Benghazi? What About Benghazi?

By Semperpapa

Yes, what about Benghazi?

Do you remember a nice place called Abu Ghraib? It was a prison in Iraq where some deviant soldiers in 2004 engaged in some dubious behavior upon some of the Iraqi prisoners held there.
For months the MSM and the liberal politicians harped on President Bush regarding Abu Ghraib, inciting violent protest in Iraq and labeling all United States Military as an arm of Nazi Bush.

You may remember also that in Abu Ghraib, the violations were fairly mild, not much different than the activities you may see at some fraternity party in some of the Ivy League universities in the United States, and the pictures from the prison were probably scrutinized carefully by Barney Frank in preparation for future parties. Moreover, none of the Iraqi people were killed and the responsible individuals were prosecuted and punished.
And yet, the MSM and the sewer inhabitants like Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin and Ted Kennedy went after Bush with the highest level of vitriol, holding the Commander-in-Chief accountable for the soldiers' conduct (yes, those days are gone under Obama, the Non-Accountable-in-Chief).

Different set of circumstances, but I just want to point out that the Obama administration dramatically fouled up the security conditions and the aftermath of the sacking of the Benghazi consulate, which cost the lives of four American citizens, and a deafening silence can be heard from the MSM and the left side of the political arena.

By all indications, the White House knew within 24 hours of the killing of Ambassador Stevens and the other three victims that the attack had been a planned event by Al Qaeda to hit American interests in celebration of the 9-11-01 terrorist attacks.
Still, Obama and his minions, including Hillary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice, perpetuated the lie that the violence was a "spontaneous" response to some anti-Mohamed video buried somewhere in the Internet.
What the administration engaged in was a total misrepresentation of the facts, aimed at giving false information to the American people.

And the MSM still tries to spin the whole disgusting episode to Obama's defense, in full damage control mode. But the facts are what they are.
Obama knew, or should have known, that it was a terror attack.
Obama should have skipped the lavish fund raisers in Las Vegas and New York. Even if details may have not been available immediately, the place of a real President at a time of crisis, when National Security is under attack and an ambassador and three other US citizens have been murdered, should have been at the White House.
Obama for days continued to blame a stupid video for Islamic violence, bringing ever increasing attention to the same video.
Obama even lied all the way to the United Nations podium, where, again, he mentioned the video.

With few exceptions, the MSM and the Democrats still remain in spin mode. Why? Very simple: the marching orders are to insure that nothing will stand between Obama and power next November.

Benghazi? What about Benghazi?
Nothing to see there...

Just my thoughts!
