So Who is Lying?

“So there was a clear indication there that everyone who had something to say was welcome to provide information to the accountability review board. But, again, with regards to these stories, to our knowledge we’re not aware of any agency that has blocked an employee who would like to appear before Congress." Jay Carney, May 1st, 2013

“I was instructed not to allow the RSO [Regional Security Officer], the acting deputy chief of mission and myself to be personally interviewed by Congressman [Jason] Chaffetz [of Utah],” Gregory Hicks, May 8th, 2013 in reference to a contact made by top Hillary Clinton adviser Cheryl Mills.

“What happened in Benghazi was in fact initially a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in Cairo, almost a copycat of the demonstrations against our facility in Cairo, prompted by the video,” Ambassador Susan Rice, Sept. 16th, 2012

"The YouTube video was a non-event in Libya.” Gregory Hicks, May 8th, 2013

"The White House didn't deny any requests for assistance. Period. Moreover, what the entire government did – the White House, State Department, Intelligence Community, Department of Defense included – was to work to mobilize all available assets and move them into the region as quickly as possible. That’s what the President ordered the Secretary of Defense and Chairman to do the first time he was briefed about these issues." National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor, Nov. 11th, 2012

"As a result of not having (real time) information, the commander who was on the ground in that area, Gen. Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation." Secretary of Defense Leon Penetta, Oct. 26th, 2012

Why was General Ham dismissed from his post?

Why is the Director of the infamous YouTube video still in jail?

Why can't the 4th whistle blower's lawyer get her security clearance reinstated?

Why did 12 revisions to the talking points memo occur before going public?

So many questions...

And for some reason raising questions about this whole this is just being a Right Winged Conspiracy Theorist. "Bin Laden is Dead..." was the first half of the newly minted campaign slogan Joe Biden used just weeks before. Is it such a stretch that this president needed the war on terror to be behind him. That escalations in the region caused by Al-Qaeda linked groups would put a huge dent in his campaign at a time that the race was tightening up?

"..and General Motors is alive." was the other corner stone of the Obama campaign going into September, but hiring was slowing down and the economic picture was still pretty bleak. In a white house that had a campaign staffer at every corner, is it so hard to see this scenario play out that Obama needed to maintain the perception that he had vanquished our enemies for good.

Incompetency? Denial? Lies? There has to be an explanation  Until someone comes out and answers these questions, conspiracy theories and speculation is all we have.
