Obama's Libya Lies Collapse: Senate Democrats Demand Answers
breitbart.com ^ | 9/27/12 | John Nolte

Posted on 09/27/2012 8:25:23 PM PDT by Justaham

The wheels appear to be coming off a two week attempt by the Obama Administration to cover up its fatal security failures at our consulate in Libya and to cover up the very fact that this was a successful pre-planned terrorist attack that cost four American lives, including that of our Libyan Ambassador, Christopher Stevens.

Not only has the scandal picked up steam in the mainstream press (Jake Tapper's ABC News report tonight is a must-watch), but high-ranking members of the President's own party are now demanding answers. This includes the man most often cited as a likely Secretary of State should Obama win a second term, Senator John Kerry:

Senate Democrats joined Republicans Thursday in questioning the Obama administration's handling of the fatal Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya and why the administration refused for days to acknowledge that it was a terrorist attack linked to al Qaeda.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., circulated a bipartisan letter addressed to Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides, asking for an "accounting of the attacks against U.S. missions in Egypt, Libya and Yemen," according to a copy obtained by The Washington Examiner.

Maybe it DOES lead back to 0, and that’s why he’s covering it up.

High crimes and misdemeanors....

There were no terrorists either. Think this through very carefully....
1. the security lapse
2. the initial cover story that sparked riots across the middle east
3. the fact there are no investigator’s boots on the ground YET!
4. the new cover story that the public seems more willing to accept.
5. Las Vegas and The View were more important
6. his coldness after the speech in the rose garden

What happened to the ambassador? This is totally unconscionable or is the real truth something even more sinister. Obama had him taken out. It isn’t the first time Obama has done this to citizens on foreign soil. This time he just didn’t use a drone.

Lucy, can you put this synopsis by EBH out to your pinglist?

I wish that were Another Bump in the Road. But it’s just Rush talking. I hope Rush plays it again today.

“...What happened to the ambassador? This is totally unconscionable or is the real truth something even more sinister. Obama had him taken out....”

Could it be that the ambassador and Mr. Skittles had a homosexual relationship? Was the ambassador going to spill the beans on it just before the election?
Was this another Ron Brown moment? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!! This would make Nixon look like a saint.

Oyyyy Vey! Does Obama base his picks on who would be the worst for the job?

Maybe this event has more to do with “another bump in someone’s pants”??

‘Finally catching up with Obama?’ ping

I suspect the Obama Media will try to find a way to spin/ suppress/distract, and it's likely that Kerry and Company will receive orders from above to behave themselves, but here is another "Scene we'd like to see":

Not necessarily. It appears that he picks them for what’s best for Islam and America’s enemies.

There is a whole host of things that come to mind if one wants to pursue that kind of conspiracy.

I don't think anything homosexual has to do with it though. LOL.

So, one would need to consider what would an Ambassador know that would have Hillary and Obama collude to put all those pieces in place? One would need to consider if Rice actually knew what was going on or if she was ignorant and acted as a useful tool that following Sunday.

Was being /s on the homosexual thing, but really, whatever it is they’re covering up, it has to be absolutely devastating to Obama’s re-election effort for them to plan such an event to take him out like that. Too many folks know what it is so let’s hope that it’s going to leak out just like one of the many security breaches they’ve had.

Considering CNN had the ambassador’s diary...

Wonder if they made copies of it before turning it over?

And I just read 0 missed his practice debate with J.F. Kerry because of his busy schedule. Or was it related to this?

From Post #22 “What did Stevens know that required he be taken out?”
Well, what about this theory - Stevens was gay, Obama has had gay “relationships” - perhaps there was something there that threatened Obama’s reelection chances and he needed to be shut up?

Nixon realized the error of his ways and resigned. Obummer doesn’t have that much sense!
