Obama: U.S. ‘Once Again Demonstrated We Will Do Whatever It Takes’ for Benghazi Justice
Pajamas Media ^ | 06/18/2014 | Bridget Johnson

President Obama said the capture of a suspect connected with the Sept. 11, 2012, consulate attack in Benghazi proves “the United States has an unwavering commitment to bring to justice those responsible for harming Americans.”

“Since the deadly attacks on our facilities in Benghazi, I have made it a priority to find and bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of four brave Americans,” Obama said in a statement released by the White House. “I recently authorized an operation in Libya to detain an individual charged for his role in these attacks, Ahmed Abu Khatallah. The fact that he is now in U.S. custody is a testament to the painstaking efforts of our military, law enforcement, and intelligence personnel.”

“Because of their courage and professionalism, this individual will now face the full weight of the American justice system.”

Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said this morning that on Sunday the U.S. military “in cooperation with law enforcement personnel” captured Khatallah, a commander with Ansar al-Sharia. “He is in U.S. custody in a secure location outside of Libya.”

“There were no civilian casualties related to this operation, and all U.S. personnel involved in the operation have safely departed Libya,” Kirby added.

Khatallah was charged in July with playing a role in the attack.

or why ‘we’ were shipping arms to the enemy (the definition of aiding the enemy)

Yeah—whatever it takes, jail a filmmaker, don’t jail the Secretary of State or anyone in the department, and most importantly, don’t jail yourself Odingo.

I struggle daily with anger for this corrupt kenyan’s POS administration.

Well, so be it. The kenyan will never allow anyone to be held accountable.

Want to be that they negotiated with this guy for a year, picked him up voluntarily (staging it to look like a take down), and got him to agree to say it was a “video” that made him do it.

Insult to injury, I bet the democrats have legal status for him and he is registered to vote by the end of October.

This whole thing...the thirty-odd CIA guys sitting around in some little house...etc...all leads back to weapons sales that we weren’t willing to tell the Senate about. That’s the sad part of the story. And the Senate? They still act like they matter?

And after an unspecified number of days subjected to 24V truck battery packs connected to his nutsack, he will declare it was truly the video that spontaneously incited him to avenge.

Maybe, just maybe there will be a prosecutor astute enough to ask this guy to explain the famous Hillary Video and tell the jury what it was about and what part offended him the most.

"..I have made it a priority to find and bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of four brave Americans,” Obama said

the man ( and I use the term loosely) called Benghazi a phony scandal....and yet so many people will believe this. He mocks us every day. He spits in our faces every day with lies, lies LIES!

This is now an anti-Hillary campaign.

Have been saying she won't run and the Dems will pull someone out of their hat just like they did with Obama.

The candidate will be neat and articulate and white....and have MANY Hispanics in his family line.

I cannot imagine the level of stupidity required to actually believe this drivel.
