After our embassy in Iraq was attacked by Iranian militants on Tuesday, President Trump immediately did two important things that proved he learned the lesson of the Obama-Biden Benghazi debacle: First, he told the American people the truth about what happened. Second, he immediately sent help to protect our diplomatic staff.
Those two decisions might sound like common sense, might sound like the right and decent things to do, might sound like no-brainers… Unfortunately, after eight years of the failed Obama-Biden administration, common sense and decency are not what we expect from our government or our political leaders.
On September 11, 2012, a group of Islamist militants attacked the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and the result — due to Obama’s refusal to act, was not only four dead Americans, but a desperate cover-up aided and abetted by what we now know is a fake news media.
We were lied to for months. Hell, when it comes to Benghazi, we’re still being lied to. The coverup to protect Precious Obama’s legacy and now Joe Biden, who is the best chance the media have at beating Trump in 2020, marches on to this day.
The coverup basically said that the Benghazi attack was a total surprise. No one could have seen it coming. No one knew the consulate required additional security. There was no intelligence that told us an attack might happen. The attack was a spontaneous one that grew out of a protest over a YouTube video critical of Islam.
It was all lies.
To begin with, our doomed Libyan ambassador, Christopher Stevens, repeatedly pleaded for more security and never received it. There were no Marines standing guard, no bulletproof windows, no real security other than locked doors.

Thank you president Trump.
A good reminder of the lies and incompetence of the Obama administration.
Who would have forbade a military response and blamed the incursion on a "hateful video".
(And never, ever cared one whit that good people suffered and died.)
It’s taken Trump 3 years to Make America Great Again, all the while he has been fighting off being killed by 1000 cuts.
This guy has a set of balls, True American, hats off sir.
He had to undue the 4 years of Bush Sr Globalist CIA, 8 years of the Clinton Machine policies, 8 years of another neocon globalist owned Bush, and then whatever the hell that 8 years under Soetero was.
I would say he is trying his damndest to drain the swamp and keep America Great.
President Trump is the best for our times.
A good reminder of why the founders excluded the children of foreign nationals from being President.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
All of the children of foreign nationals are born with divided citizenship, the very condition the founders were excluding.

I wish a post like this, which is quite profound, could be placed at the beginning of every thread, right underneath the fundraising notice. Some really smart white men figured this out a few hundred years ago... Populations forget over time, and undesirable events needlessly occur,
