The man behind the Benghazi cover-up?
American Thinker ^ | 05/04/2013 | Ed Lasky

Posted on 05/05/2013 6:28:17 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard has a must read column regarding the Benghazi cover-up by White House officials CIA career officials clearly and repeatedly identified Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda-linked Islamic terrorists as the culprits behind the murder of four Americans.

Of course, this would cause embarrassment for the Obama team, especially in the few weeks before the election. They had been boasting for years that Al Qaeda had been decimated, the "tide of war" was receding; they had been on a mission to whitewash the prospect of Islamic terrorism as a threat to America (see Lauri Regan's superb column ("Can a President who has promised to stand with Muslims protect America? ). Obama's Cairo speech before an audience that included Muslim Brotherhood officials that he compelled Egypt to include, was a paean to Islam. It was also, to a great extent, a work of fiction that included grandiose and subsequently disproven claims about the positive contributions Islam has made to America and the world.

That speech was written by Obama's foreign policy speechwriter and now National Security Council team member, Ben Rhodes.

That is the man who Hayes "outs" as a key person behind the Benghazi cover-up.

He reportedly altered the CIA talking points to delete references to Islamic terrorists, "attacks" (they became "demonstrations") and other negative references to Islamism. Also, someone at the White House level apparently dreamt up the idea of blaming an inconsequential video for triggering a spontaneous protest, that in the frenzy of events, led to the murder of Americans. These CIA talking points were eviscerated to whitewash the role of Islamic terrorism.

There was a White House whitewash that should not be dismissed over events that occurred a 'long time ago;"

Rhodes = “kinetic military action”

I wonder what the appeal is for him to come from obscurity so quickly to such a prominent position with Obama.

Somebody tells this fiction writer what they want to say. These speeches aren’t his ideas. They are in response to a request by someone higher up i.e. Valerie Jarrett. This will make him the fall guy.

"No. Tell Hillary to stay where she is. And when she comes back, she will be sick."

"We could say she had a head injury."

And we'll have Susan Rice go on Sunday News shows and say it's all because of the video"

"Tell Carney to say.... Benghazi was a long time ago."

"Whistleblowers?. What the heck are we gonna do now mr. smarty pants.?"
