Afghanistan's Benghazi: The Shoot-Down of Extortion 17
Town Hall ^ | 5/17/13 | Diana West

Posted on 05/20/2013 5:48:53 PM PDT by Nachum

Grief and politics don't mix. When raw, aching grief and the dirtiest kind of politics meet, a hot volcano of pain and outrage erupts that is unstoppable. But it is necessary. It is the only way things might ever be clean again.

I am thinking of recent casket transfer ceremonies that have taken place at Dover Air Force Base, where senior administration officials have used the solemn occasions -- Benghazi, the shoot-down of Extortion 17 -- less to comfort grieving families than to lay blame; to establish a narrative; to lie.

Think of Sean Smith's mother. Think of Tyrone Woods' father. After the Obama administration's hugs came the Obama administration's stonewalling. They still don't have answers about what happened in Benghazi on the night of Sept. 11, 2012.

We don't either.

We still don't know who in the U.S. government gave the order not to rescue Americans under fire for eight and a half hours, and how and why such an unconscionable order was given. We still don't know who convinced senior White House officials to tell grieving parents meeting their children's caskets that a video-maker, not jihad against the West, was to blame for the assault that took four American lives -- or what the political motivation was.

“Extortion 17”

The lives of 17 Seals were “taken by force... or undue or illegal power”.*
