Benghazi: Treachery and Shame

Unless you've been in solitary confinement on an isolated island, you've heard what happened in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.  You've also heard about how the Obama Administration perpetrated a lie about what happened by blaming it on an obscure video made by a private person in Cerritos, California and posted on YouTube, which only a handful of people had seen.  Here is a terrific documentary of what happened in Benghazi, by Fox News:  Click here to watch.   Some facts:

Libya had just experienced an insurrection where the dictator, Muammar al-Gaddafi, was hunted down and brutally killed.  The country was without a functioning government, infrastructure and a hot bed of militias who killed at will.  A totally lawless country.  In light of this why would any country, let alone, the most powerful country in the world, the United States, station a handful of diplomats in the middle of this hell on earth with only a half dozen guards to protect them?  Why did the Obama Administration not prepare for a possible attack on the anniversary of 9/11? Why did Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State at the time, refuse the Ambassador's pleading for more protection?  I could go on and on.  Given that it did happen why was nothing done?

Let's look at the possibilities of what could have been done, if properly prepared.  The United States has air bases in near-by Sigonella, Sicily, less than one hour of flying time from Benghazi, Spain and Aviano Airbase in Northern Italy.  In addition, the United States maintains the U.S. 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean, which could have been positioned within 10 minutes of Benghazi.

The Obama Administration gave some pretty lame excuses such as it would have taken too long to respond; we did not know who to shoot at, and other stupid excuses.  Some simple questions:

• Why not send fighter jets over the area where the guards could have easily painted targets for them with a laser?
• Why was the rapid deploy force waiting in Tripoli told not to go? (stand down),
• Why did they even think of putting people in harm's way without the proper protection?
• Why did President Obama not stay in contact with U.S. agents and military forces in the area during the attack? The following day he left for Las Vegas to campaign. Check out this story to verify Obama's absence.
• Why were helpless Americans left to die with no help of any kind?
• Why did the American main stream media not cover this story? Check this for proof.
• Why does the American mainstream media (MSM) refuse to look into why this happened and the lies told afterward, to this day?  Can you imagine what would have happened if George Bush was president?

The cover-up continues.  The people close to this disaster, such as the second in command, Gregory Hicks, was disciplined and hung out to dry for refusing to go along with the Obama Administration's lies as to what happened.  Check out this story, along with an interview that ABC News did yesterday. By the way, this is the first I've seen of any MSM actually checking into this. I applaud ABC News.
