Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said that had Libya not fallen--in a revolution backed with military force by President Barack Obama--the four Americans who died in Benghazi one year ago would be alive today.
“Without Libya falling, our four heroes we honor today would still be alive today,” Gohmert said at a press conference on Wednesday at the Capitol.

Gohmert, along with several other members of Congress, visited Egypt over the weekend of Sept. 7-8.
In his remarks about Benghazi and his trip, Rep. Gohmert said, “I just returned from the Middle East with some of my friends. It was amazing. They [our Middle East friends] certainly get it. Privately, some of them--who did not want to be identified--said, ‘You know, you had the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan fight for you and initially defeat the Taliban.’
“’You had Mubarak as an ally,’” Gohmert recalled them as saying. “‘You had many agreements with him. He was your ally. He was trying to help hold the peace with Israel. There were problems with Mubarak, but he was your ally.’”
“’Gaddafi since 2003 had been a staunch ally,” Gohmert recalled them saying. “’Some have told us--I don’t know that it’s certain--but they had said he probably provided more intelligence on terrorists in the Middle East than anyone besides Israel to the United States.’”
He continued: “’And you brought Gaddhafi down because without your air strikes, without you eliminating the Libyan air force, he would not have fallen.’”
“Without Libya falling,” said Gohmert, “our four heroes we honor today would still be alive today. Decisions have consequences, either for good or for bad. In this case, we turned on allies repeatedly and what our friends said -- they didn’t want their identify known – was, ‘We’re wondering which one of us will be the next ally you throw away.’”
“Friends, that is no way to conduct foreign policy,” Gohmert said.
Go, Louie! Please do not stop trying to get the truth out to the American people. We are the only ones left in the dark, it seems.
... and al Qaeda would not have 20,000 MANPADs,
and SAMs, and Sarin, and training by the CIA and Pentagon.
But the US Congress has permitted an undocumented
non American proven-traitor to the US Constitution
to run the country to its death .... as THEY partied.

By the way, I'm a big fan of our great Senator from Texas Ted Cruz. He's still quite young and I think a very smart move by President Palin would be to appoint him to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice. With a vibrant, smart Cruz in that vital position, I can foresee decades of good work by the court and, of course, the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
They would also be alive today if they weren’t allowed to be killed by the foreign agent of Islam posing as our POTUS. How long was the attack? Eight hours? Look at the clock and time how long that is. Anyone who doubts B. Hussein Obama purposely allowed them to be murdered is insane.
Palin/Gohmert: 2016!
Yes! Absolutely! Let’s just hope she runs on a Third party ticket though otherwise the RINO party is going to do everything they can to destroy her campaign so they can push another RINO down our throats and LOSE. Republican party/ Democrat party: Two sides to the same coin. Right now I just know they are preparing the fix to make Hillary next POTUS and all I can say is over my dead body! No effin WAY!
