GAME, SET, MATCH
There’s a wise old adage that says: “Always tell the truth – it’s much more easy to memorize.” Obviously, Barack Hussein Obama and his Regime didn’t get the memo. Reuters is reporting – after obtaining copies of official government emails – that the Regime and the State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack. Game, set, match, O; thanks for playing.
The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group Ansar al-Sharia immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack to Washington - even as it was still under way.
The first email, timed at 4:05 p.m. Washington time – 10:05 p.m. Benghazi time – was sent 20-30 minutes after the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission began. It carried the subject line “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack” and the notation “SBU”, meaning “Sensitive But Unclassified.”
The text said the State Department’s regional security office had reported that the diplomatic mission in Benghazi was “under attack. Embassy in Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well.”
A second email, headed “Update 1: U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi” and timed 4:54 p.m. Washington time, said the Embassy in Tripoli had reported that “the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi had stopped and the compound had been cleared.” It said a “response team” (of Libyans) was at the site attempting to locate missing personnel.
A third email, also marked SBU and sent at 6:07 p.m. Washington time, carried the subject line: “Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack.”
The message reported: “Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli.”
In an appearance on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, five weeks after the attack, O vigorously defended his handling of the tragedy and the subsequent fallout.
Someone is lying. As is always the best course when trying to determine who is lying – when two or more parties tell completely different stories – it’s wise to consider who has the most to gain – or lose – by lying. Let’s give that a shot:
Reuters, a left-leaning news organization that is frequently criticized by the right for everything from biased reporting to releasing offensive photos of conservatives (young boys staring up at Sarah Palin’s legs and the recent misleading image of a school girl appearing to stare at Mitt Romney’s butt, for example), broke the story. What does Reuters stand to gain by doing so? Credibility an a competitive edge on its competition. What does it have to lose? Its relationship with the Regime.
So, what does Barack Hussein Obama have to gain by misleading the public on the attack? By calling it “spontaneous” and the result of the now-infamous “anti-Islamic” video? This one’s easy: O desperately wanted to continue the whole foreign policy charade. He had said: “The war on terror is over.” He had told us “al Qaeda is in retreat.” He has continued his perpetual “I Killed Osama Bin Laden Victory Tour” for a year and a half. He wanted us to believe he was the foreign policy guru that he told us he would be during the 2008 campaign.
What did he have to lose by telling the truth? Everything. Especially after the inconsistencies began to pile up.
Barack Obama has consistently obfuscated and misled the public from the immediate aftermath of the attack. He claimed – falsely – in the second debate that he referred to the attack as “terrorist” in his Rose Garden comments the day after it occurred. (He did not.) Then, he went on The View, David Letterman and Univision – and refused to call it a terrorist attack – even when asked to do so. How can he have it both ways?
He trotted out his UN Ambassador – five days after the attack – to appear on five Sunday morning talk shows and staunchly claim that the attack was “spontaneous” and the result of a 15-minute YouTube video that no one had every seen.
O stood before the General Assembly of the United Nations and referenced the video six times, while referring to “terrorism” – in general – only once. And last week, he showed up on The Daily Show and said this:
“Every piece of information that we got, as we got it, we laid it out for the American people.”
Um, no O, no you didn’t. Either Reuters, the State Department’s Operations Center – or you – are lying. You and your Regime’s repeated characterizations of the attack as “spontaneous” demonstrations in response to a YouTube video – for two full weeks thereafter -were knowingly misleading and incomplete.
You lied to us, O – and it’s finally caught up with you. The timing couldn’t be better.

OH sorry! I did not know that when I reblogged that it would automatically show it in your blog. This is the first time I have done this… please feel free to delete my double posts Rat.
You’re fine – not to worry! I’m glad I got to read it. I also took a peek at your blog. Nice job, Teach.
Thank you…
You’re welcome.
P.S. “Peek,” that is.

Whew!! It’s about time some of this lying POS’s stuff caught up with him! I’m so glad Mr. Romney didn’t rise to his baiting and get down in the weeds with him on this. This is even better!!!
Yep, LL. I’ve been criticized for referring to Mitt’s “rope-a-dope” strategy during the last debate as “brilliant,” but this puts it all in perspective. The screw turns.
UN Ambassador Susan Rice 5 days after receiving emails confirming Benghazi was a terror attack: “We don’t have information at present that leads us to conclude this was a premeditated or pre-planned attack.”
She was lying.
And how is every MSM story handling this? Every news site carrys the headline on this story as…”White House knew of extremist (or terrorist) claims in Benghazi attack.” It’s like those stories with headline…”SUV drives into school children at bus stop.” Driver knows who drove into school children at bus stop. And hope charges are pending. Always WH with democrat in office, was always Bush before and probably would be with any republican.
And early this morning CNN report on this said…WH knew this..”2 hours after attack ended.” Ended? What? It was before bedtime for Bozo.
And – before the community officer flew off to Vegas for a fundraiser.
Meant Bonzo, but fell off monkey bars just before posting. Good, no need to reference ole Reagan movie.
I knew who you meant; didn’t want to correct you.
Thanks. Always mean what I say. Oops, won’t follow Biden down that path. But do reserve right of correction, without a funny way of laughing (Burl Ives). Double
At least – unlike the Rat – you don’t have to find typos every once in awhile – after posts have been published. Hate that when it happens.
I know, but minor. Its just an instead of and. We know. I hafe progllem witfe wards cumtums.
Funny, unit.
I guess I do have a funny way of laughing. But you know what I mean, we love your articles, and love you too. Not like in the Chicago Man’s Country bathhouse.
Thank God.
Hillary says emails “don’t paint the complete picture.” Ok, if we painting by numbers and they keep moving the numbers. Too many talented painters out here that have had the complete picture of this administration, all including Bengazi. And Powell has accepted his distorted picture.
Well at least Pant Suits got a little snicker out of it, eh? And Colin Powell? What a transparent joke he’s become.
Yes she did. Imagine if Biden was giving report.
The perfect storm.
Maybe Powell thinks he’s captain of the ship. Go down with it. Can’t imagine a four star agreeing with O after the foreign policy. But he’s been already washed up, so what’s going down?
This will sound racist – and I don’t intend it to – but Powell’s true colors came out in 2008 – and he wasn’t about to change them this go-around.
Well you didn’t give fake apology…sorry if what I said offended anyone.
And you didn’t bow.
Nah, you never offend anyone – I don’t think…
Bye the way restarted to get reply click to work for me. I meant YOU didn’t say “sorry if what I said offended anyone.” The fake apology. I’m sure all conservatives offend all liberal ALL the time. Dismiss caps here.
Hell, unit, I piss ‘em off every day just by being here.
New post on the way in mere minutes.
Durn it. Twice I’ve not replied in proper place. Oh well…try try again.
I listened to a father of one of the murdered Libyan four. It made my heart bleed for the families. Obama and his cohorts must be prosecuted for treason.
As Glenn Beck correctly said, there are people who should to go to jail.
See where some liberal talker, Thom Hartmann, says Benghazi was right wing plan. Behind the video production. Never heard of him myself, but read he’s #1 lib talker. I read a while back Carter thinks Gen. Secord and Ollie North planned for deliberate failure of the Iranian hostage rescue attempt, Carter’s October Surprise. More excuses and casting blame for the true failures, Carter and Obama.
Thom Hatmann is a hateful left-wing radio talk show host in California. He’s said far worse, believe it or not. I wrote an article on him a couple of years back. Sicko.
As for Carter, the bitter peanut farmer will go to his grave blaming Republicans for the demise of his pathetic presidency.
I have basic cable for tv, maybe one step more with cable news. Doubt he is on it. Won’t be trying to find him. Wiki says he’s #8, with all ahead of him conservative talkers.
Yup. He’s been #1 for the left for several years.
I’ll gladly not hear of him again. Overall #8 for left’s #1 isn’t a good score for libs.
What you think about rumor that Stevens was supposed to be kidnapped and swapped for blind Sheik? That being an O plan?
Farfetched.
Yeah. No grassy knolls in the desert.
I leave you be for now. Know you’re working on something new for us.
Don’t you people know any better? This was a “man-caused disaster.” Socialist Muslim in Chief does not respect our military or our core values. This was treason!!! I thought Nixon was a liar, but Hussein takes the cake or the Koran? My maternal grandparents fled Russia to escape this kind of tyranny and now we have it in our White House. God help us if this liar is reelected! He is more concerned with offending Muslim sensibilities than protecting brave Americans in dangerous missions. His only concern this past two years was getting reelected. He loves those perks. He is king and would not deign to work and compromise with Republicans. It’s his way or else – his and Nancy and Harry of course. Harry of the pocket vetoes. If Harry doesn’t like a bill, it won’t come to the Senate floor and then they blame the Republicans. What an unfunny joke on us, the taxpayers.
