Benghazi - Will The Truth Finally Be Told?
Political Realities ^ | 05/05/13 | LD Jackson

Benghazi

This is just one of the important questions that we need the answers to. Will the truth finally be told about what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012? Heretofore, we have been lied to, deliberately misled about the events surrounding the deaths of four Americans who were serving their country. Chis Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and Tyrone Woods all died in Benghazi. While the deaths were tragic, in and of themselves, it gets worse. There appears to be clear evidence that the deaths could have possibly been avoided, but the truth has been hidden, covered up at every turn by the Obama administration.

For months, we have heard about the survivors of the Benghazi attack. At first, they were muzzled and the press had absolutely no access to them. Investigators were not allowed to talk to them and their stories were suppressed. At long last, some of them will finally be able to tell us what really happened that night in Benghazi. They will testify before a Congressional committee on Wednesday.

Fox News - Their identities have been a well-guarded secret, known only to their high-powered lawyers and a handful of House lawmakers and staff. But now Fox News has learned the names of the self-described Benghazi “whistleblowers” who are set to testify before a widely anticipated congressional hearing on Wednesday.

Appearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will be three career State Department officials: Gregory N. Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya at the time of the Benghazi terrorist attacks; Mark I. Thompson, a former Marine and now the deputy coordinator for Operations in the agency’s Counterterrorism Bureau; and Eric Nordstrom, a diplomatic security officer who was the regional security officer in Libya, the top security officer in the country in the months leading up to the attacks.

Benghazi, LibyaIf you care about what is happening in our country and around the world, you should care about the outcome of this hearing. We all should care about the information that will be revealed, if these three men are allowed to tell their stories with no limitations. Until now, the Obama administration has scrambled to hide the mistakes, and what appears to be a clear dereliction of duty, before, during, and after the debacle in Benghazi. I am hopeful that the truth will finally be told and justice will be served for the four men who died on that night.

There is one thing of importance to note, especially for any liberals who may read this post and want to accuse me of just piling on President Obama and trying to damage him in his second term. Nothing could be further from the truth. What I am interested in is the truth. From the small amount of evidence we have access to, it is clear that something went horribly wrong that night.

Even though I believe the Obama administration is culpable in what happened, and in the coverup that has followed, this is not about President Obama.

Even though the truth should have been revealed before last year's election, this is not about President Obama or how he managed to keep the truth under wraps until after he defeated Mitt Romney in November.

Even though it should bring down his administration because of their misdeeds, this is not about President Obama.

Hear me clearly. This is about the truth of what happened in Benghazi and how four of our citizens, who were serving their country, were allowed to die, even though we had ways to respond to the threat on their lives. I say again, we want the truth about what happened in Benghazi. Nothing more and nothing less.

Whistle blowers are not immune to accidental death. Perish the thought.

The Kenyan or The Iranian will start WWIII before either admits resposibility for Benghazi.

H3ll would happily kill all whistleblowers.

The administration will come out of this unscathed. The public isn’t smart enough to see through Obama and his band of pirates and the MSM will see that most of the gory details go unreported. The public at large is a collective celebrity loving lemming who cannot imagine wrongdoing by their beloved leader. Like all other incidents this one will be buried in the archives of democratic transparency. “God help America”

Uh yeh. Starting with using some muslim Al Queda affiliated militia as private security for a gay American diplomat. What could go wrong?

I hope Nordstom’s verbal testimony is going to be something better than the 12 pages of barforama he wrote and sent to Issa as his written statement.

What is appalling is that when the truth comes out nothing will be done about it. The “what difference does it make” crowd will continue to scorn anyone that wants justice. We have plenty of past crimes to know this is true.

Hi, WKWE......

He’s not called that, of course.

Imam Mohamed Magid:

“President of the Islamic Society of North America
- Accused the Bush administration of waging a “war against Islam and Muslims”

- Says that media references to jihad as “holy war” constitute a “misuse” of that term

- Was named to President Obama’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2011

- Persuaded DHS to erase from its “Countering Violent Extremism” curriculum any suggestion that Muslim terrorism draws its inspiration from the laws and doctrines of Islam”

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2562

“How was Imam Magid vetted to speak at CIA Headquarters? And who vetted him?

The ADAMS Center is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization. It was founded by some of the most senior Muslim Brothers in the United States, to include Ahmed Totanji, who still resides in Herndon, Virginia. Its website proclaims “[ADAMS] is a membership organization registered in the State of Virginia as a non-profit, tax exempt corporation and is affiliated with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).”

Imam Magid is the Executive Director of the ADAMS Center. He is also the President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the largest Muslim Brotherhood organization in the U.S. which was found to be a financial support entity for Hamas in the largest terrorism financing and Hamas trial in U.S. history (US v Holy Land Foundation, Dallas, 2008). Having Magid advise and teach U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials can only be aptly described as insane. According to officials at Langley who were willing to speak on the condition of anonymity, this is an outrage – but none of the leaders on the inside seem to understand the gravity of this threat. To say the fox is in the hen house would be an understatement.”

From
“BENGHAZI: THE TERRORIST ATTACK OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2012”:

“...it is likely that the Obama administration’s post-September 11 actions were aimed at drawing public attention away from a number of highly important facts:

- the U.S. mission in Benghazi had never adopted adequate security measures;
- the administration had ignored dozens of warning signs about growing Islamic extremism and jihadism in the region over a period of more than 6 months;
- the administration, for political reasons, had ignored or denied repeated requests for extra security by American diplomats stationed in Benghazi;
- the administration had failed to beef up security even for the anniversary of 9/11, a date of obvious significance to terrorists;
- the administration, fully cognizant of what was happening on the ground during the September 11 attacks in Benghazi, nonetheless denied multiple calls for help by Americans who were stationed there;
- the administration had been lying when, throughout the presidential election season, it relentlessly advanced the notion that “al Qaeda is on the run” and Islamic terrorism was in decline thanks to President Obama’s policies; and perhaps most significantly,
- throughout 2011 and 2012 the administration had been lending its assistance to jihadists affiliated with al Qaeda, supposedly the organization that represented the prime focus of Obama’s anti-terrorism efforts; moreover, some of those same jihadists had personally fought against U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
