Benghazi Index
Posted on 01/12/2013 2:25:56 PM PST by upchuck
It’s even worse than we previously thought. A retired four-star admiral is now claiming that Barack Obama intentionally conspired with America’s enemies to stage a bogus attack and the kidnapping of an American ambassador so he could “negotiate” the release of a “hostage” and bolster his mediocre approval ratings just prior to the election!
The Washington Examiner, quoting retired Four-Star Admiral James Lyons, writes: “the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi… was the result of a bungled abduction attempt…. the first stage of an international prisoner exchange… that would have ensured the release of Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheik’…”
But something went horribly wrong with Obama’s “October Surprise.” Although the Obama Administration intentionally gutted security at the consulate prior to the staged kidnapping, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed direct orders to stand down, saved American lives, single-handedly killed scores of attackers…and the attackers, believing that Obama had betrayed them, tortured Ambassador Chris Stevens and dragged his body through the streets.
Some will say that Admiral Lyons’ accusation is not a smoking gun. We agree; that’s exactly why Congress must investigate Benghazi-gate.
Moreover, we firmly believe the problem with Admiral Lyons’ assertion is that he is only scratching the surface; the full and complete truth may be much, much worse.
Benghazi-gate is not about a bogus YouTube video series of lies. It’s not about the Obama Administration’s foreign policy ineptitude. We are dealing with something much more sinister… something potentially treasonous… and the following questions, posed in an article in The New American, go to the heart of the matter:
1. ”What was the Obama administration’s full role in helping violent Jihadists, self-styled al Qaeda terrorists, and Western-backed “revolutionaries” take over Libya in the first place?
2. Did that half-baked scheme to arm Jihadist leaders, who… had previously fought U.S. troops in Iraq, contribute to the attack, as countless experts and officials have suggested?
3. What was actually going on at the compound in Benghazi, which, as the report states, was never a “consulate” despite establishment media claims?
4. Was Ambassador Stevens recruiting and arming Jihadists and terrorists to wage war on the Syrian regime after what Obama called the “success” in Libya, as a growing body of credible evidence suggests?
5. Why did the administration claim for so long that the attack was just a “protest” over a YouTube video gone awry, even when it knew definitively that was not the case?
6. Was the lack of security at the compound a political ploy to conceal the extent of the lawlessness and utter chaos left in the wake of Obama’s unconstitutional “regime change” war on Libya, as even members of Congress have alleged?”
It’s clear. Benghazi-Gate is only a small piece of a much larger operation, an attempt to conceal what The New American calls “the Obama administration’s full role in helping violent Jihadists and self-styled al Qaeda terrorists.”
Prior to the election Barack Obama continually told us that “Osama bin-Laden is dead and GM is alive”; but the sad truth is that Osama bin-Laden’s organization is alive and well, and the Obama Regime may be giving aid and comfort to this terrorist network.
And prior to the election, Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera pontificated that Republicans shouldn’t “politicize” Benghazi-gate. Swaggering onto the set of Fox and Friends, Rivera bloviated: “I think we have to stop this politicizing.” And Rivera issued the following veiled warning to Republicans: “Do we want to try and influence the election with a tragedy that happened in North Africa?”
Ironic, isn’t it? Barack Obama played politics with the lives of Americans; like Rivera, the media covered Obama’s rear and threatened to accuse anyone and everyone who mentioned it of “playing politics.”
Weak-willed Republicans apparently took Rivera’s threat to heart as Rivera also said that Republican Senators John Barrasso, James Inhofe, and Bob Corker, who all sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “all agree that the supercharged atmosphere around the story — prudence dictates that these hearings be postponed until” after the election.
Well, the election has come and gone. Congress now has no excuse. The American people needed the truth before the election; but now that Obama is back in the White House, real conservatives must demand answers.
The American people deserve to have those questions answered; and moreover, the American people deserve justice.

the “MSM” needs dealt with over and over and over again in the “what’s the frequency kenneth” fashion. They are not “talking heads”, they are purposely lying and they damn well know it. Start knocking teeth out for every lie and they just *might* re-think spewing bullshit. Just my $0.02 of course.
The Teflon Mulatto is protected by legions of the faithful MSM Obama Corps.
They will not let these facts reach the general public other than in snide attacks against Obama’s accusers by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.
As with every other fact detrimental to Obama the media will hold up to ridicule anyone who dares raise these accusations.
Thanks upchuck.
I appreciate every one of your pings. Many of the articles I post on my FB and occassionally someone reads and/or shares them. Small steps I know.
Please don’t give up.
Okie Dokie! LOL
Let’s hope Cruz isn’t a flash in the plan and he is the real deal. I’ve got my finger and eyes crossed hoping for the best.
What is *Lyon’s* source for this info? This idea of what happened has been floating around for some time, but (although I find the idea highly plausible), as of yet I’ve seen no proof. Does Lyons have something? Or is he just surmising? He is a retired officer with great credibility (read his Wiki page to be impressed!) but he is also political — has been a speaker at CPAC, etc. Anyway, I’d love it if this can be PROVEN but where is the informant who will stand up and take oath that this is so???
The takers, whether it’s those receiving government cheque or those staying in power by handing them out) don’t care. He could do anything - it just doesn’t matter to enough people.
The left cares not about dishonesty, moral corruption, and every other dishonourable characteristic one can hold. It just doesn’t matter to enough people. I despise the left.
Don’t count on Obama being brought down any time soon. Rule of Law is already on its way out, and before Obama is gone, Democracy will be as big a farce as he is.
“Start knocking teeth out for every lie and they just *might* re-think spewing bullshit.”
While it might feel good to do that, violence is the path to losing. You simply can’t intimidate your way to a conservative victory. Also, conservatism IS civilization. Liberalism is chaos, violence and intimidation. If you imitate the enemy you are no better than he. The path to winning is by taking away the MSM’s money. If, for example, there was a real news organization that offered real news, that organization would corner the market and therefore the advertisers and therefore the money.
To some extent the bloggers are becoming that news organization. But they haven’t developed into a news market with advertisers. On the good side, the MSM appears to be dying under its own weight. Each day brings more layoffs at major papers. That isn’t being driven entirely by the internet and alternative markets. It is largely because the consumers recognize they’re being fed propaganda. The consumers don’t like the steady diet of lies and have stopped buying the service.
Nothing will ever come of it as far as Obama and Clinton are concerned.
I’ve been saying all along it was treason. Benghazi also made it quite obvious Zippy was reelected by voter fraud.
Finally the question is asked.
Where’s the beef? Who’s Col. Lyon?
WTH does he know and when did he know it?
I believe there is something missing from the list of questions such as:
What has happened to the people who were rescued and why haven’t we heard from them?
Just recently, I saw my congressman, Steve King of Iowa on FOX saying that Benghazigate was 10 times worse than Watergate. He’s courageous. I, too, am very disappointed this story isn’t getting more play but obviously, the MSM is protecting our traitor-in-chief.
