I am cross-posting the below article by Michael Goodwin in the New York Post. Now that we have the testimony of Leon Panetta and General Martin Dempsey, it is clear fort all to see (those who want to see) that President Obama was disengaged on the evening when four Americans were slaughtered in Benghazi.

The same apparently applies to Hillary Clinton that evening. To date, she has not told us where she was and what she was doing during the attack. She was in Washington, but that's it.
I also think we need to know why no military forces were sent to Benghazi during the 7-8 hours that the two attacks were in progress. Panetta testified that the attack was over before anyone could be sent. The first attack, perhaps, but the second attack at the CIA annex was hours later. All we know is that forces were put on alert, flown to Sigonella Air Base in Sicily, and to Tripoli. The only force that went to Benghazi was a 6-man embassy security team from Tripoli.
And nobody is being held accountable. Obama waltzes on to re-election, and Clinton is probably going to be our next president.
Well, it was nice while it lasted.

When it was Valerie Plame, the press demanded to know who "outed" her. Now when 4 Americans were murdered, the whole Bengahzi business is old business. No one wants to know who, precisely, denied their calls for help. The press is in the tank for this administration.
ReplyDeleteMiggie... the "outing" was done by American government officials in violation of American law... the killing in Benghazi was done by foreign nationals engaged in paramilitary conflict against the United States... you don't have any inkling of an understanding why U.S. officials violating U.S. law is treated differently than foreigners who are attacking us on foreign soil? Really?
ReplyDeleteI suppose it was an outrage that congress treated Alger Hiss as a more serious threat to security than the USSR shooting down a U-2 over Soviet territory?
