The Benghazi scandal just will not die - for many reasons both obvious and obtuse. Four unavenged, brutally murdered Americans coupled with a ghost edited TV Show Talking Points Memo ensures that this debacle has legs, when our former Navy Seals killed at the CIA Compound most probably now do not. Accordingly, Benghazi demands the attention of the Nation's Commander-in-Chief, if for no other reason than as a second term President, he is focused on his place in history. Few opportunities for new, bold achievements present themselves to lame duck Presidents, so burnishing their First Term record always becomes an increasingly important preoccupation.
In this regard, however, I know precisely what President Obama knows about Benghazi:
*Now, Mr. Obama cannot provide sufficient US military security for our diplomatic stations in Country; four brave Americans are still dead, and they will remain so for the remainder of his term in Office and beyond;
*Now, Mr. Obama cannot send military assets to attempt to prevent the horrendous slaughter of our Nation's diplomatic personnel while they were under attack for more than eight hours. (He does now know that assets were positioned geographically such that they could have reached Benghazi before the attacks ended);
*Now, Mr. Obama cannot forthrightly inform the American public that Islamic terrorists killed our diplomatic personnel and not spontaneous demonstrators out for a nocturnal jaunt carrying their crew serviced mortars in tow;
*Now, Mr. Obama cannot inform the American people that the White House did not dictate the Susan Rice Sunday Talking Points word for word, thereby deceiving all 310 million of us that a video which no one in Benghazi had seen caused the murder of our diplomatic personnel;
So, Barry and I both fully understand that what's Past is Past; it cannot be changed no matter how much we hope to make it so. Accordingly, Barack's only real chance to make Benghazi go away is for the Islamic terrorists to go away - permanently. He told us that he would do it on 9/12/12; he has the Power to do it. Indeed, he has shown time and again he has the Willingness to do it - his Drone ordered anti-terrorist strikes have terminated w/o. mercy hundreds, if not many more.
So, the identities of the terror groups responsible for the Benghazi slaughter have been known since days, if not hours, of the attack's occurrence. No mystery there. Yet, straining credulity beyond the breaking point, Mr. Claire Shipman declares that since it took many years to get Osama Bin Laden, Americans must understand that the President 20 months after the attack cannot be faulted for not even naming any of the Benghazi terrorists to be brought to justice.
Now, I consider myself somewhat of an astute observer of political leadership decision making. Nonetheless, the current Obama paralysis in "pursuit" of even political closer on Benghazi leaves me as perplexed as I have ever been in my Life. Afer all, this Guy's a Natural-Born-Killer, e.g. when an intrepid reporter asked his first Press Aid about the morality/legality of launching a drone strike on a vehicle with the target and his innocent 16 year old son inside - both were vaporized - this Obama insider quipped: "He was foolish in who he picked to be his Father". I paraphrase for style only, not substance.
So, America, I am honestly and forthrightly asking what in the world is stopping our Nation's Droner-in-Chief from just pulling the trigger in Benghazi? Could it possibly be that he has a soft spot in his cold stone heart for casual demonstrators out for their nightly stroll with their crew serviced mortars?
OH HELL; WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE ANYWAY; LET'S JUST MOVE ON AS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE NOW OR IN THE PAST
