Obama’s Libya lies crumble
Washington Examiner [DC], by Conn Carroll

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 9/27/2012 8:44:00 AM

We seemed to have reached a tipping point in the liberal media’s coverage of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. This morning, The Washington Post has published to the web a devastating timeline of Obama administration statements on the attack that clearly demonstrate Obama has been lying about the incident for political gain from day one. The Post writes:In any kind of confused overseas event, initial reports are often wrong. But the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans were killed, including the ambassador, is a case study of how

"If Congress does not hold Obama accountable, eventually the American people will."

As much as I want that to be true, it isn't. Obama has and will skate on every mistake, blunder, lie, gaffe and crime he commits. The media will cover up everything, the Senate will ignore everything and the House won't do anything for fear of being called racist.

Just a bump in the road. Nothing to see here.
Obama lied, people died and are STILL dying!

Not one soul I know is talking about Libya. Americans needed to understand the prison our life is going to be under UN Agenda 21, apparently Romney doesn't care and is positioning himself as another Bush-like mid East hawk. What a jerk.

Not only lies, but obvious ones. And Romney was excoriated for jumping the gun, when everything was obvious to people like us who consult the internet, not the administration, for our information. One look at the horrible photos of Ambassador Stevens and we knew no kindly Libyans had carried his body to the hospital but that he had been deliberately killed. How can Romney redeem himself after the media blamed him for speaking the truth "before the investigation," that is, the disinformation began? Hope this will come up in the debates.

To admit this event was a terrorist attack, O would have had to respond. He is incapable of making tough decisions and, as a Muslim sympathizer, unwilling to take a hard line. IMO, he parroted the lines he was given by his handlers and now like a child feels he has to stick to them no matter what. It's embarrassing for our nation, but I don't think he cares.

As has been said many times, if this were a Republican administration everyone, including the media, would be calling for his resignation. But the Democrats will cover for him because that's what criminal organizations do, and the media is the most corrupt and sycophantic I've ever seen. And I saw the Clinton years.

Remember this comment during a protest? "There are a million of us and we are all Osama Bin Laden."

I saw it only once then it completely disappeared. No conversation about causes for the attacks and violent demonstratons ever mentioned Obama's repeated spiking the football over Bin Laden's death.

The four deaths lie squarely at the feet of Obama and his incompetent administration. All excuses and blame-shifting coming from them is 'just noise'.

Obama has lied about Libya all along. It has been leadership by dithering, lying and 'from behind'.
Obama's original justifications for ousting Gaddafi included disinformation whose goal was always to protect Obama politically.
The complicit MSM has always winked and protected Obama, but with an Ambassador murdered and our consulate in ruins, it has been a little harder this time.
These lies are at the core of Obama. He demands that we pretend to believe, but more and more, we do not.

Good for WaPo for a change. This is a HUGE scandal. We need to go on a reverse offensive. We need to wave evidence under the MSM's noses while they are reporting their lies. We need people with signs behind their live shots. We need demonstrations in front of their corporate offices. The only way this iron grip of liberal bias will ever be broken will be by direct action.

I find it almost Biblical in the way our modern times reflect the prophecies.

The concept of Good vs Evil is rejected by the Progressives, no God, thus you can do as you please without fear of retribution.

If there were ever a finite definition of Evil, the Islamic Terrorist are that in spades.

I agree with all your remarks here but it does not seem to matter!! For example- the military is facing huge cuts in Virginia and Obama has promised to destroy the coal industry and YET Obama is "up" in Virginia. Can Anyone tell me what about the last 4 years makes folks want more?? What has happened to our country in the 4 years this man has been in office? 2 years ago folks were mad as hell and flocking to the polls- and today no one cares much?

Obama's not really up in Virginia. Those polls are bogus because they oversample Democrats on the theory that Democratic turnout will be as high, or even higher, than it was in 2008. There's not a snowball's chance in hell of that happening.

Maybe I'm just an optimist (it's why I'm a Republican), but I truly believe that most voters *are* noticing all of the garbage going on with the Obama administration, despite the media's effort to whitewash it. It may not be the first thing on the minds of people who don't dwell on politics, but it's out there.

They knew from Day One it was a terrorist attack. We knew that they knew. Now everyone knows.

Of course, the MSM will be in full apology mode for Obama and this will not go beyond a headline, but it is entirely damning. This begs the question: how many more terrorist attacks have there been that this Administration as lied to us about? I'm afraid if we open the door to that closet, we'll be removing skeletons for just about forever.

The Diane Sawyer Mafia Media TV Protection Racket has to be getting backed up maximum now with all the incredible lies protection and ommission protection, simply not saying what is actually happening. Now, it has to happen: one person, at least, a Brian Williams, Anderson whatever, at least one of these liars HAS to break out, like in a crime movie, and CONFESS to all the lies he is paid big bucks to make every day. This could be the breakthrough to a new America.
We have Brietbart, Lucianne, Drudge doing the truth serum right now, and it's GREAT.
The next step is for one network robot to step up and CONFESS all that he has known, and all the he has not been allowed to say.

Remember, they all belong to the same TV union, they're in the same "fraternity" so to speak, so OUR GUYS are their enablers and not 100% helpful in attacking them.

FTA: ''President Obama appears to be the only member of his administration still sticking to the original lie that the Benghazi attack was prompted by a video. The head of Obama’s National Counterterrorism Center, White House Spokesman Jay Carney, and even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have all admitted that the Benghazi attack was terrorism.''

This clearly shows that 0bama IS the smartest person in his room [White House]. S/.

Or, he had the Ambassador murdered in Libya on Sat. 11 anniversary to take the heat off his falling poll numbers. I know which I believe.

Anybody else getting the uneasy feeling that there is still something there that we aren't seeing? Like a shadow on an X-ray? A blank space?

We know that the Obama crew likes their little intrigues. They set up Fast and Furious to let guns into Mexico so that they can push stronger gun control here. They have Stephanopolis ask a question out of left field about banning birth control in the Republican debate, setting up the "war on women" narrative they are about to launch. So ....

What if the demonstrations over the video were a set up to discredit Christian fundamentalists, and to silence and intimidate "intolerant" Christians generally here in the election? That general called the Florida minister the next day. That sure was quick. What if this was an elaborate bit of political theater they were just starting to run? Did the attack in Benghazi and the assassinataion of Ambassador Stevens by alQaeda derail the whole thing, much like the killing of the border agent with a Fast and Furious gun derailed that scheme? If it were you, and you got caught doing it, what would you do? Stick with the first story as long as possible? Then fall back on a "security failure"?

This whole thing stinks, and we STILL don't know what is REALLY going on.

I'm sorry for the double, but as a continuation of that thought: the English paper printed a story stating that the Pakistani "demonstrations" were a handful of people yelling for the camera. Rent-a-mob. Then Newsweek does its Crazy Muslims cover. The whole middle east would seemingly erupt over a video made by a "Coptic Christian" who now tuns out to not be Christian at all, but has ties to terrorist bad guys. Then Obama goes to the UN and delivers a speech (written how long ago???) chastising Christians and calming the waters, and the middle east goes silent. Obama the peacemaker. Foreign policy genius. Who is there who is like him?

But AlQaeda had their own plans. The more I think about it, the more pieces begin to fit this scenario.

#42... Like you I think there is something else going on. I just don't understand the need for them to cling to the story that the attack was about the movie/video.
So what if it was "terrorism" and 0bama admitted it right away? What difference would that make?
Yet they clung to the "it was about the movie" narrative for more than a week. It makes no sense. What would have been the political downside?
Yes it was a "security lapse" but "we are moving quickly to secure all of our embassies in the middle east."
That's all they had to say and the MSM would be giving them a pass and we'd be talking about Mitt's latest gaffe.
No, they can't be that stupid. There is something else going on...

I was shocked when Obama on CBS 60 minutes said that the murder and sodomy of brave American men in Bengazi were "just bumps in the road". Obama lied to the UN about the silly video that nobody has seen as responsible for the terrible muslim violence. His statements were disgusting and horrible. His lies are dangerous folks.
Obama does not even understand that propaganda can't be all lies and must contain some relevant facts and half truths. He is either an idiot or a pathological psychopath. Obama know nothing about muslim/arab history and that is a shame. Perhaps someone should sit down and teach him something about the 1300 year war that the muslim waged on Christians.
I wonder how Obama would feel if he send his gay friends to work in Libya and they were murdered and sodomized?

Perhaps the "trailer" of the "movie" was made available by obama's boys,to incite the uprisings, but didn't calculate the slaughter of the Americans. He now must keep suggesting it was the "film" to maintain face with those with whom he conspired. Riots all over the ME,Europe Africa,without those deaths,would have provided him the opportunity to be "peace=maker" on the run-up to the UN General Assembly and begin the process of implementing his final push for his re-election.

Fox News was the first and is still out front in looking into this even though others are starting the coverage for CYA purposes. Today on Special Report, Judge Napolitano was angry and adamant. He said the failure to provide extra protection to the Consulate when they had indications of possible attacks in connection with 9/11 and now the failure to send FBI to secure the scene amounts to criminal negligence. I'm sure he doesn't throw that term around lightly.

Back in 2008,we already knew Barack Obama would be a disaster. In fact, I had posted on a site that I thought he would get people killed. Barack reminds me of the character of Lt. Norman Dike in the Band of Brothers - another empty suit, who couldn't make decisions but because he was favored by higher ups, he got to command Easy Company and got men killed during one of the attacks he led.

The problem is that the enemy is not being correctly identified because of political correctness, even by George Bush. Osama bin Laden is not the source of jihad, and long after his bones are picked clean by fishes, there will still be others like him. As long as there is a politico-religious system in place that aims for world domination, there will be holy war.

I've listed out the reasons why I think it is happening now on my wall on the Connection. I think it has to do with wealth from oil sales going to a bunch of people with a penchant for theocratic world domination.

President Obama will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in California on June 7-8, the White House announced Monday. It will be Mr. Obama’s first meeting with Mr. Xi since he became president of China in March. They previously met in Washington in 2011 when Mr. Xi was vice president. The talks come amid heightened U.S. tensions over cyberattacks reportedly originating in China. But the Obama administration said it has been pleased with Beijing’s cooperation in trying to persuade North Korea to reduce its belligerent military actions this spring.

Report: Apple avoided billions

WASHINGTON- Apple Inc. has used an elaborate web of offshore subsidiaries to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. taxes on $44 billion in foreign income over the past four years, a Senate investigation has found. Many of the tactics, such as cost-sharing arrangements, are common among large multinational corporations seeking to shift profits to countries with lower tax rates. The investigation did not find Apple violated any laws.But three of its subsidiaries in Ireland claim to have no responsibility to pay income taxes to any country, according to a 40-page, bipartisan report released Monday

Monday afternoon, ABC News released a chilling report that details what journalists have faced while trying to get some answers from the Cincinnati IRS office, which is where a majority of the Tea Party targeting took place. According to ABC, an "armed uniform police officer with the Federal Protective Service" "escorted" reporters through the public building. ABC says if the intent wasn´t to "scare off" employees who might talk, "it was the effect." ABC News is also hearing conflicting reports from Cincinnati IRS employees and the IRS Headquarters in Washington.

CINCINNATI- Few workers know the IRS Cincinnati office better than Bonnie Esrig, who worked there for 24 years. She retired from her job as a senior manager in January. Esrig said she did not recall any discussion of politics in the office. "Politics and religion were things people generally didn´t talk about at work," she said. Esrig did not work on political cases and was not connected to the applications at the center of the controversy. But she worked in the same office where fewer than 200 people were dealing with 73,000 applications for exemptions last year.

On her blog this afternoon, Fox News’ On the Record host Greta Van Susteren wrote that the Department of Justice should feel “lucky” they did not hack into her emails like they did with her colleague James Rosen several years ago. While that sounds like a veiled threat against the DOJ, Van Susteren was actually making a joke about how her personal email account mostly contains correspondence and information regarding her sick dog named Audrey: Had Justice hacked into my personal email account this weekend, they would have had to sort through all the emails from the vet

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
