The decision not to help those in Benghazi must have come from Obama: The decision not to help those in Benghazi must have come from Obama:

 Let's try to sum it up:

1. The president was aware in real time of an organized military assault on our consulate and the nearby CIA annex in Benghazi.

1. As the assault was proceeding, the president rejected the urgent requests of the personnel under attack for military assistance that could have stopped the attack on the annex.

1. Then, having refused to take action to stop the military assault, he concealed the very fact that this military assault had even occurred, claiming that it was only a spontaneous mob protest against an obscure anti-Islam video on the Web which had gotten out of hand, and, further, that the problem was not organized jihadist enemies in the country we had "liberated," but Islamophobia in the United States.

1. He had his administration repeat this false claim for two weeks, only dropping it when the truth came out and the lie was no longer sustainable.

1. A month later, he told the bald-faced lie in the second presidential debate that he had not concealed the nature of the attack, because he had said the day after the attack that it was a "terrorist" attack. The media backed him up in this gross lie, and also continued the administration line that the only reason there is any issue here is that the Republicans are seeking partisan advantage from it.

1. The Republican presidential nominee at the third debate dropped the issue, allowing the president to get away with his spectacularly dishonest and arguably treasonous behavior.

1. Finally, the zombie-like American people, whose only concern is their personal lives and whose entire grasp of politics is that the Republicans are for the rich and the Democrats are for the little guy, are on the verge of re-electing this spectacularly lying and arguably treasonous president.
