Obama Knew
American Spectator ^ | 1025/2012 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 10/26/2012 4:28:30 AM PDT by IbJensen

Did ideological soft spot for Sharia keep U.S government from protecting Benghazi consulate?

Obama knew.

Say again, Obama knew.

So. The question.

If what happened in Benghazi wasn't incompetence -- was it ideology?

Did Sharia kill Ambassador Chris Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and two Navy SEALs?

And is Hillary Clinton's insistence yesterday that the leaked State Department e-mails were "not evidence" yet more evidence that indicates the Obama White House not only knew what was going on but deliberately turned a blind eye to Benghazi because of that ideology?

Specifically, did an ideological soft spot for Sharia -- Obama's name is being used by his step-grandmother to raise funds to educate kids in Sharia -- blind the U.S. government to the threat posed by Ansar Al-Sharia? A group whose objective, says its Libyan leader, is to "impose Sharia" on Libya.

A group whose namesake in Yemen is a subsidiary of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ("AQAP" in State Department language). It was, recall, Obama himself who first dismissed the so-called "Underwear Bomber" as an "isolated extremist." Finally the administration was forced to admit that AQAP was responsible for "the December 25, 2009 attempted attack on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan."

First, the e-mails.

In a stunning leak (and as this is written the leaks discussed below are expanding, with more gushing forth), Fox News producer Chad Pergram has discovered one of the biggest stories of the fall campaign:

...officials reported within hours of last month's deadly consulate attack in Libya that Al Qaeda-tied group Ansar al-Sharia had claimed responsibility.

...The Obama Administration knew specifically "within hours" that the attack on the Libyan consulate was a terrorist attack ...

I saw that. Biden has dementia or some other brain damage issues (he’s had two brain aneurysm surgeries), in my opinion. There are a million reasons not to re-elect Obama. Joe Biden, all on his own, is a good reason not to re-elect just because he is next in line should the worst happen.

DOES NOT COMPUTE!

What if zero wanted Stevens dead because he could finger zero for suppling weapons to Al Quada ...

What is the penalty for supporting our enemy ?

I agree.

The longer Secretary of Statements Hilly takes to “get to the bottom of this,” the more obvious it is that the Benghazi Cover Up was hastily designed to hide a VERY BIG US SECRET TOPIC.

My guess is that the CIA had discovered that some of the 20,000 Libyan Missiles were found in the possession of Ansar al-Sharia, or al-Qaeda who were then shipping them to Syria, and Obama knew all about it.

Can Hilly and Billy keep this a secret until after November 6, 2012?

Their lives just might depend on it - - - .

If Romney was briefed at his Security Briefing that this was the case, then that may be the reason why Romney chose not to slam Obama about the Behghazi Cover Up in the last debate - - - .

Arab Moslems are the ultimate fatalists. "If God wills it" is the comment about any suggestion of doing or being anything. Another is "God will provide." All our aid is accepted and the givers are not credited with anything at all because "God will provide." God provides material goods to the Moslems through he agency of the despicable infidels. It is only fitting. If the aid is cut off, well, "God wills it." There is nothing the infidel can do or say that would gain the respect of the Moslem, nothing that would put the Molsem in the debt of the infidel. That is inherent in Islam and is the most extreme among Arab and Arabized Moslems.That kind of fatalism is why a total military trouncing and a cutoff of resources from the West results in a subsidence of militant Islam. The Moslem world sinks into lethargy, God wills that Islam will not yet triumph.

All wealth beyond bare subsistence in the Arab Moslem world and to a lesser extent in the non Arab portion comes from the spoils of conquest or from tribute paid to Moslems by infidels. When the West no longer needs Moslem oil and quits sending treasure to the Saracen hordes the Umma will become again a poor backwater of the world, unless, of course, Islam conquers the West and the rest of Asia before that time- then the whole world will be a depopulating backwater with no mainstream.

It's not possible to plan an attack against a particular person, on a particular day, at a particular location months in advance without some guarantee the person would be at that particular location on that particular day. The person that guaranteed he would be there is Hillary.

Your conclusion is in line with mine in my previous post:

This has a very bad smell about it, as though this was a deliberate set up by the White House.

It has the earmarks of a political assassination or in more frank language, murder.

TREASON - aid, comfort and weapons to enemies and pre-meditated lies in the form of direct attacks on amendment 1.

In other words...taqiyya and sharia law in one fell swoop.

TREASON like this republic has never seen before.

TREASON...in real time...right now...continuous...ongoing.

The President of the United States went to bed with an on-going attack on our consulate and our people unaccounted for. He should be charged with dereliction of duty and removed from Office, awaiting his trial.

He makes me sick!!!

No aid was forthcoming, because the whole situation was so unclear!

Where was the CIC when all this was going on

I am sure the MSM will be asking that question

Given baraq’s reaction and the picture of him with letterman, it sure like he knew and was pleased with the outcome.

I heard an analogy that hit home.

The MS 13 gang goes on a killing spree in a city targeting police officers, then the mayor and police cheif go on a preplanned vacation to Vegas shortly after. And then act incredulous that anyone would question their actions.

From the statements that have been made and the “coincidence” of attaching Obama to the hip of Carter during the dem convention, it appears as if Stevens was supposed to be taken hostage and not killed.

The intel they have is a letter from UBL to Mullah Omar. In the doc UBL makes a passing statement to the effect “the news is 90% of the preparation for the battle”.

If you have a small scales attack you can achieve your objective by carrying out the attack based on what is in the news. For a large scale attack you can't.

To achieve your objective for a large scale attack you must orchestrate the news for the attack the follow up after the attack with the correct spin.

Not only was the protest in Egypt part of the orchestrated news, but the dems attaching Obama to Carter was also part of the orchestrated news.

The idea was to blame it on the republicans just like they did with Reagan and Carter and the original “October Surprise”.

As to what the entire plan involved isn't clear, but what is clear this was a set up to get Hillary into the WH in 2016.

What’s really needed is for the Congress to pass a law that would negate any pension or benefits for this micreant, evil, narcissistic liar and phony!

I must admit when I got this reply from you I thought it was a bit over the top. Now, a few hours later - after the FOX revelation - I admit you were right on the spot. This was intentional!

Yeah, all the Why? Why? why? stuff for days and weeks. It just appeared painfully obvious to me.

I don’t have too many clues as to who is writing the “scripts” over there in Washington at the building formerly known as the White House. They sure seem to be employing some grade school drop-outs ...

If it were possible to employ preschool drop-outs, I think they would. Wait a minute, now that almost all the State Hospitals across the county are closed maybe I’m starting to ....

Very few on this site have the criminally corrupt brain, to necessarily understand minds, the likes of which foul Washington these days. Honestly, who here would want to spend 60 seconds inside the brain of one of these creatures? I know I sure wouldn’t!

I sure hope and pray daily that come November we hear one Very Loud Flushing Sound !!!
