I am not on the left. GOP and Dems are both corrupt parties owned by the elite and support the NWO. I don't support either of the 2 major parties, I am against both.
I heard it directly from the president that it was an act of terror, he was on TV saying it....they were trying to figure out the "WHY" part of it...
Republicans are also to blame for Benghazi.
Qaddafi in the first place, many of us did not support it and Obama might have gave in to pressure from the anti-war activists if the Republicans weren't also pressuring him to intervene

For months this has been portrayed as a non-story by the left.
Now that the truth comes out, the left is saying, "yeah, but it's the republicans fault too, ya know!"

In the meantime, I ask you to think about this: With the weapons that were brought to bear on our interests, why did the "firefight" last seven hours when they could have leveled that building in 45 minutes...?
Shortly after the October 2011 death of Qaddafi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced in Tripoli that the U.S. was committing $40 million to help Libya “secure and recover its weapons stockpiles.” Department of State Assistant Secretary Andrew Shapiro confirms DOS had a weapons buy-back program in Libya that was also supported by the UK who gave $1.5 million, the Netherlands gave $1.2 million, Germany gave about $1 million and our neighbor to the north, Canada gave $1.6 million to purchase the deadly arsenal that went missing after the fall of Qaddafi.
The State Department was specifically looking to acquire the 20,000 MANPADS (they are commonly known as man-portable air shoulder-fire missiles) that went missing once Qaddafi was killed.

He did?
I know you can show us right?
All I remember hearing "directly from the president" was that a video caused a protest.
He never said anything about a terrorist attack.
But, at this point, we do know that Obama and others in the administration were quick to cite the anti-Muslim video as the underlying cause for the attack in Benghazi that killed four U.S. diplomats, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. And they were slow to acknowledge it was a premeditated terrorist attack, and they downplayed reports that it might have been.
There were no protesters at the Benghazi consulate prior to the attack, even though Obama and others repeatedly said the attackers joined an angry mob that had formed in opposition to the anti-Muslim film that had triggered protests in Egypt and elsewhere. The State Department disclosed this fact Oct. 9 — nearly a month after the attack.
Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, was the first administration official to call it “a terrorist attack” during a Sept. 19 congressional hearing. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did the same on Sept. 20. Even so, Obama declined opportunities to call it a terrorist attack when asked at a town hall meeting on Sept. 20 and during a taping of “The View” on Sept. 24.
About 10:00 p.m.: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issues a statement confirming that one State official was killed in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Her statement, which MSNBC posted at 10:32 p.m., made reference to the anti-Muslim video.
Clinton: Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.
Clinton delivers a speech at the State Department to condemn the attack in Benghazi and to praise the victims as “heroes.” She again makes reference to the anti-Muslim video in similar language.
Clinton: Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear — there is no justification for this, none
Sept. 18: Obama Says ‘Extremists’ Used Video As ‘Excuse’
Sept. 18: Obama was asked about the Benghazi attack on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” The president said, “Here’s what happened,” and began discussing the impact of the anti-Muslim video. He then said, “Extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse to attack a variety of our embassies, including the consulate in Libya.” He also said, “As offensive as this video was and, obviously, we’ve denounced it and the United States government had nothing to do with it. That’s never an excuse for violence.”
(AP) ISLAMABAD - Marked by the U.S. Embassy seal, advertisements condemning an anti-Islam video appeared on Pakistani television on Thursday in an apparent attempt to undercut anger against the United States, where the film was produced. Hundreds of youths, however, clashed with security officials as they tried in vain to reach the embassy in Islamabad amid anger in many countries over the film's vulgar depiction of the Prophet Muhammad.
The advertisements appear to be an effort by the U.S. government to dampen chaos surrounding the film and undo some of the damage to America's image in the Muslim world. Violence linked to the movie has left at least 30 people in seven countries dead, including the American ambassador to Libya. Two people have died in protests in Pakistan.
Anti-film ads in Pakistan feature Obama, Clinton

If this is true, which it appears to be then Obama is guilty of treason under Article III, Section III of the Constitution by ordering the stand down of American forces that could have intervened. Thereby, Aiding the enemy. We have our needed two witnesses in the OPs article.
Once again, we see first hand this governments iron fist clamping down on American citizens, obscenely robbing us of personal liberty and freedom in the name of domestic terrorism while little to nothing is done about actual and real terrorism. Except when we fund and arm them of course, such as in Egypt and Syria.
Illegitimate and rogue administration and federal government. What more proof is needed that has not been presented already? This is twisted and sick, it's a month old rotting corpse under your bed, it's festering and profane and worst of all, it's unbecoming of America.edit on 14-1-2014 by Helious because: (no reason given)
