I have chosen my words very, very
carefully. There is a difference between not telling the truth or
only telling partial truth and therefore lacking veracity, and
deliberately speaking words that are false.
Benghazi (part 1)
Many are clamoring for the truth about
what happened that night, which resulted in the death of 4 Americans,
including the ambassador. Upon being questioned, O said that we need
an investigation. Technically, this is true. However, such is not
necessary to reveal the facts: all O has to do is tell us what
happened that night: what was he briefed on, whom did he speak to,
what did he know and when, what instructions did he issue, and what
was the situation when he went to bed that night? See, there is a
suspicion that he (or one of his minions acting on his instructions)
issued a Presidential Order to US military and intelligence assets to
stand down and do nothing. He is not revealing his actions that
night, either because he fears a domestic political backlash or an
international Islamic one (or both). This is not telling a lie,
moreover, other presidents have done exactly the same thing when
backed into a corner.
Benghazi (part 2)
We have not heard
the stories or accounts from anyone involved that night at the
Embassy. There are rumors that there might be as many as half a dozen
lawyers representing the witnesses and gov't employees who wish to
tell their stories.
Why lawyers?
Because they have
been threatened and issued muzzling orders, and prohibited from
speaking, even to Congress. Such an order must have come directly
from the Oval Office, as a cabinet secretary on his/her own cannot
issues such orders unless it is issued by or explicitly approved
directly by the White House.
Upon questioning about this, O said
that he is “not familiar” with such a thing. These are false words, and
he is telling a lie.
I point out another president who,
likewise, consciously spoke false words: Clinton, who stated
unequivocally that he “did not have sexual relations” with
a young intern. His lie was revealed when his, ahem, “substance”
was discovered on a blouse of the woman in question. He was
impeached, but not removed from office, for his lie.
