The Obama Libya Cover-Up Explained (Long Article)

Bump!

[loveliberty2]

In all of this, we must not forget that on the same day - 9/11 - in Cairo, there were demonstrations which the Obama Administration's Embassy immediately blamed on criticisms of a religion, although, as the following post points out, there were indications during the event by the participants in that event that demonstrators were responding directly to America and its leader (see below).

There is an article today lauding David Gregory for criticizing the Administration's response to Benghazi. His describing it as "sluggish, sloppy, and incoherent" simply plays into the previous "progressive" narrative about Obama's first debate performance and, in many ways, avoids the deliberate avoidance of condemnation of the underlying reasons for presidential lying, coverup, and perpetuation of a myth from the very beginning of what amounted to an act of war against America.

Had this attack occurred during the watch of a Republican President, Gregory and his network colleagues would be all over the facts of inadequate security, loss of lives, and same-day reactions which were, on their very face, dishonest and did not fit the facts Americans were seeing on television from both Cairo and Benghazi.

Gregory deserves no credit for this belated attempt to excuse the Administration's actions as simply "sluggish, sloppy, and incoherent."

Where were they on 9/11 when, after a days-before DNC Convention where both the VP and President, in high-fiving for a domestic audience of potential voters, used words and phrases which wise and judicious leaders might have perceived as being potentially provocative for enemies in the Middle East, then immediately acted to attribute the Cairo demonstrations on 9/11 to an obscure film few had seen until they gave it PR and promotion which may have exacerbated the problem?

A review of FOX's first reports on Cairo included reports of individuals chanting, "Obama, Obama, we're all Osama," and taking down the American flag, replacing it with their own flag, and then continuing their verbal attacks on the name of the President and America. Where was Gregory when the question might have been asked, "What may have attracted such a direct attack on the American President, when, only hours later, they were burning likenesses in effigy?"

Of course, the Cairo Embassy reaction was summarized in the following article posted on FR on that day:

"An Appalling Statement from the President" - Townhall.com | September 11, 2012 | Carol Platt Liebau

"On 9/11, a day devoted to remembering those killed at the hands of Islamofascist terrorists -- and this year, a day when a mob in Egypt attacks the US embassy and replaces the American flag with the Al Qaeda one -- here is the Obama administration's statement in full:
'The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.'"

The above statement is the reaction Mitt Romney responded to initially, and for which he received such MSM and Dem indignation.

Why is no one questioning whether this entire coverup might have begun as a result of an unwillingness to accept any responsibility for Cairo and a determination to disassociate the messages of that crowd from the previous week's words and boasts? All of which was made worse when the Benghazi attack transpired.

OH you bet they would have. The left is so predictable.

Thanks again for another great post

This isn’t some kind of sudden surprise. Obama was aiding and abetting the enemy, and he knew perfectly well what he was doing—as did Hillary the Muslim lover.

Bush's idea that democracy would sweep the Middle East, because the Moslems were longing for freedom, just like us, was naive. By now, Hillary and Obama should have known better.

I feel compelled to post this again.

Interesting bit from last year, that I had filed in my memory under "Things That Make You Go Hmmm":

Pres. Obama Drops By Martha’s Vineyard Home of Comcast CEO
By Chris Ariens on August 22, 2011 10:39 AM

After golf and before his statement on Libya,* Pres. Obama stopped by the Martha’s Vineyard home of Comcast CEO Brian Roberts. That’s the motorcade, right. Comcast is the majority owner of NBCUniversal. From the pool report, on Politico:

The presidential motorcade on Martha’s Vineyard peeled out of Blue Heron Farms at 5:15 p.m. with the president and Valerie Jarrett in tow. …Obama and Jarrett arrived at West Tisbury home of their friends, Brian and Aileen Roberts, spokesman Josh Earnest informs us. It was 5:30 p.m. Roberts is chairman and CEO of Comcast.

...the mortar fire they met once arriving at the “safe-house” (CIA base) was very accurate —experts on scene described it as PROFESSIONALLY aimed, not typical of revolutionaries.

This is how I knew that the "spontaneous uprising" meme and the "Kidnap" rumor (that Obama arranged to have the ambassador kidnapped so he could rescue him) were both a lot of bovine excrement.

Spontaneous demonstrators don't carry mortars and RPG's around with them, even in Benghazi. Their prescence and use means this was a planned operation.

Kidnappers don't use mortars and RPG's either, since hostages aren't worth much when they're blown to bits.

Rush Limbaugh.com is the correct link.

The administration watched the 6 hour attack from video monitors in the WH and State Dept.

At no time did the CIC order ground and/or air support from US Navy vessels in the Med for American personnel falling under heavy enemy fire while on US soil.

Anyone asking why not?

Great post as always. After the last debate, Sen. Lindsay Graham was on a talk show lambasting the Administration's handling of the Benghazi situation. I'm sure the moderator and the viewers for the most part thought, 'yep, that's just a Republican politician jumping on the bandwagon to go after Obama.'

But Graham's demeanor was unusually aggressive and his words were very sharp especially on the issue of failing to respond to the Ambassador's pleas for beefed up security. Based on the discussion, Graham knows a lot about those days in Libya before and after the 9/11 attack, much more than any run of the mill Congressman.

Just wondering if he and Stevens were more than strangers passing in the night? Wouldn't be surprised if many in the closet with Stevens are ready to speak out.

I guess we won’t be hearing Hillary cackling We Came WE Saw He died anymore

Just seeing that clip of her is enough to make any sane person puke

[Texas Songwriter]

Catherine Herritage reported on Bret Bairs report that ‘it has been reported’ that this could have been an arms transfer assignment which Stevens went on and it went bad.

[Terry Mross]

This guy has been signing his name on pieces of paper and they become law. That’s why he thinks he can do anything he wants. And so far, he has because there has been no opposition party.

Where did you find out about this...?

Thanks. Also saw the Bret Baier segment last night that did a good job of laying all of this out.
