It is now apparent that the president of the United States countermanded standing Pentagon orders to help American personnel under attack. Ambassador Stevens and three others were left to die without AC-130 Spectres and rescue teams that are always on standby in the Africom theater. Only the White House could have countermanded those standing orders, and we know that POTUS had an emergency meeting with Panetta and Hillary within 55 minutes of the start of the attack. AFRICOM's General Carter F. Ham was fired -- presumably for wanting to rescue the Americans under fire.
Ambassador Stevens and his people were left to die to protect a deep-cover NSC-CIA operation. But what could be so important that 32 Americans had to be abandoned to the mercy of al-Qaeda? Benghazi was a major gun-running operation, funneling armaments from the crushed Libyan regime of Moammar Gaddafi to rebel forces opposing Syria's Assad. Ambassador Stevens was negotiating with a whole Star Wars barroom thug collection of bad actors, a reported ten different jihadist militias operating in Benghazi.
The most damning Benghazi revelation is the Obama policy that led to the disaster: Obama's four-year policy of secretly supporting violent Islamists against civilized Muslims, like Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak, and modern-minded people in countries like Turkey and Iran. We used to support moderate Muslims until Obama took over; now we support our deadly enemies. In Benghazi, some of those gangster types turned against us, tore the cover off the operation, burned out Ambassador Stevens, and killed American defenders with mortar fire. Our defenders had the AQIM mortar crew laser-marked for jet bombers and gunships that never showed up.
We now have four solid years of Obama administration support for radical jihadi movements against the modern world. The United States has abandoned any moral basis for its...

Obama needs to give back that “Peace Prize”
Amen. So sad.
Wonder where else Obama has...
1)gun running operations..
2)military secret selling/giving..
3)assassination plots domestic and international..
4)various kinds of money laundering operations..
5)drug finagling..
6)voter fraud mechanisms.. domestic(fed/state/local) and foreign..
7)One worlder plans to eliminate national sovereignty..
** and God knows what other mischief and malfeasance..
[ Ham is still in charge. Why post this crap? ]
Gen. HAm has as much power as Charlie McCArthy.. more like Mortimer Snerd..
Course Morty could be Gen. Petreaus..
If the GOP House does not start Impeachment proceedings first thing upon return to Washington after the election...then the GOP will be complicit in this
We need to hold the GOP feet to the fire as much as Obama Admin. Bad enough that the GOP has been Obama Supporter on the Eligibility/Birth Certificate issue...and lame on Fast and Furious....the GOP refusing to impeach means that they are complicit with Obama on Benghazi
Actually 41 people were left to die. 37 made it out alive because two former SEALs gave their lives to defend them.Ambassador Stevens and three others were left to die ...

It appears to be worse than that, and that it’d have been better if he had been “MIA."Wire service journalism hasn’t been “MIA” either. Worse, much worse.
I knew about this administration arming terrorists with advanced weapons.
Could one part of the equation be that an AC-130 would have been vulnerable to the weapons we provided the terrorists?
If so, I can see Obama not having the testicles to take the chance of a rescue turning out to be a slaughter and loss of multiple aircraft and assets.
Could Obama have known that this attack was bait in an attempt to lure US aircraft into the area so they could be downed with US weapons?
There are more questions than answers.

The democrats and their allies the MSM have successfully kept the truth from the public. On the eve of the election they have kept this from being in the news.
If Bush were president they would be crowing that Bush let the ambassador die because Bush hates gay people.
Orlando Sentinel poll on whether media cover-up of Benghazi is to help Obama, says “yes” by 85-15%
FReep it some more
The idea was to make it appear as if the terrorist are so in tune with the news they can pick up on a news story and plan an attack in a matter of minutes. In other words spontaneous.
That is the reason for the initial lie.
When the spontaneous lie fell through the only thing they could do was continue the lie so people would keep repeating there is no connection between the attack and the protest..
The lie is working. People are now under the impression there is no connection between the protest and the attack.
When you get to the truth, the terrorist attack was planned then the protest was planned as a cover, that pushes the planning for the attack back months.
You are 100% correct.
It is impossible to plan an attack against a particular person, on a particular day, at a particular location unless someone can guarantee they will be there on that particular day.
At a minimum, Hillary must be in the loop.
The fact the dems tied Zippo to the hip of Carter during the dem convention wasn't just a coincidence.
This was supposed to be set up for another Carter/Reagan “October Surprise” and blame it on the republicans.
Where are you getting that “41” number? I can’t seem to find it referenced anywhere. I’ve seen 30, 36, & more recently, the 41, but none of them had a source. TIA!
That isn’t going to happen. GOP leadership will go along to get along, just as they always do. Even TEA Party backed members will sit quietly...except Louie Gohmert, after hours. Senators will not do more than whisper.
What a disappointment Congress is!!
It is going to be just like Fast and Furious. Nothing will happen, the elections will come and go and whether he stays or goes NOTHING will be done, there will be no consequence to Clinton or BOs life or career.
James Lewis deserves the label. You don't make such an explosive charge without citing evidence. And, as Boots points out, the definitive contrary evidence I cited is found on the same site on which Lewis's article appears.
American Thinker's editorial quality has become a bit uneven over the last year or two.
Where’s the autopsy report? Immediately after the attack, there were some gruesome claims about what was done to Ambassador Stevens before and after his murder. There needs to be an autopsy report.
Obama: the only man capable of making kooks like Alex Jones seem perversely PRESCIENT...! The Bengazi gun-running op was only the veeery latest high-risk plan to ARM OUR ENEMIES. Latin America, Middle East...it is more and more clear he might have started all of this right after his election. What might he do in the NEXT four years, if re-elected..?
The left has been shrieking about the United Fruit company for decades, as if stuck in some kind oird time-warm, but now, lo and behold they have become exactly the type of treacherous shadow operators they warned everyone of.
With the revelations darker and darker, what are we now to DISbelieve...?
Are the stories of limo backseat crack and fellatio wrong?
WITH THIS MAN, WHO KNOWS...?
Yes, he is a deserter. In the heat of battle he was at his post and turned his back and walked away from it.
