The Obama Libya Cover-Up Explained (Long Article)
Townhall.com ^ | October 19, 2012 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 10/19/2012 12:39:49 PM PDT by Kaslin

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: If you were here yesterday, you recall that the last hour of the program I kept promising, kept intending to spend some time on the latest developments of Benghazi and Libya. And I'm glad I didn't because all hell has broken loose overnight about this. We now know, McClatchy news has come out with the story that practically explains everything. Let me summarize it for you. McClatchy news says that the regime's concoction of the video story to explain the attack in Benghazi was a purposeful cover created by the regime to cover up the disaster that our operation involving the removing of Moammar Khadafy proved to be.

Getting rid of Khadafy basically turned the Benghazi area into an Al-Qaeda stronghold. That was the truth of the matter, and that's what the regime doesn't want anybody to know, or didn't. So they concocted the story that the video was responsible for the death of the ambassador and the three other Americans in the attack in Benghazi, because the regime had tried to tell this great story, "Look what we did. We cleaned up Libya. We got rid of an evil guy, and we've made Libya part of the Arab Spring, a great outbreak of democracy. Look, aren't we wonderful." When instead what happened was we kicked him out of there and then left ourselves, and we left ourselves nobody to control what was happening in the aftermath, and Al-Qaeda has established a beachhead in Benghazi.

Obama's running around saying that there is no more Al-Qaeda, until yesterday when he pulled it out of his speeches. He was saying there was no more Al-Qaeda. I'll tell you, what we have learned overnight and this morning, Romney is so set up for the foreign policy debate on Monday night, and there's much more detail to this. You know, brevity is the soul of wit. Everything that I am going to say down the road here on the program today basically will be to explain how McClatchy learned this. It involves the CIA. The CIA knew within 24 hours that it was a militant attack, that there was no video, there was no spontaneous demonstration. The State Department knew immediately. The White House knew. It was Jay Carney who started the lie.

It was Jay Carney under orders, I'm sure, from Obama and whoever else, which started the ball rolling on the video, and then Susan Rice gets involved. And again, all of that was to cover up an absolute disaster. Taking Khadafy out, it's arguable whether that was a good thing to do, but we did it, and in the process Obama's raising the flag, (Obama impression) "Look at me, look at me. I mean, I can pull the trigger as good as anybody, get bin Laden, take care of Libya." And what happened was, in fact, the ringleader of the Benghazi attack is now doing media appearances in the Middle East. He' going on The Oprah shows of that region bragging about what he did. He's not hiding behind a mask or anything. The ringleader of the attack is doing media appearances, is doing television shows.

Let's go quickly to John Bolton. A couple of audio sound bites here. Numbers ten and 11. He was on American Newsroom with Martha MacCallum this morning on Fox. And I love Bolton. You know, Bolton, former UN ambassador for us during Bush, tough-as-nails guy. He's very, very much into ideology and he is of the belief that the reason everything's falling apart in the Middle East is because of Obama's ideology, because of his liberalism, or Marxism or socialism, whatever you want to call it. His view that America is to blame, his view that it's always America's fault, and that's what enabled him to so easily swerve into blaming an American-made video, when he knew that's what it was not, by the way.

Everybody knew it was not the video. They were lying on purpose to prevent the dots from being connected that Obama's action created an Al-Qaeda beachhead in Benghazi.

And, by the way, Benghazi, the government, the head of Libya is in Tripoli, and we learn here Tripoli has no control, the government has no control over what's going on in Benghazi. Benghazi's a rogue, renegade place, and it's now Al-Qaeda's. I mean, it is utterly devastating.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Here is John Bolton. So he was again with Martha MacCallum today on Fox and talking about the way the regime handled the aftermath of the attack. (interruption) No, I don't... (interruption) I'm not in the... (interruption) I'm being asked a question here. If people would leave me alone, you know, I could probably get this show done in an hour. But since everybody wants to know what I think, they ask me even when I'm in the middle of a monologue.

I don't think Obama's "optimal" comment is that big a deal, but there is a point to be made about it. He has no trouble whatsoever excoriating an American citizen over a video. He'll describe that person in the most despicable terms. But when it comes to the death of the ambassador, "Well, yeah, the death of four Americans, it's not optimal." He does have a different set of values.

I don't think that thing as a stand alone is that big a deal. You might disagree. We'll talk about it. Anyway, back to John Bolton. MacCallum said to him, "It seems to me to some extent if you were in the [regime], you felt uncomfortable about the way it was handled initially, one thing that you could do you is sort of make it very clear to the American people that the investigation is ongoing.

"Potentially hear from John Brennan, for example, other people who are very high up in this operation who are supposed to be watching over counterterrorism activities around the world. That would give people some reassurance about what's happening to avenge the deaths of these four American citizens." She's basically asking, "Why didn't they just say, 'We don't know what happened yet; we're looking into it,' instead of blaming the video?"

Well, you know the answer now, but I want you to hear what Bolton said.

Thanks, Kaslin. Those of us who have relly investigated this would agree with Rush 100%.

Even the emergency helicopter rescue team rushed to Bengazi from Tripoli was ambushed, with additional 2 U.S. KIA. —why is no one talking about it..?

It’s like they KNEW the rescuers were coming.

And the motar fire they met once arriving at the “safe-house” (CIA base) was very accurate —experts on scene described it as PROFESSIONALLY aimed, not typical of revolutionaries.

This is HUGE.

SEE THE RING FOR WHAT IT IS...

Supposedly, accurate as in ‘GPS coordinates’ accurate. No “protest” by any means.

What is the purpose of the huge complex secretly built under the WH, and why does the DHS have 1.5 billion rounds it cannot legally use outside of the USA?

But, but.. The security draw down in advance of this attack leads me to be open to the possibility this was a staged ‘hostage-taking’ gone awry. Why would team 0bama draw down security if they knew Al Qaeda had a lock on Benghazi? Perhaps team 0bama thought this hostage-taking would be successful if the bad guys thought they’d get the Blind Sheik back in return for Stevens.

What is amazing is that people pushed a lie that they SHOULD have known would eventually be found out. Did they think that the MSM was so powerful that their lies would never be discovered??

This is less than half of it. It was obvious from the get-go that taking out Kadaffi involved empowering al Qaeda and the Muslim terrorists in Libya. And for that matter, it was obvious that Obama chose the wrong side in Egypt from the get-go, backing the Muslim Brotherhood against the ruling regime.

I’ve been saying that in this forum ever since the so-called “Arab Spring” was announced by our idiot press, well before any of the regimes actually changed, and so have most other Freepers.

This isn’t some kind of sudden surprise. Obama was aiding and abetting the enemy, and he knew perfectly well what he was doing—as did Hillary the Muslim lover.

And, ironically, our ambassador to Libya, who was murdered, was at the forefront of assisting those terrorists during the revolt backed by Obama’s illegal war against a sovereign ally.

It’s not just terrorists in the Benghazi area, whom we helped to get rocket launchers and other weapons. It’s also the government itself, which is now basically Islamist. The various groups of terrorists have infighting among themselves, but they are all united in hating us, the suckers who helped them into power.

“But, but . . .” is right! This article doesn’t even refer to the cables released this afternoon! Of course, someone knew this area was problematic (how’s that for understatement?), and the odds are that EVERYONE in the administration who had any need to know DID KNOW what was going on from Hour One. They anticipated it!

Hostage-taking or not (and it’s a reasonable assumption, knowing how these America-haters work), there’s another facet. Stevens’ gayness. Just another PC-reality blind spot? I don’t think so. What kind of monster would place a gay citizen in the den of violent homophobes? But we’re not hearing anything on this aspect at all. Where’s LGBT on this?

What about the poor film maker who got Gestapoed by WITHHOLDER'S SS. That was a big part of the COVER-UP by THE FOREIGNER that appears to be getting swept of the leftists rug.

That is why Stevens is dead. Seems that he was becoming too mouthy. Once he started receiving death threats and as his fears were increasing, his cables became more frequent and more frantic. He lost their confidence in his willingness to keep his mouth shut and bang.

Watch for more from Lt. Col. Andy Wood who has already stated he would put his entire career in jeopardy to get the truth out and take the consequences for outing classified information...including prison if necessary.

The guys who built that know it well, I’m sure. Probably CIA or military grunts. But they’ve probably all been killed in helicopter crashes in Afghanistan. Remember that helicopter crash in Afghanistan following the OBL raid? Lots of SEALs aboard.. We were told they weren’t affiliated with the OBL raid. I don’t believe that for one second. They knew too much.
