The Scandal That Will Bring Obama Down [Benghazi-gate Good read]
westernjournalism ^ | Friday, January 11, 2013 | Floyd and Mary Beth Brown

It’s even worse than we previously thought. A retired four-star admiral is now claiming that Barack Obama intentionally conspired with America’s enemies to stage a bogus attack and the kidnapping of an American ambassador so he could “negotiate” the release of a “hostage” and bolster his mediocre approval ratings just prior to the election!

The Washington Examiner, quoting retired Four-Star Admiral James Lyons, writes: “the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi… was the result of a bungled abduction attempt…. the first stage of an international prisoner exchange… that would have ensured the release of Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheik’…”

But something went horribly wrong with Obama’s “October Surprise.” Although the Obama Administration intentionally gutted security at the consulate prior to the staged kidnapping, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed direct orders to stand down, saved American lives, single-handedly killed scores of attackers…and the attackers, believing that Obama had betrayed them, tortured Ambassador Chris Stevens and dragged his body through the streets.

Some will say that Admiral Lyons’ accusation is not a smoking gun. We agree; that’s exactly why Congress must investigate Benghazi-gate.

Moreover, we firmly believe the problem with Admiral Lyons’ assertion is that he is only scratching the surface; the full and complete truth may be much, much worse.

Benghazi-gate is not about a bogus YouTube video series of lies. It’s not about the Obama Administration’s foreign policy ineptitude. We are dealing with something much more sinister… something potentially treasonous… and the following questions, posed in an article in The New American, go to the heart of the matter:

1. ”What was the Obama administration’s full role in helping violent Jihadists, self-styled al Qaeda terrorists, and Western-backed “revolutionaries” take over Libya in the first place?

2. Did that half-baked scheme to arm Jihadist leaders, who… had previously fought U.S. troops in Iraq, contribute to the attack, as countless experts and officials have suggested?

3. What was actually going on at the compound in Benghazi, which, as the report states, was never a “consulate” despite establishment media claims?

4. Was Ambassador Stevens recruiting and arming Jihadists and terrorists to wage war on the Syrian regime after what Obama called the “success” in Libya, as a growing body of credible evidence suggests?

5. Why did the administration claim for so long that the attack was just a “protest” over a YouTube video gone awry, even when it knew definitively that was not the case?

6. Was the lack of security at the compound a political ploy to conceal the extent of the lawlessness and utter chaos left in the wake of Obama’s unconstitutional “regime change” war on Libya, as even members of Congress have alleged?”

It’s clear. Benghazi-Gate is only a small piece of a much larger operation, an attempt to conceal what The New American calls “the Obama administration’s full role in helping violent Jihadists and self-styled al Qaeda terrorists.”

Prior to the election Barack Obama continually told us that “Osama bin-Laden is dead and GM is alive”; but the sad truth is that Osama bin-Laden’s organization is alive and well, and the Obama Regime may be giving aid and comfort to this terrorist network.

And prior to the election, Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera pontificated that Republicans shouldn’t “politicize” Benghazi-gate. Swaggering onto the set of Fox and Friends, Rivera bloviated: “I think we have to stop this politicizing.” And Rivera issued the following veiled warning to Republicans: “Do we want to try and influence the election with a tragedy that happened in North Africa?”

Ironic, isn’t it? Barack Obama played politics with the lives of Americans; like Rivera, the media covered Obama’s rear and threatened to accuse anyone and everyone who mentioned it of “playing politics.”

Weak-willed Republicans apparently took Rivera’s threat to heart as Rivera also said that Republican Senators John Barrasso, James Inhofe, and Bob Corker, who all sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “all agree that the supercharged atmosphere around the story — prudence dictates that these hearings be postponed until” after the election.

Well, the election has come and gone. Congress now has no excuse. The American people needed the truth before the election; but now that Obama is back in the White House, real conservatives must demand answers.

The American people deserve to have those questions answered; and moreover, the American people deserve justice.

Yes, you are right, the politicians and justices are not doing their job. Not many of our elected or appointed have served one day in our military services. Most are lawyers and all they want to do is make more laws The elected for the most part, “want to serve our country”, but from the top, not put their lives on the line to fight for America’s Christian base. I have little to NO respect for our elected Republicans and NO respect for democrats. Their most important object, at all times, is winning the next election.

I believe 0bama was there, wanting a ringside seat when things got going, levaing while the match was lighted.

I remember those years.

There were at least fifty organizations of varying sizes*, as well as Larry Nichols, all dedicated to ousting clintoon.

Nothing ever came of it except those outfits got rich from $10, $20 donations from conservatives.....

Obama meets with Omar Abdel-Rahman (the Blind Sheik for those in Rio Vista) prior to release.

Obama: " OK Abdel-Rahman, I got your one way to Cairo on e-bay"

Omar: "you may call me Omar"

Obama: "Thanks Omar...and I got you a disguise as those pesky FReepers have an eye out for you"

Omar: "Let me consult with you later on that"

Obama: "I got it covered, what with the FEMA camps and a billion rounds of hollow point ammo."

Omar: "Keep up the good work my brother from another mother"

Obama: "And how was the American culture field trip to a noodling competition ?

Omar: ..."I caught an alligator."

Barack Obama continually told us that “Osama bin-Laden is dead and GM is alive”

I have little reason to believe either is true, but only the second part is somewhat verifiable.

That "for no eyes only" funeral seemed more like one for a highly honored hero or martyr than for the 9-11 mastermind and quite unlike that for Hussein.

I cannot reconcile any aspect, so I cannot say the official version is accurate or the end of that storyline. It is yet another bizarre event that looks more like propaganda and appeasement than truth.

The nagging sense/spidey sense that won't leave me alone is that something needs to bring owebama down before he brings us down.

If true, there will be less pain to act responsibly sooner rather than later. At some point, it really will be too late.

“Some will say that Admiral Lyons’ accusation is not a smoking gun.”

But, the Admiral is just making a assertion, made by bloggers and here.

Does he have any proof to back up the claim?

If he did, that would be good.

Someone needs to interview the people who were saved by the Seal’s intervention.

That would be dramatic and could make a story that would be hard for the MSM to ignore.

To some extent, my foot. What I don’t get from Freep and other conservative sites, I don’t get. How can I believe a word that members of the Journolist have to say? Once upon a time there were courses in J school in investigative reporting and in media law and ethics. It would serve the “media stars” right if General Petraeus would bring down the forked tongue in the White House.

The same site had an article about this very thing back in October of last year:

Did Obama Stage Benghazi Attack?
October 15, 2012 By C.O. Jones

I received a phone call from an old friend that has been in Washington D.C. for years and is fairly well-connected politically. What she told me was ugly and sinister, yet very compelling. She said she had received information from someone high up in White House circles, and wanted my thoughts. No, there is no leaked email, no concrete proof, and this article is based on “hearsay.” I’m not one that usually engages in or repeats hearsay, but if this is true, it could be the biggest story in 50 years.

...

Question remains...is it legit?

Point remains...Barry is untouchable with a terrified House, a do nothing Senate, a complicit SCOTUS and a cheer-leading media.
