Libya Won't Go Away!


We told you we're not leaving Libya alone until the complete truth comes out.   Something isn't right. Our President and his staff blamed a video for two weeks.  Then suddenly after we find out about the "real video", that is the one taken in Benghazi do we start hearing "it's a terrorist" attack.

I am not going to comment on the President's "Optimal" comment.  You read Nancy's blog post and decide for  yourself.  

Obama talks Benghazi on Comedy Central


Things don't always come out right.  Mitt knows that.  He can use the President's words if he wants.

But here's the most serious stuff to date.  Read the entire article by following the link at the end.  I am just floored that our President claims he knew nothing.  I guess deny, deny, deny and hope people forget.  Except we're not forgetting...

Obama Knew Terrorists Ran Benghazi, Hired Local Security Anyway


Today, the Libyan government announced that it had discovered the identity of the terrorist behind the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, resulting in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. According to a senior Libyan official, the FBI has seen a cellphone picture of the mastermind: Ahmed Abu Khattala, leader of the Abu Obeida brigade. That brigade was an element of the rebel forces allied against then-dictator Muammar Qaddafi.



Back in July 2011, Abu Obeida was responsible for the murder of Gen. Abdul Fatah Younis, Qaddafi’s former interior minister who had joined up with the rebellion. The group was headquartered in Benghazi.


Here’s where the story becomes shocking: as early as July 2011, the media was reporting that Abu Obeida was responsible for all security in Benghazi. On July 31, 2011, the Sunday Telegraph (UK) reported:



So secretive is the brigade - said to be one of at least 30 semi-independent militias operating in the east of the country - that until yesterday few in the rebel capital had heard of it.


The fact that it takes its name from one of the Prophet Mohammed's most successful military commanders is an indication of its Islamist bent, observers say. Unlike the other militias, the Brigade seems to exercise considerable power within the rebel movement. Since Gen Younes's death, it has emerged that the group was in charge of internal security in Benghazi, essentially operating as a secret police force.



You read that correctly. In July 2011, more than a year before the murder of our ambassador by Abu Obeida in Benghazi, Libya, the press reported that Abu Obeida was “in charge of internal security in Benghazi, essentially operating as a secret police force.”

And yet the Obama administration chose not only to turn down repeated requests for additional security from diplomatic posts in Libya, it recruited security for our ambassador from the local Benghazi population.
