Really? REALLY?
October 29th, 2012 . by CaryI’m kinda torqued right now. With any intelligent thinking on your part, you are too. Or you will be by the time you finish reading this.
Bengahzi, for those of you paying attention, was a screwed up deal. An American Ambassador and three other American Citizens were killed when the Embassy was overrun by terrorists. It has come to the attention of everyone except NBC, ABC and CBS that the pResident and his administration were able, by virtue of a live video feed from one of our drones, to keep an immediate and up-to-the-minute eye on the situation. Communications were received by the administration indicating the need for help and those requests were denied – to the point of telling the ready forces to “stand down.” Ignoring that order has cost at least one Flag Officer his career.
Requests for help came long before September 11, 2012 – and the administration repeatedly denied requests for stronger security at the Embassies in the Middle East.
Two former SEALs defended the Embassy grounds for over six hours before being overrun. The nearest air base with close air support is less than an hour’s flight away, yet the administration (led by the so-called “Commander In Chief”) said “Good Night” and went to bed. After all, the pResident had to get up early the next day for his flight to Las Vegas for a campaign party, and he certainly couldn’t be bothered with details like American Lives being lost – no, wasted – by an administration with no sense of loyalty or commitment.
Of course, right after the attack it was blamed on a “spontaneous protest” over a minimally exposed YouTube video by a no-name producer. This LIE was propagated and spread by the ENTIRE administration for over two weeks before the information started leaking out through non-traditional sources. The Crime Scene lay exposed and unprotected for over three weeks before the FBI finally went in to “investigate” – and then only after a member of the media started releasing excerpts from the Ambassador’s personal diary – which the journalist found laying in the middle of the burned out Embassy Building.
And now for the really galling part.
Some members of the journalist crowd – both traditional and non-traditional – are adding the appendage “-gate” to this scandal, in the honored tradition of reminding everyone that Richard Nixon ordered a break-in and wiretap of the Democratic campaign headquarters in the Watergate Hotel during his Presidency, which was viewed as a huge scandal. As if adding “-gate” to the end of the Banghazi Sacrifice will somehow soften the news that FOUR AMERICANS WERE KILLED while the ADMINISTRATION WATCHED AND DID NOTHING. I wish to remind you all that no-one died during the Watergate Break In.
And there are still people in this country who think that Obama needs another four years as the head of this country. Or worse, the ones who are still “undecided” about who to vote for on November 6th.
If Obama is re-elected, then God save us. And we, as a country, deserve the consequences of our actions – or inaction, as the case may be.
