White House continues Benghazi stonewall

White House spokesman Jay Carney is successfully stonewalling media questions about the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya, amid damaging new revelations about security flubs, new congressional inquiries and the election-eve crash of the administration’s Muslim outreach strategy. “Embassy security is a matter that has been the purview of the State Department. … So I’m not going to have very much to provide to you on the security situation on the ground in Libya,” Carney told ABC’s Jake Tapper, in response to a question about the leaked news that requests by embassy staff

Great links on thread.
From the article:
In late September, Obama deputies — but not the president — dropped the claim that enraged anti-video protestors attacked the embassy.
But the attacks and attempted cover-up have damaged his poll ratings on foreign policy, and have prompted Republican nominee Mitt Romney to repeatedly criticize his foreign policy.
The policy was built around Obama’s June 2009 “new beginning” strategy of outreach to the Middle East.
That strategy helped Islamists gain power in Egypt’s general election, and spurred Obama’s decision to overthrow Libya’s dictator in 2011.
Those empowered and ambitious Islamist leaders in Egypt, Turkey and other countries are now pushing Obama to curb Americans’ free-speech, to provide more financial aid, and to increase pressure on Israel.
Islamists are also playing a leading role in Syria’s civil war against its dictator, Bashir Assad, and they have seized control of Northern Mali.
Mali is the country just south of Libya. Islamist jihadis, armed with weapons and experience from the Libyan war, have imposed Islamist rule on the norther part of the impoverished country.
Iran is also refusing to stop its nuclear weapons program.
Despite this and the Benghazi attack, few legacy media outlets are highlighting the collapse of the president’s 2009 strategy.

It is indeed going to hell, because fewer and fewer Americans seem to grasp its value. “Anti-Islam film sparks protest in Jakarta: Some 5,000 Muslims march through the Indonesian capital to U.S. embassy,” from The Associated Press, October 1 (thanks to Kenneth):
Thousands of Muslims enraged over an anti-Islam film have marched through Indonesia’s capital....
“Islamists are also playing a leading role in Syria’s civil war against its dictator, Bashir Assad, and they have seized control of Northern Mali.”
I saw a map somewhere depicting Iran w/ the countries surrounding it that’s been invaded/bombed/infiltrated by NATO or us. Quite amazing when one sees it on paper. When seen on paper it looks like a planned war and that powers that be are directing (and arming) terrorists on the where and whens...Iran is surrounded on all fronts.
