Rep. Peter King Doubles Down: Obama Administration’s Benghazi Cover-Up Was For Electoral Politics (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, September 29, 2012, 12:35 PM
Of course it was…
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) doubled-down today and called for UN Ambassador Susan Rice to resign for deceit and/or incompetence. King also accused the Obama Administration of deceiving the American public on the Benghazi terror attack for political gain.
“Either Ambassador Rice was deliberately misleading the American people or she showed and demonstrated such a lack of knowledge and sophistication that she shouldn’t hold that position anymore. The entire administration has handled this wrong from the start. They’ve misinformed the American people, misinformed the world. And, she was their spokeswoman. She showed such a lack of knowledge and sophistication that she shouldn’t hold that position anymore… Virtually everything she said was wrong.”
“My belief is that the administration wanted this story out because if it were a terrorist attack, which it was, it would undermine the president’s position that somehow Al-Qaeda had been decimated and implying that Al-Qaeda was no longer a threat. We did have a terrorist attack and four Americans were killed including the ambassador. So I think a lot of it was done for electoral politics to cover the president’s failure.“
The Obama administration knew the Benghazi strike was a terrorist attack 24 hours after the attack but kept this information from the public.

We should drop Susan Rice off in downtown Benghazi and see how she makes out.

King is obviously a racist
Patty commented:
We can jump scream and shout, King can talk until the cows come home but one thing is for sure, Obama team, “you can’t touch this until the election are over” and it has been documented they won’t until middle of November (after elections) I would suppose that is when Congress is back in session but this isn’t sitting well with the right.
And they say that Kerry of all people is calling for investigations. That is my opinion was all for show. Do anyone of us believe that Obama will feel any pain, no, just like Holder skating right out will not even a bruise from Fast and Furious. They have their fall guys. And if Obama isn’t re-elected the shredding begins.

thank you Peter King!
We need to elect people with spines in November…prepare for the onslaught you never thought could happen…remember, the daly machine was behind the al gore recount too. Chicago politics must be defeated

Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, has apparently been assigned to take the fall for Benghazigate; you know – the trumped-up scandal about your government lying to you about terrorism, al Queda and hateful movie trailers? I’m not positive butt I think this debriefing may lead to Clapper’s downfall : It became painfully obvious that we were going to need a fall guy after this harsh WSJ editorial: …None of the initial explanations offered by the White House and State Department since the assault on the Benghazi consulate has held up.

AND THIS:
Drunk broker boosted oil prices for eight months in 2009
The broker managed to spend $520 million of company funds on oil futures the night of June 29, 2009, despite having no authority to do so. The following morning, when asked about the expenditure by an admin clerk, Perkins had no recollection of the purchase.
A recently released report by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) concluded the trades were made in a “drunken blackout.”
Perkins ultimately purchased 69 percent of the global market between the hours of 1:22 a.m. and 3:41 a.m. causing the price of oil to jump $1.50 per barrel, “the kind of swing that is caused by a major geopolitical event,” CNBC notes.
The global barrel price went from $71.40 to $73.05, as Perkins bid higher and higher each time.
Upon sobering up and presumably realizing what he had done, Perkins messaged his boss that he would not be able to make it to work due to an unwell relative.
PVM Oil Futures lost nearly $10 million when the company eventually realized the trades had not been made on the account of a client.
Perkins had his trading license revoked for five years and was served with a fine of $116,878 after an official investigation and admitting to having a drinking problem.
“The FSA has said that they will re-approve his license after the five-year period, if he has recovered from his drinking problem, although they warned that, ‘Mr. Perkins poses an extreme risk to

What Movie?: Report Says Stevens Murder Revenge for Plot Against al-Qaeda
Debka: Benghazi murder of Chris Stevens was revenge for plot against al-Qaeda
Debka, which sometimes gets things wrong, is quoting its military intelligence sources as saying that the reason why the Obama administration is covering up the al-Qaeda links to the murder of American ambassador Chris Stevens on September 11 in Benghazi, Libya, was because the murder was an act of revenge for US-led plans to assassinate the terrorist Abdelmalek Droukdel, “Emir of Al Qaeda in the Land of the Maghreb”, or Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). According to the details of the story, which Debka says are not fully confirmed, the Americans collaborated with the Libyan, Algerian and Tunisian secret services to kill Droukdel and the entire AQIM leadership, an accomplishment that would have rivaled the killing of Osama bin Laden for the Obama administration. However, Droukdel got wind of the assassination plans, and turned the tables, killing Stevens. The “spontaneous attack” theory put forward by numerous officials in the administration was a full-throated lie.
Armed Islamist groups, including AQIM, Libya’s Ansar al-Sharia, Nigeria’s Boko Haram, Mali’s Ansar al-Dine and the West African Monotheism and Jihad are now preparing to discuss expanding their joint operations, including the smuggling of arms, money and jihadists, using the impetus provided by their Benghazi “success.” Debka

Obama and the left pushing the anti-Mohammed video narrative is really about setting up the debate for censorship on the internet.
“If it causes civil unrest, then it is equal to yelling fire in a theatre and it must be regulated.”

Another case in point:
Al-Qaeda prisoners escape after attack on Iraqi jail
What was it the president said when he announced our withdrawal from Iraq:
“With our diplomats and civilian advisers in the lead, we will help Iraqis strengthen institutions that are just, representative and accountable,” Obama said. “We’ll build new ties of trade and of commerce, culture and education that unleash the potential of the Iraqi people.”
Maybe they can start by strengthening security at the jails:
Dozens of prisoners, including convicted al Qaeda members, escaped an Iraqi jail after militants dressed in police uniform attacked the prison and released them, security sources said on Friday.
The jail, which housed some 300 inmates, was assaulted by gunmen driving police vehicles after a car bomb exploded outside the main gate late on Thursday, security sources said. Twelve prison guards and seven gunmen were killed in clashes.
Security forces managed to regain control of the jail, in the city of Tikrit, early on Friday, but an official said more than 50 prisoners were still on the run, among them leading members of al Qaeda who had been sentenced to death on more than ten counts.
“There was clear negligence and laxness by those who are in charge of this prison. The operation was pre-planned, well prepared,” Hakim Al-Zamili, a member of parliament’s security and defense committee, told Reuters.
A curfew was imposed and helicopters hovered over the city, the home town of the executed former President Saddam Hussein.
Around 20 escapees were recaptured overnight, but Zamili said it would be tough to track down the rest because they had destroyed prison records before fleeing.
“All documents, files, pictures and all identifications of those prisoners were burned. I think the security forces will find it very difficult to identify those who escaped.”
Not bad for “militants” as Reuters calls them. That kind of thoroughness and pre-planning has all the earmarks of an al-Qaeda operation.
The terrorists are growing in strength and unless the Iraqi government can find a way to neutralize them, they will continue to threaten the stability of the regime.

Weak middle east forces, no commander in Chief at home with experience to lead with firm action and leadership.
FBI can’t even get into areas, money is given to our enemies, disturbing information coming from heads of government.
This is a crisis beyond any other and it is time for impeachment proceedings they may not go anywhere but it would help if this was just the push voters need to see Obama is terribly wrong for America.

Muslim Brotherhood ‘infiltrated’ U.S. gov’t
[The Muslim Brotherhood is a radical Islamist organization that has
successfully penetrated both political parties and the delicate areas
of defense and national security.
Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin, executive vice president of the Family Research Council, told WND’s Greg Corombos that people with connections to the Muslim Brotherhood are in vital positions within every significant area of the U.S. government. He specifically cited high security clearances for such people in the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security.
He said neither Republicans nor Democrats want to protest
too loudly over concerns of being branded intolerant.
Boykin said Republicans proved their weakness on the issue by roundly condemning Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., for sounding the alarm on this issue and specifically wondering about the Brotherhood ties of Huma Abedin, a top assistant to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
He also slammed the sequestration plan that has the military on course for an additional $500 billion in cuts over the next decade, saying that will weaken every branch of the service and that a naive rationale is behind it all.
Gen. Boykin said President Obama and other leftists have a vision where the U.S. takes a smaller role on the world stage so they think our military will not need to maintain its current size and won’t be pumping money into the Middle East. The general said that’s nonsense, pointing out that as long as oil and Israel are in the Middle East we’ll need to maintain a presence there.]

imo, COURTS WOULD BE TIED UP “Eight ways to Sunday” IF we add a republican in office.
And speaking of that, you have to admire Romney, because if he wins, his work is CUT OUT FOR HIM. as Obama has made things, here and abroad so much worse. But isn’t that like it has been down through the years.
Liberals mess it up and then we have to fix it. Time is wasted because of them.
