Benghazi is not like Watergate.
It’s worse.
But it won’t have the same end.
In Benghazi, American military specialists, hurrying to relieve other Americans under fire, were twice ordered not to.
In Benghazi itself, they ignored the order and saved dozens. In Tripoli, they had to obey, and two brave former SEALS died as a result.
Let me repeat. American men at arms, ready and eager to go to the aid of their countrymen, were, in two separate incidents, ordered to stand down.
Two separate conscious decisions were made to let Americans die. The fundamental ethic of the American armed forces – leave no man behind – was violated.
We didn’t scramble jets, we didn’t send over the special operators from Tripoli, we didn’t come in from our Mediterranean fleet or our Italian bases, we didn’t fire a missile or divert a drone.
We didn’t even ask the Israelis or the Egyptians for help.
We just wrote them off. It’s not surprising that two more Americans died as a result, it’s surprising that only two more Americans died as a result.
When our government decided to do nothing to relieve besieged Americans, the issue was not two former SEALS, it was the survival of dozens of our countrymen. The compound under attack was providing refuge to a great many Americans, and as terrorists and their munitions surrounded those Americans, our government decided to stand down.
That is incomprehensible.
For the first time in our history, the demonstrated attitude of our government is that Americans are expendable.
That’s the first big thing.
The second is that the American government willfully, repeatedly and purposely lied to the American people.
Contrary to what we now know was the government’s understanding at the time, the Obama Administration denied terrorist involvement, spun some complete lie about an anti-Muslim movie, and purposely and significantly distorted and misreported what had happened.
Pressed on it, the secretary of State yelled at Congress. Asked to explain, the White House spokesman complained of partisanship.
And yesterday, in front of the TV cameras, in an open meeting, the No. 2 diplomat in Libya demonstrated under oath the dishonesty and dishonor of the administration.
And it all means nothing.
The press and the Democrats have characterized the entire inquiry as Republican hate mongering, some species of semi-racism undergirding any opposition to or disagreement with Barack Obama.
In the end, this won’t move the needle of public approval or public policy.
Which is how this is different from Watergate. In that criminal attempt to influence an election, the president’s party turned against him. In this criminal attempt to influence an election, the president’s party will stick with him.
Nixon fell because Republicans of conscience refused to tolerate his immoral and illegal activity. Obama will stand because Democrats have no conscience.
In the case of Nixon, Democrats opposed him universally before Watergate. The only shift in public thinking – the shift that pushed him out – was among Republicans. In the case of Obama, Democrats supported him universally before Benghazi. There will be no shift in their thinking. He will not be pushed out.
In fact, it is likely that among his supporters, he will become more popular, as the narrative of victimhood is wrapped around the poor president being beaten up by the hateful Republicans.
There is no record of an administration sacrificing citizens’ lives and patently lying to the American people. Obama holds the record on that.
And he is going to hold his office, too.
Not because he did the right thing, but because he’s got the right supporters. Supporters to whom party is more important than propriety.
It’s not about America, it’s about partisanship.
And dying is part of life.
Get over it.
And hope there’s something left of America when this monster gets done with it.
“May Obama, the Democrats and the Media all rot in he!!.”
I’ll second that!
Indeed.
The depths of Hell is where Traitors should reside.
....this will only die if we let it
WATERGATE WAS NOT ABOUT THE BURGLARY- IT WAS ABOUT THE COVERUP AFTERWARDS
BUT A LEAST NIXON DIDN’T CAUSE ANYONE TO DIE
Let me repeat. American men at arms, ready and eager to go to the aid of their countrymen, were, in two separate incidents, ordered to stand down.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes, anyone with two ears and a brain who has followed the facts knows this.
The ROYAL question is WHY?
I think that Obama was arming Muslim Brotherhoods Hamas and others to destabilize or destroy Israel, and if Obama allowed the rescue and the subsequent slaughter of those who attacked Benghazi, then Obama would have been outed for all the world to see by those he had dealt with.These arms were gathered from Gadaffis arsenal.
Obama is essentially a treasonous, fascist prick with the morality of a pustulated Muslim toad.

If the cultist media doesn’t begin policing the leftist personalities they worship, they are going to be ruined by one. This is the kind of media that allowed Hitler, Stalin and Mao to rise to power.
It will not die, if we the people will not let it die.
How many times has this been demonstrated since Watergate? Republicans will clean up the messes created by their own. Democrats pass the blame onto others, and then rally around the politician facing scrutiny. THIS is the difference between the two parties. THIS is what the GOP should be focusing the attention of the voter on. Republicans may make mistakes, but only Democrats hide from them.
Obuma gave a big FU to our comrades in the military. They need to remember that.
What angers me most about this is that those people died for nothing and for months...MONTHS! the GOP didn’t do squat. They sat silent while Obama sent lapdogs out to craft his coverup.
Obama/Democrats are what they are. I expect them to abandon American lives for political gain. The GOP is supposed to be their opposition. And what good is ann opposition that aids and abeds the Dems?
Think about this folks.
It can now be assured the Community Organizer in Chief will do nothing about them.
Then there’s the GOP: They made a lot of noise just to promote there own political objectives, but with no real effort to make Obama pay for this. The GOP conducted a spectacle which gives our enemies greater understanding of how we gather and utilize intelligence at the highest levels of our government.
This will help future terroirst operations to be even more sophisticated in manipulating our gutless leadership. What the GOP did was worse than the DemonRats: The GOP was supposed to be an effective moralizing force in this fiasco. All it did was huff and puff.
Can you imagine the DemonRats letting something like this slide—if George Bush ha been responsible??? I am disgusted with the Miss Lindsay and his Party. We need a new party.
This is how much the GOP cares about Bhengazi and dead Americans folks...
Report: RNC scrapped pre-election Benghazi ad; Conservatives demand to know why

How many SEALs have died under 0bama's watch, compared to Bush's reign when the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were MUCH hotter and heavier in action?? 33 SEALs dead under 0bama just in this post. I'm sure there's many more..
Oh wait.. Add 2 more to the list: Glen Doherty and Ty Woods.. Total now: 35 and counting..
I hope the Navy SEALs are watching their backs, on the lookout for any government plots to kill more of them.
No. They did more than that! Hillary and Hussein gave aid and comfort to the islamoterrorist enemy in Libya and elsewhere in the world by their complicity in the murder of U.S. citizens.
Hillary and Hussein are traitors to the United States of America. And now it is the duty of the American people to demand their indictment, public trial, conviction, and public execution of sentencing for the crime of treason.
You.
Don’t
Say.
“Libya: Inside Benghazi’s rebel training camps
Libyan insurgents may be making sporadic progress - but their tactics need a lot of work, finds Ben Farmer at a rebel training camp.
A training camp has been set up at the April 7th Army Base in Benghazi City
Volunteers are required to do two weeks basic training before they are allowed at the front Photo: DAVID ROSE
By Ben Farmer, Benghazi
7:30AM BST 24 Apr 2011
The ageing military instructor had assumed the statuesque pose of a javelin thrower to teach his rebel pupils how to fire a rocket-propelled grenade.
“It flies through the air like this,” he demonstrated gravely, grasping the rocket projectile in his right hand like a paper aeroplane.
Seated at his feet in deep, but puzzled attention were nearly 30 cross-legged students dressed in everything from long traditional robes to business suits, rather than fatigues.
Some 50 yards away, on the parade ground of what was once one of Col Muammar Gaddafi’s largest military camps in Benghazi, was another semicircle of students gathered around a dilapidated anti-aircraft gun.
At such daily training sessions, the Libyan rebel high command hopes to forge its rabble of young revolutionaries into a force which can resist and one day even defeat Col Gaddafi’s army.”

My real fear here is that we were there as one of the principal conduits for Al Qaeda and ‘renewal of Islam’ Arab Spring arms trade, courtesy of George Soros, Barack Obama, and certain well-placed Administration corruptocrats.
Right on!
