Obama’s Libya statements become ludicrous

Bring on the racks of “pants on fire” fact checks. Unload an army of Pinocchios to debunk the most egregious of the many untruths we’ve heard since the 9-11-2012 attack in Libya. In what is surely the most jaw-dropping of the many fudges, misrepresentations and outright lies by the Obama administration in handling the Libya attack that killed four Americans, we now hear from the State Department that it never linked the attack and death of four Americans in Libya to the anti-Muslim movie. I bet this comes as a bit of a surprise since you saw U.S. officials say just that for days. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama even went on Pakistani TV to express regret about the movie, an odd thing to do if it wasn’t linked in any way to the attack.

Moreover, the State Department now confesses there was no protest at all outside the Libyan installation before the attack.

That’s awfully problematic, given that Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice went on five talk shows suggesting in fact that the movie did provoke the attack. Mitt Romney’s top foreign policy adviser, Richard Williamson, told Right Turn, “Last time I checked, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations was part of the U.S. State Department.”

It is long past the time for the president to come clean, explain what he knew, why his administration was putting out a false story for days, why proper security was not in place, why he went on Pakistani TV to express regret about a movie and why no one has been fired for lying to the American people.

Les Aspin, Clinton's a--wipe peacenik SecDef who refused to send tanks and AC-130s to Somalia, died of a stroke in 1995. He should have had the decency to eat a .45 barrel before then.

The coverup begins to crack. The incompetence of the Obama Administration is being highlighted for all to see. What remains to be seen is whether or not Obama’s coverup will be exposed or not. This is worse than Watergate.

Hillary may be forced to take the fall or expose something about Obama.

Not to worry. Obama will spend more time discussing how he will save Big Bird. Sadly, is the mostly likely outcome.

I keep coming back to this point, too....I think that is the link. I ran across something that got my mind going: Bill Ayers and his wife have been doing a lot in Egypt lately....
