SOMEONE LIED AND PEOPLE DIED

I remember back when George Bush was President, the Democrat’s favorite slogan was “Bush Lied and People Died”.  

The Democrats used that slogan in an attempt to propagate the false notion that the reason we were at war in Iraq was because the President had lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.  The truth was, Congress had access to the very same intelligence information as the President, and based upon that information, THEY VOTED in favor of the war.

Republicans now need to revive that slogan until Congress gets to the truth about Benghazi. 

Everyone with half a brain knows full well that President Obama lied to the American people, plain and simple.  He stood in the Rose Garden on September 12, 2012 and refused to call the attack on our Benghazi consulate a terrorist attack.  What did the Commander in Chief do in the days following the Benghazi attack?  He went around the country and blamed the attack on an out-of-control protest in response to a low-budget YouTube video.  That was a lie! 

Barack Obama won re-election on a campaign slogan that “al-Qaeda was on the run.”  He repeated that phrase for over a year on the campaign trail.  So, of course, when a well -coordinated terrorist attack took place in a country Obama claimed to have ‘democratized’ and ended up killing a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, Obama covered it up.  He played the waiting game, as he always does.  

And, it wasn’t JUST Obama, Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of Obama’s cronies stood before the country and the world and continued to push a narrative they all knew to be a lie.  They did this to protect the President’s “tough-on-terrorism” narrative during an election year! 

We are sick and tired of being lied to!   We are sick and tired of elected officials looking us in the eyes and lying because they think we’re too stupid to realize it! 

We know that the military commanders instantly knew it was a terrorist attack; we know that these military leaders informed Sec. of Defense Leon Panetta that it was a terrorist attack; and we also know that Leon Panetta briefed the President on the incident for thirty minutes.  The only thing we don’t know yet is whether Leon Panetta told the President that a terrorist attack was taking place in Benghazi. 

All Americans must take a stand and demand that Congress ask Leon Panetta this one simple question, under oath “Did you tell Obama that Benghazi was a terrorist attack?”   Why have they not yet done that?  Because YOU haven’t put their feet to the fire and forced them to! 

Obama lied about Benghazi and 4 Americans died! You MUST force Congress to subpoena Sec. of Defense Leon Panetta to prove, once and for all, that Obama knew it was a terrorist attack all along and lied to save his hide! 

You don’t have to be a military genius to know that people don’t usually show up to demonstrations with machine guns, rocket launchers, or mortars, and spontaneous attacks seldom have ambush points and pre-planned “kill zones.” 

Benghazi wasn’t an accident and it wasn’t some protest gone awry.  This was a well-orchestrated terrorist attack perpetrated by Islamic extremists that claimed the lives of 4 brave Americans.  It took place on the anniversary of 9/11, for goodness sake… and the Obama administration still claims that it couldn’t see through the ‘fog of war’ and recognize the attack for what it was. 

We already know that military commanders briefed Leon Panetta that Benghazi was a terrorist attack.  That much was revealed during General Carter Ham’s testimony before Congress.  But every time Obama is asked whether he was briefed on the fact that it was a terrorist attack, he abruptly changes the subject! 

We can put an end to this NOW!  Congress must subpoena former Sec. of Defense Leon Panetta!  He is the key to uncovering this whole scandal! 

Leon Panetta was briefed by his commanders that the Benghazi attack was an act of terrorism.  Panetta’s job is to literally relay this EXACT information upwards to the President.  One of the only things we don’t know about the entire Benghazi response is what Panetta told President Obama. 

If Panetta told the President that it was a terrorist attack, then Obama’s Presidency is over.  For far too long, we have allowed Obama to feign ignorance and claim that he knew nothing about the scandals rocking this administration. Whenever scandal hits, Obama seems to just claim he knows nothing about it. 

We MUST not allow Obama to continue dodging the truth!   He must not be allowed to continue to disgrace the brave men who sacrificed their lives in Benghazi! 

We know for an absolute fact that Leon Panetta talked to the President for 30-minutes.  We know for a fact that Panetta briefed the President on what the military commanders relayed to him.  Every ounce of common sense suggests that Leon Panetta told Barack Obama that terrorists were attacking our consulate in Benghazi, Libya. 
  
Regardless of what his testimony reveals, we will learn one of two things: Either the Secretary of Defense misled the President by failing to pass on the intelligence gathered by our military commanders, OR the President knew Benghazi was a terrorist attack from the beginning and deliberately misled the American people! 

In the aftermath of any attack, we must always examine whether the systems we have in place actually worked to fully brief the President.  If Panetta did not mention that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack, then we need to restructure the President’s advisory system to ensure that he always has up-to-the-minute intelligence. 

But if, as everyone assumes, Leon Panetta told President Obama that a terrorist attack was taking place in Benghazi, then everything that Barack Obama and his underlings said in the weeks following the attack were COMPLETE LIES! 

Only Congress can subpoena Leon Panetta and force him to testify on the record and since he is no longer in the Obama administration, the Democrats can’t stop him from testifying! 

This is a call to action!  I am begging you and every American Citizen to call, Fax, or email Congress and FORCE them to put Leon Panetta on the stand! 

SOMEONE LIED AND PEOPLE DIED

And I think I know who that someone is…
