I'm surprised at the Weekly Standard. The answer is a third likelihood (not possibility)... that the whole thing was preplanned and staged and somehow failed. It's becoming pretty clear that this is a scandal of enormous proportions.
I agree with the conclusion that we were lied to, but hard to understand why. No matter what the truth was going to come out. The CHAOS mongers will meet their day of reckoning...sooner than later I hope.
Let’s not forget about the dozens of people that were killed and injured around the world protesting at our Embassies because this administration put the focus on a film that no one would have even know or heard about if they weren’t so adamant about blaming it and talking about it.
It seems to stand as a fact they did not lift a finger before or during the attack to project anything but groveling before our enemies, so yes, it is conceivable they would be negligent in any follow up as well, even to the point of forensically destroying the scene of the "crime".
BTTT
VOTE HIM OUT.
His entire regime must go.
Thank you posting this. Finally, the first coherent version of the right questions being asked and threads being pulled.
I get it that a reflexive assumption could possibly be made that desk jockies might assume a protest, given the Cairo protest going on nearly simultaneously, but only for about 15 minutes, until you see full assault under way with major weapons, and you hear screams, “ATACK!” over and over. But two weeks calling it a protest? Come on...
What I don’t get is WHO came up with the youtube video fiction? What was THAT fiction suppose to accomplish?
You know there are people who think this was about scoring a point against free speech and give the treatment of the American Coptic Christian who produced it, you have to wonder.
That is another thread that needs to be pulled by Issa.
The Bengzazi consulate was in continuous radio communications with what would be a large group of people beyond just the State Department. It wasn’t a communications failure. We are to believe that during a six hour attack, with a one hour lull in the action, that nobody asked for approval to react or at least stage personnel and equipment? Patently absurd. The White House has a situation room for “situations”. This all was happening in the middle of the afternoon in Washington. Benghazi isn’t a story about failed intelligence...it’s about failed decision making before, during and after the attack.
Here is a thoughout assessment...
Col. Hunt On The Newest Libyan Revelations http://audio.wrko.com/a/64657882/col-hunt-on-the-newest-libyan-revelations.htm
Makes one wish again for a parliamentary democracy. The entire Cabinet resigns.
This subject was discussed in depth and MORE in the above thread. This article must be read by everyone and then we have to once again be the town criers and get this information out to all conservative media sources, to everyone you know. Listen to what Col. said at the link. Read about what was said by the State Dept. at Congressman Issa’s investigative committee and view the CNN video of same. All roads are leading to oboma, and that what happened at Benghazi was all by design. Read the article and the comments, which contains much new information and links. This story is huge, and the blood of Ambassador Stevens and those who died with him are on the hands of oboma, hillary, valerie jarrett and everyone else who was involved in this coverup of the truth.
I already like the title...
Far worse than the actual attack, rape and murders - which are bad enough - are the lies, attempt to use this crisis to subvert the first amendment of the US Constitution, coverup and media blackout conspiracy that followed.
Nixon was forced out of office for far, far less.
Gee, I didn’t know that it was the Inel folks who put out word that it was all caused by someone “abusing the Freedom of Speech part of the Constitution”. I wonder why we no longer hear those words - “ABUSE of the FREEDOM of SPEECH”. It looks like they have managed to bury one of the atrocities of thought.
WHERE is HILLARY??????
We need to tone down the wild conspiracy theories, like the ridiculous one about this being pre-planned, the ambassador was going to be kidnapped and traded for the blink sheik, etc.
The simplest explanation is best as put forth by John Bolton. The lie about the protests was concocted to cover up the fact that Obama did not neutralize Al Qaeda with the assassination of OBL, as he claimed and that the Arab Spring which he supported opened the door for rabid anti-US jihadists to take control of governments in Libya and Egypt.
The attack in Libya was an act of war but couldn’t respond as he should have and risk anti-US chaos in the ME right before the election.
So he wee-wee’d out and lied rather than admit he was on the wrong side in the Arab Spring, his killing of OBL did nothing to quell Al Qaeda, and to cover up his failure to be CIC.
Clinton went along because if she didn’t, she would be held to account as well.
It’s as simple as that, IMO. No need to go looking for far fetched conspiracies.
Of course Obama refers to Mohammed as a "Prophet" because he was raised in a muslim family in a muslim country and was enrolled in school as a muslim where he went to Koran class. Calling Muhammed a prophet is like if he were to refer to Jesus as "Our Lord Jesus Christ." Christians do not believe mohammed was a prophet. Mohammed said that Jesus was not the son of God, that God doesn't have a son and that Jesus' crucifixion was a hoax. To call Mohammed a prophet is to spit in the face of every Christian. Obama calls the Koran "the Holy Koran." Can you imagine Obama ever referring to the Bible as "the Holy Bible?" Of course not. That might offend Muslims.
