If Obama were a Republican, Congress would be making a serious investigation of this coverup and all his lies to cover his support for jihadists in Libya. Instead, the truth dribbles out here and there, with ample time given for the administration to formulate new…talking points. “Petraeus testifies CIA’s Libya talking points were changed, lawmaker […]
Petraeus to testify about Benghazi after all
The story says he will be asked about Broadwell’s possible intelligence breaches. And so this affair could still end up overshadowing the key question that he should be asked: if you didn’t order the CIA to “stand down” and not defend the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, who did? “Petraeus to testify before Congress about Sept. […]

Obama administration officials to be grilled on Benghazi
The Administration’s duplicity on this is abundantly clear already. Will these hearings establish it definitively? Only if the Republicans present have any spine, which is by no means certain.

Benghazi: Classified cable warned Obama that consulate couldn’t withstand “coordinated attack”
Yet Obama did nothing. To have protected the consulate would have been to admit that the rebels were not the democratic pluralists of media myth. Americans died, and he blamed our freedom of speech. “Exclusive: Classified cable warned consulate couldn’t withstand ‘coordinated attack,’” by Catherine Herridge for Fox News, October 31 (thanks to Pamela Geller): […]

Benghazi consulate attackers beat guard, calling him “an infidel protecting infidels who insulted the prophet”
And Obama did nothing but lie and attack the freedom of speech. “Libyan witnesses recount organized Benghazi attack,” by Paul Schemm and Maggie Michael for the Associated Press, October 27 (thanks to 538): TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) “” It began around nightfall on Sept. 11 with around 150 bearded gunmen, some wearing the Afghan-style tunics favored […]
Obama refused CIA requests for military backup during Benghazi attack

Was Ambassador Stevens running guns to the jihadist rebels who murdered him?
Yet another failed hearts-and-minds initiative. These never work, as I explained here. “Libya: The REAL October Surprise,” by Tiffany Gabbay in The Blaze, October 25: …The attack on our diplomatic outpost in Benghazi that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens, two Navy SEALs and an additional civil servant dead has soured quickly from foreign policy debacle to […]
