Flashback: Obama One Week After Benghazi – “Extremely Offensive Video Directed At Mohammed And Islam” Responsible For Attack…

As witnesses today make clear that there was real-time information that the Benghazi attack was terrorism, and as reports circulate that initial talking points were changed to suggest it was an anti-Islamic video that was responsible, it’s important to recall that President Obama was still parroting the video line one week after the attack.

Now why would anyone have a problem with a terrorist being buried among America’s heroes? 
“I feel sympathy for them in that as long as this issue is open, they can’t have closure… Nobody deserves to rot above ground.”

More commentary on Benghazi

Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News, a persistent voice of media skepticism on Benghazi
"From the start, the Obama administration’s account of what happened in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 last year didn’t quite square for Sharyl Attkisson.
So the veteran CBS News reporter dug in, and kept digging."

The Profound Moral Failure of Benghazi  "If the most current reports can be believed, after depriving our men and women on the ground of the security they begged for, our leaders didn’t just stand by and watch as a tiny band of courageous but out-gunned Americans gave their last full measure of devotion to try to save an ambassador, save their fellow diplomats, and save themselves against an overwhelming terrorist force; those same leaders told potential rescuers to “stand down.” This isn’t just a tactical failure, or a failure of process. It’s a failure of character, and if there is any honor left in Washington, those responsible should resign."
Blackfive; What Needs to Be Answered about Benghazi  "NPR goes on to post speculation that this is really about Hillary Clinton's presidential ambitions and the Republicans attempts to thwart them."

The Blackfive article cites this column from PJ Media:
5 Benghazi Mysteries that Must Be Solved  "As the Benghazi story has unfolded, many mysteries have persisted. Why wasn’t the Benghazi mission’s security enhanced? Where was President Obama? What role, if any, did Obama campaign officials play in crafting the government’s communications after the attack? Perhaps Wednesday’s witnesses can help shed some light on them."
...."The question is, how far up in the U.S. chain of command was that decision made, and why was it made? Additionally, how did U.S. forces react to that order? Was anyone relieved of command for considering or attempting to disobey that order, as has been rumored for months?"

How Obama Betrayed America; A policy of appeasement and intervention abets our enemies.

David Horowitz  “If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see farther into the future.” — Madeleine Albright, secretary of state (1997–2001), Clinton administration

"It is a judgment on Barack Obama’s timorous, apologetic, and irresponsible conduct of foreign affairs that Madeleine Albright’s words, spoken little more than 15 years ago, now sound as antique as a pronouncement by Harry Truman at the onset of the Cold War, the great challenge America confronted bravely and without equivocation generations ago. Obama has set in motion policies meant to make America far from indispensable — a diminished nation that “leads from behind,” if at all; a nation with a downsized military, chronically uncertain about its meaning and its mission as it skulks in the wings of the world stage."
Putin keeps John Kerry waiting for THREE HOURS during his visit to Russia for meetings over Syria as relationship between the U.S. and Russia remains frosty  "Differences over Syria have deepened strains in ties between the United States and Russia that are also hampered by what Washington views as a crackdown on Russian civil society since Putin began a third term as president a year ago after the biggest protests since he first rose to power in 2000."
 

The most America-bashing president ever

David Limbaugh  "Can he ever set aside his agenda for a brief moment? Can he ever pass up an opportunity to politicize?
"I don’t believe I’m exaggerating when I say we’ve never seen anything like this before – not to this extent, anyway." Next we hear from David's brother:

Rush: Obama sending secret signals in speeches  "When has a president of the United States ever attacked America’s sovereignty? I think this is a first. I am not aware of any president ever attacking America’s sovereignty. And in coded language, which is what this was, he’s winking and nodding and dog whistling to the radicalized – not all of them – the radicalized Hispanics. (imitating Obama) “I get it, I get it, we should never have taken Mexico. It’s really yours. I get it, I get it. We’ve been mean. We’ve been imposing our way too long.” Time for a new mind-set."
Even if this president never makes another regulation, the damage done by his mouth may never be undone. Those who elected this man are looking more like nincompoops as time goes by. TD

Obama Blames U.S., Repeats 90% Gun Lie In Mexico  "
Once again blaming his own country for Mexico's gun violence without mentioning Fast and Furious, the gun runner in chief pledges to find and jail gun smugglers. Perhaps he should start with his own administration."

Statecraft as Malpractice; The president’s “red line” is meaningless, and the world will take note.

I heard a statement somewhere about a man whose mouth wrote checks his brain couldn't cash. Don't know why I thought about that. Just did.

Rich Lowry  "This possibility is noted by friend and foe alike. Surely the Iranians will be even more likely to discount the president’s Churchillian statements of resolve in stopping their nuclear program. Surely the Israelis, who just bombed Iranian missiles in Syria making their way into Lebanon, will be even more likely to believe in no red line except their own. Our other allies around the world, who depend on security guarantees that, at the end of the day, are based only on our word, will wonder, too."
