I’m sure we all remember quite well how it was that Barry, along with then secretary of state Hitlery Clinton as well as then U.N. ambassador, Susan Rice were all quite willing to tell us all, ad nauseam, about how it was that the terrorist attack that occurred on Sept 11, 2012, was all because of some YouTube video that was slamming Islam. Barry even went before the U.N. General Assembly and proceeded to spew the same idiotic bullshit, that he knew was bullshit. And it was a lie that this group refused to let go of for weeks after the attack.
But according to declassified testimony obtained by Fox News, we now know that Barry was informed in his earliest briefing about the Sept. 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that the event was, in fact, a terrorist attack, and not some anti-American demonstration gone awry, as the administration told the public in the days and weeks following the event that resulted in the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens along with three other Americans. You know, the same deaths, that seemed to matter so little to Hitlery Clinton.
And it’s according to transcripts that we also find out that that old "Slick Willie" Clinton retread, Leon Panetta, then-Defense Secretary, and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told lawmakers on the House Armed Services Committee which is still conducting the Benghazi investigation, that they briefed Barry directly, as the event was actually unfolding, that the incident was a terrorist attack. Panetta said in testimony that it was he who informed Barry that "there was an apparent attack going on in Benghazi."
When asked further by Sen. Jim Inhofe, Republican, whether Panetta believed "unequivocally" at the time that it was a terrorist attack, Panetta said, "There was no question in my mind that this was a terrorist attack." Other defense officials involved in the earliest briefings of the incident also reported the incident was an attack, including Gen. Carter Ham, then-head of AFRICOM who broke the news to Panetta, and Marine Corps Col. George Bristol, commander of AFRICOM's Joint Special Operations Task Force for the Trans Sahara region, the testimony shows.
The transcripts underscore that in the earliest hours of the attack, every Pentagon and defense official who briefed the White House referred to the incident as a terrorist attack. The testimony reinforces ongoing questions about how and why the White House developed a public narrative that the event was an assault that grew spontaneously out of a demonstration over an anti-Islam video produced in America. The Armed Services subcommittee has conducted nine classified sessions on the Benghazi attacks, according to Fox.
Personally, I’m just not sure how much of this even matters anymore to most Americans. After all, it’s been a year and a half since the attack took place, and this, which was supposed to be the most transparent in history, administration has expended a great deal of effort to keep the truth from ever seeing the light of day. From the very beginning this was a matter that should have been immediately handed over to a special prosecutor who would have been much better equipped to get to the bottom of things. It’s sad really that four Americans were allowed to be butchered while the perpetrators remain free and very much alive.
