It has become very clear that at least some of the deaths at Benghazi could have been prevented and that the Obama administration was directly involved in covering up the facts that pointed to their incompetence. Specifically, Hillary Clinton the Former
Secretary of State, did nothing to come to the aid of the consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed by Islamic terrorists belonging to Ansar al-Sharia, an arm of al Qaeda.
Victoria Nuland, the Department of State spokesperson, was instrumental in removing all references to Ansar al-Sharia, al Qaeda, and basically all aspects of the truth regarding what really happened last September 11th.
The Boston Marathon jihadist bombing on April 15th, in Jay Carney's way of thinking may have been "fairly long ago," and the administration would like to see that buried along with Benghazi, but it hasn't gone away. Terrorist One, the older brother of the pair, was killed and no cemetery in Massachusetts wanted to allow his body to be buried on their grounds. But it was learned that an Islamic cemetery in Virginia has opened its arms to the dead carcass and provided him with an Islamic funeral, complete with the al-Fahtihah, a prayer prescribed to be said 17 times a day that denounces the Jews and Christian infidels. The people in that Virginia community were not told of the burial and only today was it mentioned on Fox News after the story appeared yesterday on Pamela Geller's: AtlasShrugs.com.
Now we've learned of another misstep in this administration, but this time it's with the IRS. Seems like our least liked arm of government has been going after not-for-profit organizations with names like "Tea Party," or "Patriot." They've been asking questions about managment's connections things of a more personal nature. It seems that the companies singled out by the IRS, even though they initially denied doing that in the first place, are those that have supported conservatives. Many liberals are just as upset as conservatives as this constitutes an abuse of power by an organization that is supposed to be nonpartisan, but some liberals are yelling "foul," and say the right is being political. Funny, but they never said anything foul about the left when
they went after Nixon for exactly the same thing.
But back to Benghazi. Former Vice President, Dick Chaney told lawmakers on Thursday, "I think Hillary (Clinton) should be subpoenaed if necessary."The good news is that Republicans will continue to press for answers because contrary to what Hillary said, it actually does matter how our four Americans were killed. It not only matters to the family, the mothers who are having a sad Mothers Day today, but it matters to us and our understanding of how something as terrible as this happened and what can we do to prevent a recurrence.
Hillary lied at least 3 times. First when she told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that "we didn't have a clear picture" about the actual facts on the attack, when in fact, Gregory Hicks, the second in command at the U.S. Mission in Libya, testified on Wednesday that he informed Clinton the night of September 11th and 12th of exactly what took place at the compound.
Next, she lied to the Senate when she said that she herself saw what Chairman Mullen and Ambassador Pickering referred to as timely and exceptional coordination--there was no hesitation, no delays in decision-making, and no orders to stand down from Washington or the military." But the Benghazi hearing revealed that help was denied twice--by the State Department's Foreign Emergency Support Team and when Lt. Col. Gibson was ordered to stand down.
Third, when Clinton told the Senate that she did not see any diplomatic cables from Libya asking for more security. "I didn't see those requests," she said. "They didn't come to me. I didn't approve them. I didn't deny them." However, Gen. Dempsey had told the Senate in February that it seemed improbable that she did not see the cables, saying, "I would call myself surprised that she didn't."
One thing that seems quite clear to me is the need for Mrs. Clinton to be subpoenaed for this hearing. I would also like to see Leon Panetta testify too and prove what he said when he arrogantly told us that when the danger is unclear we do not deploy help when American lives are at risk. That's precisely what we do. We do not wait until the danger subsides--we act, we fight, we extract our people--even when they're dead. That's what the military does, and Panetta should know that as Secretary of Defense. Maybe they should have simply made him Secretary of the Secretary of Defense and put a military person in that position; say someone like Alan West. He would have known what to do. But enough said about Panetta; let's get back to Hillary.
Clinton's role in the Benghazi debacle is unclear because she wasn't interviewed by the State Department's Accountability Review Board, and they made great efforts to blame those at the bottom while protecting those at the top. And the media would never hold her responsible for anything that might affect her run for office in 2016--in fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see them applauding when she enters the room.
What's obvious is that there are those on the left who would hold Hillary Clinton blameless under all circumstances--not because she actually is blameless, but because she, like Obama, is a rock star politician. I can only hope that the Benghazi whistleblowers will cast a shadow of real doubt on this administration, but somehow I think they're laughing at the country because they believe they'll get away with their incompetency.
