Another Bump In The Road For Obama
Posted on 09/28/2012 2:17:34 PM PDT by Starman417
Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Senator John Kerry, have circulated a bipartisan letter asking for "an accounting of the attacks against U.S. missions in Egypt, Libya, and Yemen," from President Obama. The Senators also want to know what advance warnings the administration had of the attacks and whether the administration shared that information with the personnel involved in the attacks.
They are also asking why the administration refused to acknowledge that the attacks were planned by Al Qaeda for several days after the attacks.
This is significant, because of it being the first time Democrats have questioned the administration's foreign policy and its integrity.
Soon after the attack, the administration's intel picked up the celebratory announcements of al Qaeda as they reported the successful attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
In the hours following the 9/11 anniversary attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, U.S. intelligence agencies monitored communications from jihadists affiliated with the group that led the attack and members of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the group’s North African affiliate.In the communications, members of Ansar al-Sharia (AAS) bragged about their successful attack against the American consulate and the U.S. ambassador, according to three U.S. intelligence officials who spoke to The Daily Beast anonymously because they were not authorized to talk to the press.
Soon afterward Jay Carney and Ambassador Rice were lying to the public to protect the president's image so close to the election and after saying he had neutralized al Qaeda after the assassination of Bin Ladin and multiple successful drone strikes.
Is this enough to swamp the presidency of Obama, who referred to attacks and deaths of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans as bumps in the road?
Are the American people willing to live behind a curtain of deceit, fabricated solely to make Obama look good. This seems to be the level of truth in the Obama Administration, everything is equivocated on how it makes Obama appear to the public.

I would bet Kerry was against this.
They don’t need to write a letter. Just ask Anderson Cooper to see Chris Stevens’ diary. Its all in there.
“I think there’s been a very, very serious breach of decorum by Mrs. Clinton in not offering to resign over failure to protect her diplomats adequately. She’s in charge of the ambassadors, she’s in charge of the foreign service. She absolutely should not have let those people go to Benghazi, which she knew was in a state of extreme unrest, without having adequate protections. That was a very serious mistake that cost several people their lives, and she’s responsible.”~~~Ben Stein

Kerry and his partisan others will insist on details that are confidential, this will first and foremost result in delay, secondly this will stiffle the hearing with lengthy closed sessions (drama) to consume confidential material -which will ultimately introduce doubt. This is good gamesmenship.
