As I and many others have been saying Benghazi is a very big deal and getting bigger by the moment. The White House flat out lied about the events. They knew it was an attack, they were warned before the attack, and yet doing nothing a US Ambassasdor and three others were killed, our flag ripped down and burned and an Al Qaeda flag was flow in it’s place and this administration continued the lies and the spin until they were exposed.
Then they threw Hillary Clinton under the bus.
“Top officials have already claimed the nation’s intelligence agencies did not alert the White House to the growing danger facing the State Department’s facility in Benghazi, Libya, which was destroyed Sept. 11 by a jihadi attack on the 11th anniversary of the atrocities in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
The claim was repeated Oct. 11 by Vice President Joe Biden during the vice presidential debate in Danville, Ky. “We weren’t told they wanted more security,” he announced.
Ben Rhodes, President Barack Obama’s deputy national security adviser for communications, extended the claim Oct. 11 by telling told Foreign Policy magazine that neither Biden nor President Barack Obama knew of the growing danger.
“Biden speaks only for himself and the president and neither of them knew about the requests at the time,” Rhodes said, according to Foreign policy.
“These kinds of issues are handling in the State Department by security officials,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said during Friday’s press briefing.
Security matters “are decided at the State Department,” he said, amid tough questioning from Fox News Channel’s Ed Henry.
The White House’s statements leaves Hillary Clinton on the hook, because she runs the Department of State.”
Of course they do, but they don’t absolved the President, Vice President of the ulimate responsibility to protect our people aboard, nor from lying about it when things go bad.
Alex Pappas of the Daily Caller tells us:
“With tensions between President Obama and the Clintons at a new high, former President Bill Clinton is moving fast to develop a contingency plan for how his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, should react if Obama attempts to tie the Benghazi fiasco around her neck, according to author Ed Klein.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, Klein said sources close to the Clintons tell him that Bill Clinton has assembled an informal legal team to discuss how the Secretary of State should deal with the issue of being blamed for not preventing the Benghazi terrorist attack last month.
Make no mistake there has always been bad blood between the Clintons and the Obamas and it’s about to come to a head as Obama – doing what he does best, blame others, blames them for the fiasco at Benghazi.
Going to be fun watching the fireworks ensue.

1Mac, the White House has tried throwing out the meme that it was poor “intel” that lead them to say the Benghazi attack was just the final event of protests over an internet video. But I suspect that it is unwise to attack the spooks and lay the blame at their feet (don’t you know General Petreaus has put Jake Tapper on speed dial?) and things have a way of leaking from Langley without being traced back to the leaker. i.e. don’t mess with Intel, it ain’t wise.
Now, the Oval Office still needs someone to roll the Obama bus over because Americans are pretty upset over the deaths of four Americans. So the powers there (Valerie Jarrett, in particular) needs to find a new scapegoat. Well, hello Hillary.
Yeah, there is bad blood between the Clintons and the Obamas, but for “the good of the party” the Clintons have played along with Obama. But there is one thing Bill Clinton is not willing to give up and that is his position as senior stateman and go-to guy for the DNC and he is not about to let Hillary, who reflects on him, take the fall for any guy that Bubba said in previous times would have been bringing him (Bubba) coffee.
So why the cover up? Why is no one asking what Stevens was doing in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9-11? Is it because the Oval Office did not want the public to know that it had secretly given arms to the Libyan rebels without knowing who those rebels were?
I suspect this was Fast and Furious, Libyan Style. And that the Administration made up the “video” story trying to play the old shell game. Look over here, not over there.
