1928 BENGHAZI- LIBYA 

So much to say- where do we start?

Okay- I have caught up on the news shows/papers for the past couple of weeks.

And even though I have been able to follow snippets of the news on my trip- yet I really didn’t see the entire picture until now.

First- as most of you know many in the Muslim world protested the U.S. on 9-11-2012.

Many of these protests seem to have been instigated by a stupid film about the prophet Muhammad that was put out by some guy living in the U.S.

One of the attacks that took place on that day was in Libya- our embassy was stormed and for the first time in 30 years an American ambassador was killed on foreign soil [the other incident was the famous raid in Iran].

The difference between the attack in Benghazi- Libya- and the other protests was the attack in Libya was a militia type attack- they used heavy weapons and there were no protests during the day.

Now- for whatever reason- the White House ‘spun’ the attack as part of the protests about the film.  They used this language to describe the attack- even after the U.S. knew this was false.

I saw Ambassador Rice on the Sunday talk shows saying that the killing of Stephens was part of the protests over the movie- this was 5 days after we knew that this was not true.

As more facts surfaced- and the White House began adjusting their story- they later said that the Libyan attack was different.

Now- what’s wrong here?

As the story developed- it was in the best political interest of the president for this attack to have not been Al Qaeda related.

If Al Qaeda was indeed responsible for the hit- then it would contradict one of the major arguments for the president to be re elected.

That argument being he has ‘Al Qaeda on the run’ and ‘go ask Bin Laden if we are tough on terror’.

Now- whether you’re a Dem or Repub- there is no doubt that this has been a major part of the campaign this year.

If you ‘tune out’ the first story- about the attack being a response to a film- and look at another set of facts- you will see a quite different story.

Okay- the ‘other facts’.

A few days before the Libyan attack- we killed a very top official of Al Qaeda.

A few days after the killing the president once again said- publicly- ‘we have them on the run- they are on their heels’.

Now- we just killed one of their tops guys- we basically said ‘look- you guys are on the run-we are killing you like ducks in a pond- and you can’t respond’.

Okay- this is not the smartest move on our part.

Then while all this was happening- the top Al Qaeda guy who replaced Bin Laden said ‘we are going to retaliate for this’.

A few days more- Stephens was killed- by Al Qaeda related groups in Benghazi- Libya.

Questions?

Why did V.P Biden say- in the debate ‘we did not know this was a terror attack- our intelligence learned about it later’.

Actually- there were congressional hearings on this very thing- the same day of the debate- in the hearings our guys testified that we did indeed know it was a different attack- a terror type attack- and not the same type of protests that were taking place in the other nations.

The next day- when this came out- that Biden simply got it wrong [heaven forbid that we use the word lie- which by the way just happened to be the actual label they put on Romney for 2 weeks].

When the contradiction surfaced- the White House press secy- Jay Carney- said that Biden was telling the truth- that he and the president did not ‘personally’ get a call telling them about the nature of the attack.

It seems unthinkable that the intelligence agencies- the state dept.- and many other top officials- including some Administration officials- could know about the nature of the attack- and yet a sitting Vice President would still say ‘WE did not know’.

Who are we?

We- the U.S. govt. did indeed know- it came out in the hearings.

The best spin you could put on this is that Biden simply flubbed it once again- the worst is that they are trying to cover for themselves at the expense of the state dept.- by making it sound like they got the info wrong- and that’s why Susan Rice and others said the attack was simply a protest- versus an Al Qaeda attack.

Okay- now do you see what’s been going on- why this story is not simply some silly thing- like the first page coverage the papers gave to a 40 year old story about Romney cutting some kids hair in prep school?

No- this story is about the false spin that we have been hearing the last year- that Al Qaeda is ‘on the run’.

No- lara Logan- the news reporter who was raped during the protests in Egypt- she put out an article that said Al Qaeda is in no way on the run- that they have grown strong- and that they are on the verge of hitting us here in the U.S.- once again.

No- this is a serious story- it’s about whether or not the current administration took seriously enough the real threat that our ambassador in Libya faced.

Ambassador Stephens said he was on an Al Qaeda hit list.

CNN found his diary a few days after he was killed [it’s amazing that we left the crime scene open- to the point that 3 or 4 days later CNN walked in and found this key piece of evidence just sitting there next to a chair].

In the diary our ambassador wrote about the very real threat of Al Qaeda in the area- he had requested additional resources to guard against the threat.

For some reason- we turned him down.

A few days later he was attacked- dragged thru the streets- sodomized [yes- most news shows did not tell you this part] and murdered in cold blood.

And till this day- over a month later- we don’t have the answers.

Yeah- this is a story that deserves coverage- real news coverage.
