Did
Obama Refuse To Aid Our Men In
Benghazi?

In
the month and a half since our
consulate in Benghazi was sacked and our ambassador and three other
staffers
killed the Obama regime is no closer to presenting a coherent, truthful
narrative of what happened before, during, and after the incident than
it was
when it uttered its first deliberate lies and misdirections on
September 12.
Right
now we are being treated to
the vision of the highest level of the ongoing criminal enterprise that
governs
us playing the equivalent of a game of musical chairs.
About
a week ago, the political
branches of the regime decided to finger the intelligence services as
the
culprits. We’ve been told over and over how there just wasn’t
sufficient
intelligence provided to either anticipate the attack or to determine
the
identities of the attackers. Of course, we now know that both those
stories are
unmitigated falsehoods.
The
newest question is who allowed
the four men to be killed in Benghazi, or conversely who forbade any
attempt to
save their lives. This decision seems to reach all the way into the
Oval
Office.
What
we now know is that the attack
was monitored, in real time, in the State Department, the Pentagon, the
White
House, and at Africom HQ in Germany. We know there was a Predator drone
overhead and we know the consulate provided live audio feed of the
attack until
the end.
An
important fact is buried here.
Predators
don’t just magically
appear on the scene. They have to be launched and they have to have a
mission
when they are launched. A Predator UAV has a range of 675 miles with a
max
speed of 135mph. The UAV almost certainly had to have been launched
from the US
facility at Signonella in Sicily.
