Media Blackout: Why Obama Dodged the Libya Question
Big Journalism ^ | 10/27/12 | v

Posted on 10/27/2012 11:21:03 AM PDT by markomalley

President Obama ran into a buzzsaw yesterday while doing a round-robin of satellite interviews with local news outlets in crucial swing states -- and by "buzzsaw," I mean that rare form of species known as a "real reporter." Kyle Clark of Colorado's KUSA actually asked Obama about the latest revelations out of Libya. According to Fox News, the three requests for help made during the seven-hour attack on our consulate in Benghazi were met with orders from U.S. officials to "stand down." Wisely, Obama dodged this question entirely.

I say "wisely" because, as of right now, outside of a very few exceptions, the CorruptMedia has coordinated with the White House to create a complete blackout around this story. Not even yesterday's denial from the CIA that indirectly implicates the White House garnered any media attention.

In the closing days of a reelection campaign the CorruptMedia is desperate to see Obama win, it's glaringly obvious that nothing this potentially damaging to the president will be allowed to see the light of day -- at least not until after November 6.

Is Kyle already on his way to their Minot, North Dakota affiliate as the junior deputy farm reporter or did they just summarily fire him?

The truth is out there but you won’t find it in Obama’s state controlled “media”.

Oops. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Just remember, folks, it just takes one person to entirely expose an office love affair between two people who cheat on their spouses at work....and then the whole world knows!!! Believe me, the MSM are just plain fools and idiots. The entire country knows Obama & company left our diplomatic and military folks out to dry and die while they (the Democrat Dirt Bags) lifted nary a finger to aid and save them. Obama should be impeached!!! As should, Clinton, Rice, Panetta, Carney, etc.

Bob Woodward officially jumped ship last night on Hannity. In reference to Obama’s answer that “This election isn’t about ...the deaths,” etc., Woodward called it a weird answer that set off all sorts of alarms and raised red flags. He stated there can’t be a “self investigation. “ He did back down and demur from Hannity’s inferences about Obama, but fully credited the father of Woods for making the statements he did. That’s a big block out of Obama’s firewall.

Why Obama Dodged the Libya Question

As much as 0bama hates and disdains The Constitution, he is invoking his Fifth Amendment rights, because impeachment and prosecution for TREASON are very real possibilities. I'd love the chance to test my waterboarding skills on that SOB!

“She’s gonna blow!” I just found this, it rings true.

Interesting Rumor Concerning General Carter Ham and Stand Down Order (Posted on 10/26/12 at 9:45 p.m.)


I heard a story today from someone inside the military that I trust entirely. The story was in reference to General Ham that Panetta referenced in the quote below.

quote:


“(The) basic principle is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on; without having some real-time information about what’s taking place,” Panetta told Pentagon reporters. “And as a result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on the ground in that area, Gen. Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation.”


The information I heard today was that General Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.

General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.

The story continues that now General Rodiguez would take General Ham’s place as the head of Africon.

I found this story when I got home after hearing this story.

quote:


President Barack Obama will nominate Army Gen. David Rodriguez to succeed Gen. Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command and Marine Lt. Gen. John Paxton to succeed Gen. Joseph Dunford as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Thursday.


General Rodigues Nominated as Head of Africon

As I was typing this I heard John Bolton on Greta say that there are conflicting reports of General Ham’s comments on this tragedy and why a rapid response unit was not deployed. Bolton says someone needs to find out what Ham was saying on 9/11/12.

Interesting to say the least.

"It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

- Joe Biden, 2008

Here’s what I think his motivation is (besides CYA).

While the bad guys in the WH are scrambling to deny their cover up and misdirection, I believe there is another long-standing related issue with this.

IMO Obama has as one of his main goals: improving the image of Islam around the world and helping its expansion.

Of course the Taliban, Al Qaeda and other fanatics keep getting in the way by killing ambassadors and shooting 14 year old girls.

Look at the apology tour, the support of the muslim brotherhood, moslems in the top of the state department advisors and the WH. Add his comments about the film for 14 days, even after he knew is was a terrorist attack..

The calling of the Ft. Hood terrorist attack, workplace violence, is just another outlandish example.

Stevie Wonder can see the pattern. Any decent reporter could make this into a headline story if they had the balls.

CBS news didn't say anything about this Communist Monster Obama murdering these Americans. The rest of the media also has a blackout on this , only Fox news reported on it.

CBS news spent 15 minutes of the 30 minute broadcast on this hurricane(only 1 problem that it will be nothing mark my words).

But now even Drudge is falling for this “hurricane” which won't do a thing.

fake unemployment numbers, now the storm of the century at the right time . and even most freepers fall for that hurricane as they did for the BP “disaster” (where is the damage of that?).

Holy cow!

I always thought Ham's odd and untimely "reassignment" seemed very fishy. This could be the crack that opens the dam of information regarding this treasonous cover-up.

Thanks for posting this.
