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.
