Benghazi and Boko Haram: the common delineator is Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton at senate hearingBenghazi proved to be a terrible tragedy involving the deaths of four good Americans, as is the current Boko Haram kidnapping of the 270+ girls in Nigeria.

Hillary Clinton, the smartest woman in politics, got both of those issues wrong.  She is the common delineator between these two disastrous events.  She had choices to make and she chose poorly; people died as a result of her decisions.

First, Islamists and al Qaeda were responsible for Benghazi but the Obama Administration could not admit their failure because they had just touted that Mr Obama had al Qaeda “on the run,” “decimated” and “on the path to defeat.”

[Another reason I love events immured in YouTube.  You can’t fudge the facts.]

Then came Benghazi and four Americans were sacrificed on the altar of political expediency and Demorat coverups.  Susan Rice, former UN Ambassador, said:

A bald-faced lie by the duplicitous to the addled and soft-brained amongst us.

Next: the lie by Mr Obama whilst speaking at the United Nations:

I’m sure that, at the time, al Qaeda was wondering: “just what the hell are you talking about?”  It determined: thanks; you’re playing right into our hands.  We salute you.

Hillary Rodham Clinton continued to enable the duplicitous Benghazi Meme:

Whilst Demorats did their best to minimize the importance of the Benghazi deaths, Conservatives continued to insist that those four deaths had importance and that we as a nation and government needed to understand and recognize our mistakes in order that those mistake not reoccur and that the four deaths were not meaningless or in vain.

My posts:

And some base questions: just who told Hillary Rodham Clinton to blame the video?  Where was she at the time of the attack?  Where was Barack Hussein Obama?  Why the so very long response time for our citizens?

Perhaps now — with this Select Committee — there might be a slight opportunity for the truth to unveil itself?  Because, after all, the more people try to stonewall, the more there must be to know.

Now that Boko Haram has revealed its true Islamist and Sharia Law bent, people in the United States are starting to become “upset.”

But let’s go back, shall we, to the nexus of Boko Haram and Hillary Rodham Clinton, in terms of her refusing — as Secretary of State — to quantify Boko Haram as an FTO (Foreign Terrorist Organization).

Hillary’s State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as Terrorists

Under Hillary Clinton, the State Department repeatedly declined to fully go after the terror group responsible for kidnapping hundreds of girls.
The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American government’s ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.In the past week, Clinton, who made protecting women and girls a key pillar of her tenure at the State Department, has been a vocal advocate for the 200 Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko Haram, the loosely organized group of militants terrorizing northern Nigeria. Her May 4 tweet about the girls, using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, was cited across the media and widely credited for raising awareness of their plight.

But whose inaction spurred on the attackers?  Her own in 2012.

“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn’t use. And nobody can say she wasn’t urged to do it. It’s gross hypocrisy,” said a former senior U.S. official who was involved in the debate. “The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.”

In May 2012, then-Justice Department official Lisa Monaco (now at the White House) wrote to the State Department to urge Clinton to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. The following month, Gen. Carter Ham, the chief of U.S. Africa Command, said that Boko Haram “are likely sharing funds, training, and explosive materials” with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. And yet, Hillary Clinton’s State Department still declined to place Boko Haram on its official terrorist roster.

Who actually placed Boko Haram on the FTO list?  Of all people, John Kerry, after a series of Christian church bombings in Nigeria.

Let me unequivocally state that the kidnapping occurred roughly one month ago, on April 14th.  One month.  Yet the dainty sensibilities of Leftists weren’t upset until last week.

When Leftists do something, they are being good.  When Conservatives do something they are being “partisan.”

Further (you’ll love this): here’s a long forgotten point from MoveOn.org: their poll to urge then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton not to declare Boko Haram a terrorist group:

MoveOn.org Petition Boko HaramThis is an amazing bit of defeatist pussified crap from people who are predominantly cowards.  They advocate “dialogue.”  There is no “dialogue” with terrorists or Islamists or criminals or psychopaths.  They want what they want when they want it and couldn’t care less about “dialogue.”  They only care about two things: 1) their strength and 2) your weakness.

Cowardly Leftist EmosA “hashtag” #BringBackOurGirls won’t bring back anyone, much less the girls — including Christian girls — at all.  It merely serves to dupe and assuage the senseless Emos amongst us.

Michelle Obama -- Bring Back Our GirlsMichelle Obama holding up a sign won’t bring back anyone, much less the girls, at all.

A nice discussion between John Kerry and Boko Haram leaders around a nice ebon table and some soothing cups of tea won’t bring back anyone, much less the girls, at all.

How can the Leftists decry Boko Haram and yet refuse to let Ayaan Hirsi Ali speak at Brandeis University — a woman who is a clear critic of Boko Haram, al Qaeda and Islamists?  Muslims who in turn believe in female genital mutilation and honor killings?  By Muslims who think that women are nothing more than chattel?  How hypocritical can that be?  How insane can that be?  Boko Haram is only worth criticism when young girls are threatened?

On that note: apparently the killing of fifty-nine little boys by Boko Haram in February of this year doesn’t count at all.  I don’t see Michelle Obama holding up a sign saying #bringbackourboys.  Nor do I see celebrities all a-twitter on Twitter even mentioning that horrible incident.

Why?  I submit because it’s about little boys, not little girls.  Little girls kidnapped = Huge Deal.  Little boys killed and burned to the bone = no deal at all.

Thank you Leftists.

Thank you Hillary Clinton.

Benghazi witness says State Dept told him not to meet with Congressional investigators

Gregory HicksFrom BuzzFeed:

Deputy chief of mission for the U.S. in Libya Gregory Hicks testified Wednesday that he was told not to meet with a congressman sent to investigate the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi. Hicks said a State Department lawyer accompanied the delegation and attempted to be in every single meeting he was involved in.

Amazing testimony but — guess what?  Whilst these vitally important hearings occurred on Wednesday, would it shock you to know that CNN was conspicuously absent?  Instead, CNN was camped out on a minor crime scene in Cleveland.

Mr Hicks further testified regarding US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice and her talking points post-Benghazi:

Furthermore, Mr Hicks goes on to say the Benghazi scene was unsecured for 18 days:

If not bad enough, clear evidence indicated a poorly-produced video had nothing to do with the events of Benghazi:

Further damning, from the Washington Examiner:

Email: Senior State Dept. officials knew terrorists had attacked Benghazi before Rice interviews

From the UKDailyMailOnline:

Secret email reveals top official told Libya’s U.S. Ambassador that terrorists were behind Benghazi attack – four days BEFORE U.S. Ambassador to UN said it was a spontaneous attack

  • Sept. 11: Terrorists attack the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya
  • Sept. 12: State Dept. Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs tells Libya’s President that Ansar al-Sharia was responsible
  • Sept. 13: CIA writes candid talking points for members of Congress
  • Sept. 15: White House deputies edit the talking points, removing all references to Islamic terrorism
  • Sept. 16: UN Ambassador Susan Rice, in five television interviews, blames the attack on a spontaneous mob angered by an anti-Islam YouTube video

A top State Department appointee told Libya’s ambassador to the United States one day after the military-style assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that the terror group Ansar al-Shariah was responsible. 

But four days later, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations said on television that it was the product of a spontaneous protest.

During a fiery and emotional congressional hearing on the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Rep. Trey Gowdy read aloud from an email dated Sept. 12, 2012 to senior State Department officers, from Elizabeth Jones, the acting Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs.

Describing a conversation she had with then-Libyan ambassador Ali Aujali, Jones wrote in the previously undisclosed email that ‘I told him that the group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists.’

‘Let me say that again,’ Gowdy emphasized during the hearing: ‘She told him.’

Which means the five different TV shows visited by Susan Rice that immediate Sunday following the Benghazi Murders were nothing more than FALSE “talking points” conjured up by the Demorat DC regime of Barack Hussein Obama in concert with Hillary Rodham Clinton.

And here’s another tidbit: there had been 230 attacks against US and allied installments in Libya and 48 of those in Benghazi in the year prior to the 9/11/12 attack.  CIA developed intelligence which indicated there was a massive likelihood that a major terror event would be staged on 9/11/12.

The motivation for all the Benghazi lies is this base and venal: a presidential election hinged on and was based upon a fraud perpetrated by those who purposely lied about the events of Benghazi in order to keep Demorat presidential power in DC.  No more, no less.  The fragile election could brook no scandal.  And the American Media Maggots, complicit, did and are doing their level best to quash Benghazi wholesale.  Witness CNN.

The AMM could not have Mr Obama countered, as he had recently sworn to the American public that he had alQaeda “on the run.”  And Hillary?  As the Next Ordained One, she absolutely cannot have her star tarnished by such a rudimentary and stupid thing as a few petty Americans getting wiped out in some piss-ant country full of sand that would offend her ankles.  Pah!

What does it say about our Secretary and State and our Secretary of Defense, who do not get back on the line to talk to the Number One remaining administrator in Benghazi following the attack?  Were they otherwise occupied?  Were there other murders occurring in consulates around the world which would divert their attention?  Was American Idol on TV?  Did they need to clean their office fish tanks?  Buff their nails?

Let me make this abundantly clear for the possible PC amongst us: I couldn’t care less, not one molecule, about some women held captive in Ohio or some female convicted of killing her husband.  The Benghazi Murders are infinitely more important in terms of the position of our country and our regime in DC.  CNN has made its bed and made its continuous and current fellating of DC Demorats more than abundantly clear.  Satisfying blow jobs that, obviously, shall not stop until an opposite regime is installed.

There are crimes here, ladies and gentlemen.  Intimidating witnesses.  Obstruction.  Perhaps even the suborning of perjury.

Are you listening?
