Rattling In the Closet

The
more I hear (or more correctly, DON’T hear) about the September 11, 2012 attack
on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the more furious I am with all
arms of the government and especially the media. While the rattling of the skeletons in the closet of this
disaster grows more deafening, information on this incident is more obviously
and deliberately sequestered (let’s use THAT popular word in a proper context
here) from public scrutiny. No wonder
anyone with a thinking brain refuses to trust any government official or anyone
in the media on this subject.
In
the first place, this incident and how it was handled should have stopped the
current administration’s push for re-election dead in its tracks, but it surely
didn’t seem to matter at all. One of
the ONLY things the federal government, and especially the executive branch of
it, is definitely responsible for is our foreign policy and protection of its
representatives on foreign soil, but failure of that is the Obama
Administration’s only claim to fame in this debacle. Just how badly they failed, we will probably never know.
So,
why re-elect more of the same?
Answer: because the media fell down on the job of
investigating the facts of this story – that’s why. Welcome to four more years of bungling incompetence and blatantly
dangerous foreign policy.
These
congressional committees that are tasked with the responsibility to “get to the
bottom” of the Benghazi affair are (so far) failing to cast any more light on
the subject. The hearings are
infuriating in and of themselves.
Hillary’s response of, “what difference does it make now?” was extremely
insulting to ALL Americans – whether or not they have the sense to realize
it! I guess that is just the way she
has to live her life though. (I mean,
what difference does it make if Bill DID diddle Monica in the Oval Office?) eh
Hillary?
Not
a damned bit of difference to the brain dead American people evidently!
But
let me go on record here – it DID offend the hell out of me, just as your
handling of the Department of State has!
If God will continue to bless America, we will never have to suffer you
as our president, and you and your husband and your former boss will fade into
the annals of American History, (as so many of your progressive predecessors
have) as just a bad dream!
Oh, and Mr. Panetta – we all know the military is not like civilian law enforcement with a “responsibility” to answer a 911 call. How grossly insulting! Yes, folks, that’s what he had to say when asked why the military wasn’t sent to “respond” to the attack. 911 call? Requests for better security there and other locations had been coming in for months, and the ambassador had literally begged for help. Instead, he was answered with cuts to his security! Also, spare us the lies that nothing could have been done or that the Pentagon did all they could do. And another thing – how stupid do we have to be to believe that the military could have done more harm than good? Yep, he said that too. (Just like the cops do more harm than good when a 911 call DOES go out, eh, Leon?)
While
the administration is busy cleaning house of Clinton and Panetta, their
replacements are laughable and horrifying at the same time! They had to dig long and hard to find
somebody who would be a more deplorable Secretary of State than Hillary, but
God help us, they did it! John
Kerry? Are you kidding me?? Then there’s Chuck Hagel to replace Panetta
– oh great! I have never seen a more
deliberate attempt to make American foreign policy a laughing stock than these
two replacements with Obama at the helm of a second term. Believe me, our enemies (and there are so
many more now) think we are idiots!
(Let’s not forget “no jihad” John Brennan to head the CIA too. Yeah, that’ll help – our enemies
anyway!)
Back
to the skeletons of Benghazi, though.
That attack (on American soil I might add) happened five months ago,
folks! Four Americans lost their lives,
but some people did survive. Where are
they now? Why doesn’t the American
public have access to THEIR story? So,
Hillary spoke to one of them – okay fine.
That’s all good then? Inquiring
minds DON’T want to know I guess. Where
is the outrage?
How
long do we have to listen to the Rattling of all these Benghazi skeletons
before someone opens the closet door and tells the real truth? We know more about the recent Algerian
attack, after only a few weeks than we were ever told about Benghazi. Well?
Does anybody have any satisfying answers?
