Obama’s Benghazi remark a new low (FLASHBACK, November 8, 2018)
boston herald ^ | November 8, 2018 | Adriana Cohen

It’s bad enough former President Barack Obama and his then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton left four Americans for dead in Benghazi the night radical Islamist terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Libya and nearby annex on Sept. 12, 2012, taking the lives of Winchester native Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

But with the sixth anniversary just days away Obama’s remarks couldn’t be more ill timed or insensitive to the victims’ families, who will suffer through another painful anniversary missing their loved ones.

In an outrageous partisan speech delivered at the University of Illinois Friday, Obama sent shockwaves through the social media stratosphere by dismissing the outrage over the 2012 massacre in Benghazi as the result of a “wild conspiracy theory” perpetuated by conservatives and Republican members of Congress.

Talk about #FakeNews

First off, you don’t need a Harvard degree to know that the flag-draped caskets of four dead Americans that arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland two days after the attack had nothing to do with any “conspiracy.”

The movie 13 hours Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi is a great movie about the bravery and heroics of all the security detail. It's amazing how long they were able to keep the terrorist out of the CIA annex. No American help showed up before, during or after the attack. The survivors had to fly out on planes that were borrowed from a oil executive and the Libyan government. Obama and Hillary were derelict in their duty. They left Americans out to die.

‘...They left Americans out to die.’

Exactly! And, this is a major reason for my disdain for Hillary Clinton....will never forgive that no help was sent to those people...they sat and watched them be murdered!

I saw 13 Hours in movie theater and at end I could not contain my anger...loudly gave my opinion of Clinton & Obama Admin to others in theater.

Odongo will never be legally brought to justice for anything.
The PIAPS...maybe, but highly unlikely. The Grim Reaper will probably get to her before the DOJ ever does.
But perhaps maybe Odongo could just “disappear” never to be seen or heard from ever again...just kinda “poof”....”gone”... nobody knows where he went....kinda like Jimmy Hoffa. Hey, maybe he and Jimmy could become friends...wherever that might be.... ;)

Given that the ringleader of the attack on the Iraqi embassy was on the guest list at the Obama White House, Obama’s dismissal of the attack on Benghazi just doesn’t seem very sincere. The only collusion afoot, seems Obama’s collusion with terrorists.

Re: Benghazi. One of those killed was Sean Smith, who was into war gaming. ON the day of the attack, he quit suddenly and told them: I'll be back tomorrow if I'm still alive. and mentioned he saw men casing the place as if they planned to attack.

That was noon US Time according to the gamer board.

So someone should have been aware of an impending attack and made preparations for a rescue, especially since the Ambassador was meeting with a Turkish VIP at the time.

Wired magazine article :

Management Officer assigned to the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, typed a message to the director of his online gaming guild: "Assuming we don’t die tonight. We saw one of our 'police' that guard the compound taking pictures." The consulate was under siege, and within hours, a mob would attack, killing Smith along with three others, including the U.S. ambassador.

Few people know why Obama and Clinton abandoned the US Consulate in Benghazi.

Its simple.

The people attacking the consulate were the same group ferrying the entire Libyan treasury to Obama and Clinton personal possession in Africa:

“On April 2, 2011 sources with access to advisors to Salt al-Islam Qaddafi stated in strictest confidence that while the freezing of Libya’s foreign bank accounts presents Muammar Qaddafi with serious challenges, his ability to equip and maintain his armed forces and intelligence services remains intact. According to sensitive information available to this these individuals, Qaddafi’s government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver. During late March, 2011 these stocks were moved to SABHA (south west in the direction of the Libyan border with Niger and Chad); taken from the vaults of the Libyan Central Bank ,Tripoli......................................................................
Bottom line: Nobody knows where the missing gold is.

The truth is that bammy and hillary deliberately did nothing to prevent their true buddies, muzzies, from murdering the ambassador and 3 other Americans.

He did everything he could to favor his true love, muzzies, while betraying Americans, who foolishly elected him as president.

He is a traitor.

What do you expect from our former President, the America hating Muslim who never chose America over his fellow travelers?

Will the CIA people from The Annex ever be able to tell their stories?? I doubt it......I am sure they are all buttoned up with legal problems IF THEY EVER SPEAK OUT. (But they were all Obama people, so I guess it’s worth it to let the lies prevail as the truth would hurt their false idol)
