Benghazi... oh, we'll get to that...

There are some large disconnects between Obama administration explanations concerning security and response actions taken before, during and after the disastrous terrorist attacks on our Benghazi consulate and accounts,compared with those which continue to emerge from outside sources. Following numerous White House claims now known to be inaccurate and intentionally misleading,we are repeatedly assured that we will get the real scoop in due time after full investigations are complete. One perplexing issue,among many, evolves around conflicting accounts regarding requests and denials of military aid which might have saved American lives.
Further delays only increase wide-spread suspicions that there are no legitimate answers,and that the president’s strategy is to run out the clock until after his final election is over. If this were not the case, it would seem logical that he would seize upon every opportunity to demonstrate evidence of the leadership and transparency he has repeatedly promised. Meanwhile, those who dare to raise those questions and express such suspicions are often subjected by his supporters to scornful reproach. And yes,I speak from experience on this…a subject I will get to later.
Putting serious questions aside regarding why early requests for enhanced consulate security had been repeatedly denied, along with misplaced blame for the attack on an obscure anti-Muslim video,let’s focus exclusively upon controversies surrounding that fateful seven-hour assault period.
During an October 16 interview, Denver’s WUSA-TV reporter Kyle Clark asked President Obama a two-part question: “Were the Americans under attack at the consulate in Benghazi,Libya denied requests for help during that attack,and is it fair to tell Americans that what happened is under investigation until after the election?” Expressing his regret about the casualties and sympathy for their families,plus a determination to bring the perpetrators to justice,the president didn’t answer either question.
After dodging, Clark asked the first and most important part again:..

While no Americans died in the other attacks, there were Islamic flags flying over embassies in other countries too, but besides (mostly) ignoring Libya, they also ignore the many attacks we faced in the days after Libya.
A reelected obama has impeachment to look forward to...
Benghazi... oh, we'll get to that...
I think the youtube video meme was meant to give us the impression that a run of the mill protest suddenly got out of hand...and there was nothing anyone could do to help.
Once the whole seven hour battle comes to light, its obvious that somebody denied help.
Thanks for the clarification. So, Beck’s sources are government? Did those sources pass it on to MSM
He said he knows from inside the media outlets that this memo is in their hands. He said he will expose the media outlet. He said he had the same memo they have. He is giving them time to do the story or he will do it and then expose they knew and didn’t act.
Bambi & Co. also seem to have missed the fact that there was a major attack on our embassy in Cairo that ended up with the black flag of AQ flying over the American Embassy...earlier that very same day.
That was their first apology for the video; you’d think they wouldn’t have forgotten so soon!
They laughed it off when it was mentioned that the President did not attend intelligence briefings. He didn’t need to. He read and absorbed his daily written summaries.
Did the President attend a briefing between August 16th and September 11th? Was this on the agenda for any of those meetings.
Was it on the agenda of a briefing he missed?
Where’s Travis McGee today?
“Did the President attend a briefing between August 16th and September 11th? Was this on the agenda for any of those meetings.”
“Was it on the agenda of a briefing he missed?”
Do you think he cared? Do you think he cares now?
Yup. Does that make sense? Nope. One has to belay everything we know about the past records of both Hillary and Zero and believe their public faces totally to accept such weird idealism at root.
No way. Both Hillary and Zero are demonstrably hardened cutthroat politicians mad for power. So then one must seek another thesis.
What makes this so hard to understand and accept is that the only rational explanation for what happened is that Stevens' death was a conscious decision on the part of BOTH Zero and Hillary, IOW, they wanted him dead. Stevens could not be allowed to be kidnapped and forced to talk (by either AQ or the Russians) about running weapons to Syria, never mind what he knows about Zero personally.
Standing him up and standing down the military might well have been a condition on the part of the Russians to belay retaliation for our intrigue on their turf (Syria), but only as long as we spilled the beans by leaving the site open for "inspection."
THEN it all makes sense. Of course, THEN one must accept that Hillary and Zero are both murderous thugs. What's so hard about that? They're both perfectly happy to argue for letting a doctor stab scissors into a baby's head and suck out the brains, so why would they balk at a hit on Stevens?
I hope so.
You are right.
