This is what is known about Benghazi:
* The US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in a dangerous and volatile region
of the world was left under protected. There were forewarnings of attacks on
other consulates, including that of the US. The date of September 11, 2012
dictated that strong protection should have been in place due to the
significance of that date. This placed the lives of our US Ambassador,
Christopher Stevens, and other US personnel in jeopardy.
* When the attack on the Consulate took place on September 11 it was known
at that time that it was a planned and orchestrated terrorist act by networks
linked to Al-Qaeda. A US Embassy or Consulate is considered sovereign US
territory. This was, in effect, an attack against the United States of America.
It was extremely serious.
* The Commander in Chief, President Obama, makes the decision in such
situations, with consultation with members his Cabinet and White House Staff,
but the President is ultimately responsible for the decision. He chose for US
Military forces to "stand down" in the region. As a result our Ambassador,
Christopher Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, and former Navy Seals,
Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were murdered by the terrorist action against the
sovereign US territory. This failure of action violated all principles of not
leaving behind, and protecting US personnel, particularly while in the service
of our government.
* Many retired high ranking military officers where appalled that those in
service of our government were, indeed, left behind to die. Also many of
them who had tactical military experience and responsibility stated that over
the number of hours of the terrorist act that there was time to
scramble US Military aircraft and personnel with a high probability of saving at
least 2 American lives.
* The President and his staff not only failed to act, but for purely
political purposes so as not to contradict his Democratic Convention speech
where he stated "Al-Qaeda is on the path of defeat...." concocted a story that
the attack in Benghazi was a spontaneous uprising due to a You Tube video when
they knew this not to be true. They then sent UN Ambassador Susan Rice to 5
major television talk shows in order to deliver this false message to the
American people. President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, White
House Press Secretary Jay Carney, and many others in the administration repeated
this lie over and over. They even told this to the families of the dead US
personnel when their bodies / caskets were returned to the United States. The
President of the United States and other key administration people lied to the
American people so as to protect his chances for reelection. Period.
* Information has now come out that not only was the attack NOT due to a
You Tube video, but was clearly a planned and organized terrorist action with
networks linked to Al-Qaeda. As this information came out President Obama, his
administration, and others then began, uncontested by most media sources, to
change their story right before us with no consequences whatsoever.
* In a blasphemous insult to the First Amendment to
the Constitution concerning "freedom of the press" and to the profession of
journalism, media sources such as the NY Times, The Washington Post, The Boston
Globe, The Hartford Courant, USA Today, and many others who had full access to
the truth, chose not to report it. They even went so far to help cover up the
truth and divert attention away for it. They put their blind support of
President Obama over their country, over America. A very sad time for our
nation.
* Democratic leadership in the Congress such as Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and important committee members
such as Congressman Elijah Cummings, and others placed their loyalty to the
Democratic Party over their loyalty to America, and have been complicit with the
lies and cover up concerning Benghazi told the American people. A very sad time
for our nation.
* "Benghazi" is a hundred times worse than Watergate, the 1970's scandal
that caused President Nixon to resign. This was a Nixon White House driven break
in of the Democratic offices at the Watergate Hotel in Washington. Looking at
the truth and facts Benghazi is much, much worse involving incompetence,
malfeasance, unnecessary loss of human life by people in the service of the
government, a failure to respond to an attack against US sovereign territory,
and finally lies and deceit to the American people for purely political purposes
in order to gain reelection to the highest office in our country, the
Presidency. Much worse.
It is time that the media told the truth. For America!
