Former Obama Speechwriter Behind Benghazi Cover-Up?
Breitbart's Big Peace ^ | May 9, 2013 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 05/09/2013 4:34:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Writing at American Thinker, Ed Lasky points to Obama National Security Team member Ben Rhodes as the man possibly behind the Benghazi cover-up.

Lasky notes that when the Benghazi attacks took place, "CIA career officials clearly and repeatedly identified Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda-linked Islamic terrorists as the culprits behind the murder of four Americans." But the theory is that this news was suppressed because it "would cause embarrassment for the Obama team," which had spent years telling us Al Qaeda's best years were behind it and the "'tide of war' was receding."

Lasky asserts that Obama's 2009 Cairo speech began presenting this erroneous view of the world and progress in the War on Terror, but once the Benghazi attacks filled Americans' television screens on September 11, 2012, Rhodes was there to "alter CIA talking points," conforming them to the unrealistic depiction of the world Obama had presented in Cairo.

Rhodes, who authored the 2009 Cairo speech, is accused by Lasky of being the one who turned "attacks" into "demonstrations," and he or "someone [else] at White House level" allegedly injected the idea of a YouTube video "triggering spontaneous protests."(continued)

“The leader is responsible for everything that happens, or fails to happen, in his organization.”

That would be Pee Wee Obama.

Hell..the way things are run at Obama’s WH, he probably gave the stand down orders. Obama was probably coked out and out of it.

Someone been reading Ulsterman, but yes, he was probably, “indisposed”... at the time

Where was Valerie Jarrett????

“Rhodes is the typist. The policy is Obama pure and simple.”

Precisely why Rhodes is the perfect fall guy. It frustrates the attempts to get at the truth, and gives the dems the chance to say, “See? We said it was all about a fishing expedition, and it was. They got a speechwriter.”

Then, of course, the speechwriter is “fired” and promptly given a job at the Center for American Progress. End of story.

I just have been shaking my head all day long watching my country be destroyed from within from my little spot on the universe. Very sad.

You'll only get agita fretting about it. I gave up on America about 5 years ago. Hunker down, take care of your family, hide what you have (mainly from government) and try to stay below the radar.

I have recommended to everybody to jump on the SSDI gravy train. It's the hot scam these days. "One in 19 Americans today get SSDI or SSI. That's one in 19 Americans (who) are disabled." (And that was 3 years ago! Can you guess what the ratio must be now?) May as well grab whatever you can from government before the moocher base of the Democrat party gobbles everything up. I hear it takes a couple of tries, but once you start getting the free money, it will all be worth it. Maybe you "twisted your back", or your eyes are going... or maybe you're deprressed, or an alcoholic... whatever.

Look, America is dead. Dead and gone. It seems a long time ago now that I served proudly in the Marines under Commander-in-Chief Ronald Reagan. I was actually proud to be an American back then. But today we have a sodomized, feminized, politically correct military that continues to slide down a slop hole under an America-hating African communist. It makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

The United States of America is now nothing more than a big land mass populated by cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be “redistributed” to them in exchange for their votes. It is not an America worth defending anymore. That America no longer exists.

The parasites outnumber the hosts now, and there’s no going back. America is dead.
The Democrats have won.

Even the immigrants, legal and illegal, don't come to America anymore because they want to be "Americans" - - they come here to vote Democrat and steal whatever they can by proxy. It's a shame. America had a great run but nothing lasts forever.

In any event, keep your chin up and have some fun! (I'm having a blast these days!) There's no point in wallowing in the past.

FRegards,
LH

<....”Hunker down, take care of your family, hide what you have (mainly from government) and try to stay below the radar.”.....>

That’s really good advice...reminds me of the scriptures that say when bad men rule people go into hiding.

There comes a time where the handwriting is clearly visible, and the effort to deny it as so can no longer be so.

I’m almost there...as i see the leaders become or are more and more unconcerned for our country, and see it’s sitizens as simply financila cogs that keep them in the game they are playing now on the Global scene, with less and less concern for how this country is affected.

Your post reveals you to be both an enabler and an embodiment of the problem yourself.

Oh, I hear you. And I am going to keep fighting as well. No way will I let the scumbags easily enjoy the fruits of their victory without as much discomfort as I can help inflict.

“Behind” maybe, in the sense of being behind the keyboard that typed the words, but this came straight from the top (such as it is when the “top” is lower than Bill Clinton’s morals...)

The MSM is not even pretending anymore. Obama is their creation and they will defend him unto death.

This entire event is the result of a conspiracy between a speechwriter, the dog-walker and the white slave that wipes Michelle’s more than ample butt.

Obama is perfect in every way and he is without sin.... he had nothing to do with any of this mess.

I still have my old Dick Tracy secret decoder ring, so don’t doubt me.

Signing on to the devil’s crew. The ends do not justify the means. I look at myself with disgust because I am on social security and, like everyone my age, use Medicare. Self preservation more than hypocrisy. At one point in time I bought the argument that I was contributing to government run insurance to be used in old age. That was before crony capitalism and goverment expansion of welfare on the “premiums” we paid.

What scares me the most is they blamed a Coptic Christian for making a video that led to this “protest.” Is this the beginning of blaming Christians for the troubles in the world? Why hasn’t anyone mentioned this angle to this story. Our government is persecuting Christianity to save Islam.

As opportunistic a societal leach, that you are, you only continue to make my point.

You’ll never believe it but Bob Beckel on The Five today was ranting about the Coptic Christian fall guy. Absolutely livid at his treatment. Who knew I’d ever cheer for Beckel?

What is this man’s name? He’s been buried alive and no one cares.
