Benghazi: in Black and White

In days gone by, America would not have ignored an ambassador's pleas for more security for months.

In days gone by, America would not have defended its consulate with an Islamic Martyrs Brigade.

In days gone by, America would have moved heaven and earth to defend a consulate that was under attack for 8 hours.

But in Obama's America, all these things happened in Benghazi. That's why there is so much outrage at the ongoing cover-up.

In a must watch video, Bill Whittle assumes the role of virtual president, and shows how an American President with a beating heart would have responded. And following, we see how demented black leaders can only see racism and sexism in this issue. And then Diana West explains what is being overlooked by the obsession with Susan Rice's role.

Diana West, Susan Rice, Distraction: The Real Benghazi Questions

It is neither “racist” nor “sexist” to question U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s role in the Benghazi scandal. It is, however, almost entirely beside the point.

Rice wasn't making life-and-death decisions on Sept. 11, 2012, when the U.S. compound in the Libyan city of Benghazi came under attack; President Obama was. Rice, therefore, is unable to answer the all-important question about what order President Obama issued upon hearing that U.S. diplomats in Benghazi were under fire. She can’t look America in the eye and answer whether the U.S. military was ordered not to rescue Americans fighting for their lives...

President Obama stated to an outside-the-Washington-Beltway reporter that “the minute” he found out what was happening in Benghazi, he sprang into action. “Number one,” the president said, “make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to do.”

Did Obama, in fact, issue such an order? If so, it appears to have been ignored. Shouldn’t someone be fired for insubordination? If no U.S. military assets were available – a big “if” for the sake of argument – why weren’t NATO allies such as Turkey or Britain called on to help? What exactly was the president doing during the eight-hour span of the terror attack?

On Sept. 9 and again on Sept. 10, a YouTube video featuring al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was posted online. In it, Zawahiri exhorted Libyans to attack Americans in revenge for the killing of al-Qaida senior leader Abu Yahya al-Libi. The CIA and other intelligence agencies appear to have ignored this video entirely. Why?

Why was the United States in Benghazi relying on Libyan jihadists for security? ...
