Tom Clancy, Yo! Here's a Good Story

Stranger than fiction....

Monica Crowley, writing for the Center for Security Policy, asks the questions that the press and maybe even Congress isn't asking (but needs to): 

Wonder why we're getting a drip-drip-drip of wild new details every day? To keep us distracted. The sex scandal is a mess, but it's not the mess that matters. What matters is what happened in Benghazi, Libya on September 11 that resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including two Navy SEALS, a longtime foreign service officer, and the personal representative of the President of the United States, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. 
Here are a few of the critical questions that REALLY matter: 
1. As has been reported by Aaron Klein and others, the U.S. compound in Benghazi was NOT a consulate.  It was a "mission" of some sort, and it looks increasingly likely that the CIA was running the show there.  What was the CIA doing in Benghazi? 
2. What were Stevens and the others doing at that CIA mission late into the evening? 
3. Before he was killed that fateful night, Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods rescued scores of Americans from the compound. Who were they?  What were they doing in Benghazi? 
4.  Woods sprung into action to try to save the Ambassador and others despite being given the order to "stand down." Who gave the "stand down" order? Did Obama approve it? 
5.  Who repeatedly denied their requests for help as they were under attack? Who was watching the attack unfold in real time back in Washington? 
6. Who dreamt up the fiction that the attack was inspired by some obscure video? And who sent out top administration officials, including U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and CIA Director David Petraeus, among others, to spin and perpetuate the fiction-for weeks? 
7.  MOST IMPORTANTLY: What is this administration REALLY covering up?

The title of Crowley's article is, "The Real Questions are Still About Benghazi, Not the Petraeus Sex Scandal." Read the seven sub-questions listed under item 7, above. The implications are startling and would explain why the Obama administration is going to such extremes to hide, conceal, distract, even lie to protect itself.
