The Libya lie: Obama hid the truth
Manchester Union Leader ^ | October 4, 2012 | Editorial

Posted on 10/05/2012 10:21:57 AM PDT by billorites

Facts keep getting in the way of President Obama’s narratives. The most disturbing of the many examples: Libya.

We now know three things about the deadly attacks on our consulate in Benghazi that President Obama did not want us to know.

The State Department had warnings of an attack for months before it took place. A State Department official confirmed to a House investigative panel that “there were 13 threats made against the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, during the six months before the Sept. 11 attack on the facility,” CBS News reported on Wednesday.

The Obama administration failed to act on those threats. As CBS News reported, “the U.S. mission had made repeated requests for increased security” before the Sept. 11 attack. National Security reporter Eli Lake of Newsweek reported on Wednesday that the State Department denied those requests, and instead reduced security for our personnel in Libya.

U.S. officials knew within 24 hours of the attack that it was planned and executed by an al-Qaida affiliate. And yet the administration insisted that it was merely a rowdy film review. The President even went before the United Nations to blame and denounce the video, though he knew we had been attacked by terrorists.

There is no other conclusion but that President Obama deliberately deceived the American people to hide the fact that the nation had suffered a terrorist attack on his watch.

What do you mean hidden ?

It only took the FBI three weeks to get into the country, to sift through the debris . Maybe secret embassy materials were removed ; we already know that CNN found the Ambassador’s journal and had access two days after the attack.

This is the most transparent administration ever ... /sar

The real question is : Why did it take so long for the administration to react to the attack .

Obviously , the Commander-in-Chief needed his beauty rest, and went to bed for the upcomming fund raiseing in Los Vegas . Who do you want to answer the phone at 3 A.M. ?

Conjecture is that many of the support staff may have been there to recover the arms and missles that our Government sent as support to the rebels .
Perhaps they were killed by the very armlaments they were trying to recover.
Lets see if they can stall this inquiry and investigation as long as they did with “Fast and Furious” ; so far it is on about the same timetable !

General Michael Hayden said when asked about Bengazi,
he said it was Bengazi and it was September 11th,
his default position was it was planned terrorism.

There is a government bi-partisan committee being set up now , responding to complaints by Republicrat congressmen.

Considering the fact that the attack site has been tainted for the last three weeks (by rebels/Libyian military/newsmen , etc.), expect little additional new information .

Evidence of gun-running to the MB has to be concealed.

The left is in full HIDE THE DECLINE mode as unusal. The liberal mirror they use to VIEW THEIR PRINCE was cracked by Romney. Anybody realistically viewing the debate knows the gig is up for this crowd and obama couldn’t defeat Romney in a debate if he was allowed to use HIS TELEPROMPTER

Obama has managed to alienate the far-left Union Leader.
