The Benghazi scandal has finally evolved from a “neo-conservative” obsession into a full-blown fiasco … many months (and one presidential election) after the fact. But will U.S. President Barack Obama’s failure to stop the September 11, 2012 attack on our diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya – and the ensuing coverup surrounding the attack – do real damage to his administration?
It’s possible …
“Three decades ago, a scandal like this would have been the end of an administration,” we wrote last October. “Think about it: Four Americans (including a U.S. Ambassador) were murdered by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya as an American President watched in a secure room halfway around the world – refusing to provide help.”
Not only that, it’s painfully evident that the Obama administration undertook a deliberate effort after the fact to deceive the American people – as well as Congress – about the true nature of the attack. All of this has been widely known for months, but this scandal never “took.” Why? Because the Obama-loving press simply refused to dive into it prior to the election … or after the election, for that matter.
“For a long time, it seemed like the idea of a coverup was just a Republican obsession,” wrote The New Yorker‘s Alex Koppleman. “But now there is something to it.”
Actually there’s always been “something to it,” the press just wasn’t looking. Or they weren’t wiling to fully expose what they found.
That changed this week …
Benghazi is now back on the radar in a big way, dominating the national discussion and putting the Obama administration squarely on the defensive. At issue? Not just the controversial ‘stand down’ order, but inaccurate information disseminated to the public in the wake of the attack. Specifically, it now appears there was an extensive, calculated effort on the part of the U.S. State Department – and possibly the White House – to trick the public into thinking the attack was the spontaneous outgrowth of protests in Libya as opposed to a premeditated terrorist attack.
On Friday, an exclusive ABC News report revealed that the White House flat out lied about the role the State Department played in editing “talking points” that were used by the administration in the aftermath of the attack.
“White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department,” the network reported. “The edits included requests from the State Department that references to the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack.”
This directly contradicts what the White House said about the talking points last November.
“The White House and the State Department have made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of those two institutions were changing the word ‘consulate’ to ‘diplomatic facility’ because ‘consulate’ was inaccurate,” Carney said at the time.
Astoundingly, Carney is still standing by that statement.
Meanwhile U.S. Speaker John Boehner is demanding that the White House release its own Benghazi emails, which he claims will prove that Obama had a political motivation for altering the Benghazi talking points.
Earlier in the week, during testimony before the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform committee, three State Department officials revealed additional evidence of a coverup. One even went so far as to say he was told not to discuss the incident with U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who flew to Tripoli in the aftermath of the attack to investigate.
“So the people at State told you don’t talk to the guy who is coming to investigate?” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) asked one of the officials.
“Yes sir,” he replied.
Wow …
Gross dereliction of duty. Fabricated misinformation. Suppression of legitimate intelligence. Obstruction of justice … Benghazi has it all. And in each case, the scandal appears to go all the way to the top.
So why did it take so long for Benghazi to “hit?” That’s a good question … one which America’s mainstream media has yet to answer.
And speaking more broadly, amid the battle over “stand down” orders and secret emails focused on answering the eternal “who knew what, when?” question … where is the much more relevant debate over the efficacy of America’s perpetual engagement in these “regime change” situations?
After all as we’ve noted on numerous previous occasions, it’s impossible to get “killed someplace you ain’t …”

The shame in the Far Right’s obsession with this tragedy is the effect on the families of the victims. This entire process is being instrumented as a ruse to attempt to shame Hillary Clinton and our President. Our Republican Congressmen spend their days trying to Bamboozle Obama instead of doing what they are paid for by representing their constituents. See what kind of job they’ve done applying the blackface to the POTUS at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/10/bamboozling-obama.html Their hands are sticking to this tar baby as the public is becoming increasing impatient with the nonsense and waste of taxpayer money.
That’s crazy. Easy to see they hid the facts so he would be re-elected. I don’t see it as all that bad but I don’t think it’s nothing. We all get cheated by both sides of politics. They are all owned by someone. Bobby Brown has been let off easy. He was released Wednesday after serving nine hours for his 3rd driving under the influence charge.L.A. County sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore told the media that Brown was released early due to jail overcrowding and good behavior. http://zautos.com/bobby-brown-serves-nine-hours-in-jail-for-third-dui/
To me this says we don’t care if you know it. We will do what we want to do.
The left would never use a tragedy to advance a political agenda, now would they? (Aurora, Sandy Hook, Boston bombing, Sikh Temple)

4,487 Americans killed in Iraq—32,226 Americans wounded in Iraq—1,033,000 people killed in Iraq—26 Americans killed in Newtown…….where is the outrage? Where are the hearings? They’re only hope for keeping HC out of the White House is to keep Benghazi going. They can keep pulling it out of their ass until the next election,but if she runs,she will win.The Republicans have let the Tea Party destroy them and going by the the new Cogressman from SC,they learned nothing from the last election. All of the Benghazi chest beaters should go into a VA hospital and use their time helping all of those wonderful young men and women trying to put their lives back together with no arms and legs.
Tea Partiers are starting to call Fox News “left” now. I guess their spin can’t keep up with the crazy anymore.
Didn’t;’t your Piece of $@!* president TARGET those groups because they were not American-Haters, like you and him…
You Filthy B@&*ard …using the government to go after Americans..
You must be a fan of Hitler, the Nazi party and USSR Communism…

Well, well…look how Rand Paul voted! He is just as responsible for Bengahzi
https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/117285/rand-paul#.UY_gKcu9KSN
So now you’re trying to say Rand Paul Ignored the tortured pleas of the Ambassador Obama sent to Libya????…I guess blaming Bush, didn’t work out for ya…
You people have gone from ridiculous to PATHETIC…The country is falling apart, Obama has been in control for 5 years…yet he has responsibility for nothing…
Must be nice being a liberal, except for the ignorance, dishonesty and corruption…
Guess you have a hard time reading…
No, maybe you should WRITE something of substance…instead of offering some cryptic ruse.
Liberals usually beat around the “Bush” when the facts kick them in the @$$…
why don’t you crawl back under the lizard you descended from and learn some manners……we all know it’s you, Big T. Your ignorance is appalling.
Funny How Obama has claimed VICTORY for himself in Iraq. It is THE ONLY Victory he has had, other than Disasters he has established (like ObamaCare and his fraud-aided re-election.)
Anyway..Congress voted to follow-up on all the threats Clinton and the UN made. And it was after 9-11.
We freed a country, so that maybe we can expect democracy to spread there.
Look at Iran, that CARTER gave us. and the US-Centric Iraq, Bush gave us.
Thousands and thousands of lives were saved.
And look at Obama’s Egypt. He gave us deaths upon deaths by implementing his Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama incubated a horrible Disease that another Responsible president will have to Deal w/ like Bush dealt w/ Iraq.
Bush, Cheney, and Halliburton raped America in the Iraq War. Unnecessary war, no WMD, lies, and hundreds of billions of dollars in profits for Dick Cheney’s former employer on a no bid contract. Connect the dots.
Hey: Bush left town FIVE years ago…Cheney too…you missed your chance…
And Guess what: It’s YOUR turn now…and you Actually DID it…not just stupid and baseless accusations…
Obama has an Enemies list, and he was using it to go after political opponents. Way past Nixonian…WOW!!!!
Go to Drudge: it’s getting GOOD….
You are the one discussing the Iraq War. I simply pointed out the facts. America was screwed by Bush, Cheney and Halliburton, and that will be the Iraq War legacy.
Yep…I share your outrage…billy boy Clinton was too busy chasing interns and selling our ballistic missile secrets to the chicoms to protect Americans from al qaeda…9/11 was completely preventable…I blame clinton
who blew opportunities to nab Laden…if Clinton had done is job…there would not have been a 9/11…and no Iraq war…
Don’t fucking forget: IRAQ didn’t have shit to do with 911!!! Idiot!
Really…dum dum? So we would have gone to war with Saddam had 9/11 never occurred? Please cite your sources.
Saddam didn’t attack us and there was no WMDs.
Dum Dum!
9/11 happened on Bush’s watch. If anyone is to blame its Bush.
The Iraq War was going to happen the day Bush was elected. Haliburton and Cheney had this planned from day one. Hundreds of billions of dollars in War profits for Dick Cheney’s employer.
The 1 million Iraqi death number is George soros propaganda…no one really knows the exact number of deaths but the 1 million figure has been widely discredited…pure propaganda…
Well you Republicans are “outraged” by four deaths at Benghazi.So tell us bo,how many have to die in Iraq to make you feel similar “outrage?”(NOTE:Not that I believe you Republicans are “outraged” at all about Bengazi.As you say” pure propaganda.”)
Are you aware of any documented instance where the Bush Administration knowingly allowed an ambassador to be tortured and die…while refusing to save him?
Please cite references for your numbers regarding Iraqi deaths. Thanks.

Barry’s whereabouts for 6 hours are unknown, and no one knows where he was or what he was doing. That is a BIG question that needs to be answered.
maybe he was pooping, showering, and getting his hair done like the rest of us for those 6 hours ??? !!! can’t a man takes care of his personal needs???
He was doing a 3way with Hillary and the First Bitch.
Maybe he was visiting a bath house?

Maybe Obama should refit and send a battleship to Libya. That laughable show seemed to satisfy the conservatives when Ronnie Reagan let a couple hundred sleeping Marines get blown up in Lebanon.
Please cite evidence that President Reagan knew that the marines were about to be bombed,that President Reagan was able to prevent the bombing, but that Ronnie instead chose to go to sleep and repeatedly ignored pleas for assistance whilst the Amercans perished over a protracted period of time…Thanks..
How much evidence do you need. You put 200 marines into the middle of a war zone, where people have been using car and truck bombs for years and fail to provide adequate security against car and truck bombs. Seems like negligence to me.

The problem with Benghazi is the President did not have time to mess with it. The only way they could have gotten military help was for the President to give the order. He was either asleep or preping for his Vegas Campaign Speech or was asleep and they did not want to bother him..America will never overcome this farce in the White House and the MSM is as responsible for his cover ups as any one.

Ridiculous GOP Political Grand Standing!!!!
Bush had 54 Embassy attacks, with 18 people killed.
He only had 3 Congressional inquires on these disasters: none serious.
Obama has 1 Embassy attack, with 4 people killed and the GOP wants to Impeach him.
GOP should just kiss off, shut up, and pass some GD legislation.
WHICH IS YOUR JOB!!!
They’re all a bunch lying bumbling idiots, it just so happens that these lying bumbling idiots got caught red handed.

Had we minded our own damn business and not intervened in Libya to begin with, this attack would never have occurred. The very people who attacked us were the same rebels our media referred to as freedom fighters. This Benghazi saga should be an indictment of the foreign policy practiced by BOTH Republicans and Democrats. Our intervention into the internal politics of foreign nations is the very motivation for these types of attacks. Instead of focusing on changing our foreign policy and the excess militarism of the American Empire, we must listen to mind-numbingly ignorant back and forths from political establishment pundits. which completely ignore the very solution to the problem at hand.
