Libs, don't waste your time bashing the source to deflect. There is audio where you can hear the mother talking about this. If this were any other case, such as the mother of a shooting victim talking about people wanting her to shut up, the left would be all over it. It is frightening that we have not heard anything from the 40 or so survivors of the Benghazi attack. That just isn't normal and there is no defending that. I have never seen such silence from an administration or the media like this.
Within hours, the Obama administration was claiming that a video was responsible for the attacks. Now, months later, as details slowly surface, all we get is 'what difference does it make?' Well, it makes a big difference.
Mother of Slain Benghazi Officer to Hannity: They Want Me To Shut Up
I agree with you, Clementine. Keep in mind after the plane landed in the Hudson river in NY years ago the Captain and flight crew were detained for a week or so before being permitted to answer questions to the public. Do you remember that? So I am thinking there is a precedent for a time period in which information is gathered and people are interviewed.
The problem with the Benghazi story is nothing makes sense. I believe the stand down order had to come from the president. According to a former CIA person interviewed on The Blaze - the president watched Benghazi under attack from the situation room and still did not give the stand down order, he went to bed. That is the story I've heard. It makes sense because the chain of command would have to have led to him making that decision. Why give a stand down order and even fire those who disobeyed it later on? Shouldn't they have been commended? It is apparent to me there was a plan that was interupted.
If you rewind back to days before the attack you find the president of Egypt, Morsi, was requesting that the blind sheik who was involved in the first attack on twin tower be released by the USA and returned Egypt. There was a big outcry from the Muslim Brotherhood concerning his release. Obama could not release the blind sheik prior to his election as it would be disasterous. A plan that would work for both parties would be US Embassy Ambassador Stephens is kidnapped and a prisoner exchange is arranged. I believe that was the original plan.
When the seals disobeyed orders scaling walls and rushing to the rescue of Stephens the people doing the operation - possibly working for muslim brotherhood or Morsi - discovered they were being fired upon - they believed they had been double crossed and went into overkill mode - which is where the pictures of the Ambassador being raped in the streets - photographs of his body being carried, etc surfaced.
If you examine Obama's behavior closely right afterwards, you will note it was the eve of his 1st debate with Romney when the story was breaking and there was alot of commotion going on in Washington I'm sure. Obama couldn't even concentrate to answer Romney's rebuttals during the debate. He was unusually distracted to the point of the american public asking the next day, What happened to him? Why was he so distracted? I believe that is the reason why. He was afraid the american people were going to find out. Had it not been for appointing Patraeus to head of CIA - arranging the seduction of same general with Broadwell - one of their own - I believe we would have been able to hear the truth of the standdown order directly from him but due to the Generals own position being compromised it never came out.
For anyone who believes Broadwell was a coincidence, something that just "happened" - you need to take a closer look at her. She even looks like him. This woman was custom picked for him. Her assignment? To write a book about him? Praising his abilities, building him up, it was the ultimate set up. I have not a doubt in my mind she was sent in there to do what she did. To add to the mystery we see two of the GOP's greatest traitors take up the investigation of Benghazi. John McCain and Lyndsey Graham. Thus assuring the American people will never get to the bottom of what happened in Benghazi. If there were not anything for this adminstration to hide they would not be trying to silence the family members & survivors months after the tragedy happened. Something is rotten and it isn't in Denmark, folks. That is my 2 cents.
