True disgrace

Editor:

The disgrace of the Benghazi affair is that the lives of our civil servants and soldiers were subordinated to Barack Obama’s re-election.

When over 600 pleas were sent out for help the pundits in the situation room in Washington were debating whether the soldiers should come to the aid of the embassy in their uniforms or in their civilian clothes, so they had them change four times, from military to civilian and from civilian to military and so on. The reasoning behind all this nonsense was that soldiers in uniform might offend the Libyan government.

Because of the delay, our embassy was stormed and our ambassador and his colleagues were tortured, stripped naked and dragged through the streets and finally beheaded.

This attack was well planned using rockets, mortars, grenade launchers and machine guns. Now prior to all this, Obama had told the American public that Al Quaeda and Isis were on the run and no longer a threat.

His re-election was only 60 days away, so the preppies in the situation room decided to tell us that it was a spontaneous attack provoked by an offensive video put on the internet by one of our own. So the nerds searched the internet and after reviewing hundreds of postings offensive to Muslims, finally selected one that would fit the bill. Just to make things look good the poor dupe who posted the video was arrested and jailed for hate speech.

Now that this cock and bull story was concocted it was Susan Rice’s job to go on TV and advance the narrative. Hillary Clinton’s task would be to go to the funerals of the fallen Benghazi heroes, embrace their relatives and mourners, shed some crocodile tears, manage to sob a little and tell them, “We’re going to get the guy who made this video.” David O. Selznick himself would have marveled at her performance.

Just like the sinking of the Titanic, the Benghazi fiasco will go down in history as a night to remember but a night of infamy, as well.
