Weekend Edition: Benghazi – 5 Months Of Treason

“I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure we are securing our personnel and that we are doing whatever we need to. Number two, we are going to investigate exactly what happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice.”

Those are the words of Obama regarding his orders on the evening of September 11th 2012 and the attack on the Consulate in Benghazi.

“Make sure we are securing our personnel and that we are doing whatever we need to.”

This is a claim Obama has made over and over again.

Now…let me take you to the direct testimony, under oath, of Leon Panetta and General Dempsey just a couple of days ago.

SEN. GRAHAM: Your testimony, as I understand it, Secretary Panetta, that you talked to the president of the United States one time.
SEC. PANETTA: I talked to him on Sept. 11 with regards to the fact that we were aware this attack was taking place.
SEN. GRAHAM: One time.
SEC. PANETTA: Right.
SEN. GRAHAM: What time did you tell him that?
SEC. PANETTA: I think that was approximately about 5 o’clock?
GEN. DEMPSEY: Yeah, about 5 o’clock.
SEC. PANETTA: About 5 o’clock.
SEN. GRAHAM: General Dempsey, did you ever talk to the president of the United States at all?
GEN. DEMPSEY: I was with the secretary when — at that same time.
SEN. GRAHAM: Did you talk to the president?
GEN. DEMPSEY: Yes.
SEN. GRAHAM: You talked to him how many times.
GEN. DEMPSEY: The same — one time.
SEN. GRAHAM: How long did the conversation last?
GEN. DEMPSEY: We were there in the office for probably 30 minutes.
SEN. GRAHAM: So you talked to him for 30 minutes, one time, and you never talked to him again, either one of you.
GEN. DEMPSEY: Until afterwards.
SEN. GRAHAM: Until after the attack was over.
GEN. DEMPSEY: That’s right.
SEN. GRAHAM: Thank you.

Let that sink in. Read it again if you need to and let it sink in deep.

Weekend Edition: Was the Attack the Cover Up?

It just keeps getting stranger and stranger. By the day, by the hour, almost by the minute, the situation regarding the attack in Benghazi devolves into a rabbit hole of questions Obama and his administration just simply refuse to answer.

Remember when the CNN reporter, 4 days after the terrorist attack, entered the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and emerged with Ambassador Stevens’ personal journal?

Remember how, for 24 days, we struggled to comprehend how a journalist could get there and roam the grounds but, the FBI was “stuck” in Tripoli because Benghazi was deemed to dangerous a place to be?

Remember how, when the FBI finally DID get to Benghazi, they spent all of 8 hours there…”Gathering evidence” and only 2 of those 8 hours actually AT the Consulate?

Well, yesterday we learned yet ANOTHER seemingly off the wall bit of information.

On October 26th, AFTER the FBI had supposedly been to the Consulate, 2 reporters,  Harald Doornbos and Jenan Moussa from Foreign Policy Magazine, entered the Consulate and what, to their astonished eyes, did THEY find???

Sensitive documents strewn about what remained of the building.

Seriously.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON???

Some of those documents outlined concerns by Sean Smith, who died in the attack, regarding the lack of security and the fact that Libyan police who were to have been guarding the Consulate had been, of all things, taking pictures OF the Consulate from a building across the street and, as is now being reported, had actually taken photos of the INSIDE of the Consulate.

Listen. One need not be a rocket scientist to figure this out.

NOT LEFT to Die, They Were SET UP to Die!!

To understand the whole Benghazi mess, I mean, REALLY understand it, one has to look at it from several points of reference.

If, after reading this, you feel there is nothing here to get worked up over, you’re simply not paying attention.

I will admit that I have followed this with a greater intensity than many but, for a damned good reason.

I have gone so far as to call this treason and, I stand by that call but, as Catherine Herridge, Jennifer Griffen and others at Fox News reveal pieces of the puzzle, my job of connecting the dots into a picture becomes more and more disturbing.

Let’s break this cover-up down.

The Pre Attack Scandal.

In the weeks and months leading to the 9-11 attack in Benghazi, things were far from “optimal.”

We had to sneak our Ambassador, Chris Stevens, into Libya on a Cargo ship because, we are told, it was just too dangerous to get him there any other way.

For approximately 16 months, since the killing of Gaddafi, there were 234 terrorist attacks in Libya.

Of those 234 attacks, 48 took place in Benghazi.

There were 2 attempts on the life of the British Ambassador.

The Red Cross had been attacked.

Then, both the British and the Red Cross pulled out of Benghazi…

A Crisis to Cover the Cover-up of a Crisis

Enough already.

ENOUGH!!!

As the mega-storm approached, Obama released images of himself sitting in the white house situation room trying to look…”presidential.”

He’s trying to replace the idea that he sat there on 9-11-12 and ordered those who wanted to save lives in Benghazi to stand down.

It’s pathetic and pathetically transparent.

Since September 11th, 2012, Obama has been avoiding the press corps like the plague.

Sure, he’s done interviews. 60 Minutes, Letterman, Leno, The View, Pimp With a Limp, Univision, some wad of nothing with a dead whatever it was on his head from MTV. You get the idea.

Friendly interviews…nothing tough please. Fluff. Meaningless pap.

BULLCRAP.

He’s been in the final weeks of a failing campaign trying to get another 4 years for his failed policies.

If he really stood in front of the press corps, they’ll ask him something tough. Well, at least Ed Henry would but, can’t take THAT chance…Can he?

No WAY.

However, in the last 2 days, Obama HAS stood in front of the press.

I call BULLCRAP!!!

Obama is using hurricane Sandy to magically appear in front of the press knowing full well he won’t have to field a question on Benghazi.

It’s pathetic and pathetically transparent.

The Emperor is using the hurricane as cover to look “presidential” in front of the press while hiding from Benghazi in plain sight.

On Monday, as the storm approached, Obama hopped on the white house briefing room stage and told us THE most ASTOUNDING THING!!!

Obama Voters and Libya – Here’s the Question…

According to Fox News, the ONLY news source covering the Benghazi attack as it SHOULD be covered, Lt. Col. Tony Schafer’s contacts have told him something, disturbing.

VERY disturbing.

From Ltc. Schafer, via his contacts…Obama was IN the White House Situation Room…WATCHING…In REAL-TIME…as the attack on our Consulate in Benghazi took place.

OBAMA was WATCHING.

THIS may well be one of THE most important statements regarding Benghazi we have heard to date…

Ltc. Schafer: “I hate to say this, according to my sources, yes, (Obama)was one of those in the White House situation room in real-time watching this. And the question becomes, ‘What did the President do or not do in the moments he saw this unveiling?’ He — only he — could issue a directive to Secretary of Defense Panetta to do something.”

Let that sink in for a moment.

“He — only he — could issue a directive to Secretary of Defense Panetta to do something.”

You do, of course realize what the other side of that coin is…

Obama & Libya – A Case Study in Treason

When a president fails to lift a finger to protect Americans, at home or abroad, in the face of overwhelming intelligence and evidence, by ignoring obvious warning signs and the advice of those entrusted to offer such protection…

It is treason.

Emails were sent to 400 people in the first 2 hours of the attack in Benghazi indicating that the attack was a terrorist attack.

Those emails went to the State Department.

Those emails went to the FBI.

Those emails went directly to the White House Situation Room.

At the time the email went to the White house Situation Room…Obama was in a meeting with his security team.

The first email – 4:05pm EST

“U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack (SBU).” 

 “The Regional Security Officer reports the diplomatic mission is under attack. Embassy Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support.  The operations Center will provide updates as available.” 

Second Email – 4:45pm EST

“Update 1: U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi (SBU)” 

“Embassy Tripoli reports the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi has stopped and the compound has been cleared. A response team is on site attempting to locate COM personnel.” 

Third Email – 6:07pm EST

Libya: Another Deadly Gamble

Glaring. Transparent. Arrogant.

Deadly.

The decisions being made by the Obama Campaign Administration led to the deaths of 4 Americans in Libya. Directly.

The narrative on Libya, from the Obama Campaign Administration, since the last weeks of Gaddafi has been…We led from behind. Gaddafi is no longer a threat to his people or his country because, we led from behind. The Arab Spring has taken hold in Libya because, we led from behind. The people of Libya are now, for the first time in decades, free. Libya is safer now because Gaddafi is gone. We will help Libya become democratized. Libya can be considered a success because of the Obama policies.

As the Obama Campaign Administration claimed victor in Libya due to the Obama Doctrine and leading from behind, it fit nicely into the narrative that Obama is a foreign policy genius and that he’s tough on terrorism. In other words, the places where Obama has blessed with his genius are now safer than ever before.

What we KNEW to be true in Libya was this: The black flag of al Qaeda was flying over the courthouse in Benghazi the day after Gaddafi was laid out in the refrigerator section of a grocery market.

What we didn’t know until Ambassador Stevens was murdered in Benghazi was the fact that Libya was SO safe…Stevens had to sneak into the country on a cargo ship. The fact that Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, told us this means that SHE knew Libya was NOT a safe place for our Ambassador from day one.

That’s not the way you send an Ambassador into a safe country and it’s something an Administration wants to keep quiet if they are projecting that their policies have made Libya safe. It’s better for the CAMPAIGN if people are led to believe it’s safe.

State Dept. RUNS For Cover Up Cover

After the State Department said:

“The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions,” it said. “We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.” – From the Embassy in Cairo

“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the internet. America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear – there is no justification for this, none. Violence like this is no way to honor religion or faith. And as long as there are those who would take innocent life in the name of God, the world will never know a true and lasting peace.” – Hillary Clinton

“To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose to denigrate a great religion and provoke rage. But as we said yesterday, there is no justification — none at all — for responding to this video with violence.” – Hillary Clinton

“In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated. We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo.” – Susan Rice

And…

“I would simply say that … the comments that Ambassador Rice made accurately reflect our government’s initial assessment.” – Victoria Nuland

They came out in the dark of night on Tuesday and said:

Libya Cover Up – Obama’s Whistling Lies

If you look at a Monet with a magnifying glass, it looks like a collection of brightly colored blotches.

As congressional hearings into the Libya disaster and cover-up get under way today, I believe that to really understand the mindset that led to the deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi, we must stand back from the painting a little.

With the republican primary season in full swing, team Obama had to know that they would be unable to run by defending their fiscal record. Unemployment was still way too high…food stamp usage was at its highest point in history and rising…Gas prices were out of hand and rising…Obama had never managed to pass a budget…Our credit had been downgraded for the first time in history…GDP was struggling and nearly on life support…The debt clock was going like a bat out of hell…Stimulus hadn’t worked…Obamacare was on the ropes…Manufacturing was way down…Incomes were way down…

You get the picture.

How does one run on THAT? How does one DEFEND that???

The date was April 26th, 2012.

Joe Biden was speaking in NYC.

Weekend Edition: Cover Up? What Cover Up???

“Based on information provided to the committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012. In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington.” 

That is just PART of the language used last week by oversight committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, as they demand answers regarding the terrorist attack in Libya…NOW MORE THAN 3 WEEKS AGO!!!

Let me tell you something…

The Chain of Command Here is EXTREMELY SHORT!!!

The Consulate in Benghazi had ALREADY BEEN THE TARGET OF 4 ATTACKS IN THE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DEADLY ATTACK AND ONE OF THOSE PRIOR ATTACKS…WAS AN IED AT THE GATE OF THE CONSULATE WHICH BLEW A HOLE BIG ENOUGH FOR…40…PEOPLE TO WALK THROUGH!!!!!

Requests for increased security would have gone to the State Department.

Hillary Clinton IS the Secretary of State.

Her boss is Barack Hussein Obama.

THAT’S IT!!!

THAT IS THE ENTIRE CHAIN OF COMMAND!!!

Now…for any liberals reading this…
