About That Investigation…

The President has said that he has ordered a “very thorough” investigation of our Benghazi response.  He said that no one wants to get to the bottom of this more than he does.

Yesterday, the President’s press secretary, Jay Carney, was asked if the President was involved at all in the investigation.

 

 

Carney said:

“He has not participated in the investigation. He is anticipating results that show us exactly what happened and who is responsible and what lessons we can learn from it and ensure it never happens again. He expects the investigation to be rigorous.”

What did the President do on the night of September 11?  In the evening meeting in the situation room, what orders did he give?  What requests for help did he deny? Were heroes Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty still fighting for their lives when he went to bed?  Who invented the “demonstration that got out of hand” story?  Who asked Susan Rice, Jay Carney and others to repeat that absurd lie?  Who is managing the cover-up at this point?  Who is orchestrating the lies and deception?

Be honest, Jay.  The President does not need an investigation to know what he did.  He already knows “exactly what happened and who is responsible”.   And despite all the attempts by you and the other media lackeys to hide the truth, many Americans have a pretty good idea of who is responsible for this disaster.

It’s just one more thing that will motivate us to get to the polls on Tuesday. Just wait and see.

Karin McQuillan has a good summary of some of the more blatant Benghazi lies.  The following excerpt begins with a damning quote from Obama:

… the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. … I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number-one priority making sure that people were safe.

This is the blatant lie that condemns the liar.  The president says here that immediately, “the minute I found out what was happening,” he gave the order to the military, the CIA, to everyone, to secure our personnel in Benghazi and do “whatever we need to.”

Yet the undeniable fact is that nothing was done.  We know that the CIA security agent in Benghazi, Tyrone Woods, asked for permission to rescue Ambassador Stevens when Stevens was still alive and in the safe room.  Woods was told twice by the CIA to stand down.  He then disobeyed direct orders and rescued the survivors at the consulate, but it was too late for Stevens and Sean Smith.

Secretary of Defense Panetta tells us the military had gunships and Special Forces less than two hours away in Sicily but felt it was too “risky” to send in reinforcements or air cover.  It would have been normal military procedure to pre-position air cover and assets from Sicily to Benghazi, but Panetta says this was not done.  The air support and FAST platoons, we are told, were left in Sicily.  All the U.S. military did was send two unarmed drones to observe the battle.

So if President Obama is not lying about his directives, he is saying that the CIA and the Defense Department and our military chain of command disobeyed the direct order of our commander in chief to do everything in their power to rescue our people under attack in Benghazi.  And that as commander in chief, Obama did nothing in response to their dereliction of duty.

That doesn’t happen.  No one believes that; the president is lying.  He did not issue directives to the CIA, our military, and State to “secure our personnel” and “do whatever we need to do.”

Note:  The image at the top was created by a military special ops group.  They posted it to Facebook and Facebook took it down.  They posted it again, and Facebook took it down again.  After a huge number of complaints, Facebook reversed their censorship.

Twitter also intervened to censor political speech.  Several hashtags about Benghazi and the cover-up were blocked.  It is very disturbing to see information managers like Facebook and Twitter intervening to censor political opinions.

Good Video on Media Bias…

No one can honestly dispute that the majority of the main stream press leans pretty hard left.  There are some notable exceptions such as Foxnews or the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, but the majority are shills for the Democratic party.

Ten years ago in my grad student days at Columbia, I dated a woman who was attending the Pulitzer School of Journalism.  She described the environment at the journalism school as very hard left.  Though a self-labeled liberal Democrat, she said she felt like a right-winger during class discussions about politics.  She was unaware of any Republicans attending the school….

Indeed, polls among journalists show that the political skew is overwhelmingly left.  This is by no means a new phenomenon and for years it has been something that political candidates have had to plan for.  However, this election cycle has been something special.  For the first time, journalists are going a step beyond bias and are now actively abdicating their roles as news reporters if it helps Obama.  Here are some examples of “missed” reports that would end Republican presidencies:

  • Obama chooses The View over world leaders at the UN while our embassies burn
  • Bombing citizens with drones and re-labeling them as combatants to keep your numbers clean
  • Openly ignoring your own intelligence reports to publicly blame terrorist attacks on obscure youtube videos

It really is a dangerous line that the American press has crossed.  Former Democratic pollster and strategist Pat Caddell has a rant about it that is worth watching in its entirety:
