This past Friday the State Department released internal docs showing that Chris Stevens, U.S. Ambassador to hell’s corridor in Libya, begged Obama’s boys in D.C. to ramp up security in Benghazi. And, as we all know now, he got nothing from the State Department but was allowed to be tortured and murdered by “democracy seekers” from the “Religion of Peace” in the “liberated” nation of Libya.
As far as I am concerned, blood is dripping from Obama’s golf-gloved campaign hands. Whatever do I mean, you ask? Well, according to James Rosen’s findings in the newly released damning papers, it’s crap like …
· On September 11—the day Stevens and three other Americans were killed—the ambassador signed a three-page cable, labeled “sensitive,” in which he noted “growing problems with security” in Benghazi and “growing frustration” on the part of local residents with Libyan police and security forces. These forces the ambassador characterized as “too weak to keep the country secure.”
· Roughly a month earlier, Stevens had signed a two-page cable, also labeled “sensitive,” that he entitled “The Guns of August: Security in Eastern Libya.” Writing on August 8, the ambassador noted that in just a few months’ time, “Benghazi has moved from trepidation to euphoria and back as a series of violent incidents has dominated the political landscape … The individual incidents have been organized,” he added, a function of “the security vacuum that a diverse group of independent actors are exploiting for their own purposes.”
“Islamist extremists are able to attack the Red Cross with relative impunity,” Stevens cabled. “What we have seen are not random crimes of opportunity, but rather targeted and discriminate attacks.” His final comment on the two-page document was: “Attackers are unlikely to be deterred until authorities are at least as capable.”
· By September 4, Stevens’s aides were reporting back to Washington on the “strong revolutionary and Islamist sentiment” in the city.
Scarcely more than two months had passed since Stevens had notified the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and other agencies about a “recent increase in violent incidents,” including “attacks against western [sic] interests.” “Until the GOL [Government of Libya] is able to effectively deal with these key issues,” Stevens wrote on June 25, “the violence is likely to continue and worsen.”
· After the U.S. consulate in Benghazi had been damaged by an improvised explosive device, earlier that month, Stevens had reported to his superiors that an Islamist group had claimed credit for the attack, and in so doing had “described the attack as ‘targeting the Christians supervising the management of the consulate.’”
“Islamic extremism appears to be on the rise in eastern Libya,” the ambassador wrote, adding “the Al-Qaeda flag has been spotted several times flying over government buildings and training facilities …”
· In the days leading up to 9/11, warnings came even from people outside the State Department. A Libyan women’s rights activist, Wafa Bugaighis, confided to the Americans in Benghazi in mid-August: “For the first time since the revolution, I am scared.”
From the 166 hellish pages we see a stack of warnings, via multiple cables sent to D.C. from Chris’s own laptop about which diddly was done—and that being after prior bombings of the Red Cross and our own compound and an assassination attempt on the British ambassador. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. This is gross and inexcusable.
If what happened in Benghazi on 9/11 was not an act of terror, or an act of war, I don’t know what is. What’s the “Religion of Peace” got to do to wake this administration the heck up? Destroy one of Obama’s favorite golf courses?
Oh, BTW: Missing from the extensive documents is any mention of a YouTube video ticking these “peaceful protestors” off.
Someone please forward this over to Romney’s campaign for talking points for Monday night’s debate on “National Security.”
This has a very bad smell about it, as though this was a deliberate set up by the White House.
According to the MSM it’s Bush’s fault.
It would not surprise me if it had been.
Naturally
People need to decide whether Obama is just totally incompetent or deliberately treasonous.
Is he on the side of America or the Muslims?
I know what my decision is, and I would vote for any American over our mystery President.
How can Democrat American politicians continue to follow this Leader of their party? How can Republicans stay quiet?
How can we remove these people from office?
If you will notice the State dept. won't release the real time tape since its incredibly incriminating from what I hear.
Last night on Judge Jeanine Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer stated that at almost any time during the 8 hour seige in Benghazi help could have been sent and reached the area in about a half hour from nearby U.S. ships off N. Africa.
This is a huge blockbuster claim and may windup being really hard to explain away.
WOW!! Stevens, who was VERY PRO-MUSLIM said that the attackers were targeting CHRISTIANS!!!! Well, well, well.
No one at the White House was minding the store, as they say.
Obama went to bed and took his usual sleep aid.
During the crisis they tried to wake him to take command. He did not. It was put off until the morning hours in Washington.
Obama gave a very curiously mild response and said he had to get on the road to his fund- raiser in Colorado, leaving this matter hanging.
When you are an enemy of America, you can ignore events like Benghazi. In the great scheme of trying to get re-elected, Libya is of no concern to our "transformational" president now.
OK. In fairness to Obama, I am disturbed that I see a growing number of people saying he has a failed foreign policy. This is not true. He has no foreign policy. His laser like focus is on jobs. He and his administration will not rest until there are no jobs. Please be honest. Thank you.
I have been saying that for weeks now. There was no reason for the White House to fabricate the blame on some obscure film. All they ever had to say was, “under investigation.”
But ...no....they had to attempt to hang blame. May this be 0bama’s undoing.
Played right, Friday’s document drop may win this election.
Just saw Dana Perrino on Fox running interference for Obama. “They didn’t deliberately mislead anyone”
It was the lack of security which made the embassy a target.....
In the end, I believe Stevens knew too much and was a "sacrifice"....and that can only fall on Obama.
Yeah...at this point one has to wonder even about Fox. There seems to be a clear consensus across the media that we somehow “need” four more years of this fraud.
Maybe a huge war is shaping up in the Middle East and the powers that be want a preceived Muslim in the White House...it’s the only thing I can figure.
When Romney says tommorrow Night that Mr. President you said last week you were offended that someone would Suggest you would Mislead the American People about an Ambassador being Killed,These are your people ,you send them into Dangerous areas,WELL,YOU,The Secretary of State,Your UN Ambassador,In appearance after appearance Stated That The Intelligence you had at the time,said this was caused by a Video. Mr.President the “Sensitve Documents”sent by Ambassador Stevens Himself,and there were several,was begging for additonal security.He stated that Islamic Extremism was on the Rise,Alqueda Flags were flying over Government Buildings,the Attacks on the American Red Cross,the British Ambassador were by Islamist extremists,and was going to get worse unless more security was sent.
Now Mr. President,neither you,Hillary Clinton,or UN ambassador Susan Rice mentioned Islamic Extremism,Alqueda at all as being involved in any of these actions on Television or the speech in the Rose Garden or any of the Comedy or talk shows. This is your problem Mr. President Your Ideology,you refuse to Identify who it is who are trying to kill us,you are purging from all Government Corresponce any mention of Islamist extremism,your Campaign until the Murder of ambassador Stevens was claiming that Alqueda was on its Heels,now you drop that from your speeches. Yes Mr. President you have Mislead the American People,your Ideology Prevents you from admitting who it is we are Fighting and the American People Are entitled to Know the truth and to Have a President who has the Courage to Tell it to them
Good catch! From the link:
After the U.S. consulate in Benghazi had been damaged by an improvised explosive device, earlier that month, Stevens had reported to his superiors thatSo Stevens’ “hair was on fire” - and the State Department just whistled past the graveyard.and in so doing, had “described the attack as
- an Islamist group had claimed credit for the attack,
- ‘targeting the Christians supervising the management of the consulate.”
Then when the going got tough, Obama was taking a nap. And then rhetorically subverted the First Amendment at the UN.
Dana Perrino is a useful idiot for the leftwing kooks.
It has the earmarks of a political assassination or in more frank language, murder.
The one remaining question is who was the top dog that orchestrated or gave orders to make it happen?
