Not only did Obama know about the Benghazi attack and the
fact that it was terrorism within two hours of the start, but he met with Biden
and Petraeus within an hour of receiving that knowledge and while the attack was going on.
A drone and air reconnaissance appeared over the Consulate within an
hour after that meeting began and the White House had access to what was being seen.
Obama could have been watching as Stevens was being killed.
Special Forces and other military options
were available and could have saved the Ambassador and/or some of the dead. There has been some suggestion from the Administration that we could not respond because that would have meant flying across Libya's borders; that being the case, how did our drone and our recon aircraft get there?
Someone at the highest levels of government,
meaning Petraeus or Obama, made a conscious decision not to react. Obama
headed to Vegas to campaign the next day and this started a ten-day insistence
by the White House and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice that Benghazi was part of
Muslim reaction to the infamous video. Rice
was on the list of people who received intelligence emails from the very
beginning, so she was very obviously under orders from someone, Clinton or Obama, to go on TV and claim it was not terrorism...almost
two weeks after the massacre.
Emails
released yesterday also show that there was a direct threat against the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli made at the time of the Benghazi attack, but no additional
security measures were taken there after the Benghazi attack.
Clinton says today, “We’re
still evaluating,” and other White House officials continue their zombie-like chants of “Romney never should have said what he said as soon as
he did.”
And four of our best are dead
while the cover-up and stonewalling go on.
