Benghazi Stand Down Denials Don't Stand Up To Reason

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...

I have to admit, I am shocked that CNN let this get out. It's only an editorial, the blackout continues elsewhere...

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?

He was stood up as a fat target and denied protection for nearly a month. The cover story is that they wanted Libya to appear "normal, calm, and at peace." Once the hit began, all defense was called off, under the premise that these were mere "bumps in the road." Once it was done, all American attempts to secure the site and protect our data were refused. All is "normal, calm, and at peace" again.

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?

[PghBaldy]

I hope so.

[PghBaldy]

You are right.
