The Issues Being Publicized In Benghazigate Completely Miss The Point

Benghazigate has created the opportunity to expose that the Obama national security team eliminated all-things-Islamic as causes of jihadist terrorism, and narrowed the focus down to ‘al-Qaeda’ as the sole enemy to be fought! Now is the time use this opportunity to expose Obama’s inadequate national security policy and posture toward Islamic terrorists. We are being attacked by a fanatical enemy that is waging a global religious war against us.The Wrong Issues Are Being QuestionedThere were so many blunders related to ‘Obama’s fiasco’ in Benghazi that the Obama regime has had a wide range of issues to obfuscate their foreign affairs-national security incompetence. The blunders that contributed to the fiasco in Benghazi included:1) the unrealistic ‘Arab Spring’ foreign affairs delusions Obama foisted on the American public, 2) not recognizing and preparing for the increasingly dangerous situation in Benghazi building up to the al-Qaeda affiliates’ terrorist attack, 3) the shameful national security debacle of deserting Americans while they were enduring seven hours of terrorist attack, 4) stonewalling the American people about the Obama national security team’s failures in the attack’s aftermath. Obama’s and his regime’s failures are so numerous as to be overwhelming, and they have enabled Obama and his accomplices to divert public attention from the real issue they are desperately attempting to hide.

He’s right. This is just the same as calling Fort Hood “workplace violence,” or exposing our soldiers to relentless Islam-inspired attacks by “friendly” Muslims in Afghanistan with no possibility of defending themselves. And don’t forget how Camp Bastion was overrun just a couple of days after Benghazi by an AQ affiliate whose attack was set up by “trusted” afghanis who worked on the base.

Obama refuses to admit the cause of all this. Is it because he’s trying to promote it, or is it because he wants to form an allegiance with it because he perceives it to share his hatred of America? It doesn’t matter either way, because overall, he is leaving us undefended and undercutting our safety at every step of the way. And nobody here is complaining.

I think the reason he set up Petreaues is that there may be some elements of the CIA (and possibly even the FBI) who are loyal Americans who know what’s going on, and he wants either to destroy them or to discredit them.

I think the BIGGEST point is that Obama propably wasn’t even around during most of those 7 hours! He was goofing off somewhere else and getting ready to go to VEGAS!
Where is the OBAMA timeline???!!!

This point needs to be brought up in all the Benghazi
discussions.

At least two men ... warriors ... voluntarily trained and conditioned to be active patriots, responded to all those years of training and conditioning, and successfully accomplishing more than the mission called for ..

Oh wait ...

There was no official mission ...

Just a couple of highly trained, in the proper and American way, warrior/patriots ..


I don't even know their names, and Benghazi has given my heart and soul a cause I can grab on to and promote.

I know it's Green Beret and another era .. but it was MY era and it struck me from the first ..

Two men ... never known or soon forgotten, acting from their American heart to assist a comrade and save lives ..

I believe Obama is a damned fool.

He was so convinced that kissing Muslims asses would end up in apeaceful solution to all of the worlds problems that now that he has found it doesn’t work—he doesn’t know what to do.

He got his Muslim and Socialist training from other fools who taught him this. The laughably ignorant idea that Socialism and being a Muslim would lead to peace. He did not see nor comprehend the actual facts. Very much as his ignorance of economics has placed us in financial trouble.
He has learned platitudes and not reality.

Some feel he is a very smart man.It could be,but his education was a one way street many platitudes from communists and terrorists like Bill Ayres and little reality.

The point: “The Islamic threat to the U.S. far transcends the few remnants of bin Laden’s al-Qaeda that Obama has misleadingly identified. We are being attacked by a fanatical enemy that is waging a global religious war against us.”

YES!

There is a big gorilla in the room and no one wants to see it. Anyone who chalks up Obama’s treasonous activity to incompetence has his head in the sand and doesn't want to apply basic common sense. Our Founding Fathers were extremely wise when they tried their damnest to prevent the the tragedy that has now beset this country. They understood that a trojan horse subverter could destroy this country from the inside faster than any foreign invader. Obama, a Muslim with foreign allegiances, is not eligible to hold the office and should never have been certified. The Arab Spring is not a spontaneous event. It was instigated by many, including Obama’s minions, to advance Muslim caliphate objectives. Likewise, the gun running in Fast and Furious (attack on Second Amendment), the phony video claim (attack on First Amendment), and the Libyan gun running were not borne of incompetence. Everything Obama and his minions are doing represent a concerted effort to destroy the United States. Americans who actively and passively facilitated this destruction are as guilty as the perpetrators of treason. Benghazi is important because dead Americans represents the two by four between the eyes that is so serious it forces the facilitators to face the reality that Obama was actively arming our enemies while showing complete indifference to Americans in peril.

Three questions for Benghazi-Coward Obama:

1.) Are you HIDING INFORMATION from the US Congress about the Benghazi Massacre?

2.) Have you been LYING to the US Congress, The Media, or the American Public about the Benghazi Massacre?

3.) Were you, as Commander in Chief, GROSSLY NEGLIGENT about your responsibilities to protect and assist those four Americans who subsequently were murdered in the Benghazi Massacre?

“Now is the time use this opportunity to expose Obama’s inadequate national security policy and posture toward Islamic terrorists.”

Why? What's the point?

Everybody on the planet who has any interest in US foreign policy & terrorism KNOWS that Obama is a weak, feckless, narcissist president, especially in the area of foreign policy. Our enemies know it, as do our friends. Israel certainly knows it. Even the MSM knows it, as they constantly cover for his mistakes.

No one on the fawning Left CARES! They drank the Koolaid* & now they are hallucinating. So, if you somehow believe that the Left can be swayed to impeach Obama, IT AIN'T EVER GONNA HAPPEN. If a Benghazi happens every month for the rest of his term, the Left wont care.

The entitlement/redistribution crowd does not care about other people except as how the others can serve to improve their own selfish circumstances. The parents of those slain in Benghazi saw it in the eyes & demeanor of Obama & Biden when the bodies came home. Frozen fish have more empathy.

You can expose Obama as a pedophile, ax murderer, cannibal & nothing will happen - no impeachment, no reversal of policy, not even anybody getting fired.

A better use of our time & brains is a serious, public discussion of the coming financial & political collapse, & how we can avoid it in the Second Republic.

*Before the election, I got into an argument about Obama with a Liberal friend on FB. After patiently giving her reams of links & facts detrimental to Obama, she finally said to me, “Everything you have said only reaffirms my faith in Obama”. End of argument. No use trying to convince a fawning acolyte of anything. Facts don't matter.

Now the focus is on who changed the talking points given to Susan Rice rather than the real issue of why Obama and everyone else in this regime continued to lie about the video when they knew it was wrong.

The scrutiny should not be on the talking points. It should be about how our government failed these four dead Americans. They were abandoned...

"The Issues Being Publicized In Benghazigate Completely Miss The Point"

Which is the whole point. Getting people to miss the point.

Axelgrease and Jarrett et al. are protecting "the point" from widespread disclosure and comprehension by the People.

....Obama was actively arming our enemies while showing complete indifference to Americans in peril.

And that, when testimony will have been given about his role, will be sufficient for impeachment and Article III treason charges.

If Article II failed to keep him out, Article III can take him out.

The legal term of art is mens rea, literally "defendant/guilty mind". It's the conscious knowledge of culpability and motivation to avoid justice.
