Benghazigate: The Cover-Up Continues
American Thinker ^ | January 9, 2013 | Bill Schanefelt

Posted on 01/09/2013 8:24:09 AM PST by Hotlanta Mike

From the start, almost everything that we were originally and "officially" told by the Obama Administration about the Benghazigate "event" was false (i.e., a lie) or misleading or inadequate. And now that the sole suspect held in the attack has been released, the cover-up is gaining momentum.

The report produced by State's Accountability Review Board (ARB) and released in an unclassified version Dec. 18 (pdf) did little to clear up what was misleading and inadequate in the "official" versions about the happenings during the "event."

The recently-released "Flashing Red: A Special Report On The Terrorist Attack At Benghazi" (pdf) by the Senate Committee On Homeland Security And Governmental Affairs is little better.

I write today to: 1) Describe the lies within the contexts of the reports; 2) Reveal the shortcomings of the reports; 3) Discuss the implausibility of the various details of encounters between the intruders, the occupants, and the rescuers; and 4) Examine the pre-"event" operations in Benghazi and the possible reasons the "event" occurred.

I think what is being concealed is that the President himself nixed the idea of coming to the aid of the Ambassador for fear of violating Lybia air space. How’s that for a conspiracy theory?

Greedy little piggies in Congress care not a whit
that an Ambassador was murdered in cold blood and on TV live.

Like after Vince Foster’s murder, they will deposit their
checks and keep quiet.

Illegal weapons trafficking when fully engaged and caught in, done by a progressive islamist dictator posing as a president of an elected republic, calls for some real wordsmithing on the part of the established media in order to make it go away. But rest assured, it will go away one way or another.

Perhaps a bit of Water boarding for Hillary would clear the air.

Preplanned.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

I'm still trying to flesh out the following contradiction from the Libwafte.

Enemy combatants arrested and held in Guantanamo = Bad, bad violation of rights and due process.

Drone assasination performed on foreign lands and airspace by the president on an enemy combatant without due process and rights = Good foreign policy, and squares with liberal dogma??????????/

Don’t you get it? It isn’t about what is RIGHT AND WRONG, it’s about WHO PROPOSES IT. Deposing bad dictator in Iraq, Bush is evil. Deposing a dictator in Libya?? Obama is a hero.

See how that works?

VERY interesting run down by Schanefelt. The crux of the argument appears to be that the larger facilities on the compound grounds were used to house arms that were being trafficked to Syrian rebels. It boggles the mind that they’ve essentially concluded that the buck stopped on Stevens’ desk and no one higher than him was the wiser, which smacks of black helicopter chicanery in a way that makes Iran-Contra look like a game of hide-and-seek.

Quite frankly, it seems to me that Obama and his regime are doing what they can to install Islamist governments in the middle east, and Assad is standing in the way of their “low hanging fruit” objectives. I would bet that future efforts for the larger sheikdoms will be largely diplomatic considering the size of the armies and the fact that Obama and the progressives don’t want to mire the US military in middle eastern countries for the sake of installing Islamists into power.

All tolled, I want to conclude that Barack Hussein Obama, a Marxist whose very name indicates some level of Islamic background, is utilizing the power of his office to bring about the Islamization of the middle east to such a degree as to wipe out or permanently diminish Israel, all the while utilizing propaganda and psyops in the US, such as the gun-control canard they’re currently traipsing through the streets, to install a Marxist dictatorship under which Sharia can be simply installed and thus bringing the traditionally Judeo-Christian America into line with the Islamic world and out of the “crosshairs” of radical Islam forever.

...Right?

Make me King for a day and there will be hangings.

Okay, with investigations, speedy trials and all that, it might take a month.

With Fast & Furious and then Benghazi, Obama should have never made it into a second term, but Obama’s America doesn’t give a damn...

Hey, Michelle? Isn't all the corruption a hoot? You still feeling proud of your country? I'm not. I'm ashamed and disgusted by your theft and purposeful decline.

May the justice your husband has denied the country find him instead. May it be speedy and thorough, leaving no stone unturned and no detail left untold.

We deserve and have earned that much and so has he.

The Benghazi facility was NOT being used for normal consular activities. What were those 40+ people doing there? And why were they NOT killed or abducted when the intruders entered the compound? Clearly the intruders were there for some specific purpose OTHER THAN killing/abducting Americans.

First Obama is a communist, then he’s a Moslem. The communists don’t like religion, so I don’t think he can be both. One of The Three Tests of Truth is Economy of Explanation. So, let’s explain his communism. Days and days to explain that. How about him being Moslem? Oh yeah, doctoral dissertation there. Here’s my explanation. He’s a thief and likes money. Pretty short and sweet.

Not to worry. Hillary Clinton is going to ‘splain it all to us at a hearing in two weeks...if she lives that long.

You are right about Congress. They are a bunch of reprobates.
