The UK Independent reported that diplomatic sources said the threat of an attack was known to the Obama administration 48 hours before it took place. The Independent also reported that the alert was issued by the State Departments Bureau of Diplomatic Security, but not made public.
And still in the face of unimpeachable evidence to the contrary, Obama had a State Department spokesman claim: We are not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the US Mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent. (SEE: Libya: We gave US three-day warning of Benghazi attack; Kim Sengupta; 9/18/12)
Why is Obama lying? And while youre pondering that question, where is Hillary? She has been noticeably absent in this dog-and-pony show of even though we know that you know were lying, if we lie and deny long enough, the lie will become truth.
There are only so many plausible reasons for Obama to lie about what they knew and when they knew it. The reason that comes immediately to mind is that Obamas foreign policy has resulted in a catastrophic and comprehensive failure and loss of American lives.
Tangential to that is that the election is only weeks away and to that end Obama will do and say anything to get reelected. And while Romney may well be one of the most under-whelming candidates of all time, the last thing Obama wants is to face questions for which the only answer is that he has been a massive failure.
As long as he denies what was known and when it was known he can dodge and tell more lies during the debates. But one thing he will have a difficult time convincing reasonable minds about is why his FBI is investigating what amounts to an act of war.
Why is he treating an act of war and aggression on American soil, by those we have been at war with for a decade, like a criminal investigation? Are he and Holder planning to try whatever perpetrators they catch in our civilian courts? How is he going to explain to the American people that they must provide the best legal defense teams money can buy to defend those who committed an act of war against us?
The Middle East, thanks to Obamas flawed Neo-Leninist, anti-colonial ideology, is ten seconds away from full meltdown. And there is nothing he can do, (if he even wanted to), to change that.
As one pundit recently said: Obama has unleashed demons he cannot control. Of course, there is another reason to consider when asking why Obama is denying the attack was planned. His entire life, from what we know of it, has been one of denial and lies. He the most mendacious and dishonorable politician I have ever witnessed and that includes Bill Clinton.
To admit that the attack was planned and he took no action would be to assume responsibilityand assuming responsibility for his failure is not in his DNA. Ergo, the longer he denies and lies, the longer he will not have to confess responsibility for the powder keg he has created.
Of course, there is another reason to consider when asking why Obama is denying the attack was planned. According to Susan Rices page at Wikipedia: On March 29, 2011, Rice said that the Obama administration had not ruled out arming the rebels fighting to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Maybe Obama is worried well discover that it was U.S. guns they handed out earlier that were used to kill our citizensi.e., a Fast-and-Furious redux. Maybe hes developing a path to dodge those accusations should they become a reality. One thing is certain, with the Obama administration anything is possible and as were finding out, it usually is.
Crap, well I tried, but must have been sleeping at the switch.
