Perhaps the most infuriating claim circulating about the Benghazi hearings is that their purpose is to harm the expected presidential campaign by Hillary Clinton in 2016. Those in the media and in Washington pushing this line are morons and charlatans. (You should have seen that line before I toned it down.)
Let's look at what is at stake here. On September 11th, the American consulate in Benghazi was attacked by a terrorist group. Despite repeated warnings of possible terrorist activity in the city and repeated requests for additional security from the American ambassador, there was actually reduced security at that location even though it was the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. The attacks continued for close to nine hours with the result that four Americans were killed and others wounded. After being told of the attacks within minutes of their commencement, president Obama had no further contact with the situation. Let me repeat that: AFTER BEING TOLD OF THE ATTACKS WITHIN MINUTES OF THEIR COMMENCEMENT, PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD NO FURTHER CONTACT WITH THE SITUATION!!! Repeated requests for help by the American diplomats in Libya brought no such help from either the military or Washington. Even attempts by the diplomats in Libya to send marines from the embassy in Tripoli to the consulate in Benghazi were stopped, STOPPED by order from Washington. The last two Americans who died in Benghazi were not killed until right before the attacks ended. There was time to have sent support to Benghazi which would have prevented those two deaths. After the attacks ended, the White House and the State Department covered up what had actually happened. Obama sent UN Ambassador Susan Rice out as a dupe to go on multiple news shows and to push the lie that this had been a spontaneous response to a youtuve video. Jay Carney in the White House also repeated this lie. Hillary Clinton repeated the lie. President Obama was always careful in his words not to definitively state in detail what had happened. Instead, Obama kept saying that we were looking into the situation long after it was well known what had happened.
In short, Obama and Clinton bungled the protection of America's diplomats in Libya. Obama and Clinton decided not to help those diplomats once they were attacked. Obama and Clinton led a cover up to prevent America from finding out about these failures. But the key here is Obama, not Clinton.
America deserves to find out exactly what happened so that it will not happen again. This is prevention, not a political witchhunt for 2016. Indeed, the very claim that this is focused on 2016 is another attempt by Obama and the Obamacrats to take the focus off of him.
WHERE WAS THE PRESIDENT WHEN OUR CONSULATE WAS BEING SACKED? WHERE WAS OBAMA WHEN AMBASSADOR STEVEN WAS DENIED SUPPORT? WHY DID OBAMA NOT CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THE BENGHAZI CONSULATE TO STAY IN THE LOOP? If you don't remember the answer, let me remind you: Obama went to Las Vegas for a campaign fund raiser.
