Between Rice’s quest to succeed Hillary Clinton at the State Department and finger-pointing between the intelligence community and the White House, it would be easy to get lost in the sideshows. As I tried to stress again last night, the central issue in probing the Benghazi massacre is President Obama’s dereliction of duty during a seven-and-a-half hour siege in which, as commander-in-chief, he failed to take adequate action to protect Americans under attack. Rice did not lie to the country for her own benefit. The CIA did not author a misleading account of what happened for its own benefit. The obvious beneficiary of these shenanigans was Barack Obama — whose Libya policy of empowering Islamists created the conditions for the killing of four Americans, and whose reelection campaign was based on the fiction that al Qaeda had been defeated by his killing of bin Laden.

 

When it comes to Benghazi, the cover-up is not worse than the crime. The main issues remain: Obama’s overall policy of promoting anti-Western Islamists under the guise of “democracy” (i.e., his four years of “spring fever”); Obama’s specific abdication of duty while Americans were under attack; and the matter of what the administration was up to in Benghazi — were Libyans being detained there? was the administration engaged in an Iran-Contra style operation to arm the Islamsit-dominated Syrian opposition?

 

The Rice/CIA Follies may be a route to the truth, but Congress must not let it become a distraction from the truth.

Have no fear, I am sure it will be a very brief stay.

Plot against Susan Rice no longer racist, now part of plan to get Scott Brown elected

 

 

Or so says Andrea Mitchell and Rachel Maddow. They are both certified journalists...so it must be true.

Presumably, We Aren’t Supposed to Care about Any of This

So, consider this story. It tells us the following about the talking points that were delivered to Ambassador Susan Rice–the very same ones that she delivered to the public:

And to top it all off, according to Obamaphiles, we aren’t supposed to care about any of this, and the nation should just move along because there is absolutely, positively nothing to see here.

 

Does that sound plausible to you? Because I sure ain’t buying it.

Good other media outlets are NOW covering this.

From Watergate to Benghazi, where are Bernstein and Woodward when we need them

Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - Political Potpourri by George Weir

 

WASHINGTON, November 28, 2012 ― The Benghazi coverup makes Watergate look like child's play. The White House is refuting testimony by former CIA Director David Petraeus to Congress saying the administration didn’t make any changes in its early talking points about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, to downplay the role of terrorists.
