Axelrod Throws State Department Under Benghazi Bus

The State Department is the latest casualty of the Obama administration’s obfuscation of the events surrounding the Benghazi attack.

Tearing a few pages out of the old Clinton playbook, David Axelrod carefully defined the word “we” this morning for Fox News’ Chris Wallace: when the Vice President said in Wednesday’s debate that “we” weren’t aware of the Benghazi consulate’s requests for increased security, “we” included only the President and the Vice President – not the Obama administration at large or the State Department. You got that, right?

In response to Wallace’s inquiry about whether the President takes personal responsibility for the denial of security requests in Benghazi, Axelrod said, “these were judgments that were made by security folks at the State Department.”

I don’t remember seeing Petraeus saying this to congress.

I don't EITHER!!!! I haven't seen hide nor hair of David Patreus at all. Where has he been? Has he been told to keep silent. Why won't someone ask about the CIA involvement? Why did it take the FBI still 17 days to get those Visas to get boots on the ground there? Why are we even considering voting Ozippy and his corrupt administration in for another 4 years?

Patraeus has not testified in front of congress to my knowledge.

One storyline is that Vernon Jarrett (Valerie’s father-in-law) picked young Barack (via Frank Marshall Davis) to be the beneficiary of Saudi money channeled by Khalid al-Mansour (birth name Donald Warden).

Valerie Jarrett hired Michelle, then Obama’s fiancee, when she worked for Chicago Mayor Richard Daley.

Now it’s down to just obama and Biden. Biden will be next to go under the bus.

[bert]

The question is the bus schedule. Will the bus run before or after the election

Our diplomats are killed and our government uses it as an opportunity to implement speech codes to silence criticism against islam.But we shouldn't worry about muslim infiltration that's just bigoted thinking!

In a heated and dramatic congressional hearing today, witnesses who served with the U.S. diplomatic corps in Libya and pushed for a stronger security presence repeatedly faulted the State Department for standing in their way – one even referring to the State Department officials he described as obstructionist as if they were Taliban terrorists.

The former regional security officer in Libya, Eric Nordstrom, recalled talking to a regional director and asking for twelve security agents.

“His response to that was, ‘You are asking for the sun, moon and the stars.’ And my response to him – his name was Jim – ‘Jim, you know what makes most frustrating about this assignment? It is not the hardships, it is not the gunfire, it is not the threats. It is dealing and fighting against the people, programs and personnel who are supposed to be supporting me. And I added (sic) it by saying, ‘For me the Taliban is on the inside of the building.’”

If Axelshaft thinks throwing the Clintons (Hillary and Bill) under the bus will save Barry, it's going to be total war between the Obama thugs and Clinton lovers. The Clintons don't take prisoners and Axelshaft may have a date in Ft. Marcy Park [ala Vince Foster].

Of course, the State Department could leak some of Barry's secret public documents and records he's hiding by “accident”.

Proverbs 6:16 Six things the Lord hates; in fact seven are detestable to him. Arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that plots wicked schemes, feet eager to run to evil, a lying witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.

absolutely correcto ! ! ! Doesn’t all this just make you sick?

I read this about Patraeus on the Luci page... in an article asking why we don’t hear from DP at CIA!

General is apparently seeking a colleges presidency position since he knows BO’s done. Princeton was a rumor two weeks ago, probably by Muchelle & Val Jar to ensure the Director of the CIA’s silence on the Benghazi lies. He faces a second income hit as his silence on BO’s multiple failures seems to have been bought by having Elizabeth Warren appoint Petraeus’ wife to a top spot in the new Consumer Protection unit of Dodd-Frank in 2011. So, for a little bit of Chicago to supplement his military pension, the Director seems willing to be a silent witness to a disastrous national security policy.

OHHHHhh PLEASE let this happen. This would be sooooo delicious to see the truth come out. It WILL come out, but I hope we are all around to see it. These people never deserved to be in charge of our great nation and deserve only to be punished for all the horrid things they did TO our country.

[himno hero]

With the taliban infiltration, there will never be a war against them. They are already winning against us.

Obama and his ilk have to go, and more people need to know.

Out, ym’ers

It is pretty evident to me that Benghazi is CIA. I don’t need to read the blog by the former employee of the State Department to figure it out. The annex is CIA.

CIA is America?????

Well...........

CIA was behind Operation Mockingbird and the infamous MK - Ultra - JUST FOR STARTERS.

And as for Operation Northwoods, I bet they would have gone along with it.After all, the Joint Chiefs signed off on it.

Petraeus told Congress that a video was behind the protest that caused Benghazi... in a private gathering.

A congressional source leaked it to Fox News.

I did NOT know that. Now there, you see why I always read FR? Thanks for the info.

Creamated? Well THAT would erase ALL evidence of exactly how this blessed man was tortured. After I read that part, weeks ago, I have literally had nightmares regarding the treatment he received. Totally heartbreaking. And all we heard from O is that this loss is a bump in the road.

I hope Romney says something about the bump in the road.

[Husker8877]

More like “KATHUNKA SLAM BASH KATHUNKA SCREECH CLANG BASH KATHUNKA JUNKA EARCHHHH!!!!!”
