Obama's
Emptiest Benghazi Talking
Point
Michelle Malkin
May 17, 2013
On
Sept. 12, 2012, President Barack
Obama vowed to "bring to justice" the perpetrators of the deadly
attack in Benghazi, Libya. On Oct. 26, 2012, Obama said his "biggest
priority" was bringing the "folks" in Libya responsible for
murdering four Americans to "justice." Tick, tock, tick, tock.
While
White House press secretary
Jay Carney sneers at the GOP's "obsession" with what went wrong at
the besieged Libyan consulate, Obama continues to ply his emptiest
talking
point. On May 13, 2013, more than eight months after the bloody
disaster, Obama
snippily reminded reporters that he had told us all back in September
that
"we would find out what happened, we would make sure that it did not
happen again, and we would make sure that we held accountable those who
had
perpetrated this terrible crime."
Woulda,
coulda, shoulda. Justice
delayed is justice denied.
A
little more "obsession"
from this administration with hunting down the jihadist killers would
be a good
thing. How about a little more anger directed at the perpetrators and a
little
less rage aimed at the conservative press? Nah. Team Obama seems more
singularly focused on blaming its opponents, smearing whistleblowers
and
deriding those who are trying to hold the president to his words,
words, words.
Perhaps
with their newfound
skepticism toward the lying liars of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the
former
lapdogs of the White House press corps will start asking questions like
this:
Where the hell is Sufyan Ben Qumu a.k.a. Abu Sufian bin Qumu?
Qumu,
a suspected Libyan Islamic
Fighting Group militant with ties to the financiers of the 9/11/01
attacks, was
held at Guantanamo Bay for six years. The Bush administration foolishly
handed
him over to the Gadhafi regime on the promise that he would remain
imprisoned.
In 2010, Qumu was granted amnesty and released.
Contrary
to the delusions of the
International Gitmo Bleeding Hearts Fan Club, the supposedly poor and
oppressed
Qumu did not content himself with writing poetry or farming potatoes. A
week
after the 9/11/12 attack, the Ansar al-Sharia leader was named a
possible chief
plotter in the deadly terrorist assault on our consulate personnel,
staff and
private security contractors in Benghazi. In April, international media
outlets
reported widely that Qumu had survived an assassination bid…
