On the night of September 11, 2012, a heavily armed group of Muslim terrorists attacked the American Consulate in Benghazi Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and another diplomat. This was followed by an attack the next day against another U.S. station nearby the following day. The Obama administration quickly said the incident was a result of a protest over an anti-Islam YouTube video that got out of control but the evidence and witnesses declared the event a terrorist attack almost immediately after it happened.
National security adviser Susan Rice [...] said the attack was nothing more than a spontaneous demonstration that got out of hand over an anti-Muslim video, rather than terrorists.
Prior to the attacks Ambassador Stevens repeatedly requested more security at the consulate and that security was repeatedly denied. The Ambassador had received multiple threats which he felt were to be taken seriously.
- Tyrone Woods - Navy S.E.A.L. fallen hero
- Glen Doherty - Navy S.E.A.L. fallen hero
- Chris Stevens - U.S. Ambassador assigned to consulate in Benghazi who asked Hillary Clinton for more security. He died in the attack.
- Sean Smith -
- David Ubben -
- Susan Rice - National Security Adviser who misinformed American public about the attack on the Consulate, likely under the direction of Hillary Clinton
- Hillary Clinton - Secretary of State who ignored requests for increased security for the Benghazi Consulate, likely instructed Susan Rice to give the false report about the attack being a demonstration over a video, and faked a concussion to avoid testifying about Benghazi at the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing. Clinton is where responsibility for the dead Americans in Benghazi rests.
Secretary Clinton had been scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill about the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, in September that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador when she conveniently sustained a concussion after becoming dehydrated and fainting December 16, 2012. On January 23, 2013 former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?"
Congressman Devin Nunes, who serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told the press that "I’ve met with the Benghazi survivors numerous times, the guys who saved everbody from getting killed. They knew it was a terrorist attack. All the other officials on the ground that night, they knew it was a terrorist attack. I watched the video, over-and-over again, it’s clear that it was a planned and well-orchestrated attack. There was never any demonstration whatsoever, and I believe that they all knew that, and Susan Rice had to know that. If not, she was just a useful idiot in the process."
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released a report that determined the attack, and the deaths of four Americans, could have been prevented. Former Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli Gregory Hicks was one of the last persons to talk to Ambassador Stevens before he was killed. Hicks has since expressed his frustration with the Obama administration's portrayal of the facts surrounding the attacks and recent accusations that Ambassador Stevens was responsible for his own death. During congressional testimony Hicks said the YouTube video was a "non-event" in Libya and said his jaw hit the floor when he learned the administration was blaming the attack on a video. Hicks, second-in-command to Stevens in Libya, was on the ground in Tripoli when the attack occurred and reported directly to Clinton immediately that the consulate was under attack. He never reported a protest.
