Obama’s Thin Red Line

By Obama standards, it’s been his team’s finest hour.
The White House and Obama’s media cohort believe they now have the Benghazi consulate attack story under control. They have, they think, established two foundation points of the narrative that relieve Obama of any responsibility for the events and their aftermath.
The two points are, first, that the deaths of Ambassador Stevens and three others were the result of bad decisions by low-level people in the State Department, not bad policy choices by Obama. The second point is that by doing nothing about the attack — leaving it to the FBI to investigate and Libya to prosecute the perpetrators in non-existent Libyan courts — is preferable to doing anything like, well, turning whatever terrorist cells we can find in Libya into smoking holes in the ground. Both points are patently false.
To say that the deaths of the four Americans aren’t the result of Obama’s bad policy choices is such a quantum leap over fact and logic that it requires us to spend a microsecond resetting our brains before responding. Let’s start with the fact that none of the four would have been in Libya had Obama not chosen to follow Nicolas Sarkozy into war there despite the advice of then-defense secretary Robert Gates that we had no national security interest there.
If we hadn’t intervened, it’s not likely that the small and not very capable French-British force would have been able to topple Gaddafi, so there would have been no U.S. ambassador in Libya, nor would his staffer have been there to be murdered with him.
And if we hadn’t intervened, there would have been no need to send the two former SEALs who were killed into Libya to try to locate the thousands of shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles Gaddafi had which have now gone missing. The four men’s deaths were a proximate result of Obama’s decision to intervene.
The second bad policy choice by Obama is the one that led to the cover-up that is exploding in Obama’s face. Obama has chosen to prostitute U.S. foreign policy on the bed of the so-called “Arab spring.” Obama would have the world believe that the toppling of the Egyptian and Libyan governments of Mubarak and Gaddafi are leading to an outburst of Jeffersonian democracy in the Middle East, the Arab nations blooming with freedoms hitherto unknown in the region and elevating Obama to a Reaganesque status as the liberator of millions.
The problem with that is that while many millions in nations such as Poland now enjoy real freedom, the flower of freedom hasn’t burst into bloom in Egypt or Libya. Egypt is now ruled by the Islamofascist Muslim Brotherhood, which isn’t interested in freedom. Its president, Morsi, rebuffed Obama’s notion that freedom of speech would be coming to his nation. Only Sharia law pertains. Anything that insults Islam is prohibited. In Libya, there really is no government — yet — and the authorities there aren’t identical to Morsi in their politics. But they are identical to him in his rejection of any freedoms that inconveniently collide with Islamist dogma.
Nevertheless, Obama insists on the pretense that he has freed the Egyptian and Libyan millions from the despotisms they lay under before he acted. He and his administration insist that the Libyans will capture the “criminals” who slew the four Americans and will either try them in non-existent Libyan courts or turn them over to us so Eric Holder can have them tried in U.S. civilian courts. That leaves even some of Obama’s best media allies in a bit of a quandary.
Monday’s lead Washington Post editorial is a perfect example. I wrote last week that the FBI was on a fool’s errand in Libya, trying to search a “crime scene” in Benghazi that couldn’t — and wouldn’t — result in any identification or capture of the terrorists who killed the four Americans. Now the Post seems to come to the same realization. It wrote yesterday that the investigation is too much like the investigation of the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, in which the investigators, as the Post describes, were stymied by the Yemeni government’s lack of cooperation and by the U.S. embassy there, which was more concerned with not offending anyone than in capturing the terrorists.
But, predictably, the Post comes down in favor of Obama’s actions. It says that “trials in U.S. courts” are the best option for the Libyan terrorists, should they ever be found. Better that, says the Post, than finding them and killing them in a drone strike. What nonsense.
Which brings us around to the worst, and final, of Obama’s bad policy decisions. It is better, he has determined, for the terrorists to escape than to drop the curtain he has erected around the “Arab spring” and let the nation see just how absurd is the entire concept that Obama has brought freedom and democracy to Egypt and Libya. The lives of four Americans are far less important to Obama than the façade he has erected around the “Arab spring.”
Which, inevitably, led to the cover-up of the events in Libya which is best illustrated in the Fox News timeline.
The Fox timeline shows how Obama personally and many of his minions stuck to the story that there were protests at the Benghazi consulate which somehow morphed into an attack long after the facts were known to them. A few points from the timeline:
- An August 2012 intelligence summary said that al Qaeda in Libya — including the Ansar al Sharia and al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb — were gaining strength there.
- 10 September: Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda’s leader, called for revenge for a drone attack that killed an al Qaeda bigwig.
- 11 September: On the anniversary of the 9-11 attack, State Department officials reported there were no demonstrations around the Benghazi consulate at 2:30 pm local time. At 9:30 pm local time, State Department officials on scene reported large numbers of armed men flowing into the consulate compound beginning an attack that would last for six hours.
- 12 September: Hillary Clinton condemned the attack after blaming the anti-Islam video produced here; Obama says it was a “terrible act” and promises to bring to justice those responsible.
- 13 September: Hillary Clinton’s chief State Department spokeswoman says that security at the Benghazi consulate had been evaluated and determined sufficient; Hillary again blamed the video.
- 14 September: White House spokesman Jay Carney blamed unrest in the region on the video. Hillary echoes that.
- 16 September: UN Ambassador Susan Rice appears on five Sunday talk shows and says that the Benghazi event was “definitely not” a terrorist attack.
- 18 September: Obama on the Letterman show blames the video.
- 20 September: after several media reports showing that there were no protests at the consulate before the attack, Jay Carney admits it was “self-evident” that it was a terrorist attack.
- 24 September: on The View, dishing with the girls, Obama again blames the video, says an investigation was going on and that the attack “wasn’t just a mob action.”
- 10 October: State Department witnesses, testifying under oath, told a congressional hearing that requests for additional security were turned down. Most importantly, Charlene Lamb — the State Department official responsible for security in Benghazi — testified that she was in real-time communication with the consulate during the attack.
There’s more. In the 11 October vice-presidential debate, Joe Biden blamed the intelligence community for Obama’s denials that it was a terrorist attack. Did the intel people know less than Charlene Lamb? That’s what you have to believe in order to believe Biden.

And now that Hillary has stated that "The Buck Stops with Her" she has completely emasculated the president. She now has his testicles between those generous cankles and is grinding them into a pulp. (Saves Moochelle the trouble).
First they threw Hillary and State under the bus. In typical Clinton fashion she recahed up into the speeding yellow disaster, grabbed the little Ones package and has exacted her revenge.
It would be delicious if it weren't so tragic for the country.

Just in time for the 2nd debate, imagine THAT! And there's Little Barry hiding behind her pantsuit.
Von Mises Jr| 10.16.12 @ 9:44AM

Anthony| 10.16.12 @ 10:01AM
To k iott and Kitty, This is perfect, Romney should hit this one out of the park. Lit'le Barry hiding behind Madam (Doublewide) Pantsuits.
When Obozo talked about leading from behind, I never imagined the behind he was talking about was Hillary's.
The pretender-in-chief is not just light in the loafers, he's a complete and total COWARD.
Imagine if Bush tried to hide behind Rice, the whores in the MSM would have gone bonkers, and rightly so.
The Muslim Marxist is a pathetic worm.
TLP| 10.16.12 @ 4:11PM
The REAL STORY is that, President Tower of Babel, got on a plane and went to Las Vegas, and Jay Z, and his Whore's house, to RAISE MONEY, almost immediately after finding out that two of our Embassies had been Sacked, and our Ambassador, and three of his Attachment, had been MURDERED in Benghazi.
That's the Story.
Joellen| 10.16.12 @ 4:30PM
2nd to that Tim, is that we have a ABSOLUTE CORRUPT Media that refuses to report the real story.
sotto voce| 10.16.12 @ 6:29PM
He flew to LV the following morning, which is bad enough (don't know if he skipped his daily security briefing but wouldn't be surprised). What's even worse is that when he was told the night before that the Consulate was under attack and his Ambassador was missing, he went to bed.
CJW| 10.16.12 @ 6:28PM
Anthony,
As ususal the Clintons are very slick with their words. Hillary said she has responsibility for the State Dept but that the security details are handled by the security people. The press reports it that she accepted responsibility. She outsmarted Obama by pretending to accept responsibility and making it appear that Obama is shirking his responsibility. She is not falling on her sword, she has the sword at Obama's back. Now we are all talking about what a man Hillary is and what a wimp Obama is. Did I use "is" without defining "is" like Bubba.
Mike G| 10.16.12 @ 11:49AM
I'm actually surprised she would do this. It certainly shows her as incompetent, which could hurt her chances of winning the White House in 2016. Maybe she thinks the incident will be forgotten by then.
Anthony| 10.16.12 @ 12:34PM
Mike, Rush just said that Hillary is doing this because in addition to being made Sec. of State, Obozo is paying off her massive campaign debts.
Well, so not only do we know what Hillary actually is, we know what her price was.
Oh well, at least Hillary doesn't cum cheap.
Butch| 10.16.12 @ 5:24PM

Joellen| 10.16.12 @ 4:37PM
Mike there is no way this LEFTIST, FRAUDULENT, HYPOCRIT HILLARY, had any chance of winning the White House EVER! This woman(?) has blood on her hands, whether it is through her promoting and advocating abortion throughout the world (her other hero is Margaret Sanger); or the recent murders of our Ambassador and three American Soldiers. I WILL NEVER FORGET! And one more thing, these fiends are not incompetent - they are succeeding at everything they set out to do - create chaos and eventually anarchy. Dont you forget that!

I say this not as a chauvinist, for I despise sharia. But a little of the Lara Logan treatment in Egypt would be both deserved and educational for her, and I can't think of a worthless scumbag who deserves it more, and at their hands. She killed our Ambassador.

There is no great loss without some small gain. It is probable that should Romney win, the Sixties will finally be over.

DTOM| 10.16.12 @ 9:01AM
chuck,
If only. Did Chappaquiddick put down Ted as it should have? Not really. Sure no Oval Office for Teddy, but we had to look at him for another forty some years.
The blue dress didn't sink Bill - a couple of dead Americans won't sink Hill. Bill wouldn't let her get away with surrender.
Besides Hillary's tight with the Muslim Brotherhood through Huma Weiner-the MB will be funneling millions of dollars to both Clintons until they are pushing up DANDELIONS. No daisies for them!
Those two are the biggest political threat to our country - after vote fraud...
DTOM
chuck| 10.16.12 @ 6:55PM
Yea, but the big prize for Shrillary is the Oval Office. One dead ambassador will forever keep her, and Bill, from ever returning to the White House.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Ambassador Stevens for this. May he rest in peace.

Once again leftist fantasy and reality collide and people end up dead. Obama and Hillary were the two suckers who bought into this "Arab Spring" nonsense. Evidently leftists don't learn from past mistakes made in the Middle East ( Carter with Iran ), that when you remove the Dictator Radical Islamists fill the vacuum. Unless of course that's what the Muslim Obama actually wanted to happen.
Von Mises Jr| 10.16.12 @ 9:54AM
And one must remember that at the time of the intervention, Obama unilaterally made the decision to attack Libya. It is 100% his baby.
Joellen| 10.16.12 @ 8:36AM
Hillary is a disciple of Saul Alinsky, just like Obama and his whole administration. They will never go away. This battle we are in, we are in it for life, so never get complacent, they dont!

Oct. 16th: I wonder - if Obama had made time to attend his intelligence briefings, is it possible that the need for more security for our Embassies and Consulates had come up and he would have been made aware of those security essentials? Romney should hammer Obama about his indifference to Intelligence briefings. And he should remind people that Obama did indeed answer that '3a.m. call' and then went back to sleep and when he woke up, he went to Las Vegas...what kind of President does that? How could he have gone to Vegas after learning that our Ambassador and other Americans had been brutally murdered by Islamist terrorists? And that the Middle East was on fire? Romney needs to hammer this home...
Seapuss| 10.16.12 @ 8:57AM
There is no explanation for the "Benghazi was the result of a protest over a YouTube video" story, which Obama and members of his administration repeated in the media for nearly two weeks, other than it was a political cover-up.
Anyone (and everyone) with first-hand knowledge of the attack on the Benghazi Consulate (the State Department and, I assume, members of the faceless "Intelligence Community") knew instantly—in real time—that it was a pre-planned terrorist attack, and that no protest over a YouTube video (or over anything else) had occurred or was in any way involved. Thus, with absolutely no facts to support it, the story that "Benghazi was the result of a protest over a YouTube video" literally had to be created out of thin air.
Stories created out of thin air are known by another name: LIES.
Anthony| 10.16.12 @ 8:58AM
So Hillary is taking the big one for the team. I guess she really has given up hope for 2016, especially when Romney wins and the truth does come out.
The whores in the MSM have demonstrated that they truly are undeserving of any respect or attention.
If this was Bush, the media would be screaming, "CONNECT THE DOTS", it would be news 24/7, but it appears that catchy phrase is only reserved for Rs.
If we don't defeat Obozo, America is finished, and if Farrakahn wants riots after a Romney victory, bring it, house cleaning is long overdue.
DTOM| 10.16.12 @ 9:07AM
Anthony,
Lame stream media has already ordered twenty six rolls of heavy brocade wallpaper to paper over this little "bump in the road."
Hillary is worse than Dracula - she eats silver crosses pounded through her heart for breakfast...
Boy, it would be nice if they would just quit - but there's no quit in them - especially after seeing how much Barry accomplished. He passed Hillarycare!!!!
Tell everyone you know to vote on Nov 6 - let no one stay home, none, except of course the thick-headed O supporters...
Don't Tread On Me!
MelvinNC| 10.16.12 @ 9:54AM
If my design that the Republicans win, they figuratively could drive a stake through that Communist's heart by holding her through investigation directly responsible for four Americans death's in Libya.
The death of four Americans should not be touted as the cost of doing business in the Mid-east. These four Americans should not be Hillary's or Barry's, "Ooops, we made a mistake." This brutal murder was no, "Ooops, or mistake." The death's of these Americans lie directly at the feet of the Nehru pantsuit wearing worthless Sec. of State and Barrack Obama.
Hillary and Barry are as culpable in the deaths of our fellow Americans as if they pulled the trigger themselves.
Anthony| 10.16.12 @ 10:06AM
Between Fast & Furious and now Benghazi, Obozo, Holder, and Clinton have so much blood on their hands, they belong side by side working in a Chicago slaughter house.
Oh wait, they already do, my bad.
spoofproof | 10.16.12 @ 10:41AM
In the 2nd debate (October 16th 2012) between Romney & Obama, Mr. Romney should treat the gross betrayal of those under Obama's command in Benghazi as painful gout in Obama's left big toe. Mr. Romney should stomp Obama's Benghazi big toe hard & often. Romney should give Obama a kind of pain that Obama has never experienced before: the pain of unsparing humiliation. And if Candee Crowly interferes, humiliate her too. Romney should scorch Obama's earth. The future of Constitutional liberty is at stake. (h/t Wes Pruden, Washington Times for the gouty big toe imagery) Here is a picture of what actually happened to Obama's Ambassador: http://www.thesupernaturalist......TEVENS.htm

BackToBasics| 10.16.12 @ 11:01AM
Drudge has a link to an article that quotes Clinton as saying, ""the confusion you get in any type of combat situation."
In "combat" situations you increase security, it's that simple!
There were at least 230 security incidents logged by the US in the months leading up to the 9-11 attacks that killed 4 Americans.

Yeah, Madam Hillary chalks the confusion up to the "fog of war". What war???
When Bush & Co., who were actually conducting a REAL WAR, in real time, with real elements of the unknown, made mention of the "fog of war" the media whores and the Ds went ballistic.
But Obozo and Hillary get away with any damn thing they say.
How sick are these leftists?
BackToBasics| 10.16.12 @ 6:52PM
The more they say, the deeper they dig themselves into the pit. Obam should be taking the fall for this too, but what Clinton said does not clear them of culpability regarding the lack of security at all.
Alan's Girl| 10.16.12 @ 11:18AM
I do love that photo that heads this story-- Hillary's atrophied hands curled up under her chin. Very appropriate for her stance on the world stage. What an image for the Secretary of State of the most powerful country on the planet.
Who Knows?| 10.16.12 @ 11:22AM
Who was the guy who made “straight talk” famous?
Anyway, it’s blatantly obvious that crooked talk is ALL there is from liberals, and Obama is the master of ceremonies for this crowd. Maybe what goes around comes around is about to up and bite him.
I once read a book, “Infinity”, that playfully explained the Universe and light.
Imagine the number line, which goes to negative infinity on the left and positive infinity on the right. Obviously, in our conventional “wisdom”, we assume the line goes on to infinity, in both directions.
However, assume that “at infinity”, the line connects, so that plus infinity meets minus infinity.
Who Knows?| 10.16.12 @ 11:32AM
Hey, space-time is supposed to be closed, according to Einstein.
Now, based on this, consider light.
The book “proved” that any light beam, at infinity, turns around and comes back to its source.
Therefore, all those stars one sees in the night sky are really just reflections “at infinity” of previous beams from our sun. There is only one star, our sun.
Cute, huh?
So, it could be that with Obama, who’s taken the previous master of crooked talk, Bill Clinton, to a higher power, is like that light. The lies are bending, at infinity, coming back at us, maybe cleaned up or naked, and will be seen in truth by enough people to bring the Great Awakening so desperately needed.
John II| 10.16.12 @ 8:35PM
Yeah. Makes sense to me, Knowie. But I read a lot of Philip K. Dick before I died.
And now back to "Forbidden Planet" (1956), in which Leslie Nielsen is, as always, out of character in the role of an earnest leader of a space expedition a planet where Shakespeare wrote "The Tempest." Robby the Robot is particularly good as . . . well, Robby the Robot. He's somewhere in a closet now in Sony Studios, where MGM used to live before the Japanese won World War II by taking over the US economically. Partly with monster movies like "Godzilla."
Klabautermann| 10.16.12 @ 12:09PM
On November 3, 2011 in "Vox populi, vox Mohammad?" it was predicted that, "If events in the Middle East turn sour the media’s first response will be to ignore them. However, this may eventually become impossible." Well the murder of our Ambassador cannot be swept under the rug. Thus the frantic efforts to come up with excuses. The President can attend fund raisers during these "bumps in the road" but he will pay a price. Obama is the architect of a new Middle East, like Carter was the architect of a new Iran. First Gaddafi, then Moubarak, now Bashar al-Assad. Assad is a terrorist supporting, anti western tyrant. He will be missed. What replaces him will not be pretty. Is the Saudi Royal Family far behind? All these events in the Middle East are unexplainable. It is bi partisan with McCain and Graham on board. Why was there higher security provided to Barbados than Libya? Why was an obscure security firm hired to provide security? Are we subcontracting our embassy security to al-Qaeda? This reminds me of a remark by James Forrestal, "Consistency never has been a mark of stupidity. If the diplomats who have mishandled our relations with Russia were merely stupid, they would occasionally make a mistake in our favor."
Rockabilly| 10.16.12 @ 12:34PM
What this whole thing really illustrates is the importance of Fox news which was virtually the only big national media on this story. Were it not for Fox there is eery chance all this dirt would have been under the rung until after the election which is just what Obama's strategy was all along. At age 66 it makes me wonder what went unreported all those years before there was a Fox news channel and the "big three" monopolized the air waves.

"We can only wonder what goes on in the White House late at night."
And we can only wonder about the stupifying ignorance, or the anti-American and unAmerican motivations of our fellow citizens who will vote to re-elect obama anyway..
pigdog| 10.16.12 @ 3:33PM
Events have spun out of control for the Obama administration. The only thing that can be controlled are the talking points, and that spin is coming from the campaign.
There is something missing in the timeline, and that is the embassy protests in Egypt. The initial criticisms from Mitt Romney were related to Obama's foreign policy, and were prompted by events in Egypt, not Libya. Protests popped up in other Muslim countries, ostensibly related to the much-condemned video.
Then the American Ambassador to Libya is murdered. This murder was campaign gold to the Obama Re-elect Committee. The murder, following Romney's policy critique in response to Egypt, allowed Chief ORC Axelrod to pounce. How unpatriotic of Romney to criticize the Commander in Chief in the midst of a foreign crisis, only to learn later that four Americans died! Shoot first, aim later!
But the ORC went out on a limb ahead of the facts, as known by the State Department.
Had Romney remained silent in response to the blasphemous video protests, events in Libya would have been seen for what they were--a terrorist attack. There would have been no reason for the campaign to orchestrate an attack on Romney, and for the administration to lie for so long about that blasphemous video. So you see, it is Mitt Romney's fault.
If these events were following a script, it could only have been written by James O'Keefe.

"Let's start with the fact that none of the four would have been in Libya had Obama not chosen to follow Nicolas Sarkozy into war there despite the advice of then-defense secretary Robert Gates that we had no national security interest there."
This is true. However, having toppled Ghaddafi did not require that we open an embassy.
Which doesn't help Obama's case any. I just tire of hearing how we had no reason or interest in ridding the world of the thug. Perhaps I feel different because I'm an alum of Syracuse University which every year has memorials for students killed on Pan Am 103.
