CIA Veteran Scheuer: Benghazi ‘Worse Than Watergate’
By Kathleen Walter and Patrick Hobin

The Obama administration’s reluctance to talk about what happened in Benghazi, Libya is worse than Watergate, counterterrorism expert Michael Scheuer told Newsmax TV, and Americans will not learn what happened because President Barack Obama wants to protect his chances at being re-elected.

Scheuer, a 20-plus year CIA veteran who headed the Osama bin Laden tracking unit in the late 1990s and as special adviser to the unit’s chief from 2001 to 2004, said the handling of the Benghazi attack was not a matter of incompetence.

Watch the exclusive interview here.

“It’s hard to claim incompetence when you have the information in a real-time manner as the White House did,” he said. “They were watching or listening to the attack on our people there in Benghazi for about seven hours. This, clearly, is a case of deciding not to help those people and now trying, in the waning days of the election campaign, to prevent Americans from learning what a cowardly and arrogant policy Obama picked in order to protect his election chances.”

I used IrfanView to resize the image to 1024 pixels wide (actual 10.4” wide on my laptop), and it’s not great, but not that bad. Viewed from 10 ft. away, it’s hard to see the flaws. Then again, I probably am due for new glasses!

Can you provide links to all the images? I’d think one of our fellow FReepers could whomp up an improved rendition in an hour or so...

Obvious...no one died as a result of the Watergate break in and cover up and national security was never in jeopardy. Ironic that Nixon was hounded out of office by the media for the Watergate cover-up but with Obama’s Benghazi cover-up you can hear the crickets.

One thing: The black background uses up a lot of ink or toner. Also, some printers won’t do well with it, or any other dark solid color, over a large area.

All the elements can be found with a quick google image search - just sort by size to find the images with the best resolution. The layout would need to be changed if you want it to conform to common bumper sticker dimensions.

I think he is saying that the cover-up of this incident is worse than the cover-up of Watergate. Obviously, what happened in Libya is a horror compared to the relatively mundane issues surrounding Watergate.

It is what is known as an indirect hit, and used to rid yourself of shall we say inconvenient underlings, first thing you do is put them in a bad situation then you actively make it worse and worse for them until your enemies finish the job.

Right. And while Obama finished the job, who "put them in a bad situation then you actively make it worse and worse for them"?

Hillary.

She sent Stevens there.

She refused to increase his security when requested at least three separate times.

She had ALL the threat intelligence on the area, and it specifically warned against this exact type of attack in this exact place.

Hillary Set Them Up.

And now she's walking away while her buttboy McCain screams "Obama" over and over again.

Yeah, Obama did nothing, and refused to allow anyone to do anything.

But Hillary Set them Up.

“...and Americans will not learn what happened because President Barack Obama wants to protect his chances at being re-elected.”

Bullcrap!

Americans will not learn what happened because the lamestream media are (as Pat Caddell said) “the enemy of the American people” and are covering for 0bama. This is ENTIRELY the fault of the DBM whhich “wants to protect his chances at being re-elected.”
