In the Name of National Security, Media Declares Libya a Non-Scandal

After yesterday's closed-door testimony of David Petraeus on the Hill, we now know for a fact that for two weeks the Obama Administration repeatedly and relentlessly lied to the American people about what they knew was the truth behind the September 11 anniversary attack on our consulate in Libya. Unfortunately, we also now know that they're going to get away with it.

Within 24 hours of a coordinated assault that left four Americans dead, then-CIA Director David Petraeus was convinced the intelligence proved a local Libyan militia affiliated with al-Qaeda was responsible, and said so in his report.

Then the Petraeus report was edited (probably by Eric Holder's Justice Department) to remove the terror angle and pile the blame on a spontaneous protest over a YouTube video. Over the course of two weeks, this blatantly false Narrative would only grow and sharpen, even though all knew it was a lie -- and by "all," I mean the White House, the terrorists, the media, and anyone with an IQ above room temperature.

In other words, what critics of the White House narrative knew to be true months ago, has now been verified. There's no longer any dispute that for two weeks the White House knew Benghazi was an act of terror and that for two weeks everyone from President Obama to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to White House spokesman Jay Carney to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton repeatedly told us something the Administration knew wasn't true.

And still, the media and Democrats don’t care....

We need someone with courage who will take the fight to them. Our representatives quiver over the likes of poor little Susie Rice, needing big bad Obamie to protect her. If she’s that damn fragile she needs to get a job where she, hopefully, won’t be faced with owning up to her failures. Perhaps a funeral home (with apologies to funeral folks). Don’t we have anyone willing to take the outrage of the fake press and speak the truth? Like you say, anyone.....

I guess the GOP doesn't care about the country. I guess they figure the essential power structure is in place and so "it's all good".

They like things just they way they are in DC.

Job number 1 is making sure they keep getting reelected at least twice so they can get 5 years of service and get that that congressional pension for life.

All of the Washingtonians from both parties are living in fat city no matter who is in the WH.

The last thing they want is somebody to come in and wake up the American people with the news that the greatest threat to American freedom , prosperity , liberty, and the pursuit of happiness isn't a bunch of ragheads in the middle east, it's the federal apparatchiks in DC and Arlington, and their propaganda wing in the press.

Am remembering the comment of ‘there will be information and disinformation’ from GW.

The questions are not silly. Answer to first question is yes. Do not know answer to second question.
