The 'Phony Scandal' of Benghazi

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

Dribble, dribble.....

(Deny, deny, deny, stonewall, call it 'phony', threaten everyone with any information within an inch of life.)

WHOOOOOOSH!

That's how these things work out, these scandals.

OS hears the distant sound of approaching waters.

The Telegraph tells the tale, since our own press are too busy assisting the Administration with its cover story.

Up to 35 CIA operatives were working in the city during the attack last September on the US CNN.

The circumstances of the attack are a subject of deep division in the US with some Congressional leaders pressing for a wide-ranging investigation into suspicions that the government has withheld details of its activities in the Libyan city. 

The television network said that a CIA team was working in an annex near the consulate on a project to supply missiles from Libyan armouries to Syrian rebels.

Sources said that more Americans were hurt in the assault spearheaded by suspected Islamic radicals than had been previously reported. CIA chiefs were actively working to ensure the real nature of its operations in the city did not get out. So only the losses suffered by the State Department in the city had been reported to Congress.

Paragraph two is the doozy. What in the name of sanity are we doing funneling arms from Libya to Syria?

Tom Donilon's Out, Susan Rice In As National Security Advisor To POTUS

Wow, we should all feel safer already, don't-cha-know...breathe that collective progressive sight of relief, now that we have a real expert on the job, someone with impeccable credentials and the trust of everyone in the country. Not someone who would peddle a bogus story about some video as the cause of a terrorist attack on an embassy....

Oh, wait....

This also puts her in the White House, directly reporting to the President, and well under the umbrella of executive privilege afforded any president and his advisors, out of reach of those nasty senators and congressmen who might want to ask questions of her under oath....

And...she needs no Senate confirmation to serve in the post!

Sweeeeet!

This scandal will not go away, and the unanswered questions just keep stacking up.  Someone, somewhere in the White House is already talking with his/her lawyer about how to cover his/her backside while he/she tells the unvarnished truth, with the requisite documents (those that haven't been shredded yet) to corroborate the testimony. It's the way the world works. Someone decides they he/she has no taste for prison, or that last flicker on conscience begins to burn, and away we go...

It is only a matter of time...

CBS In The Tank for Obama, Truth Be Damned

If we didn't already suspect it, this is proof positive...

From Breitbart:

In an astonishing display of media malpractice, CBS News quietly released proof--two days before the election, far too late to reach the media and the public--that President Barack Obama lied to the public about the Benghazi attack, as well as about his later claim to have called the attack "terrorism" from the beginning.

CBS unveiled additional footage from its 60 Minutes interview with President Obama, conducted on Sep. 12 immediately after Obama had made his statement about the attacks in the Rose Garden, in which Obama quite clearly refuses to call the Benghazi an act of terror when asked a direct question by reporter Steve Kroft:

KROFT: Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word terrorism in connection with the Libya Attack, do you believe that this was a terrorism attack?

OBAMA: Well it’s too early to tell exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans.  And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.

Therefore, Obama's later claim to have considered the Benghazi attack to be a deliberate act of terror from the get-go was a bald-faced lie.

CBS knew as much, and sat on the footage that would have blown their home-boy's story out of the water. It was released, quietly, unannounced, on Sunday--far too late to enter the debate, but early enough for arse-covering. In other words, they actively abetted the lie.

Any behavior will do, just so long as it achieves the desired result.

These people have. to. go., before they get us all killed.
