The Scandal Dump is a Smokescreen
The American Thinker ^ | June 9, 2013 | Phillip Cowan

Posted on 06/09/2013 7:46:41 AM PDT by joygrace

For several months, the Benghazi scandal lay dormant, apparently forgiven and forgotten. Then, inexplicably, it reared its ugly head when Congressmen Ron Johnson and Jason Chaffetz smelled Obama's blood in the water.

After feigning affliction with the flu, and then ostensibly tumbling down a carpeted stairwell resulting in an unconfirmed concussion, then-Secretary of State Clinton was finally forced to testify before Congress. Clinton's desperate attempt to put the Benghazi scandal to rest with her now-infamous impassioned declaration -- "What difference, at this point, does it make?" -- only fanned the flames of American outrage at the needless deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens, his aide Sean Smith, and two valiant Navy SEALS, Tyrone Woods and Glen Dougherty.

At this point, the focus of the investigation was confined to the failure of the Obama regime to adequately protect the American consulate in a hostile country and its subsequent attempt to cover up that ignominy. Nobody, except us conspiracy theorists, was asking about the real reason for the coordinated terrorist attack. Hint: it was not a video mocking Islam. Here are the questions that should have been asked, but were not:

Why was American security systematically withdrawn and transferred to incompetent Libyan operatives several month before the attack?

What were the missions of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Dougherty?

Why was the order to "stand down" given to ready and able military rescue forces?

Defacto telling the military to stand down, by not giving orders or giving directions. Getting Americans killed. That is impeachable.

No President (IMO) is ever going to be removed for exercising his exclusive, constitutional powers badly.

Committing crimes, conspiring to commit crimes with others, suborning perjury, violating the First and Fourth Amendments? THAT is how we get him out.

Those who wish to bring down Obama ahould get Snowden on the case. With the right backing, he can ferret out the truth about Obama, Clinton, Casey, Hamm, etc. by dissecting their phone calls during the Benghazi incident.

Who would like to be the highest bidder on Snowden’s brain?

I’m guessing the Chinese.
