Air Force Witness: Yes, We Could Have Flown to Benghazi and Saved Tyrone Wood and Glen Dougherty But We Were Told to Stand Down

I'm so tired of the liberals and their big-government-boosting Republican allies covering this up.

There are witnesses. They want to tell the story. They cannot, because they have been threatened with severe consequences if they allegedly violate their non-disclosure agreements.

They are do not wish to disclose anything about any classified matter; they simply want to talk about political choices. But of course, Obama and Hillary's callous disregard for American lives is the only kind of "national security secret" these motherf***ers care about protecting.

Obama is blocking them from talking, and then telling the country "there's no story here" when no witnesses speak.

8 To me, Benghazi is a multi-part scandal, where each part is not that horrible, except the claim of the video.

That was horrible.

Not having enough security, not responding fast enough - those I can accept as commonplace incompetence.

Lying about the video, especially to the fam?

Unacceptable.

Cankles herself couldn't approve air support. That's on Obama. But she chose to lie.

1. No. The nature of a tax credit is that it comes straight off the top of what you owe, or gets added to your refund if you end up not owing anything. So this is basically a dollar for dollar reimbursement for the cost of daycare.
2. The overwhelming majority of people put their children in government run childcare centers, generally called pre-school, kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school. But if you stick strictly by definition to day-cares, many of those centers get paid by the state to take in low income children.

65 Obama is blocking them from talking, and then telling the country "there's no story here" when no witnesses speak.

I know that there are a lot of things we "know", but how well do we know them?

- The NDA that all the witnesses are supposedly under, how do we know this?

- Arms trading out of the consulate, again how?

How is it that no career officer with integrity has broken omerta?

Don't get me wrong, I think this is all despicable and I do know that Hillary knowingly lied to the families of the dead, but I don't get why I know so little for certain.

93 Most people don't want to hear any more about Benghazi, sadly.

Anyone who could have been a witness was muzzled. Cheryl Mills was involved.

Benghazi wasn't an embassy. Ambassador Stevens wasn't there to give out visas. Word is that it was the locus for a Black ops operation to funnel Lybian arms through Turkey to the Syrian rebels who became ISIS. Now that's a Holy Shit Headline. This operation may be connected to the $6 billion that went missing from State under Hillary's watch.

So the cover-up worked.

103 It's increasingly difficult to conclude anything other than that the highest levels of the administration did not intend for anyone in the consulate to survive.

Consider the otherwise inexplicable chain of prior decisions, e.g., declining the strongly worded request from Ambassador Stevens for an augmented security detail.

Step (a): obtain, and have paid for by Uncle Sugar, a bunch of sought-after high-dollar weaponry with which to ostensibly "arm the moderate Libyan factions".

Step (b): instead, quietly sell those arms to the local Islamic radicals for a pile of untraceable cash. Using an outpost in a remote city for the purpose.

Step (c): ensure that those in a position to witness this cynical subterfuge will be in no position to testify.

But, but, but... isn't it *absolutely unthinkable* that representatives of the U.S. government could be complicit in cash dealings for weaponry with Muslim radicals?

Gee, I don't know. Maybe we should ask the former Lt. Col Oliver North for his viewpoint.

114 Re: that child care crap in the sidebar, that would be the most fraud-ridden waste of money ever.

We currently are spending oodles of money to pay unskilled poor people to "care" for "disabled" persons, typically relatives or friends of theirs. They often arrange these schemes, never do any actual work hours, and simply cash the taxpayers' check. There are at least three levels of fraud going on: 1) friend or relative gets "disability" benefits for a phony claim, 2) the "disabled" person is authorized X hours per week for in-home care paid for by Social Security, which they dole out to a "worker" who is some acquaintance of theirs, and 3) some middle-man company (usually called something charitable-sounding like "Alliance for Disabled Citizens") swoops in and takes a cut for funneling the checks. And in some states, 4) workers are forced to join a union, which gets their own cut.

If the government launched a program that allowed this exact same, except for child care, it would be 1000x worse. Everybody in your local trailer park would be drawing yet another government check for supposedly spending 8 hours that week watching their neighbors' kid, and some group called "Children's Welfare Alliance" would be taking a 20% cut.

128 Sid Vicious Blumenthal continues his book tour but keeps getting asked questions on other topics. CNBC this morning grilled him on whether he made money off Libya from working with Hillary and about whether donations to the Foundation influenced policy. His stock defense was that he only worked at the Foundation where he was only involved in education projects.

Irony is that the Obamans were adamant that Sid not join Hillary at State because Sid was the point in 2007-2008 for running anti-Obama stories including starting the birther rumors, else he would have had an office next to Hillary at Foggy Bottom. Instead he had to work off the books.

The very question that the Administration should have been crucified with when they say "we knew the QRF couldn't get there in time" was "how in the hell did you know how long the second attack would last?"

The other thing going on in SoCal is that there, as elsewhere in the country, blacks are strongly over-represented in government jobs. At all levels: municipal, county, state, federal, parastatal. Thanks to decades of very firmly enforced affirmative action in hiring and promotion in the public sector.

This was a very comfortable setup for Da'Metrius and LaQuisha for a while.

Except that now, Pedro and Maria have arrived, and they want their proportionate share of those cushy official jobs, and getting that share means displacing blacks, and this is NOT sitting AT ALL well with Da'Metrius and LaQuisha.

Peter Schweitzer's book Clinton Cash came out about a year ago and provides a detailed road map into the pay for play deals involving the Foundation. There's enough dots on its pages to draw the cat for a criminal complaint. It was mostly ignored by media, including by George Stephanopolous who dismissed it saying there's no smoking gun.

Trump has been talking about the book a lot lately including because it's been turned into a documentary. It ties to his Crooked Hillary meme.

But now you have Megyn dismissing it as a partisan piece because the documentary got support from Breitbart, leaving out that Schweizter funded his book by pre-selling exclusives to The Times and WaPo, and Megyn doesn't deal with the merits of the allegations at all.

And that's called journalism. Fox mostly sucks, Megyn too and not in a good way.

170 Imagine if you will that Bush was the prez during the nightmare that is Benghazi. Bush left his ambassador to die, Bush refused to send help and disappeared for the night and no one knew where he was, what he ordered or what he did during the attack, bush left for a fundraiser the next day, bush lied to the victims parents, Bush told our military to stand down, is there any doubt in the world what would have happened if the presednet's name was Bush?
