Benghazi MUCH Worse Than Watergate, Unreported

On September 11, 2012 the United States of America was attacked. A U.S. embassy or a consulate has a special status, and any attack is considered an attack on the country it represents. Thus, the United Sates was attacked in Benghazi, Libya on September 11. A high official of the United States was murdered, as well as 3 other Americans, This was a serious affront to our country that could have very easily been considered an act of war.

Prior to September 11 there was plenty of prior warning and full knowledge that Benghazi, Libya was a danger zone. State Department officials have given testimony that they had asked for increased security. Testimony from the head of an elite security force in Libya said that he expected an attack and the U.S. was the "last flag flying" in Benghazi. Middle East expert, Michael W. Hanna, said radical Salafi groups had been planning for weeks to demonstrate at U.S. embassies and consulates on Sept. 11. These plans were hardly secret. Eric Nordstrom, the regional security officer in Libya, referenced a State Department document detailing 230 security incidents in Libya between June 2011 and July 2012 that demonstrated the danger there to Americans. Nordstrom told the Congressional committee that he sent two cables to State Department headquarters in March and July 2012 requesting additional diplomatic security agents for Benghazi, but that he received no responses. There was more, but common sense alone should have told us that with the upcoming September 11, 2012 that security should have been strengthened. It was not, Americans were clearly left abandoned in harm's way.

On the very day of the attack it was known within minutes that this was a terrorist attack and not a street uprising. Heavy weapons were used in a highly organized attack. Also within minutes members of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi were in communication with Washington in regard to the ongoing attack. There is little question that this quickly spread to the CIA, the National Security Administration, the Sate Department, the Department of Defense, to NATO, and to other intelligence agencies...and certainly to the White House. There are also reports that a live video of the attack exists but for some reason this is being kept under wraps, not even allowing a Congressional Committee to see it. All of the organizations above within a very short period of time knew that this was a terrorist attack. Yet during this attack on the United States of America the Obama administration did nothing. The attack on the consulate that lasted 6 hours resulted in the murder of 4 Americans. They were (let's name all of them, they were real people and Americans): Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and Sean Smith. The United States did nothing, just watched the destruction of our consulate and the murder of 4 Americans, didn't even try to scramble military jets, or any other means of defense.

After this attack on the United States of America President Obama left Washington to go to Las Vegas to campaign.

The next day and for several days (even weeks) thereafter, even though there was more than enough information to know this was a terrorist attack and not just a street uprising, President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Press Secretary Jay Carney, UN Ambassador Susan Rice (repeatedly) told the American people either by direct statements, or by inference, that the attack on the consulate was caused by an obscure anti-Muslim video on YouTube. They even apologized for it. Yet it was KNOWN that it was a terrorist attack. The American people were purposely lied to. To compound the lie even further, in a recent Vice Presidential debate, VP Joe Biden said they had no knowledge of the threats to the consulate prior to September 11, and that "intelligence" told them that it was due to an uprising, and it was only later that they found out it was a terrorist attack.

 

Since the real truth has been forcing its way out, primarily through Congressional testimony, the Obama administration has back tracked, but unbelievably still remains fuzzy, on the fact that it was indeed, a terrorist attack.

 

Benghazi is MULTITUDES greater and worse than Watergate. It shows a major failure in leadership. It shows a failure of the Obama Mid East foreign policy. It shows a lack of competency in the assessment and protection of U. S. territory, our consulate. It shows a failure to act in defense of our country that was attacked. It shows outright lies to the American people and a cover up by the Obama administration, apparently for political purposes.

 

Most discouraging of all it shows the corruption of the major media sources in America. The attack on our country, the murder of Americans, and the deception / cover up by our government SHOULD have been front page news over the past month. It was not.

 

Our country was attacked. Four Americans, including a high level government official were murdered. Major lies and a cover up were given to the American people, not facts and the truth.
