GAFFNEY: The real reason behind Benghazigate Was Obama gun-walking arms to jihadists?
The Washington Times ^ | October 22, 2012 | Frank Gaffney

Posted on 10/23/2012 8:06:32 AM PDT by penelopesire

President Obama’s once seemingly unstoppable march toward re-election hit what he might call “bumps in the road” in Benghazi, Libya, late on Sept. 11, 2012. It might be more accurate to describe the effect of the well-planned and -executed, military-style attack on a diplomatic facility there as the political equivalent of a devastating improvised explosive device on the myth of the unassailability of the Obama record as commander in chief. Thanks to intrepid investigative reporting — notably by Bret Baier and Catherine Herridge at Fox News, Aaron Klein at WND.com and Clare Lopez at RadicalIslam.org — and information developed by congressional investigators, the mystery is beginning to unravel with regard to what happened that night and the reason for the subsequent, clumsy official cover-up now known as Benghazigate. The evidence suggests that the Obama administration has not simply been engaging, legitimating, enriching and emboldening Islamists who have taken over or are ascendant in much of the Middle East. Starting in March 2011, when American diplomat J. Christopher Stevens was designated the liaison to the “opposition” in Libya, the Obama administration has been arming them, including jihadists like Abdelhakim Belhadj, leader of the al Qaeda franchise known as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.

I would go back even further....why take Ghaddafi out at all? Who wanted him gone? Bush had him largely neutered. Me thinks someone wants his oil.....either Obama’s buds in the Muslim world or his handlers in the Marxist world....like Soros.

I would definately be lookin hard at Jarrett and all the MB infiltrators in the O administration.

Perhaps...but sadly I do not think that Romney will pursue prosecution of this deal ( or others) if he wins. It is a dangerous slope when incoming administrations start prosecuting outgoing administrations. I do expect major pushback and possible impeachment if Obama wins. Just some thoughts.

It was his TV show. It comes on at 5 p. E. It’s also on Dish 212 - TheBlazeTV. It replays, each day.

” “..In short, it seems President Obama has been engaged in gun-walking on a massive scale. The effect has been to equip America’s enemies to wage jihad not only against regimes it once claimed were our friends, but inevitably against us and our allies as well. That would explain his administration’s desperate and now failing bid to mislead the voters through the serial deflections of Benghazigate...””

There you are.

the Europeans moved in and took over the Libyan oilfields before Qaddafi was even hunted down, and we provided the military air cover for it

They set up the “new” Libyan regime (this would be the jihadists in 3 piece suits and swiss gold watches) with a fancy new bank account for their “oil revenues” and then took over the oil industry

I have wondered if Qaddafi (or his sons) pushed the wrong persons or people too far, made some kid of threats against their business interests, that made the French, Italians, and Germans want him GONE. The Russians also were pretty compliant with seeing their old client-poodle being hunted, raped and murdered and all his seed with him (Unlike Assad in Syria where the Russians have drawn a line in the sand)

Or maybe Qadaffi, like Mubarak, was just TOO PRO-west and too PRO-Israel for the current obama regime ... or maybe Qadaffi knew too much about his fellow african, obama, from his financial relationship with obama’s kenyan grifter granny, who was qadaffi’s honored guest just weeks before obama’s NATO dawgs issued the attack order

Excellent post! There is something very wrong with this whole thing...that much is certain. Some very evil people hovering around Obama.

Very scary prospect. What a shame that this country has sunk so low in electing this kind of man, that we seriously have to entertain such thoughts!!

We all wanted Governor Romney to draw the obvious parallel last night:

I'll reserve judgement as to why he did not.

Qaddafi tried to set up a Libyan national bank and only have gold as his countries standard and purchase of oil. Saddam tried to decouple the purchase and price of oil being pegged to the dollar only.

Still don't know all the details of what these two men did exactly but have heard mention a couple of times both tried to make an end run around the dollar, US government and were taken down, swiftly.

So this Administration is gun-running to Mexican drug cartels and Middle Eastern jihadists. Once again, Hussein shows his true colors. (They aren’t red, white, and blue.)
