The Libya cover up. My theory.

[OldSchoolRanger]

"AS for why all the stupid misstatements from the OB administration, I strongly suspect that OB had no #%&^ing idea what the hell was going on......as usual."

The latest leaks show that they knew in the White House that a terrorist organization had claimed responsibility for the attacks at 2 hours into the attack. It has been known that there was live video feed from the embassy back to the State Department. There was a video feed from an unarmed drone. It is quite a stretch for me to believe that with that much info available, that 0bama didn't know.

There were Specter gunships an hour away in Italy. There were other NATO assets in Malta, Italy, and Greece. Additionally, if they could put 'unarmed' Predators over the area; they should be able to get 'armed' drones there also(not convinced that the Predators videoing it all were unarmed). Not to mention that there is a country named Israel that owes us a lot of payback on past favors that would be chomping at the bit to put some hurt on tango's if someone had just called them. There is a whole Airborne brigade in Italy that should have at least a company sized element on alert status that could have in the air&enroute in a matter of minutes. Not sure how long it would have taken them to get there though.

The point that was raised and is most troubling to me is whatever happened to 'No man left behind'?

The problem with Barry is that he only cares about himself.  He proved it when he refused to go to daily briefings, because they conflicted with his campaigning schedule.  It has been documented, that the day before the terrorist attacks on the US Consulate in Libya, that he went to a fund raising event, and refused to get the daily briefing.  Isn't this his job as President to know what is happening in the world that would affect American interest?

As far as "No man left behind", he has contempt for anyone that doesn't agree with him, especially the military.  To him the military is something that is to be used and tossed aside.  The man has no honor.

Obama did NOT lie. He stated what he knew at the time. There's a difference. The only cover up is the Republican congress' refusal to fund increased security for the embassy personnel. What do y'all imagine would be the purpose of Obama lying?

There is no "cover-up." It does not exist. Question: what SHOULD have happened? (I'm trying to figure out how the righties think this attack by anyone, was the president's fault, so help me out here.)  "Cover up?" The most publicized "cover up" in US history, isn't it?

What do you mean a cover-up doesn't exist?  If you lie about something to hide the facts about what happened, that; is a cover-up.  Like pw said, read some real news sources, instead of your liberal drivel.

Us "righties", know that Obammy's administration refused to provide security, which allowed our personnel to be killed.  As Harry Truman said: "The buck stops here" (in the Presidents' Office), since Barry is currently our illustrious leader, he is responsible, and at fault.  The problem is that you lefties, think only "righties" should get blamed, and "lefties" should receive a pass on their mistakes.  That's not the way its done here.

Obviously, that's the way it WAS done. You can in no way blame the president for Benghazi--- unless you want to blame GW for 9-11.

I would be more inclined to blame Bill Clinton for 9/11.  He knew that Osama bin Laden was behind the Cole attack and the first attack on the World Trade Center.  Remember the first attack?  They drove a ton of explosives into the basement with the expressed intention of collapsing one tower into the next and bringing both down.  Clinton also did not use the term "terror attack" but called it a "crime".  Rather than seek out bin Laden and kill him, he chose to fire off a few ineffective cruise missles into the training camps.  Bin Laden was not deterred and his crew kept planning their WTC attack they had dreamed of long before Bush was elected.  So, like Obama, you want to blame Bush for everything?
Obama had veto power on any cuts that you, Mr. Chung, blamed Congress for, besides the fact that he had the majority to do his bidding...remember the health care bill that his party shoved down our throats? 
You might want to start analyzing things and thinking for yourself instead of just accepting that Obama is a nice guy because he can make a nice speech.  He has a peachy keen logo and some trite slogans, but his results as Commander in Chief are dismal.  Odd he doesn't blame Bush for the end of the war in Iraq, which was already timelined before dear leader was elected. He just basks in the accomplishments of others and shifts the blame when he's caught failing.

The Obama Administration knew "real time" what was happening, via their drones.  So why didn't he admit to the situation up front.  So he did lie.  In response to your second comment.  If you really don't know the purpose of Barry lying, your more than naive.

Obviously, that's the way it WAS done. You can in no way blame the president for Benghazi--- unless you want to blame GW for 9-11. 

I'm actually unable to comprehend the fact that you believe that. 
So can you please explain how you  can blame W for 9/11?  His admin.  didn't deny increase in security, and he responded to that attack.  I'm still waiting for your boy Barry to do something.  Should I hold my breath?  Better not, I'll probably turn 90 before, your boy Barry ever admits to his FUBAR.
