Murder At Benghazi

    Hearing a guest being called upon to try to explain away the Benghazi murders on talk radio this morning, I felt compelled as an American to list the available military resources for the Americans at the CIA compound. As I see it, President Obama killed the four Americans - two Navy Seals, an American ambassador, and a communications expert from the State Department- by not providing them an American military rescue. I also see Hillary Clinton,  Secretary of State, as guilty of murder too as she did not oppose President Obama as she should have as an American citizen. The motivation for President Obama to commit murder was his re-election in about two weeks. He did not want an American gunfight and a heavier American "footprint" in Muslim lands.
This might have cost him votes as Americans were reputed to be sick of the warfare, and he claimed to be winding things down peacefully.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not object because she wanted Obama's support when she ran for president, and she wanted to get a pass from him for using an unsecured server to receive top secret government information at her home. Her only objection was that she not go on talk shows the next day and lie repeatedly that the attack was a peaceful demonstration that got out of hand. That job went to Susan Rice.
     I have 13 Hours beside me, on page 147, and will quote: "As the attack continued, Panetta later testified to Congress, two Marine security platoons stationed in Spain were ordered to prepare for deployment, one to Benghazi and the other to Tripoli. A Special Operations force in the midst of training exercise in Central Europe was ordered to prepare to deploy to a staging base in southern Europe. A US-based Special Operations team was told to get ready to travel to the same staging base.
    But in the end, none of them was sent to Benghazi."
    The only thing that came was an unarmed drone with cameras so the political and military elites could watch the events unfold.
    If pressed hard enought,  the president or Hillary may say that we had contracts with two local militias for protection, and they were waiting- 13 hours!- for them to respond and provide protection. Besides the obvious that you don't wait 13 hours during a gunfight, the militias were known to be unreliable. There's no wiggle room with the militias ploy, and it should only be tried with the brain-dead. But who knows the depth of contempt these elites have for ordinary people!
    If the ordinary people of Britain can vote their country out of the control of pampered, authoritarian elites in Brussels, certainly American ordinary people can vote pampered, authoritarian elites out of office in Washington and then demand justice for the deaths of two Navy Seals, one American ambassador who had no business being sent to homophobic Libya by the State Department because he was a homosexual, and one State Department communications expert. Of course this means that President Obama and Hillary Clinton will do everything and anything to get Hillary elected president so she can squash any attempts for justice for these men's deaths. The question is will they murder again to avoid justice? These are no more serious issues than what President Bush constantly faced from an infinitely larger audience, so let's look at them.
