    Obama's Benghazi Disaster Proves the Media's Failure

    Obama's Benghazi Disaster Proves the Media's Failure

    By Onan Coca / 9 December 2013


    “September 11th has been a day of remembrance for 12 years for Americans and others around the world. The events of last year, losing four brave Americans – Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods – brought home the reality of the challenges we face in the world. As we near this day of remembrance, we continue to mourn the death of our cherished colleagues and honor their dedication to public service. We remain committed to bringing the perpetrators of the Benghazi attacks to justice and to ensuring the safety of our brave personnel serving overseas.” – Statement by the Obama Administration 9/10/2013
    President Obama and his people have been making promises like this for the last year, and we still have NOTHING to show for the terrible crimes committed by Al-Qaeda in Benghazi over a year ago. Republicans in Congress are getting tired of playing this waiting game with the administration and a little over a month ago, up and coming GOP star Trey Gowdy (R-SC), called on the media to lend their support to the investigation.



    “No one has been arrested, no one has been prosecuted, no one has been brought to justice. We don’t even have access to the witnesses!”
    Representative Gowdy then went on to press the media why some major questions are still unanswered. Questions that should be at the forefront of everyone’s mind.


    1. Why was ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi?
    2. Why were we the last flag flying in Benghazi, after the British had left and the Red Cross had been bombed?
    3. Why were requests for additional security denied?
    4. Why were no assets deployed during the siege?
    5. Do you know whether the president called our allies to request help?
    6. Why was Susan Rice picked to go on the Sunday talk shows?
    7. Do you know where the “mythology” that the attack was spawned by a video comes from? This was the official position of the administration.

    “In conclusion – Congress is supposed to provide oversight, the voters are supposed to provide oversight and you are supposed to provide oversight. That’s why you have special liberties and that’s why you have special protections. I am not surprised the President called this a phony scandal, I’m not surprised that Secretary Clinton asked “what difference does it make?” I’m not even surprised that Jay Carney said “Benghazi happened a long time ago.” I’m just surprised at how many people bought it.”

    Does the media care? Rep. Gowdy’s short speech tells me one thing. If these questions go unanswered, then the media has truly failed us. Our journalists are supposed to find answers to questions just like these, and if they’ve remained unanswered but the media has bought the White House narrative, what does that say about our media? They have accepted the White House story even though these questions should present glaring problems to that story.
    The biggest disappointment of the Obama era has been the abject failure of the media to be a watchdog for the people. They’ve traded truth for comfort and ease in the Obama White House.
    But, we the people... we'll never forget.

    Watch What Happens When a Democratic Rep. Decides She Doesn’t Want to Answer Questions About Benghazi


    Dec. 9, 2013 3:51pm Becket Adams

    UPDATE — In response to multiple outlets reporting the New Hampshire Congresswoman’s refusal to address Benghazi, her office released the following statement:
    Like all Americans, I was horrified by the tragic attack on our Embassy in Benghazi that killed four patriotic Americans. Our focus must remain on finding those responsible, bringing them to justice, and taking every necessary step to prevent an attack like this from ever happening again.

    Rep. Ann Kuster (D-N.H.) at a town hall meeting refused to answers questions about last year’s deadly terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.
    The New Hampshire representative appeared to try to dodge the question by saying Benghazi isn’t in the Middle East, and therefore not pertinent to the discussion at hand.
    “I’m certainly not here to talk about it, we’re here to talk about the Middle East,” Kuster said in response to an attendee’s written question.
    Libya is located in north Africa. Differing definitions place it either inside or outside the Middle East.
    Regardless, the crowd clearly was not satisfied with Kuster’s answer.
    Her comment was prompted by a written letter asking for her thoughts on a bill sponsored by Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) calling for Congress to form a select committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks.
    “I don’t have … it’s a Senate thing — I don’t think we have anything about that in the House,” she said, perhaps not realizing Wolf’s bill is indeed a House bill.
    She eventually became silent and stood there as the crowd became more unsatisfied with her answers. An event staffer had to come to her rescue and redirect the meeting.
    “There are a lot of different ideas and a lot of different opinions here,” he said. “So, we’re going to stick to the format of answering questions [on the postcards] rather than get into a discussion that goes on.”

    Congresswoman Ann Kuster (D-NH) dodges a question about the Benghazi scandal and gets bailed out by moderator. Exit stage left.


    "The Eisenhower Doctrine, a 1957 foreign policy of the United States government, was the first to officially use the term Middle East.[9] Secretary of State John Foster Dulles defined the Middle East as "the area lying between and including Libya on the west and Pakistan on the east, Syria and Iraq on the North and the Arabian peninsula to the south, plus the Sudan and Ethiopia.








    The town hall took place on Nov. 25 in Manchester, N.H., and hosted by the Jewish Federation of New Hampshire.

    Footage from the event only recently surfaced online.
    The National Republican Congressional Committee, which is responsible for the video’s circulation, said Kuster’s refusal to answer is inexcusable.
    “Let’s be clear — Annie Kuster is a United States congresswoman,” a spokesman told the Examiner. “Four Americans died as a result of the attacks in Benghazi. For her not to even address a voter’s questions about what the United States government is doing to get answers on those terrorist attacks makes her unqualified for the office which she holds.”
    A spokesperson for Kuster’s office did not respond to TheBlaze’s request for more details.

    Congratulations Barack and Hillary...

    Today's prize is your turban and burka!



    By Maureen Scott

    The terrorist actions and murder of four Americans in Libya; the attacks on our embassies and people in Cairo and Yemeni , and the alarming unrest spiraling throughout the Middle East now is not just in retaliation to some obscure, little film that Islamists found offensive. That pretext is just a cover. It has been advanced to get empathy for Islam from the bleeding heart Liberals. It is a convenient myth that the Muslim Extremists want the world to believe — and our complicit Liberal media has promoted that propaganda; adopted that rhetoric in order to divert attention away from this administration's failed Middle East policies.

    It is obvious that these attacks have been formulated and planned for a long time, and to coincide with our day of mourning for the 9/11 attacks . Any fool knows they didn't just bloom overnight. The ignorance of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and their ineffective decisions, supported by Progressive idealists in this Administration, have paved the way for America to be inexcusably hoodwinked by people who will never forget their hatred for America. Our country has endured another tragic loss of innocent lives at the hand of vultures who have sat waiting in their vermin filled desert nests, anxious to pounce on the helpless at the first opportune moment. All was being planned and coordinated while Obama has been skipping out on almost half of the meetings of his Intelligence staff and winging his way from coast to satisfy his insatiable appetite for adoration.

    Americans can recall all too well, and to our skepticism, that it was Clinton and Obama, who praised the "Arab Spring." Now that spring planting has produced this autumn's Harvest of Hate. This Administration has either been unbelievably naive, or purposely deceitful enough (depending on whether you think they were stupid or cunning) to try and convince us that if we supported the overturn of various governments in the Middle East over the past few years, that the U.S. backed leaders/governments, who conveniently pretended to be pro-America, would bring peace and a form of democratic rule to the area, terrorism would end, and we would all play "Patty Cake" in the sandbox. Instead, the Obama Administration, in its rush to declare the end of the War on Terror has weakened our nation, and left our people serving in these unfriendly territories, unprotected, unaware, vulnerable, and dead!

    What Obama and Clinton ignored is the ugly truth that no terrorist nation is going to deter the extremist attitude, and no leader of those nations is going to oppose this powerful faction of fanatics in his own county. The zealous loathing they have for any whom they consider to be an Infidel has been simmering for centuries. It is even more potent today, producing new batches of poisoned, hate filled followers who are weaned on that brew. In counties where this hatred is manifested daily their leaders might, outwardly, feign opposition to terrorism (while they anxiously fill their coffers with the money our government doles out to them) — but within their realm, behind the sand dunes, they allow it to flourish and fester.

    These deceitful leaders — Mohammed Maqrif of Libya, Mohamed Morsi of Egypt, and Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi in Yemen among others, know, and have probably been part of that anti-American sentiment which is a fact of life in their countries. And much like our own politicians here who try to play both sides of the field, they are not willing to strongly discourage those who have put them in power, either there or supporters they have in Washington. They know, espouse, and, most likely in private, condone the animosity toward America, yet are not prepared to direct an official military action against us (at the moment).

    However, they are also shrewd enough to know that if attacks aimed at Americas take place on their soil, but are not conducted by their government or the military then they cannot be considered "Acts of War." This allows these rulers to publicly state that they do not sanction the violence, while they do little to stop it. At the same time they can feel secure that their country will not be attacked by our armed forces because handfuls of dissidents have gone on an unsanctioned killing spree. Effective strategy.

    And very effectively, as far as military retaliation is concerned, this has put our government between the "rock and hard place." We cannot go on a military offensive against a non-military general population that appears to be instigated by unruly mobs, or factions of discontents wildly committing atrocities against Americans in foreign countries even if they in the confines of "Embassy land." As long as the acts of violence and terrorism are not openly backed, planned, or initiated by governing entities, only the country's own leaders can initiate restraining and deterring force against them. So in these volatile areas the leaders accept that plans for Jihad will always continue, and even be carried out, while they offer veiled apologies and words of regret for the tragic losses of American lives.

    What this says is...no matter how much honey they use to sweeten their words, one thing is certain...they still hate us and will lie through their smaghs to fool us!

    With all his soft-speak, bowing and kowtowing, Obama has not made a positive impact on the hearts and souls of the Jihadists. He has not convinced any of them to accept his unrealistic illusion that we can all live in a euphoric happy place where everyone is equally prosperous, content, and in harmony. His view of the situation is as much a fantasy as a desert mirage. Instead he has shown how weak and easily deceived our government can be. These people have bamboozled our government into a false sense of security and trust. They have thrown sand in our face again, and they will continue with their plans to destroy America...all while hiding behind a veil of platitudes and fictitious friendship.

    How soon will it be before this Administration realizes that the radical Islamists have used our gullibility and ideological pipe dreams, and our adherence to the rules of military engagement, against us? How many more will be harmed, molested, dragged, beaten and murdered while we are caught in a strangle-hold that makes us unable to dispel this ever threatening danger? And worse...how many times will this Administration apologize for America rather than defend her?

    Compounding the atrocities we have our pathetic Liberal media, which rather than denounce the milquetoast actions of our current Administration, foolishly supports the ideas that when it comes to deterring terrorists we would be more effective if we just "talk to them," throw money at them, coddle and give them a warm fuzzy feeling. The feeble-minded press continues to blame some obscure little film as the impetus for the coldblooded, brutal murders and attacks. Because, to admit what has really happened — to tell the truth about how our current policies have failed, and even encouraged the brazen attacks — would require the media to cast a negative light on and tarnish their golden boy, Obama, and Hillary for their roles in the frightening events unfolding daily the Middle East.

    And that truth is something today's controlled and censored American media can never admit or promote as long as the socialistic, progressive idealists with pro-Muslim terrorist sympathies are Washington. Obama and Hillary should just as well be wearing turbans and burkas the next time they appear in public. They have earned them.
