Benghazi and Baloney

A prior post.

General Petraeus and the Defense Intelligence Agency

It seems very convenient, as has been noted by others, that Hillary Clinton bumped her head and could not give testimony on Benghazi. In addition however, it appears a number of high ranking State Department officials have had to resign. Reuters - Yahoo News - U.S. State Dept officials resign under pressure over Benghazi killings. Now, one article pointed out how the State Department had been given conflicting reports on what caused the attacks. That is pure fiction. When they claimed that the attacks were caused by the YouTube video called the "Innocence of the Muslims" it was a lie. Nobody surveyed the attackers, it was just a lie.

Let us consider this. If the CIA had claimed it was because of the movie then the analysts would have been asked to resign and not people at the State Department for believing them. The lies originated in the State Department and the Intelligence Agencies responded in whatever way they did. We know the result, Patreaus = Gone. Clinton = Gone. Senior State Department Officials = Gone. I would say that is CIA 3, State Department = 0.

Now, here is the real question. What was really going on in Benghazi? Why were the Ambassador and 3 agents allowed to be killed? If the official story about the movie had been believed then what would have been the US response. I bet we would have left the country and the Muslim Brotherhood would have taken over. The Ambassador was a hero to the moderates and was to be part of a peaceful transition. Maybe a peaceful transition was not what was wanted.
