Accuracy In Media ^ | February 14, 2013 | Roger Aronoff

Posted on 06/01/2013 10:28:01 PM PDT by Mortrey

ARONOFF: And then, three weeks later, The Washington Post went in and found other things that no one had even touched or picked up. I mean, it’s incredible.

ADMIRAL LYONS: What was it they wanted to keep our people from seeing there?

ADMIRAL LYONS: "This, again is the atmosphere, the mentality of political correctness. The Muslim Brotherhood has a plan: It is to institute sharia law in the United States in place of our Constitution—they call it the “Stealth Jihad”—and, in their own words, “to destroy us by our own miserable hands.” And they’re making quite an amount of inroads, as you’re witnessing today."

Admiral (Ace) Lyons was present at the press conference the parents of the SEAL Team 6 held.

When interviewed afterwards, he said the moslem brotherhood had infiltrated every government agency-and it had been ACCELERATED under the obama administration.

Even this is four months old, Admiral Lyons knows what he’s talking about.

Political correctness, almost the equivalent of refusing a vaccine. Foolish.

Thanks for the ping. We have mega smart FReepers who put 2+2 together immediately after this went down.

Reading that article was like reading a FReeper thread!

His kidnapping “story” is the ONLY logically reason for Amb. Stevens’ being ordered to the unprotected “mission” in Benghazi before and on 9/11. His body was captured and paraded through the streets of Benghazi for many hours. His bloody finger prints were all the walls of the building!!!

... Then there was the Marine unit that you wrote about, stationed in Sigonella, Italy; none of them went. But it looks like Panetta has changed his story on this—

ADMIRAL LYONS: …All those comforting words that “We don’t want to put our forces at risk.” We had people at risk—they were crying for help! In a situation, you go with the resources you have available—and, in this particular case, we did have that 130-man Marine force recon team sitting there at Sigonella. Even if I only got 50 of them over there, that would have been significant in turning the situation around. We may not have been able to save the ambassador, but we certainly could have saved those other two SEALs that were over on the annex.

And there’s another tactic that we’ve used over the years very successfully in dispelling mobs, and scenes like we witnessed there in Benghazi: We had F-16 aircraft that could have been there within a matter of an hour or two. What you have them do is, you have them make a low pass over the scene at full afterburner. It has a telling effect—it really gets their attention. Plus, with the equipment they have in their cockpit, they could have been utilized to take some offensive action—if we had the courage to do so. And there’s another thing here, too.

The independent Review Board made a statement that they made some request to embassies, but let me tell you this: I know of no request that was made to the Turkish Consul General, the Turkish Consulate, the Italian Consulate, or that British Security Team that was in Benghazi. All have said they received no requests for support. They went on to say, “If we were requested, we would have provided it.”

In short - the SEALS died - and everything about their death was a lie. The Washington Post and New York Times need to take a look at this now they know Obama's team's capable of lying.

It was murder. Preplanned, flat out murder. The blood on this administration’s hands is so deep they are swimmimg in it.

There really isn’t any other explanation. Well, not so far. Bet Obama’s team is focus group testing new lies... maybe ‘ required heroic sacrifice etc’ but it won’t hold. The press is catching on to who these people are... so the old easy lies aren’t going to be easy.

The US had the resources... had trained people who wanted to go... and the Obama Administration saying “no”.

Thanks Mesta. Admiral Lyons has a theory I have been following.
