THE QUESTIONS WON’T GO AWAY, SPONTANEOUS OR PREMEDITATED!


THE QUESTIONS WON’T GO AWAY, SPONTANEOUS OR PREMEDITATED!

(FRAZER CHRONICLE)

(All the News That Nobody Else Will Print)

 

Here we go again, it’s in the phonics of the thing, or at least that’s what the scholarly that, at the present time, occupy the offices on Capitol Hill. Two other words come to mind, rectify and justification, politicians either say, or think of ways to explain their existence, so that they won’t have to back-up to the pay window on the 15th and 31st of the month to collect their paychecks.

The issue is almost like a soap opera that my mother used to watch, The Guiding Light. She lived and died every day at noon, thank God it was only on television Monday through Friday. I never even watched a segment, but I sure heard enough from my Mom, but I did get the gist of the plot, regular life experiences that were modified at least 10 times to better hold the viewers attention.

I’d compare The Guiding Light with the GOP’s radical interest in the Benghazi investigation that seems to be shifting into high gear…..and will never go away, at least until it does it’s kind of hidden (ha ha) agenda, to kick the crap out of Hilary Clinton’s possible run for the presidency in 2016.

The number of Benghazi investigations, according to whomever you listen to, is as few as eight and as many as fifty. People that list these kinds of things do so with great trepidation (on purpose), because they know that they are imparting on many of those who except as fact the guesses of these people. After all…..guessing is all that is happening; only people in high places, in government, or some in the business community are privy to the actual numbers.

THE QUESTIONS WON’T GO AWAY

Did the Obama administration mislead the American people when it was initially claimed that the September 11, 2012 was a spontaneous protest and attack on the U.S. consulate in response to an anti-Muslim video, or was it a premeditated terrorist attack. That was the first questions that were asked by the wives, friends, fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers of those dead from the attack.

It didn’t matter why the carnage, degradation, and the murders happened, all the survivors knew was that their loved ones, friends and working colleagues had been killed by bullets, or bombs. The phonics of what had happened didn’t enter their minds. I’m sure that most understood that where these people were going was dangerous…..and that anything could happen, and sadly, for the survivors…..it did.

I’ll be the first to admit that answers would be needed, that people needed to be held responsible for the deaths of four people. To be sure, somebody in the Obama administration, in the State Department, the CIA, and other intelligence agencies guessed that something like what happened on September 11th 2012 was possible. How to deter what happened was quite a different story, and therein lays the problem.

According to the information that I have…..this is the same information that anybody else has…..if they take the time to research the incident is that there were no protesters prior to the attack, and that five days after the attack (on September 16th), Libya President Mohamed Magariaf insisted that the attack was a planned terrorist attack, but that Obama administration officials continued to say that there was no evidence of a planned attack.

The President of Libya said that the assertion by the Americans that the attack was a spontaneous protest that spun out of control is completely unfounded and in fact preposterous. On an appearance on the David Letterman show on September 18 (a week after the attack) President Obama continued to state that terrorists weren’t involved.

On September 19th, Matt Olsen (no relation to Superman’s Jimmy Olsen), director of the National Counterterrorism Center finally called the attack an act of terrorism, and that it had been a planned event, this admission to a congressional hearing, and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton did the same on September 20. However on September 20th at a town hall meeting, and during a taping of ”The View” on September 24th, Obama continued to deny that the attack was spontaneous…..and in fact, “yes…..elephants could fly.”

Actually the important questions are few, and really simple, and they have nothing to do with which side of the aisle that one sits on. The quest for gathering fodder for political reasons is silly, despicable, and frankly makes me tired. Four American citizens were killed during September 11, 2012, however they weren’t murdered…..Libya was, and is, a war zone, just because American troops aren’t on the ground doesn’t matter, gun battles happen all over the place in Benghazi, in Libya…..American’s had better wake up to the fact that we no longer hold that type of world power.

Around 3:00 P.M. a security agent at the Benghazi compound hears loud noises coming at the front gate and gunfire and an explosion. On a security camera at the main gate reveals a large number people (armed people) flowing into the compound. By about 8:30 P.M. control of the American embassy had been regained, and the discovery of the dead was reported to the U.S. State Department by 10:00 P.M.

JUST THE FACTS PLEASE

Like I said, let’s stop our elected officials from organizing and then going on witch hunts to damage the credibility of either elected or appointed officials. These investigation committees do little to ferret out the truth; they do however damage those people that they go after.

What these committees do is, first and foremost, waste taxpayer funds and blur the real issues that need to be addressed. United States Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is all het up to find out the guilty parties in the Benghazi event. I have a simple prescription, Ron, use the following criteria, and you’ll have your answers, and it won’t take much time, and won’t waste much of my tax dollar.

Here are Johnson’s two topics for his reasoning for renewed efforts to investigate Benghazi…..and the accompanying solutions;

1. State Department…..(AKA) Hilary Clinton, (Secretary of State) failed to honor repeated requests for additional security.

It response to requests by Chris Stevens for additional security personnel, neither the Secretary, Hilary Clinton, or any member of the State Department responded with the additional personal. The failure to address this problem is, well…..a failure. But where that failure lies is open to debate when one considers that the area was a cauldron for terrorists, political and religious activists, thugs, and roving gangs of opportunists ready to take advantage of a poor situation. Consider that maybe our people should have been taken out of the area completely…..would that have solved the situation?

2. Did the State Department before September 11, 2012, actually reduce security in Libya?

With the number of advisors, I wonder which person one would actually point a finger at…..it’s the D.C. two step. People are put into complicated, almost impossible situations that…..in many instances NOBODY is capable of making decisions on. Would removing all personnel to a safe place, maybe like Brooklyn, New York have worked…..I don’t know, but my idea has merit.

There is no quick answer, what happened at Benghazi was a screw-up, of that there is no doubt, but military and security foul-ups have been going on almost forever, and with little exception nobody was held responsible…..it’s the nature of the beast that is named the United States. I could list past leaders, and talk about their mess-ups…..but it would do no good. Anyways…..we already know what was a screw-up, it’s been identified…..so can we move on, already, in this case, what happened was SPONTANIOUS AND PREMEDITATED.

 

HAVE A NICE DAY!
