THE BHENGAZI SPIN
Oh my what an unexpected coincidence.
Just 642 days after Americas community-organizer-in-chief promised to immediately begin efforts to bring the Benghazi murders to justice Benghazi militia member & self-described embassy traffic guard Amed Abu Khattala was arrested as a possible" organizer of the 2012 attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi Libya.
Following the lead of Attorney General Eric Mr Perjury" Holder I use the term possible because Mr. Khattala will be tried in a normal civilian court" according to the Perjurious One.
And I cant really argue with the conservative media who have raised a chorus of protest against providing
this possible murderer of Chris Stevens and the courageous heroes who tried to rescue him
with all the legal rights of an American citizen accused of a crime.
And those rights among others include: (1) lawyering up; (2) issuing long tirades against American imperialism" in the Middle East & Afghanistan when cross-examined; and (3) enjoying prime views of the downed Twin Towers" from the NY City courthouse where Mr. Khattala is scheduled to go on trial.
Moreover according to Business Insider" Sens. Marco Rubio Ted Cruz John McCain & Lindsey Graham want President Obama to place Khattala in Guantanamo instead in order to gather intelligence from him rather than place him in a U.S.-based military detention center for foreign criminals.
Again I cant argue with these wise politicians who better understand (than I do) the constitutional rights of mere criminals
rather than terrorists (a label that Barack Obama still refuses to use in regard to an al-Qaeda hit man like Mr. Khattala) under the U.S. justice system.
But still when I first read of this arrest" I didnt experience an approving tingle up my spine like Chris Matthews once did.
And of course Mr. Matthews is the recently terminated" victim of a declining viewership for his ratings-deprived MSNBC show an audience which likely in the end consisted only of Chris Matthews Matthews wife and his producer.
No instead some internal warning bells sounded in my cynical mind:
Like Rush Limbaugh I found this sudden capture of this unrepentant frappe-sipping fugitive an amazing timely coincidence" (in Limbaughs words) just when President Obama desperately needs a foreign policy victory".
As the Rushmo further opined: The news media is going berserk ...Isnt it an amazing
timely coincidence here that they have found a militia leader of the Benghazi attack and theyve arrested him? Isnt this
AMAZING timing?"
In fact as Limbaugh also noted Khattala has hardly been in hiding speaking instead to journalists and openly traipsing around Benghazi hotels."
And to verify Rush Limbaughs observations let me just note that yesterday Fox News reported that the U.S. government has been monitoring Khattala
for some (lengthy) time"
but not until this week did they make an arrest.
Now all of a sudden weve got the militia leader" Limbaugh mused. I thought it was just a ragtag bunch of protestors that got all fired up after this
VIDEO (supposedly made by a crank anti-American videographer) hit the Internet."
And of course it was
Ms. Sunday Morning herself
Susan Rice who first advanced the
fabrication that
an obscure anti-Islam VIDEO generated the spontaneous protest" that had gone awry in Benghazi (
a spontaneous mob protest that was accompanied by mortars & grenade-launchers firing on the sparsely-defended embassy).
BAD INTELLIGENCE FOR AMERICAS MOST NOTORIOUS SUNDAY-MORNING PREVARICATOR
But former CIA deputy director Mike Morelli (another Clinton flunky) testified in April that it was Rice who linked the video to the Benghazi attack
NOT the intelligence agency.
According to Moreli
WHEN SHE (SUSAN RICE) TALKED ABOUT THE VIDEO MY REACTION WAS THATS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE ANALYSTS HAVE ATTRIBUTED THIS ATTACK TO."
Further an independent review of more than 4000 social media postings conducted by a leading social media monitoring firm in December 2012 also found that the alleged
YOUTUBE VIDEO was a
NON-EVENT in
BENGHAZI.
Most importantly in his May 2013 congressional testimony before the House oversight committee the video was also described as
A NON EVENT" by Greg Hicks deputy to Ambassador Chris Stevens (who was murdered in the attack).
Yet a week later addressing the United Nations (on Sept. 25 2012) President Obama was still relying on the same video fib.
EXCUSES EXCUSES
There is no speech that justifies mindless violence. There are no words that excuse the killing of innocents. Theres no
VIDEO that justifies an attack on an embassy" Barack Obama asserted.
And while standing before the coffins of Americas fallen both President Obama & Hillary Clinton vowed to the families of the dead heroes
to capture and bring to justice the maker of this nefarious video (
somehow keeping a straight face while they continued to advance this biggest of big lies).
YES IM SUCH A CYNIC WHEN IT COMES TO THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE IM SUSPICIOUS ... VERY SUSPICIOUS
Anyway I agree with Rush Limbaugh that there was very suspicious timing to the capture of Amed Abu Khattala.
For example perhaps it was (1) a timely distraction from the IRS scandal; or (2) from the foreign-policy screw-ups in Iraq & Afghanistan; or (3) from the Veterans Administrations murderous neglect of the health of thousands of Americas military heroes; or (4) perhaps from Eric Holders chronic perjury problems before Congress; or (5) maybe even from Americas unprotected borders with Mexico & the new immigrant crisis this misguided policy has generated; or ... phew Im running out of space just trying to document all of the Obama administrations many recent mistakes.
MY OWN SUSPICIONS
But I have an even better answer:
Is it possible that this sudden Benghazi arrest" coincidentally matched the date of Hillary Clintons recent one-to-one grilling on Fox News Special Report" broadcast?
Or Ms. Clintons disastrous book tour?
Regardless of what the answer is its clear that the prevaricating scoundrels in the Obama White House dont know the meaning of shame!
Nuff said I hope.
