Audacity of Truth
Marginalizing Terror:
"Why? Whether it’s al Qaeda Central, or two twisted, perverted, cowardly knock-off jihadists here in Boston. Why do they do what they do?”

Benghazi Consulate Massacre: a word of caution about those emails
**Posted by Phineas Yesterday I wrote about emails sent from Libya to the State Department and the White House, among others, indicating that an al Qaeda subsidiary, Ansar al Sharia, had taken credit for the assault on our consulate that resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans. These emails seemed to [...]
Benghazi consulate massacre: Obama knew who did it within two hours and lied to us. UPDATE: emails withheld from Senate?
**Posted by Phineas Dear Mr. President: Let this be a teaching moment for you not to throw the intelligence and foreign service communities under the bus. They know things you’d rather be kept secret. Try to make them the fall guys, and those things will …somehow… become public: Officials at the White House and State [...]
Benghazi Consulate Massacre: where was the military help? UPDATE: “Not a foreign policy failure”
**Posted by Phineas One of the unanswered questions surrounding the assault on our consulate in Benghazi is why no rescue mission was launched. We already know that multiple requests from the ambassador and others for heightened security –or even to keep the security they had– were turned down by the State Department. Two former Navy [...]
Benghazi Consulate Massacre: the White House lied, there was no anti-video protest
**Posted by Phineas For nearly two weeks after the murder of four Americans in an attack on our consulate in Benghazi, the White House, our Ambassador to the United Nations, and the Secretary of State repeatedly claimed, with variations, that the massacre arose from a protest against an anti-Islamic video that either got out of [...]
Benghazi Consulate Massacre: Embassy told by State, “Stop pestering us!”
**Posted by Phineas Oh, this just gets better and better. Not only did State pull security teams (note: plural) from Libya over a period of months, but, according to an interview of LTC Wood by CBS’ Sharyl Attkisson (1), State finally told them to quit asking, and don’t you dare go to the Department of [...]
Benghazi Consulate Massacre: US Ambassador asked for Special Forces, State said “no”
**Posted by Phineas I know he said it in the context of Operation Fast and Furious, but Congressman Darrell Issa’s description of that fiasco as “felony stupid” applies just as much to this fiasco: Lt. Col. Andy Wood, the former head of a Special Forces “Site Security Team,” said in a pair of interviews that [...]
Benghazi consulate massacre: State Dept. turned down repeated requests for more security
**Posted by Phineas Dear God, it’s as if they were asking for a hit: “Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the [...]
Benghazi consulate massacre: White House knew it was a terrorist attack, lied about it
**Posted by Phineas Fox News is also reporting what Eli Lake reported yesterday: the administration knew within 24 hours of the jihadist attack in Benghazi that it was not demonstration that just got out of control: U.S. intelligence officials knew within 24 hours of the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that it was [...]
Benghazi consulate massacre: White House knew within 24 hours it was a terrorist attack
**Posted by Phineas It was on September 11th, 2012, that our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and a supposedly secret safe house there were attacked by jihadists allied with al Qaeda. Our ambassador was raped and murdered. Three other Americans died in the slaughter. For over a week after the attack, spokespeople for the Obama Administration, [...]
To Obama, they’re just “bumps in the road.” Just “noise.”
**Posted by Phineas That’s how President Obama, in a 60 Minutes interview yesterday, tried to brush off the assaults on our embassies in the Near East and North Africa that lead to the deaths of our Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. “Bumps in the road.” Here’s the video: I’m sure the families of [...]
