What is Obama Hiding about Benghazi?

AND WILL IT BE HIS UNDOING?

(Oct. 19, 2012) — Speaking on Comedy Central on Thursday night, Obama told host Jon Stewart that it was not “optimal” that four Americans employed by the U.S. State Department were killed on September 11 at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

The regime originally stated that the cause of the violence was an obscure anti-Islamic video first reported to have been produced by a Coptic Christian.  Later reports revealed him to be a convicted felon who is also a Muslim whose partner in crime reportedly was allowed by the FBI to seek refuse in the Middle East rather than face justice in the United States.

Several reports have been published over the last month which indicate that the U.S. could be involved in an arms-trafficking operation in Libya involving members of Islamic militant groups.  One such report, written by a Middle East analyst for Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely’s Stand Up America, contends that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “hired” an Al Qaeda operative who “killed” the four Americans at the consulate on September 11, 2012.  The author, Denise Simons, claims that the four “were executing a CIA and State Department mission to track not only Qaddafi’s weapons, but to trace any and all weapons trafficking in the regions.”

Vallely has reported that in regard to the raid on Osama bin Laden’s hideout on May 2, 2011, Obama “did not know of the raid in Abbottabad to kill Osama Bin Laden on May 1st, 2011 until after the helicopters with SEAL TEAM 6 had crossed into Pakistani airspace.”  Vallely stated that Obama had been “called off the golf course” at the time.  Various other reports have stated that Obama had hesitated three times to authorize the killing of bin Laden, and years before, Bill Clinton had taken the same path.

Glen Doherty, one of two Navy SEALS killed in the terrorist attack, had told ABC News that he was on a mission to track weapons which had been looted following the removal from power of Muommar Gaddafi early in 2011.  Another report said that he had been working as a “private security specialist.”

At the second presidential debate on Tuesday, Obama did not answer a question from the audience as to why additional security for the Tripoli and Benghazi locations had not been approved by the State Department.  The night before, Hillary Clinton said that she “took responsibility” for the shortfalls in security, but Obama said that he was ultimately responsible during the debate.

Is Obama grieving over the loss of the four State Department employees, including the ambassador, or is he trying to cover up what actually happened?

Amb. Stevens’ mother told CBS News that she has not received a call from the White House or the State Department regarding her son’s death (2:58).  The mother of Sean Smith, one of the four who was killed, said she does not trust the little that the U.S. government has told her.

Obama found it “offensive” that Mitt Romney called into question his regime’s foreign policy and candidness about the attack.
