More than 16 months after the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi, the media continues to run, articles and reports relating to this top story. We now know, due to recently declassified documents, that Gen. Carter Ham, head of the Defense Department combatant command at that time, having oversight of Libya, was aware almost immediately that the attack was neither spontaneous nor the result of reaction to a video. Joseph Curl, in his Political Theater column from January 16, 2014 in The Washington Times said that “The president and the secretary of State knew all along.” And because Obama realized that the revelation would have been disastrous to his re-election campaign and Hillary’s hopes for the 2016 White House race could have been compromised, “…they lied”.
Furthermore, in Rowan Scarborough’s front-page The Washington Times article dated January 20, 2014 the opening paragraph states that “The militants who gathered on the night of Sept. 11, 2012 to torch and kill inside the U.S. Diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, were a who’s who of the modern al Qaeda movement, newly declassified documents show.”
The article goes on to state that the twin disclosures of the Senate report which contained the newly declassified intelligence data mentioned above coinciding with the release of the formerly secret transcripts from the House Armed Services Committee reveal that our nation’s “most senior military leaders quickly concluded that the carnage was a terrorist attack, even though the White House persisted for more than a week in calling the attack a spontaneous act of irate demonstrators.”
Perhaps the best summation of this unbelievable cover-up was given by Wesley Pruden in his January 17 article on the front page of the Commentary section of The Washington Times: “Blind ambition is never a substitute for leadership. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton prove it every day.” Please remember these points next time you vote: the 2014 off-year primary election is scheduled for June in Maryland; the general election will be held in November.
