Why Did the Benghazi Story Change?
The Heritage Foundation/ The Foundry ^

Posted on 01/17/2014 4:33:42 AM PST by Old Badger

The truth about the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, is finally coming out.

An explosive intelligence report made public this week revealed that officials knew it was a terrorist attack that killed four Americans on September 11, 2012—and they knew right away. It also revealed that the lapse in security was preventable, based on intelligence the U.S. already had about the area.

These new answers are unsettling.

How the H*LL did we allow people like this to run our country..our lives?????????????

When Bush made the decision to fight another Vietnam war in South Asia, he made the rise of the radical Left inevitable.

There is a really simple explanation for the false narrative pushed by the Emperor and his minions - the “October Surprise” so rightfully feared by Presidential politicians happened on September 11, 2012.

That attack effectively destroyed the Emperor’s foreign policy plank less than two months before the elections. There was no recovery if the Emperor and his minions told the truth.

So, what was more important to those living inside the beltway - telling us the truth or getting reelected? Yes, it was a rhetorical question.

BTW - I wonder what will be done for that poor man so publically arrested and imprisoned, without a trial, for the last 20 plus months? After all, the bases for these political actions has been proven demonstrability false. This question, occurring in a mid-term election cycle, will not be answered because of the political impacts this coming November.

You have provided a thinking man's review of the events in Benghazi, eliciting a deer in the headlights look response from the MSM and general public............

Thinking is a function and capacity once enjoyed by most Americans which they have chosen to abandon in favor of pre-packaged information morsels dished out by the central planners just like the cloned fast food menus developed in corporate kitchens............

What matter, at this point, does it make? We KNEW there was a problem during the debate with Romney and Obama...but Romney, as all good Republicans do, avoided the subject. Then it MATTERED because an election hinged upon it. So now the hearings have produced a scathing, bipartisan report. I repeat, what matter, at this point, does it make?

Jim, Your analysis is dead on IMO. The government does nothing but lie.

I can’t imagine Reagan, Bush or even Carter acting the way Obama did during this attack. They would have been engaged the entire night demanding action from the military or where ever they could get it.

Going to Las Vegas the next day? Concocting a lie about it?

"Nothing can justify the irresponsible and disastrous Iraq action."

B.S.

Friendly relations with the people of Iraq plus a military presence there was well worth the Iraq action.

It was the Democraps and their media lapdogs who made it disastrous.

Wheels within wheels within wheels... An investigation into arm sales to cover actual arm sales to cover discovered WMD to cover a kidnapping to cover a murder to stop a political defection.

Good questions!

The same way we allow the Uniparty to foist mental defectives upon us: Pelosi & Boehner.
