After a week of hesitation, the White House now says it is “self-evident” that a “terrorist attack,” and not just a spontaneous reaction from a furious mob, struck the US Consulate in Benghazi,Libya, last week.
Actually, it wasn’t “hesitation.” The White House insisted that the attack on the consulate in Benghazi was a protest that “spun out of control” — and sent UN Ambassador Susan Rice onto a number of Sunday talk shows last weekend to insist on it. They rolled out a false story even while the Libyan President said there was “no doubt” that the attack was premeditated and well organized.
Why did the Obama administration stick with the false story until it fell apart? The Christian Science Monitor answers that question in the following paragraphs:
The characterization is important, because it opens the door to the conclusion that the attack was a preplanned assault, resulting in the deaths of four US diplomats, including the US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens.
The repercussions of declaring that the Benghazi attack was a planned terrorist assault on the United States would be extensive. For starters, it would raise questions about the Obama administration’s precautions in a volatile region and its preparedness for anti-US strikes in an area known to harbor Al Qaeda and other Islamist extremist elements.

Yeah, well, I think obozo, hitlery and Ambassador Rice wouldn’t admit that this was a terrorist attack and it was planned ahead of time, because they’ve been caught, publicly, in a lie — that Islam is a peace loving religion. The evidence is to the contrary, especailly what they did at the Libyan Embassy to our Ambassador. This proves they are not a peace loving religion. So, the obozo’s admin had to lie to cover their first lie, then when that failed they finally admitted the truth. But, they still didn’t take the blame for not making sure there was security at the Embassy before and on 9/11. How stupid can you can be. These people can’t seem to lead they just follow their puppetmaster, George Soras. So, we have a crisis in leadership in this country and a constitutional crisis. See website: http://www.haasstrep68.com see page 3 for lying DemonRats and RINOs.
This savage attack on our Embassy should cause obozo BIG problems/lots of problems not just “a few problems.” He and Hitlery should be removed from office, in my opinion. But, I guess the cowards in DC won’t do anything about these incompetent/lying leaders in our government. This is a shame!
I believe the best answer to the problem in the middle east is to make it into a glass parking lot for Israel to park her jets on.
MegaMind….. Good idea, I heard drilling through glass is no problem, and the sand storms would all but go away.
Obama lit the fuse in the Middle east by first going on his apology tour and then for not supporting the previous president of Egypt, Mobaric and allowing Colonel Gadaffi to be over thrown and murdered by extremists. Both of these countries are now under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood and many other Muslim countries will soon follow.
It appears that all of the peaces of Obama’s puzzle to “Transform America” are all falling into place. The only thing that he is missing is a little more time and if he is given a little more time, America the way we once knew it will soon be no more.
Any Jew that vote’s for this Muslim should be ashamed of themselves for having turned their backs on Israel. Most African American’s are against gay relationship’s and they also should not vote for someone that is supportive of gay marriage, especially when Larry Sinclair who can be viewed on Google swears that Obama is himself homosexual.
Any Christian that votes for Obama should be ex-communicated from teh church for having themselves turned their backs onto the church.
America will once again stop being the great nation that it once was as each piece of Obama’s puzzle falls into place. If he is removed from office, his puzzle can not ever be completed, so America wake up and protect our country for our children’s and their children”s future.
