Doomed Libya ambassador: 'We're under attack'
CNN ^ | May 8, 2013 | Alan Silverleib, CNN Congressional Producer

Posted on 05/08/2013 5:35:26 PM PDT by mdittmar

Washington (CNN) -- Late on the night of last September 11, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens spoke to his deputy for the final time from the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

"Greg, we're under attack," Stevens told Gregory Hicks.

Within hours, Stevens and three other Americans were dead, victims of an armed terrorist assault that has since become a political and foreign policy flashpoint in Washington's partisan wars.

Good points, they screwed up wildly before, during and after.

I was thinking simply that we need a viral video, starting in the style of Hillary’s 2008 attack ad (maybe using that exact footage), and then recounting all the failure and dishonest on display throughout this sorry saga.

Anyone know someone who can put together such a video with very high production quality? I think it could convey the essentials and go viral if done well enough.

Few in the public will wade through all the details even though they should!! We need something that can be posted and forwarded all over the web until enough “low information” voters get the message that the Obama/Hillary train wreck should keep the Demagogues out of office for many years to come.

Yes. Hillary helped prepare a case against Nixon.

That would be good. Someone is likely to do that.

This just continues to piss me off to no end.

What if our CIC or our SOS were in such a position ...have to “radio” for help ...and yet were denied that help from their fellow countrymen? From the military with all its assets?

Oh, but that will NEVER happen, because they are 1. never put into harm’s way and 2. they are constantly protected, at all times, round the clock, by our military!!!

Our representatives had neither of these luxuries. They were left hanging ...completely. They called for help. They were DENIED help, with the full knowledge that they needed help.

The cowardice and disinterest of the Democrats, their snowing and spinning in this matter just DISGUSTS me SO badly I just have no words for it.

What if this was THEIR kid??? Their son???

This STINKS to high heaven!!! What the F happened here??? Why cannot SOMEONE come clean on this?? This NOT American ...it’s total EVIL what is going on here. I just pray someone has the balls to come out and TALK on this, for God’s sake!!

There are few in DC that are going to say and do what is needed. They are either cowards or as dirty as Clinton and Obama.

What difference would it have made if they had sodomized Hillary instead of the Ambassador???

First of all, it would have been just reward & reaping for her life of evil & deception.

However from an 0bama standpoint, I doubt anything would have changed.... 0bama is a die-hard muzzzie radical socialist & hater of America, and if Hillary had happened to be there, I believe the attack would have continued as it did. To hard core socialist radicals (like 0dumb0 & the American lefties) nothing & I mean nothing is more important than advancing the left-wing, socialist ideology at all costs, including pandering to the muzzies!!!

LITTLE KNOWN BENGAZI BITS:

The Safe-Haven contained a small bathroom with a mirror, and Stephens WROTE SOME MESSAGE on that mirror, something like, “This is Chris, from beyond the grave”

When the bodies were flown back they did NOT go 2 Dover, per protocol —they went to Andrews, and that was to save time for Obama, who was in campaign mode; even AFTER the tragedy Obama was STILL thinking about himself.

I am surprised it has not completely demoralized the libs in the State Dept. Maybe it has. They have to know what happened. I don’t know how they can trust anyone in DC.

Yes ... And Obama thanked the attackers for dragging ... Er “carrying” the ambassador to hospital. They wanted to make the ambassador as comfortable as possible so they “removed” some of his clothing. They knew he was gay so they thought they would “entertain” the ambassador with a pole up his you-know-what on way to hospital.

“We’re under attack.”

“What difference does it make?”

But isn’t that the real question that these hearings have brought to light, taxpayers pay billions of dollars so the Pentagon has fast reaction military options available like the FEST, et.al.,

You can say the same about our lawless borders, which we pay hundreds of billions to the government to protect, yet tens of millions form an endless conga-line and enter at will.

Once again, the American people get economically gang raped by government.

As a Muslim, Obomba knows Islam is all about "triumphalism"
---thus the push to build a mosque near the 9/11 WTC site.

We need to consider the possibility that the 9/11
Benghazi attack was facilitated by Obomba---to celebrate
the WTC tragedy. He is one the 100 million America-hating Islamics.

Dennis Miller nailed it on O'Reilly----If American soldiers had killed four Benghazi jihadists,
the WH would not have hesitated---would have thrown them in jail, and publicly disgraced them.

===============================================

NOT PHOTOSHOPPED---A photo trip to his Kenyan homeland---when Obomba was age 23-24.
2008 primary candidate Hillary had these pics but Teddy Kennedy warned the Clintons not to use them

Obama's brother Malik holds up photo.

Info like this makes me still think that a kidnapping was what was planned, but Al Qaeda found out and replaced the kidnappers with themselves.

My question is still why? It appears to me that this was a hit on Stevens by our current government. I don’t see any other conclusion to this. But why?
