Townhall Finance - Mark Baisley - 5/12/2013
Eight months of information is now being unloaded all at once to the conventional media audience. And those of us who are old enough to remember the good old days of Watergate realize just how confusing these things can be. So to bring everyone up to speed, I offer the following three levels of explanation.CliffsNotes Summary
On September 11, 2012, a Muslim terrorist group stormed the American embassy outpost in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans were killed, including the United States Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens. On the day of the year that radical Islamists are known to celebrate jihad against the United States, the Ambassador was curiously 400 miles away from the fortified American Embassy to Libya in the capital city of Tripoli.
During the eight-hour siege, the only military asset that was afforded to the outpost in Benghazi was a loitering drone that could stream live video back to the Commander-in-chief. [But no one ever said where President Obama was when the Ambassador and three other Americans were being attacked.] A special forces team, anxious to respond, was ordered twice to “Stand down.”
CIA Director David Petraeus at first seemed to concur with the California video story. Soon after, however, his agency published timelines that only supported a planned and effective terrorist attack. Within weeks, Petraeus resigns over the news of an extramarital affair. Some rumor that the Administration held this information over Petraeus’ head. Others contend that Petraeus outed himself and intends to play one more chess move under congressional oath.
The most elaborate conspiracy theory is that Ambassador Stevens was set up to die or get kidnapped. He was directed by Assistant Secretary of State Beth Jones to work out of the consulate on a flare-up day like September 11. Only the Secretary of State has the authority to approve occupancy of a consulate like Benghazi that did not meet the legal security standards.
