The Obama Administration's Mishandling of the Benghazi Terror Attacks

On September 11th, 2012, 11 years after the 9/11 Twin Tower attacks, 4 people at the United States Embassy in Benghazi, Libya died including a United States Ambassador (the first Ambassador to die while on duty since 1979). When you consider who to vote for as the next President of the United States remember that the Obama Administration brought home 16 United States security agents just before the attack despite a dangerous situation at the Embassy (2 recent attacks at the Embassy and an attack on the United Kingdom Ambassador's motorcade), ignored requests for increased security despite direct attacks on the Embassy (even while the United Kingdom withdrew their Ambassador and Staff from their Embassy in Libya), denied 3 requests for help by those who were under attack for 12 hours at the Embassy and Annex despite having forces available just a few miles away and a ship just off the coast, and then flat out lied for two weeks about a riot breaking out relating to a demonstration about a video when there was no such riot. The Administration knew it was a terrorist attack, but that didn't play into the narrative that Obama had Al Qaeda on the run. A live feed of the attack was available and communication between the Embassy and Annex was fluid and clear with Washington D.C.. The Administration knew the truth, but lied anyways. Even a military drone was flying overhead during the attack. The Administration put people in harms way for political reasons and that is disgraceful. Whether it was the Administration ignoring the reality of the terrorist threat in Libya or trying to create a false alternate reality in order to down play Islamic Terrorism and the situation in Libya for the American voters, the Administration is at fault and heads should roll. If you don't think the Obama Administration cares about the politics ask yourself why Obama went campaigning the next day to Nevada. It's almost always politics with Obama. Don't you want a President that serves others and not himself? 

Keep this in mind what transpired throughout the Benghazi attacks and after when you are in the voting booth this November 6th.
