Obama Caught In His Own Rope A Dope
Flopping Aces ^ | 10-1-12 | Skookum

They Comfort Each Other Over The Deaths They Caused

The White House, aided by its state-directed media feels no responsibility to tell the American people the truth; in fact, everything we hear from the Obama Administration is filtered through a propaganda process, until it is judged beneficial to President Obama.

The official White House account of the Benghazi terror attack suggests it happened because, there was no “actionable” intelligence to suggest the consulate office was in danger.

Apparently, the Red Cross seems to have a better intelligence team than the United States.

According to the Washington Post:

Security in eastern Libya deteriorated sharply in recent months. A string of attacks, some linked to fundamentalist groups, made clear that Westerners were no longer safe. The International Committee of the Red Cross suspended operations and evacuated staff in the east after an attack June 12 on its compound in the port city of Misrata. In Benghazi, convoys transporting the U.N. country chief and the British ambassador were attacked in April and June, respectively. The British government shut down its consulate soon afterward.

The U.S. outpost had a close call of its own June 6, when a small roadside bomb detonated outside the walls, causing no injuries or significant damage. But the Americans stayed put.


Hillary and Obama Try To Organize Their Lies AsThe Bodies Of Americans Slain By Terror Arrive Home

The Red Cross realized the severity of the situation and pulled out. The British realized the danger and pulled out. Our State Department decided we could stay without increasing security.

The Red Cross and Britain aren’t headed up by BHO, after his Cairo speech, these people of the Middle East love him; at least, Obama's confidence seems to be predicated on this assumption, despite a bomb being detonated earlier this year outside the same consulate office. They made no effort to meet the strict safety standards for government buildings overseas, nor they post a Marine guard as is customary in high-threat situations.

A U.S. military team assigned to establish security at the new embassy in Tripoli, in a previously undisclosed detail, was never instructed to fortify the temporary hub in the east. Instead, a small local guard force was hired by a British private security firm as part of a contract worth less than half of what it costs to deploy a single U.S. service member in a war zone for a year.

How did the Obama administration respond to the threat that drove other westerners out: he continued to use cheap British contractors, who employed local personnel. The year-long contract was for $387, 413. It is interesting to know how much value the Obama administration places on its ambassadors and embassy personnel. Valerie Jarrett had a Secret Service detail with her in Martha's Vineyard. Ambassador Stevens had unarmed locals in Benghazi.

The New York Times offers up this tidbit of carefully timed and released inside information from the White House:

The picture...the poor, pitiful picture of remorse and sadness...oh, the humanity!.....they were heartbroken and inconsolable!

Reminds me of the time when Slick was caught leaving Ron Brown's funeral laughing his ass off and then espying the telephoto-ed camera watching them....a MID-STEAM switch from laughing to wiping a tear from his eye! Consummate actors and posers, one and all.

In reality, whatshisface dead buy ambassador is a "bump in the road" and Hillary is laughing her ass off at the idiot that beat her out of the WHITE HOUSE only because he is half-black at that.

The US Libyan Embassy had information about the June attacks on it’s website as a warning for Americans. (June 6th and June 12th_). For the Administration and the State Department to claim they didn’t know is a LIE.

Attack in Benghazi
June 11, 2012

U.S. citizens are advised that there was an armed attack on a UK diplomatic convoy in Benghazi on June 11. Two individuals sustained injuries. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. This incident is a reminder of the fluid security situation in Libya and is the latest in a series of attacks in Benghazi against diplomatic and international installations, including the IED attack against the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi on June 6. U.S. citizens in Libya are urged to exercise caution.

IED Attack in Benghazi
June 6, 2012

U.S. citizens are advised that there was an improvised explosive device (IED) attack on the U.S. Office in Benghazi during the early morning hours of June 6. There were no casualties. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. This incident is a reminder of the fluid security situation in Libya.

I have to disagree with the first four. He is intentionally bring this country to its knees so it will willingly participate in the UN led New World Order. He is proving very competent and able to achieve his goal. TREASONOUS fits to a tee and aptly describes this administration. I hate when words like incompetent and ignorant are used to describe Obama because they tend to excuse him and treason is inexcusable. Those words are not strong enough to portray the evil that motivates these people.

They were two former Navy SEALs and they weren't there to be anyone's security. They were there for some other reason which hasn't been disclosed. When the consulate annex (safe house as the press has called it) was attacked they did what men like that do they defended the lives of others and died doing it.

No, they were definitely not Ambassador Stevens’ security. They weren’t even at the main consulate building. Speculation is that they were there, working for the U.S., to recover manpads that Gaddafi had stockpiled and were sacked by jihadi looters during the 0bambi/NATO kinetic action in Libya.

They probably won't be of any help.

I tried to cover ALL the bases, even throwing in ‘the benefit of the doubt’, but I have to agree that with Obama and Holder, everything is by ‘design’ and premeditated action. So, “Treasonous” is a more accurate reflection of ‘premeditated’ action.

Here is a new article that says the former SEALs were private security employees. Strange that other reports say that security was provided by a British firm called Blue Mountain and their employees were all Libyans. We aren't going to get much truth from the press.

This scandal could dwarf 'Fast and Furious'

Will look at the video later. You may have been the one that mention them looking for manpads to me before. I had linked an article that talked about them perhaps still working with Al’Queda in Libya like we had before Kadafi(sp?) was overthrown.

I can see covering things up if they were CIA looking for man-pads. If they were CIA still working with Al’Queda (for our government) - not so much.

I haven't read anything definite about them but they could have been CIA working with (sort of) Al-Qaeda to get manpads back. Those aren't mutually exclusive things.
