I'm not really surprised that more people are not screaming about a cover-up of the murder of our Ambassador to Libya. It made today's N.Y. Times...on page three! If there had been a Republican Administration in place, it would have been front page news every day since it happened, but the Liberal Media seems to be complicit in attempting to hide the involvement of the White House in a cover-up on the magnitude of Watergate, except that no one died in the Watergate scandal. Four people died in Benghazi. Ambassador Stevens had himself asked for more Security personnel, and the Head of Security for Libya and nearby countries had also asked for additional security personnel. Six times they asked, six times they were refused.
Ambassador Stevens had also told the State Dept. that his life had been threatened, and that a few weeks earlier, someone had blown a hole in the outer wall of the consulate large enough for forty men to walk through, side by side. Now THAT is a very large hole! Perhaps the CNN reporter who found Chris Stevens' journal was mistaken about that, or the hole had been repaired, because the attackers of 9-11-12 didn't enter that way, but instead blew the front gate off and walked through the front door, so to speak. Almost as soon as the attack started, Consulate personnel were on the phone to the State Dept., telling them they were under attack with heavy weapons. The Deputy Secretary of State, who took the call, told the House Committee on Oversite and Government Reform that she watched the attack unfold on her video screen in "almost real time". And yet the White House, for two weeks, continued saying that there had been a spontaneous crowd of protesters of the 15 minute video of someone pretending to be Mohammed, that got out of control. Even two weeks, to the day, after the attack, Obama was at the United Nations saying the same thing. He had to know, at that time, that there was no protest in Benghazi.
The cover-up is so blatant that now even the W.H. reporters of some of the Liberal Media were hammering Jay Carney for information, either refuting what Biden said last night during the debate, or confirming that no one in the White House knew that extra security personnel had been requested. He insisted that Biden was correct. If that really is the case, then the Obama Administration is either the most incompetent White House ever, or their lack of concern about the death of four Americans, one of whom, of course, was Ambassador Stevens, is disgusting and frightening, I'm sure, to every American employed at one of our Embassies in the entire Middle East and Northern Africa. He was the first ambassador killed in the line of duty in over forty years. And yet, the White House is content to throw the intellegence community under the bus, insisting that they told the W.H. over and over that it was a protest gone out of control, when sworn testimony in Committee questioning belies that entire scenario.
Hillary Clinton, being the Secretary of State, is ultimately responsible for decisions involving all of our embassies. Are we to believe that she never told Obama that our Ambassador in Libya thought that things were getting a bit dicey, or that the Al Quida operatives in Libya were becoming more aggressive? Or is it true that Obama regularly skips his daily intelligence reports? That would point to incompetence AND nonchalance about foreign events. Maybe he really does believe that he has the entire Middle East feeling so good about us that there couldn't possibly be any real problems. And Bidens' insistence that Republican budget cuts had been the reason for denying more security to Stevens was also contradicted, under oath, in the Committee hearing.
So, what is the reason for the cover-up? It's looking more and more like the White House is much more involved, in some way,for the information time line of the attacks in Benghazi, and the murder of four Americans by men associated with Al Quida in Libya.Will the truth come out before the election, or after? Guess we'll have to wait and see, but I believe it has the potential to bring down the Obama White House. We can only hope.
