FBI Can’t Get to Benghazi Because of “Security Fears”
President Obama has promised to bring the perpetrators of the Benghazi terrorist attack to justice, but over two weeks after the attack the FBI still hasn’t made it to Benghazi. According to the New York Times, it’s because the security situation in Benghazi is too unstable:
Sixteen days after the death of four Americans in an attack on a United States diplomatic mission here, fears about the near-total lack of security have kept F.B.I. agents from visiting the scene of the killings and forced them to try to piece together the complicated crime from Tripoli, more than 400 miles away.
Investigators are so worried about the tenuous security, people involved in the investigation say, that they have been unwilling to risk taking some potential Libyan witnesses into the American Embassy in Tripoli. Instead, the investigators have resorted to the awkward solution of questioning some witnesses in cars outside the embassy, which is operating under emergency staffing and was evacuated of even more diplomats on Thursday because of a heightened security alert.
This is mind-boggling. We are talking about a terrorist attack, carried out on American soil, on the anniversary of 9/11. And yet the FBI can’t even carry out a full investigation. The Times reports that even if law enforcement officials are eventually able to make it to the consulate, the unsecured “crime scene” has been so badly trampled that it may be impossible to collect evidence to use against the terrorists.
SNIP: CNN managed to get in and take the Ambassador’s diary. Just sayin’.

9-16-2012 (Ambassador Susan) ‘Rice said the FBI is examining the attack, saying their investigation “will tell us with certainty what transpired.” –Jake Tapper
If you go back and watch the 5 Sunday morning news shows, you’ll see a very smug and defiant Ambassador Rice.
Did I mention ‘smug’?

Well, that is a very true statement:
The security of Barack Obama’s re-election is at stake and they are fearful that if the FBI gets to the bottom of it, he will lose for yet one more reason.

Maybe Obama doesn’t WANT any evidence found…

Unlike other embassies around the world, Rice said there were no Marines present last week to protect the consulate in Benghazi, or the main U.S. embassy in Tripoli, saying the U.S. presence there is “relatively new”.
Oh, OK.

But Rice said there was a “substantial security presence” at the consulate in Benghazi, noting that two of the four Americans killed there were providing security.
Dirty filthy LIAR!

“But the president has been very clear. The protection of American personnel and facilities is and will remain our top priority,” Rice added. “That’s why we’ve reinforced our presence in Tripoli and elsewhere.”
Way to go. Don’t blame us. After every four deaths, we reinforce another degree.

The Americans who died are nothing more than collateral damage in the Obama administration’s attempt to secure re-election with their outright lying and obfuscation.
Another 4 years of this arrogant tyrant and America will suffer irreparable damage.

If the GOP was smart (!?) they’d press HARD post haste for Obama’s impeachment even right here before THE election of all time. If even the message that Americans will NOT settle for a whole host of cover-ups and lies from this evil regime went viral perhaps at least SOME of the dumbasses would wake up and rethink who they’re going to cast their ballot for.
Nixon and Slick Willie at least had to buckle under the will of the people for their cover ups and lies—and no one died in their cases.
WHEN will people wake up and see this evil, treasonous sack of seditious shit for what he is.
As always: where the eff is the OUTRAGE and where are those who are SUPPOSED to be representing us in Congress???

Fast and Furious, embassy attacks, this incompetent administration view their policies as faultless and unquestionable. Deaths of innocent people are just “bumps in the road”, like that of a Nicaraguan dictator.
Lying, tax stealing, extortionists, that are accessories to murder.
It will be even more blatant and prevalent if these marxist are allowed to stay in another term, good bye any rule of law

What a bunch of pu$$ies. According to Eric Holder it’s just a typical case of workplace violence by a few lone wolf mis-understanders of islam. Send Holder and a few US attorneys to sort it out.

For starters, let’s stop calling this “a terrorist attack” or “an attack on our embassy” because it was a deliberate assassination of the US Ambassador to Libya. Calling this anything less gives cover to the incompetence that allowed this to happen in the first place, and continued with the “evolving” story out of the Regime.
The way this is still being portrayed, it sounds like the deaths of four Americans was an unfortunate side result of the attack. If this was a well prepared and outfitted attack, then it was a deliberately planned hit on our Ambassador, IOTW an assassination.
