Let's Have Justice For Ambassador Christopher Stevens
Investor's Business Daily ^ | July 25, 2013 | IBD EDITORIALS

Posted on 07/25/2013 3:45:44 PM PDT by raptor22

Oversight: Not many "phony scandals," as the president labels Benghazi, leave four Americans dead. As the administration tries to cover up, the reality is we knew it was a terrorist attack and could have attempted a rescue.

The Obama administration hasn't just been ignoring Benghazi, hoping it'll pass from public consciousness. It's been actively trying to bury evidence, including the fact that rescue teams were ordered to stand down. It's also concealing the identity of who gave that order.

Gregory Hicks, U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya on that fateful night, near tears at times testified before Congress how a special forces team, including one member hobbling with a cast on his leg and a heavy machine gun on his shoulder, was ready to deploy on a Libyan C-130 to Benghazi, only to be forbidden from doing so by U.S. Special Operations Command South Africa.

This was in addition to a CIA team from Tripoli that went to rescue its Benghazi comrades against orders.

Marine Col. George Bristol was in charge of special operations forces in Northern Africa on the night of the Benghazi terrorist attack. A series of requests for Bristol's testimony from Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham were initially met with a Pentagon claim that since Bristol had retired, it "cannot compel" him to tell congressional panels what he knows about the Benghazi attack.

After a report in the Marine Corps Times, which cited a Marine Corps source concluding that Bristol's retirement would not be final until Aug. 1, and that he had been available for testimony all along, Pentagon officials tried to explain it away as an "administrative error."

Let's Have Justice For Ambassador Christopher Stevens

I thought he was already punished for trusting Obama.

Keep in mind ... Stevens was sodomized before he was killed. Obama doesn’t really have a problem with being sodomized.

There are only 3 words that cover the responsibility of this event. “The Blind Sheik”. There must have been an agreement from the start, to trade the Ambassador for the sheik but to make it appear as kidnapping by a mob, who by the way was made up of Egyptians? I believe our Ambassador was meant to be kidnapped and traded according to the plan, what wasn’t in the plan was Woods and Doherty. Once they showed up, everything was off. The whole deal totally smells of a set up by someone high up in our government. Who was to gain ($$$$$$) by it? Surely not Obama or Hillary, they would never do anything like that. After all if you can’t trust them, who can you trust? Who has been captured, or talked since the attack? Seems awful strange that it was shoved under the carpet. WHY? Maybe in the next century the truth will come out.

If Bush had been president the cry would be “Bush hates gays.” 0bama sacrificed the man on the altar of jihadism and no one gives a $h!t.

Sorry they’re too busy trying to get the 0bamaroids rioting over George Zimmerman being innocent. Stevens was so long ago. At this point, why does it matter?

Agreed.

I hate to say it, but IF Chris Stephens WAS gay,that-—and the fact that he had been sodomized and tortured-—should be spoken of quite openly, in order to get the attention of the Great American Pubic....I mean, public. It may be the ONLY thing to get the attention of those that couldn’t care LESS about our ambassadors OR our sovereingty.

Early on, weren’t they called “bumps in the road?”

If the folks at IBD are lurking here, I hope they read the article at http://giveusliberty1776.blogspot.com/2013/07/breakingobamas-secret-8-billion-dollar.html and do an editorial on it. Their readers deserve to know the truth.

Who was to gain($$$$$$)by it? The Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

According to sources cited by TV14, Obama secretly transferred eight billion dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood—not the Egyptian government—as ... a guarantee that a large portion of the Sinai Peninsula be turned over to ... Hamas, an avowed enemy of both the United States and Israel. The secret agreement was signed by deposed Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi and his second in command, Khairat el Shater. Who on the U.S. side signed the agreement and where Barack Obama got the eight billion dollars is not clear. When Mohammed Morsi was deposed and arrested by the Egyptian military, evidence of the secret agreement was discovered and seized.

For questions, try ask@egyptdailynews.com or admin@tv14.net.

Did Obama’s timeline include fundraising in Las Vegas for this $8 billion bribe while Americans were dying in Benghazi? Probably.

If you are the activist type, please contact the Guardian, the Cato Institute and the ACLU. Ask them to let Congress know that a low-level analyst using a simple screen can find out who Obama called on September 11, 2012; and you want to see a demonstration of that at the hearing. Thanks.

Justice for Stevens!

Where was Obama that night? His whereabouts have never been disclosed.

This is from redflagnews.com:

May 21, 2013
by J.R. Elliott

Two sources close to the inner circle of the Obama White House have communicated exclusively to RedFlag News that during the night of Benghazi, President Obama was ‘incapacitated’ due to ‘staggering, inapt activities’ between the hours of 1800 and 2300.

In light of the clear culture of intimidation by the Obama Administration, our sources are not in any position to come forward; however, they made clear that if the White House Press Corps and other journalist organizations would aggressively pursue all their ‘available contacts within the POTUS bubble’, the ‘most damaging story in American presidential history’ will advance from those higher up who are itching to blow the whistle.

We implore all journalists and members of Congress with ‘non-political’ career contacts inside the White House to dig deeper for the real story of what Obama was, or was not, doing the night of September 11, 2012.

We need timelines for where Obama was every minute between 1500hrs on September 11th and 0900hrs on September 12th... We need to see the White House visitors log for September 11-12, 2012

Who in their right mind sends an openly homosexual diplomat to a Muslim country, much less a full ambassador?
