Benghazi is back

We are hearing a lot about Benghazi again lately, why is that, why does it matter?   The American people & I’m not talking republican or democrat, need to understand the bond that exists between the government and those who have chosen or have been appointed the honor of protecting our human assets in the world.  Whether they be CIA or active military, these people have swore an oath to die if necessary to protect those who serve our country abroad.  There are no odds too big nor conditions too bad to keep them from their sworn duty.  I know it must be tough for many to understand if you have never served but for those veterans who have stepped up in the face of enemy fire it matters.   We have heard Ms Clinton and President Obama, Susan Rice and Secretary Kerry all do their best to cover up their actions of that day.  First blaming the video about Mohamed for the rioting for days and weeks after the event while in fact knowing the truth and the seriousness of the situation.  We have heard from the families of those killed that night that this was what was told to them by Secretary Clinton and the President the day the bodies were returned at the Anderson AFB ceremony.  Are they lying?  What is the families motive to lie?  We have heard Ms Clinton ask “What does it matter” before the Congressional Committee.  The fact that the men who were there were held up for several hours because they were told to stand down and no responsibility for that order has been found screams cover up.  The fact that they had assets in the area that could have responded but again were not called upon tells a story in itself.  Political motivation, assessing the political damage from the top if it’s called a terror attack days before the election, the fact that they had a video stream in the White House coming from a drone circling the compound and were listening to the pleas of those on the ground by secure radio, tells me that their political motivation outweighed their compassion for those who they had sent into harms way.  Depending on your political views you may see it different.  No one wants to believe our government is so corrupt and self serving.  This one event has affected the attitude everything from the Secret Service officers to the CIA Operatives still working in the field.  Coming at a time when again politics had been used politically to attack the same people over their methods of obtaining information from terror suspects.  This has left our flank in the Middle East wide open.  Who in their right mind would want to be a field operator knowing that no one had their back.  Knowing that political power was more important to this group than the lives of those who served them.  Yes Benghazi is important because it tells a story of character, of bravery and of treachery from those who were supposed to care.   

 
As Americans we have the duty to call out those who would subvert any attempt to get to the truth by lying to protect their political power.  I don’t care what political party your affiliation is with, remember one thing being an American, a citizen of the United States your most important duty is to the protection of our freedom and our way of life.  Many of our politicians in each party have been corrupted by power and the money of Washington and will fight to maintain their position even to the point of subverting the rights of the people they have sworn to serve.  Turning to Socialism & expanding the power base in Washington is not the answer, just the opposite, only by returning power back to the States and therefore the people by reducing the vast over reach of the government will it destroy the corruption and power base that thrives in Washington today.  God Bless America, we desperately need help from above.
