(TheBlaze/AP) — A senior Republican senator Sunday accused President Barack Obama’s aides of deliberately covering up the details of the Sept. 11 attack in Libya that killed a U.S. ambassador so voters wouldn’t question Obama’s handling of the war on terror.
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a long-time point man for the GOP on national security issues, said he believes the administration knew within 24 hours of the assault that it was a coordinated militia attack and was not tied to other anti-U.S. protests across the Middle East. According to Graham– who is investigating the attack– the administration suggested otherwise so voters wouldn’t think Obama’s foreign policy in the Middle East has failed.

“They’re trying to sell a narrative, quite frankly, that the Mid-East– the wars are receding and that al-Qaeda has been dismantled. And to admit that our embassy was attacked by al-Qaida operatives, and [in] Libya leading from behind didn’t work, I think undercuts that narrative. They never believed the media would investigate, Congress was out of session, and this caught up with them. I think they’ve been misleading us, but it finally caught up with them.” After Bob Schieffer said it was a “very serious charge” for the senator to level, Graham continued:
“Either they’re misleading the American people, or incredibly incompetent. There was no way with anybody looking at all that you could believe five days after the attack that it was based on a riot that never occurred… This is the same administration that leaks every detail of classified operations that are successful… When something goes bad, they deny, they deceive, and they delay. And the truth is, we’re not safer. Al-Qaeda is alive– Bin Laden may be dead–Al-Qaeda is alive, and they’re counter-attacking throughout the entire region.
Yuh think?
Were we to have a justice dept of above room temp lawyers instead of the corrupt Dork-O-Rama currently infecting Washington, the Obamafool/cretin would have been impeached, convicted, imprisoned and returned to Kenya a thousand times over.
It’s becoming more obvious by the day.
This shows us the problem with early voting. Something serious like this just could change minds....a lot of minds.
Who woke him up?
Little worried about 2014 there, Linda?
No fly’s on him!
Zacly which is why the Dems push it so hard.They want you to vote early and often!
Lest we forget, this little fag and his puppet handler McCain were all up in love with the Arab springers in Egypt and Libya. They are both a big part of buying into and selling the arab democracy lie.
If prissy Lindsey can finally see it then obvious it must be.
“he believes the administration knew within 24 hours of the assault that it was a coordinated militia attack and was not tied to other anti-U.S. protests across the Middle East. “
I believe the WH knew it was a terrorist attack from the very beginning, whilst the attack was still ongoing.
No kidding. Total A** Clown.
AND Hillary Clinton’s very own bedmate is one of them.
AND the President.
Gosh, I wonder why they won’t go away, right?
Miss Lindsey is on the ropes. He needs to be primaried out of existence.
So he’s WITH the Republicans today? How long will this last?
Looks like Lindsay is doing the same as Obama, “leading from behind”. There is a whole lot more going on with Obama’s Middle East policy than just screwing up in Benghazi.
