Immediately after the murder of Chris Stevens, America's Ambassador to Libya,I suggested that the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi on September 11 could have profound consequences for President Barack Obama,particulary if he failed to take appropriate action against the murderers–the most likely candidates being members of al-Qaeda's new terror franchise in Mali.
But with the US presidential contest entering its critical final phase, the Obama administration deftly avoided getting into any controversy over the murder of Mr Stevens and three other members of the consulate staff by leading everyone to believe the murders were not part of an al-Qaeda plot, but the result of an outbreak of violence caused by a blaphemous film clip. This was certainly the line advanced by Dr Susan Rice,the American Ambassador to the United Nations, and a close confidante of Mr Obama.

But the real smoking gun is whether the Obama administration was warned in advance that al-Qaeda was planning an attack. A number of Israeli newspapers have suggested that Washington was warned as early as September 4–a week earlier–that the environment in Benghazi was becoming increasingly hostile and anti-American,while in London the Foreign Office took the decision to withdraw all its consular staff from Benghazi two months before the murders. This decision was based on an intelligence assessment made by MI6 that al-Qaeda was openly operating in the area following a failed assassination attempt on Sir Dominic Asquith, Britain's ambassador to Libya,in June.
It is well known that British intelligence works closely with its counterpart in America,and if MI6 knew al-Qaeda was operating in the Benghazi region,then it is highly likely that the CIA did too.
Suddenly the Administration's "it's nothing to do with us, guv,"defence is starting to look rather thin, with potentially disastrous consequences for Mr Obama's re-election prospects.

” Cuda out there”
Good question. If Romney thought he got a boost from Ryan...think about what the “Cuda” would bring him.
Zero can’t dismiss Hillary - he needs Bill to campaign for him. It’s all about getting the incompetent piece of shite re-elected.
” Cuda out there”
Good question. If Romney thought he got a boost from Ryan...think about what the “Cuda” would bring him.
Today a former military guy called to Rush, saying he thought there was NO military in Benghazi to protect Stevens as bammy would NOT want to risk having any military people DIE in Libya - hence this whole thing went south. If this doesn't smell like Valerie Jarrett, I don't know what does. Take no risk - don't go after OBL - we might fail and they'd blame us. THIS is exactly the same thing.
This is a much bigger cover up than originally thought. WHERE is Romney? He should be all over this like flies on #####!
You bet he did.
Boy...... I SO agree. Also, Mittens stomped on everyone running in the primaries, tough to ask them now for help, but I would like to see Newt, Santorum, Perry, Cain AND of course Sarah get out and STOMP this poser into the ground.
WHERE is the GOP en force? What ARE they waiting for???? I’m getting nervous.
Yep, they are his butt wipers, cheerleaders, and handmaidens.
My step-brother is about to be appointed Ambassador to Peru, which I don’t mind admitting scares the crap out of me. He’s a great guy and I’d hate to have to go and kill them all if anything happened to him. :)
Seriously though, anyone have any thoughts on Peru to share? My gut feeling is that we never seem to hear much out of them, so probably okay. Appreciate any insight you may have.
“..........In Peru, the problem is not one-party dominance but a generalized weakness among all political parties. The result is a highly volatile political landscape, with parties generally defined by individual personalities rather than strong institutional underpinnings.
The 2011 presidential election saw five first-round candidates – three of whom were moderates embodying the country’s Peru’s political establishment. These candidates – Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a former prime minister; former Lima mayor Luis Castaneda; and former president Alejandro Toledo – all competed for similar swaths of the electorate and split about half of the first round votes. This allowed Ollanta Humala, a former general whose 2006 campaign advocated a Chavez-style shake-up of Peru’s economic model, and Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former authoritarian dictator Alberto Fujimori, to move on to the second round.
With a consolidated party system, the preferences of Peruvian voters would be more closely reflected in election outcomes. The result for Humala, who has proven in office to be more pragmatic than his campaign suggested, has been troubled relations with the legislature and a spate of cabinet shuffles.
A properly functioning democratic system requires strong parties to articulate the interests of different groups in the formal political process. Venezuela, in what might be the biggest surprise in a year of watershed elections in Latin America, has shown us why.”

Wouldn’t surprise me if Nobama’s muslim friends in the administration organized the attack in the first place and made sure no security was present (Oh, no, Mr. President, no need to have security—Libyans love Americans.)
They were awfully quick with the movie trailer excuse. Makes me think it may have been premeditated based on what they knew was going to happen.
No chit!
And how are we going to do that? Give us a viable, actionable, legal method and I am in. It has to happen because media is deadly to this nation.
Yep
Just looking at Stevens past if he was CIA he was very good at acting
but we do know the 2 SEALS who were killed were there to retriece weapons
that has been reported
so maybe someone got thigns confused
Of course they’re trying to cover it up, delay, deny, obfuscate, whatever it takes to get thru November.
Obama wasn’t as lucky as Clinton was with TWA 800 though. If that had happened today, there would’ve been eleven video versions of the Iranian missile’s ascent and detonation on the net within hours.
Of course they did....The obama administration hung Chris Stevens and the Libiyan diplomatic mission out to dry.
Hillary needs to pay the piper on this one, but will likely skate through relatively unscathed after the election no matter which way it goes. Shame cuz she needs to hang for this one.
Obama will pay in November for this and all his other crimes of ommission/commission against the American people.
‘....where did Clinton disappear to...”
No nervious breakdown..... the woman’s a reptile. The Administration is just keeping her out of the line of fire shifting the media focus on others like UN Amn. Susan Rice, where there is no reasonable possibility of her being held responsible for this National diplomatic disaster.
Funny how leftist idiots think it entirely plausible that George Bush was warned about 9-11 but they can’t piece together any scenario where obama would politicize the murder of our ambassador.
