Benghazi Should Be a Huge Scandal (But Media has Covered it Up)

I've waited a few weeks to discuss in full detail what happened six weeks ago in Benghazi. Oh, I've mentioned in here and there, but due to a host of issues in my personal life I've waited until now. But I believe the time has come to talk about what has transpired over the last six weeks.

What we have seen, friends is both a complete and utter tale of lies from the Obama Administration and the most inept cover up in political history.  Yes, we all know what the President said the day after the attack...he used the word terrorism. Yes, we got that. But then what happened? He went on the View, he went on David Letterman, he sent various surrogates out on Sunday talk shows; and blamed a video.

They said it was spontaneous. They said it was just a protest that got out of hand. (People usually spontaneously protest with rocket propelled grenades and rocket launchers, right? Right? No?)

Then that story blew up in the President's face. So what did the Drive-By Media do? They've engaged in the cover up. It's the equivalent, as Rush Limbaugh has said over the past couple weeks, is the equivalent of "Woodward and Bernstein helping Nixon cover up Watergate."

The dominoes keep falling, by the way. The President claimed he didn't know about the attack. Except if he didn't know, that would make him the single most incompetent President in history.  Not mentioning the fact that, if the President did know and did nothing, he's also been the most UNCARING President (given that he has run on how much he cares, this is especially poignant) in history.

My friends, here's the reality that the Drive-By Media is scrambling to cover up: In my opinion, the Obama Campaign made a calculated decision that admitting that Benghazi was a coordinated terrorist attack affiliated with Al Qaeda (who, according to the Obama Campaign is supposedly dead, since we killed Osama Bin Laden) would be akin to losing the President's best argument for his Foreign Policy strength. So they covered it up. They pretended it wasn't real. They blamed a video.

This President, according to many people in the intelligence community, the military, and other individuals in the know, had the opportunity to send in fighter jets and scramble the crowd. Or they could have let the ambassador have United States Marines guarding him instead of local anybodies from Libya. (Heck, our Ambassador to France has Marines guarding him!)

The bottom line is this: President Obama has failed in his first duty; protecting Americans. It's yet another reason why we must elect a new President next week. Period.

Still Waiting for Barack Obama to do ANYTHING on Benghazi Attacks

Trust me friends, I'm holding my breath.

This is the same President who told us that there would be a retaliation and justice. Of course, this is also the same President who told us that this attack wasn't pre-planned and it was based on a You Tube video that almost nobody has seen. So that's the level of dishonesty with which we are dealing. While we're at it, let's remember this is the same President who told us how killing Osama Bin Laden was the end of the War on Terror.

Oh wait...I forgot. President Obama called the Libyan President and read them the riot act. I'm sure they cowered too, because the mighty Obama said so. They certainly have plenty of reason to be afraid...after all the Obama Administration certainly apologized to the world and to Muslims before the event even happened.

Do you know what the President told the Libyan President? That THEY should do a better job of ensuring our people's safety. I remember the days when Americans protect ourselves. We have the strongest military in the world (for now, anyway). Then again, our Marines on the ground in Libya weren't allowed to carry live ammunition, so there's that.

Friends, you might be inclined to think I'm happy about this (after all, I want us to have a new President in January). But I'm not. I'm sad that we would elect a coward. I'm sad that we would elect a President who would fiddle while our embassies burn.  Moreover, I'm sad that we have a President who continues to claim it was a spontaneous protest due to a You Tube Video, even though we have so much evidence to prove how preposterous this claim is here in the Real World.

But the thing that makes me saddest is the ridiculousness of the Drive-By Media claiming that this makes President Obama seem STRONG on National Security. Or rather the fact that we have a media that would outright lie to us so stringently with a straight face.

What makes me happy is the fact that I frankly do not believe the polls (and their ridiculous sample skews toward Democrats) to show Obama winning. Rather, I believe America has woken up. The shine is off the Obama apple.  And that means a new President in 2012.
