Meet The New Face Of The Benghazi Embassy Scandal

Tyler Durden's picture




 

When it comes to the Benghazi embassy killings, the administration will kindly request that Americans no longer associate this face...

 

... and focus all their negative energy on this (very bearded) face instead: the one belonging to the repetedly interviewed by US press alleged "masterming" of the deadly Benghazi attack, Ahmed Abu Khatallah (profiled previously) who for nearly two years was hiding in plain sight in Libya, and who has finally, after extensive Google searches on his current whereabouts by the CIA, been found and captured (a process CNN described as "a large group of trappers quietly snaring rare and dangerous prey") and is being brought back to the US by way of slow boat to be waterboarded until Hillary Clinton's book sales finally pick up.

 

Failure to abide by this polite request by the administration will result in an executive order demanding the same.

And it is not like me being a "watchdog" is going to make any difference whatsoever.  What am I gonna bitch on a Fox board about how NBC sucks?  They don't care why you are watching, only that you are there and they can pimp that to their advertisers.  

Now, cancelling cable............

The key to the whole shebang is to stop watching any sports programming on the majors.  If their viewership models detect shrinking audiences for sports (takes ALOT of adverts to support $2BILLION price tag for the clippers that have been clipped from the owner in the land of the free) the suits in the fron toffice will start sweating followed by smudging their panties followed by howling at the moon.

Long story short, stop watching sports.

I don't expect MSM will ever report on this fact. And there is no way they don't know.

Seymour Hersh clearly lays out that the embassy in Benghazi was a CIA front for running US advanced weaponry from stockpiles in Libya into the hands of Al-Qaeda affiliated groups in Syria. As Secretary of State, Clinton must have approved this activity.  And yet, even in her new book, she holds to the story that the attack on the embassy was a random act inspired by a goofy video on YouTube. 

If the truth were to be reported by MSM, it would destroy any hope of her running for president. 

Yet another egregious example of the complicity of MSM in managing the message and lying to the people.

Judging from how carefully Hillary parsed her words in the Diane Sawyer interview starting at 6:45 (video link above), it's my impression she's upset at having to cover for the CIA's gun running op...

"I'm saying that we have to be very thoughtful as United States of America...where we send people, why we send them, what we expect from them and how we do the best to protect them..."

frankly, I've still not understood what this Benghazi-gate is about. seriously, I'm not trolling

I do understand that it's all handy to embarass Clinton, yet since when is the security of embassies a matter of total responsibility of a foreign minister (in the US called Secretary of State)? and it wasn't even an embassy, just a consulate with an intelligence "safe house", as far as I remember

in a different country, this would embarass both the heads of intelligence and defence moar than the foreign minister. in a different country, their heads would have rolled way before her. just my two cents, enjoy the spat

There never was a consulate or anything close listed under Benghazi on theUS Embassy website.

Gordo - it's all in good sport. Obviously I read your posts and not just to snark back. I do roll my eyes often though.

This isn't really about Dems factions, at least I don't perceive it that way. In this particular instance, knowledge of Benghazi smells a little like a turf war between spook agencies of which Hitlary is more a political patron to the CIA than an asset as some would have you believe.

I don't blame you for not really having an understanding - 98.99% of the US population doesn't either. For them, it is an unknown unknown.

The US government is no longer operating within in any legal framework, domestically or internationally, and they no longer even bother with appearances. So, if you view them as more an inept global criminal empire that has permanently "gone to the mattresses", it'll likely make a wee bit more sense.

Gordo it's about the lie, the intentional cover-up by blaming it on a video then jailing the mook that made it. They knew as it was happening that it was a terrorist attack yet that didn't fit the pre-election narrative.

It most likely goes even deeper then that as many suspect that Amb Steven's was running guns to terrorists in Syria.

It's also about Steven's requesting more security but O'Golfer and Hitlery couldn't be bothered.  So they lied to cover up criminal acts -arming terrorists- and extreme malfeasance weeks before an election.

It was NOT the embassy, which is in Tripoli.   This ambassador and his crew were in a delapitdated, unprotected consular compound in Benghazi, the heart of the jihadist mercenary "movement".  Why?  What were they up to?  That's what .gov and the paid-for media will not and will never discuss.  Enough info has been revealed to lead to the conclusion they were arranging the transfer of captured arms as well as personel to Syria to start up that war.   Whatever was going on was slimy.

Sorry you lost someone you knew in the attack.  Please don't restrict my freedoms because of their death.  It was due to an unfortunate "accident" which the NSA/FBI/CIA and a whole host of alphabet agencies couldn't have seen coming, even though there was elevated "chatter".

Those who are willing to trade safety for their freedoms are likely to get neither.  I think someone famous said that.  Funny, he was right.  Wonder how he knew so far in advance?!?!

Two things that drive me nuts:  Not EVERYTHING is government conspiracy.  If anything, this goes to prove the inabilities of big government.

Second, the police state is separate issue.  I call for the reduction in the size and scope of government.  The police state is just another abuse of an out of control federal government.  I want our borders protected.  Let the fucking muslim kill each other.  So just b/c I think it's not a government conspiracy, that doesn't mean I'm all for the police state.  Get rid of the CIA/NSA/FBI and the Tinfoil hat brigade, and put the military on the border.

Not much I can disagree with there.  Take back your "fuck you"?  I still stand by my statistic as put forward.  The statement is that you're more likely to be killed in so many other ways than a terrorist attack, although there is an infinitesimal risk, it can happen.  Not worth destroying our freedom and increasing our reliance on government to protect us.  Frankly I believe in a responsible armed populace to defend itself.  Completely agree about protecting our borders and those we allow in.  Every hijacker that is alleged to have participated in the attack were "allowed" into the country.  Government did NOTHING to protect "us".

DHS and ICE aren't protecting the borders.  They're fucking a limo service shipping undocumented children and sex slaves to massachusetts, NYC, etc...

Can someone explain to me how US law applies to this non-US citizen in a foreign country? How does a federal court have jurisdiction? Not that I support his actions, but these were killings in a war zone.

By that logic, Yemen or Pakistani Special Forces could then be justified in arresting US politicians and taking them back to those countries for trials for manslaughter of innocent people killed in drone strikes.

So, can anyone explain the jurisdiction issue? (no, I don't understand international law).

Thank you

Terrorists, by definition under the Geneva Convention,  have no "rights" according to said document. All enemy soldiers are to be considered soldiers until their status is defined. (Article I, III and IV iirc)

 

If determined to be a "terrorist" and not a soldier, then technically we can drag them outside and put two in their head.

Thanks for the reply. What is the definition of a "terrorist"? (serious question). In a rag tag country at civil war, no one is going to have uniforms and such. Just because someone doesn't have nice uniforms and organizational structure, that doesn't seem to me to qualfiy as "terrorist".

So as long as we are organized and were uniforms we can "terrorize" people with drone strikes? (seems like the logical conclusion).

Again, not trying to defend this guy, I just don't understand the logic and rules.
