Obama and Hillary own Benghazi and ISIS.
Via Town Hall:
President Obama famously said of ISIS, “The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think it is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant.”
His flippant attitude toward the terrorist group that formed and grew into a global threat on his watch is but one of countless pieces of evidence the president has no interest in addressing Islamic terrorism in any serious manner.
This week we got more reminders of how unseriously the Obama administration takes the threat of terrorism. In a week where more innocent people were slaughtered in Istanbul, Turkey, Obama spent more time talking about Donald Trump than the attack on a NATO ally.
Worse was the release of the House Select Committee on Benghazi’s report.
The report, which Democrats tried to undercut by releasing their own report a day early – a report which mentioned Donald Trump more times than Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, the two former Navy SEALs killed in the attack, COMBINED – painted a disturbing picture of just how uninterested the president is when it comes to the most important part of his job.
Say what you will about Trump, he bears no responsibility for the terrorist attack on Obama’s watch. That falls fully onto the lap of the commander-in-chief, who appears to have been absent on the night of the attack.
According to the report, unrefuted by Democrats, the president ordered Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to do whatever necessary to help Ambassador Christopher Stevens and those under attack at the US consulate in Benghazi. Panetta relayed that order to the Joint Chiefs of Staff…then nothing was done.
Democrats hang their hats on the claim that no rescue effort would have gotten there in time to save the lives of those lost, but that’s simply not true. Woods and Doherty were killed eight hours after the attack started, and military assets were available but were never sent. The order from the president, conveyed by the secretary of defense to the military, simply disappeared into the ether.
