Did the White House order a cover-up over the murder of Libya's US Ambassador?
Telegraph - UK ^ | October 2, 2012 | Con Coughlin

Posted on 10/02/2012 11:52:31 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

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.

[snip]

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.

Mr. Stevens family should wake up and get on TV and be as outraged publicly as we are.

The White House crowd of felon/cretins didn’t have to order anything.

If it’s a lie, if it’s crooked, if it’s illegal, sleezy, and would result in you or I being sent to prison, it’s SOP for the clowns of Washington.

Some say Stevens was CIA. He was sent to Libya to try to retrieve US supplied weapons (including surface to air missiles).

It does not matter what Obama did.
It only matters what the MSM reports Obama did.
Remove the MSM, and the Obamas of the world will disappear with it.

It is foolish, even for the mulatto bastard, to "order" anything.

I think the conversation was something like;

"Mr President, we've got trouble, our ambassador has been killed by terrorists in Libya"

OK,.. thanks"

And everybody just ... stepped away.

The COVERUP was by the hated MSM which works
against the American people.

The murder was probably PLANNED as the October
surprise by Obama, Holder and Clinton.

Hillary Clinton should have been dismissed as Secretary of State by now. President Obama’s failure to dismiss her proves that he condones incompetence. Failing to address and correct incompetence displays a lack of management and leadership in this President that is appalling. It would tend to indicate that incompetence is rampant in this administration and that Hillary Clinton cannot be corrected for fear that she would expose much of the other incompetence and cause this administration to come crashing down.

She’s cold as ice ... I think you’d have to have a conscience to be having a nervous breakdown. She’s keeping her head down trying to make it until the next administration (O or Romney). She has previously stated she won’t be doing a second SOS term ... she wants to be able to just leave, not be forced to resign which would have implications if she decides to run for anything in the future. She tried hard to keep a low profile and get through a term as SOS (thus bolstering her foreign policy street cred) but she didn’t quite make it. The whole thing is blowing up, especially now that it’s out that “someone” turned down additional security. The Secretary of State is responsible for security & her signature is on the ROE for Libya. Maybe O/Jarrett told her to deny security, but she did that at her own peril & now it’s biting her in the butt.
