Guess who was behind Benghazi?

If you answered Bush you were close but wrong.

This Benghazi story smells and I am highly suspious of it. Almost like it was set up.


 
I remember the day after the attack and Romney was out so quick to attack the President before even the CIA or the State Department could investigate what happened. The talking points about the President not saying it was an an act of terror (when he said it) and today the newest talking points going around reich wing world debating the semantics of using terror or terrorism (as if there is a big difference).

Today I heard on Randi Rhodes a woman saying McCain was in Libya last year and was at Benghazi. If the security was so bad why didn't he speak up when he came back and raise his concerns about the security there? So I decided to do a little research and came up with is "gem"

"John McCain is dying to help Mitt Romney. But is his advice wanted? Howard Kurtz reports exclusively on the 2008 nominee’s failed efforts to counsel Romney, his frustration at a behind-the-scenes role in the campaign—and his damning faint praise for Romney’s foreign-policy instincts."

"For the moment, McCain is something of a caged lion, circling his circumscribed world, using vacation breaks to jet off to foreign-policy hotspots. Early this month, McCain was in Tripoli, where he watched 200,000 flag-waving people pour into the streets to cheer Libya’s first democratic election in four decades. Many approached him, some wearing T-shirts bearing pictures of slain relatives, to thank him for his push for U.S. airstrikes against Muammar Gaddafi’s regime. “John likes a good fight,” says his Senate pal Joe Lieberman. “He likes being in the arena.”

What else was McCain doing in Libya to help Romney?

I am not an investigative reporter but some smart person could really make a reporting cred for themselves if they are able to connect the dots.

All these fake scandals trying to tear down this President instead of trying to get the economy going, jobs, helping the poor and our vets makes me sick and disgusted with the republican party to the point that I think they are the real enemies of America not Al Quaida.

1. The attack was set up. I have believed that from the day it happened.

The whole video thing was a part of it. I don't even care if someone thinks I'm a nut. As you say, McCain was up to his neck in Libya, Romney was all over it like he knew it was coming.

No you idiot, he has an IQ higher than a turnip and could recognize a terrorist attack when it happened.

Yes, but not in the way you are thinking, Anansi.

I told my wife shortly after the Benghazi information started coming out that the whole thing reeked of a Uriah the Hittite moment. For those not familiar with Uriah the Hittite, he had a wife name Bathsheba who King David had an affair with and who got pregnant. When David couldn't cover his tracks by getting Uriah hooked up with Bathsheba he gave Uriah a note to take to the commander of the army, Joab, who was fighting the Philistines. The note was orders for Joab to have Uriah put on the front lines and then having the other soldiers pull back leaving Uriah to die in battle.

I have the sneaking feeling that Obama and Hilary did the same thing to coverup something Obama didn't want made known. I believe eventually whatever it is will come to light.

The whole thing was a setup by Obama to have Stevens kidnapped, then let Obama negotiate his release right before the elections as an "October Surprise".  The problem is that Obama counted on everyone obeying orders to "stand down".  Obama didn't count on the two SEALS willing to risk everything to save American lives.

OK. Let's assume for just 2 seconds that McCain, RMoney et al set up the attacks in Benghazi. How do you DUmmies account for lord zero, hillary and others in this administration floating the notion that this was just a protest for a poorly made YouTube video?  How for you reconcile obama's  callous actions on the night of the "staged" attack of going to bed so he will be fresh for his trip to Vegas the next day for a campaign stop?  What excuse do you have for hillary's  "what difference does it make?" comment?  Or kerry's "we have to move on to more important matters" statement?  Did McCain force them to make such ridiculous statements after he single handedly staged the Benghazi attacks?
