I wonder if our UN ambassador Susan Rice will now resign after being told to go on five talk shows last Sunday and make a fool of herself. Team Obama sure hung her out to dry. The cause of last week’s murderous Benghazi consulate attack has again revealed how ineffective and feckless this administration is in doing its constitutionally mandated job.
After three days of ridicule, compounded by interviews and hearings, the administration today casually flipped and said it was “self-evident that it was a terrorist attack”. I mused that it might have been a spontaneous outpouring of rage from Benghazi residents after getting word from Cairo about the denigrating video – see ‘Blazing skirt hits airwaves’. But it was hard to pull together the part about all the RPG launchers and machine guns in the picnic baskets.
So the evidence now comes pouring in that this was a carefully planned attack by al Qaeda terrorists in Libya to coincide with the 9/11 anniversary. And that Obama was just absolutely off-base and out of touch when he lit into Romney saying what the world already knew about that incident. And even today Obama continued stonewalling on the Latino Univision interview about how pissed the Muslims really were about that video. Moreover, in her wisdom Hillary ran an apology ad on Pakistani TV today to apologize for the video, distance the administration from it, but mainly to draw more attention to the anti-Muslim video and hope that the demonstrations continue.
But it all makes sense again and Occam will rest in peace when we consider the objectives of obamunism. No matter that the attack was terrorism carried out by a resurgent al Qaeda that was supposed to by now be on its butt, the important thing is to keep the demonstrations going about the video. The sheeple will quickly forget the instigating events and focus on the evening news of Islam in riot about the video. Should things slow down a little prematurely, Hillary will run a couple more apology ads in Muslim countries, and the Big O will go on another TV interview and point out all those millions hating the US, not because of anything that he did(n’t) do, but because of that damn video. The lamestream will, of course, fall in line and we’re off in a new misdirection with a significant flock of sheeple in tow. Sweet.
[29sep12 update] The Obama administration is now in complete disarray as to what it is putting out from all corners of its mouth (here). Today one part of it finally admits that the Benghazi assault was an organized terrorist attack, planned before the video riots, by an al Qaeda (in the Maghreb) unit that is doing quite well in large swaths of Africa. This gives lie to the claim that al Qaeda is on the run.
At the same time, the big O himself is still bamboozling along with his number one blazing skirt (Rice is number two) claiming the information is still “evolving”. All this while the FBI’s forensic team assigned to investigate the attack has yet to set its foot in Libya for reasons cited as the country being ‘too dangerous’. What happened to our ability to fly the FBI in with a Seal team for security. Time is of essence since much of forensic evidence if frangible. If they wait too much longer, we’ll be reduced to investigating the incident from perusal of history books. But that again may be part of the playbook of an administration that does not want to find much of anything in that consulate compound.
In any case, we should never forget that the whole world knew within 24 hours that his was a very successful planned terrorist attack that our administration has been trying to dissemble since it happened. Only Romney had the guts to call a spade a spade, and let the international community know that America was not filled with naifs.
