he didn’t just tell Obama to stuff it. Bear in mind that Petraeus was very PC, and also always did the bidding of whoever was in charge, like any good US military man.
The true Obama loyalists were the nutty Lebanese twins, who seem to have compromised half the US Central Command. In what sane world would they have been allowed that level of access?
But that’s because under Obama, the US has become nothing but a giant celebrity culture, where rap divas rule, 4 star generals are panting for a chance to be seen at the parties of self-promoting Kardashian look-alikes (who also got access to the White House), and nobody really cares about anything except powdering their wig, applying that charming little mole, and pulling up their silk stockings so they can turn a comely leg.
You’re right, it would have made no difference. Obama voters don’t care about what is theoretically their country or anybody in it. They live in this special place called Obamaland.
This is all going to crash down around us before too long.
“al Qaeda groups involved in the attack, Petraeus said under oath “
Patraeus was not under oath
I think that because lying to Congress is a felony, all such testimony is tantamount to being under oath. That said, I don’t think anyone has ever been found guilty of lying to Congress.
Think I found the guy who edited the CIA talking points. Here is a picture of him in the act of modifying the assessment.
WHO gave the order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?
WHEN?
WHY?
