Political Stage on Benghazi


Benghazi Attacks 9/11/12

Everyone has heard about the Benghazi terrorist attacks on 9/11 last year. It was a huge subject, particularly after the 2012 election between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. This was an attack on the Special Mission Compound(SMC), where 4 Americans died, including ambassador Chris Stevens. This attack happened in Benghazi,Libya. My argument about this subject is that this was not a touchy subject to the White House until after the Presidential Election of 2012. Barack Obama seemed to cover it up during his campaign because he was afraid that it would affect the number of votes the he would he eventually get. Obama said things like “We have Al Qaeda on the run” and “These attacks were sparked by a YouTube video”. How could this be? When Al Qaeda was linked to this attack, if anything they are just growing. As for the YouTube quote, that is ridiculous. If you were to read the UNCLASSIFIED Benghazi Report this was a large attack. Ambassador Stevens did not arrive in Benghazi until September 10. It is highly unlikely that an attack, at this size, was constructed in one night from a YouTube video. This attack was obviously planned well before. I do not think it was a coincidence that this fell on 9/11.
One may say, “how did we not see this coming”, and I agree. There was an IED attack on the SMC on 6 June 2012 that blew a huge hole in the exterior wall of the SMC, and also a couple of other attacks before this event. In the Benghazi Report the stress on lack of security. Why was there lack of security after the events like on June 6? Why didn’t the government do anything? One of the entryways where the attackers entered, was an unlatched gate. The SMC guards said they have left it unlatched before! WHY would they do this? Again, like the event on June 6. People may ask, “why wasn’t there any help?” The fact of the matter is that there was help, but unfortunately they were too far away to get there in time to save the 4 Americans.
White House Speaker Jay Carney said “the White House was not aware of the attack on the night of 11 September 2012.” WHAT? He did lie, but even if the White House did not know, that is awful. Aren’t they supposed to know what is going on if there is an attack? Also the White House sent Ambassador Susan Rice to preach the same story. Yes, the White House threw someone under the bus for them, how juvenil. When General Petraeus testified about Benghazi, he said “we knew these were terrorist attacks IMMEDIATELY.” Yes the White House lied to the American people. America this is our President and his cabinet members, at their best.

Now as for Clinton, did she answer the questions? Or did she bounce around the question like a typical liberal will do? Us Americans were mislead that they were protest. Here is a fact, they were no protests. The Obama Administration was coming up with ideas to try to push this subject off around election time. When Sen. Johnson asked "We were misled that there were supposedly protests and something sprang out of that,. The American people could have known that (there was no protest) within days, and they didn't know that." Clinton did not really want to talk about the lies, so she responded “With all due respect, the fact is we have four Americans” and later said “what difference does it make?” Well here is another fact, YOU LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. For once, admit your mistakes and stop covering them up with more lies.
This is the worst part. Leon Panetta testfied on Benghazi as well. He answered questions like they should, thank god. Senator Graham asked,"You talked to the President one time during the attack?" Panetta answered "Right." So our president cared so much about the information that he called the Secretary of Defense and General Dempsey only once! How could you not make another call wondering on how the situation is going, are we doing anything about it? Panetta talked to no one else in the White House that night. 

So there you have it, my beliefs on the political stage of Benghazi attacks. America we have sworn in a president that will twist stories and blame his mistakes on others. These are facts. God bless the four Americans who died
