NBC News: Obama Administration Not Telling the Truth on Benghazi Security Lapses
TownHall ^

Posted on 09/18/2012 10:57:16 AM PDT by TigerClaws

I'm somewhat mystified by the Obama administration and campaign's continued attempts to convince Americans that the deadly raid on our consulate in Benghazi was not premeditated.  They're obviously trying to shield the president from political fallout for the horrifically inadequate security measures at our outpost there, but contradictory evidence is mounting.  Libyan officials and eyewitnesses have described the nature of the attack as clearly pre-planned, and US Senators briefed on the matter have drawn similar conclusions.  The president has fielded precisely zero questions on this matter (one wonders if he's eager to respond to inquiries about how often he does or does not read the intelligence memos about which he's rarely briefed).  He has outsourced the whole Q&A annoyance to various underlings, including UN Ambassador Susan Rice -- who ironically once admitted that her boss was "not ready" for a proverbial 3 am phone call on a pressing international crisis.  Appearing on Sunday's Meet the Press, Rice claimed that two of the four American diplomatic staff murdered in Benghazi were security personnel; evidence, she said, that the diplomatic outpost was not unprotected.  NBC Nightly News now reports that her assertion was untrue:

They know that if the truth were told about his neglect of intelligence briefings and the sorry state of foreign affairs he would be toast. That is THE unforgivable sin for any president..........

Know what, I dislike the same half, they are the ones, I and people whose work habits like mine,(all my life) carried and contributed to their well being while they did nothing but hold out their hand for more. That 49% should not be allowed to help pick our president.

Seems Bath-House Barry cares as much about the security of our embassies as he does for our borders.

This incompetent administration got four Americans killed, including a United States Ambassador who represented all of us, and now they’re trying to cover it up. Nixon was run out of office supposedly because his administration tried to cover up a botched attempt to sneak a peek at some Democrat papers. This administration is trying to cover up their incompetence that resulted in four dead Americans. Don’t they deserve to be run out of office? Where’s Woodward and Bernstein? Where’s the Washington Post? Where’s Robert Redford?

You’re calling Viennacon a troll? Shame on you! Girl, don’t you know satire and sarcasm when you see it? I was called a troll today for the first time since I came to Free Republic. That word is thrown around a lot here. But, I’m beginning to see a pattern here: It is the people here who are of a lower intellect/educational level who like to call everyone a troll. That is demonstrated by things like not recognizing sarcasm when one sees it. So, I guess I’ll just have to “consider the source” from now on and ignore it when someone is called a troll.

I suspect Obama/Hillary/Huma tipped off their buddies, the despots of Libya, the Muslim Brotherhood that our Ambassador would be at the Benghazi consulate. It serves Obama’s goal of a caliphate to have America’s Ambassador murdered.

I guess the MSM knows the truth is going to come out, so they are making an attempt to save face.
