Benghazi

Benghazi


Amazing how many people have no idea what happened that night. In a sand-filled hellhole town, in a country where the US government thought they knew what was best, a total of four American heroes lost their lives defending a group of buildings that were less well protected than your local bank.

Ambassador Chris Stevens. Kidnapped. Raped. Strangled. Beaten. Drug through the streets like an animal. Left at the local hospital where someone found a phone on him and dialed a number that rang on Tripoli, who heard them describe the Ambassador.

Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith. Died in a smoke filled building. Alone. After phone calls to the embassy in Tripoli went unanswered, because "no one recognized the number".

Senior Security Operatives and former SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty. Provided defensive support from a rooftop for an hour, against a group of radical Islamists. Killed on that same rooftop by mortar fire.

The US government, on multiple levels, has deliberately lied to the world about what happened that night. UN Ambassador Susan Rice parade the network Sunday talk shows, pimping lies about an :outrageous anti-Muslim video" that everyone in Benghazi save one had never heard of. Congressional panel hearings were aired live, and we watched Deputy Chief of Mission -Tripoli break down when he repeated the story. We watched the now former Secretary of State and probably future Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton rail that it was "just some guys out for a walk and decided to kill some Americans, what difference does it make now?"

Former Federal prosecutor turned Congressman from Trey Gowdy will lead a Select Committee this fall to further investigate this coverup. There isn't anyone I know of in government that I would trust to uncover the truth more than him.

Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty. Don't ever forget those names. Be ready to remember the ones Trey Gowdy gives us when this is over. They're the ones whose heads should end up on pikes.
