BenghaziGate: Obama Admin
Knew Libyan Terrorists Had
US-Provided Weapons

Breitbart´s Big Peace, by Ben Shapiro

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 12/5/2012 10:52:26 PM

In a story that’s been largely buried by the media for years upon years – and was doubly buried in the aftermath of the Benghazi terrorist attack on September 11 resulting in the death of four Americans – the New York Times is now reporting that US-approved arms that were supposed to go to Libya rebels went to Islamist terrorists. Even more importantly, the Obama administration knew about it before, during, and after the Benghazi attacks. The Times reports: No evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided

About time this story began to leak out.
I´m quite sure that most of us reading this thread knew what was said in this article...and much more.

NY Times: ...: the Obama administration clearly was worried about the consequences of its hidden hand in helping arm Libyan (Islamic) militants, concerns that have not previously been reported....

Obama´s multiple lies over Libya may finally be unraveling. To update his anonymous WH staffer´s quote from 2011: When you lead with your head up your behind, you can´t be honest about it.

Well, let´s just see what happens. I´m not confident anything will come of this no matter what damning information comes out. The Dictator will skate right on through is my pessimistic prediction.

Neither am I #3. The reason Nixon was brought down was because of the never-ending amplification of a fairly minor event by the press. Do you think the press will display the same tenacity regarding Benghazi?

Nothing will come of it. The watchdogs (the free press) have been brought to heel a long time ago.

Interesting the NY Slime differentiates between Libyan rebels & terrorists... They´re both from the Muslim Brotherhood.

Seems they are trying to place blame on Qatar... The arms were being recovered by our guys, from Gadfly´s supply & sent to the Mo Bro´s; Why would Qatar send arms to Benghazi? Duh.

we all look forward to the supposed end of the wapo, nyt, boston globe, etc. but what is taking their place? not enough people who aren´t already of the conservative persuasion read this and other "right" sites and those newspapers are still being read by many people and not all dems. benghazi, fast and furious, the supposed financial cliff are all being written about by the left press lens and it´s pretty rosy, at least to me. if obama is out in four years, i´ll eat my hat. we are well on our way to a dictatorship and i´m out of energy and ideas. anyone else have any?

So, Obama knowingly, deliberately armed elements of al-Qaeda and their terrorist offshoots in Libya, resulting in four Americans being MURDERED....

....and there are still no questions about Benghazi from Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, Scott Pelley, Wolf Blitzer, David Gregory....

It´s a set up, Canada Free Press has a report about the agenda, Behghazi the weapons distribution center for Obama/Cliinton, and Syria the ultimate aim. They want WAR in Syria with Russia and China. A staged chemical attack perpetrated by us, will lead us to boots on the ground and a step closer to war. 100,000 Russian troops already in Syria, NATO is on the way.

I recall Hillary, along with someone else in the administration, telling Congress at the time of our participation (leading from behind, R2P)in the NATO action on the side of the "rebels" in Libya that some of the "rebels" may be al qaeda, but she couldn´t be certain. She knew darn well, but she threw that out there just in case. No one rose out their chair and demanded to know why we would be supporting al qaeda, but then again McCain, Rubio and Graham were all for leading from behind over there.

The "Fog of Obama" continues to enshroud most all of this regimes activities.

We may have a "Perfect Storm" of dictatorial excess, institutional complicity, media cheer leading and public apathy here.

We will not, however, be the first country to surrender our future to the cannibalistic predations of a parasitic and malevolent government.

This is a well worn path.

Note: When obama moves his right hand -- watch out for the "left" hand....

When obama opens his mouth to speak -- assume it´s a lie.. It always turns out to be.

#7, my suggestion - not that it´s particularly practical -- is for rich Republicans e.g Koch bros, Sheldon Adelson, Steve Wynn, hedge fund guys -- to buy Comcast. That provides control of NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and Meet the Press. That would be an MSM outlet to join Fox and counter ABC & CBS. That´s my solution.

"the New York Times is now reporting that US-approved arms that were supposed to go to Libya rebels went to Islamist terrorists." First of all, Libya rebels ARE Islamist terrorists a/k/a al Qaeda. Second of all, the NY Times knew this BEFORE the election because everyone who was paying attention knew it. But they let Obama win anyway. The Times is beneath contempt.

Anyone waiting for the tank media to connect Obama´s dots to yet another debacle ,
is in for a loooong wait.
Just the other day , Dana Milbank penned a column where he expressed red hot outrage that Romney was
going about his private life instead of stepping up and helping Obama with the fiscal cliff.
I´m not making this up.
They will never deviate from their mantra that Obama is as pure as the white cocaine he used to snort and smoke.

I agree with #22. All the chatter on the election postmortem is so much smoke and noise. NOTHING will change until the main stream broadcast media is neutralized! They have spent the last 40 years propagandizing and dumbing down the public by treating them like mushrooms (keeping them in the dark and covering them with manure) to the point that they only believe the democrat/labor/socialist line of reasoning anymore. I´m not convinced there isn´t a couple of conservatives rich enough buy out two out of three of CBSNBCABC and make honest news organizations out of them. The should be JOB ONE on the conservative agenda before any other future plans are made. Until the people are told the truth in America, things will not turn around.

The controversy over the Obama administration’s response to the Benghazi attack last year began at a meeting over coffee on Capitol Hill three days after the assault. It was at this informal session with the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that the ranking Democrat asked David H. Petraeus, who was CIA director at the time, to ensure that committee members did not inadvertently disclose classified information when talking to the news media about the attack. “We had some new members on the committee, and we knew the press would be very aggressive on this, so we didn’t want

It is never good for an administration when a front-page newspaper article about an ongoing controversy begins as follows: “The White House offered a new account Monday of how and when it learned .?.?. ” That’s what readers of The Post awoke to on Tuesday. In trying to contain the controversy and protect President Obama, White House officials have only added to questions about what happened. Until this week, the story of how White House officials learned that the Internal Revenue Service was targeting conservative groups was fairly straightforward. White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler was notified in late April

There are various reasons you might not care about the Obama administration’s spying on journalist James Rosen and labeling him a “co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor” in an espionage case. Liberals may not be particularly bothered because the targeted journalist works for Fox News. Conservatives may not be concerned because of their antipathy toward the news media generally. And the general public certainly doesn’t have much patience for journalists’ whining. But here’s why you should care — and why this case, along with the administration’s broad snooping into Associated Press phone records, is more serious than the other supposed

There seems to be bipartisan consensus that whatever the White House is doing to fend off scandal is making things worse. Howard Fineman sounds a lot like Right Turn these days: “White House aides are tempting fate with their reluctant, piecemeal and contradictory disclosures of what they knew and when they knew it, especially about a report on the Internal Revenue Service’s 18-month effort to target tea party and other conservative groups for special scrutiny.” The constantly shifting stories from Jay Carney and the IRS dissembling and pleas of ignorance only heighten concern that there has been serious wrongdoing.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

John Podhoretz has a good column today on the Obama administration’s travails. I did not know this bit until I read the column: Even more startling, the search warrant makes clear that the FBI already had everything it needed on the leaker, as the request for a search warrant features quotes from an interview that were tantamount to a confession. It asked that the warrant be sealed — in other words, that Rosen not be told — because knowledge might “cause subjects to flee”! Imagine it: Rosen, an on-air reporter

There’s really no reason for the press to suggest that the recent slew of scandals involving the Obama administration — Benghazi, the AP phone-record seizure, the snooping in James Rosen’s e-mail, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and so on — are a confusing jumble. There is a very clear thread running through all of the administration’s actions: The U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, says that he was told not to speak to a member of Congress about Benghazi without a State Department lawyer present, that he received a phone call from Hillary Clinton’s

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. 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:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

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.

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

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
