Sexton: Here’s What Obama Doesn’t Want You to Know About Libya

The White House knew—or should have known—an avowed Libyan Jihadist group named Ansar Al-Sharia claimed responsibility for the attack in Benghazi as it was occurring. Emails released yesterday from the Embassy in Tripoli make that point obvious, and Obama’s refusal to publicly state when he saw these frantic alert messages serves only to solidify suspicions of a cover-up.

It also proved that the White House response to the Benghazi assault involved an obvious incongruity.  They were willing to cite in the earliest hours that an obscure youtube video sparked a “spontaneous” protest based on preliminary evidence from the internet. By contrast, the Obama administration didn’t think that similar open-source information merited public mention when a prime suspect—Ansar al-Sharia–announced it was involved in overrunning and burning out a U.S. Consulate.

Many in the media chalk up the bungled response to panic, while others recognize the obvious politics at work. Recent revelations have proven both of those claims true, but less discussed is why the administration sought to control and distort the narrative at the expense of their own credibility. By attempting to distort and deflect, the Obama administration merely delayed America’s inevitable reckoning that something rotten was afoot in our Libyan intervention.

Of course this all reeks of electoral calculation. This administration has lied to the American people, and it’s an outrage. But it also brings up a broader question that goes to the heart of U.S. policy in the aftermath of the Arab Spring:

Why was the White House so unwilling to state the obvious on Benghazi?

The answer is all about Obama’s narrative heading into reelection. The Benghazi debacle makes it appear Libya is heading for darker times, it proves that the global Jihad marches on after Bin Laden’s death, and Libya could even become a safehaven for terrorists to plot attacks around the world.

And all this for an administration that views foreign policy as its strongest asset.

In fact, as we headed into the thick of election season, the Obama administration was poised to hold Libya up as the poster-child for humanitarian intervention. Obama had shaken off the legacy of Bill Clinton’s disastrous Somalia mission, and seemingly proven that drones alone can liberate an Arab world just clamoring for democracy, human rights, and rule of law.

Then our U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other brave Americans serving their country were murdered by the very people they had risked their lives to liberate. Americans now see threats on the horizon for which this administration is ill-prepared.

So what does Benghazi tell us about the real state of Libya?

The militias control everything. The central government doesn’t have an effective police force or military, and there are Salafists and Jihadists angling for power in the Eastern province of Barqa who entirely reject the democratic process. Many of them also despise America and the West, despite our saving them from annihilation.

Libya as it exists on a map is a fiction. It is really three separate states that were pulled together by a vicious strongman in Qaddafi who was bizarre even by maniacal dictator standards. He allowed no civil society to form, and even kept most of the military intentionally weak.

The eastern part of Libya has most of the oil and the Jihadist elements. Those Jihadists are currently mired in an internal feud over whether to harness the democratic process for short-term gain, or just reject it entirely. Either way, they’ve been flying the black flag of Jihad as their banner since the beginning of the conflict with a “Day of Rage” on February 17, 2011. That’s not going to change.

Perhaps the Jihadists will be sidelined, or marginalized by the tribal leaders who hope to create a functional Libyan state with some federalism and revenue sharing from the oil wells along the coast. Even if that happens—and it’s a big if—it would not prevent eastern Libya from becoming a hotbed of Jihadist recruitment, training, and plotting.

In fact, for the past ten years, cities like Derna and Benghazi have already been prime Jihadi real estate, sending fighters and suicide bombers to Afghanistan and Iraq. When you couple that with indigenous Libyan extremist groups fighting to overthrow Qaddafi for decades, it becomes clear that there will be proponents of Jihad operating in Libya for the foreseeable future. Removing Qaddafi may have been a humanitarian victory, but it took the boot off the neck of those in Libya who would also wage war against the West.

Add to that the presence of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb in the region, sprinkle in a vast ocean of weapons from Qaddafi’s former depots washing across the black markets in North Africa, and toss in some foreign fighters from other Arab states, and you have a growing vortex of Jihadist activity.

So while we may have saved the people of Benghazi from Qaddafi, there appears little America can do to prevent Libya from becoming a launchpad for terrorism. While the topography is very different, Barqa could one day turn into something akin to the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) in Pakistan— the central government can’t control it, and Salafists operate with relative impunity.

Considerably worse scenarios for Libya are certainly possible, as are more positive ones. But we have already seen the Libyan terrorists manage one horrific strike against America. If Jihadists gain enough freedom to operate, we can expect more attacks to come from the country that owes its freedom to President Obama’s decision to intervene. The moral calculus of that choice was complicated; the security effects on America and its allies all seem to point in one direction.

Need more clarification….You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there, he’s elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with.

      If you look at Revelations 17:10-18 you will begin to understand. 10.They are 7 kings, Five have fallen (Egypt, Syria, Meado-Persia, Babalyon, Greece),one is (Rome), the other has not come (Ottaman Empire) but will stay a little while (and return Islm). 11. The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the 7th (Islam) and is going to his destruction. 12. The 10 horns are10 kings who are not yet but will receive authority with the beast. (New Egypt,Iran, Irag, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria, Turkey, LYBIA, Lebanon, Qutar) Clear as mudd?? There must be a united front of the major Islamic kingdoms (the least will be forced to join) to take back Jerusalem for the return of the 12th iman, who in my opinion is the same as the Anti-Christ. It is not BHO because he would have never bowed to other kings. BUT, the 10 kingtoms must be bought under 1 leader for prophecy to be fullfilled.
      That being said, BHO is NOT A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES, HE IS OF THE MUSLAM FAITH, HE HAS AND IS USING THE U.S. TO FURTHER THE ISLAMIC CAUSE, HE DOES NOT CARE WHO GETS HURT, KILLED, TO REACH THE GOAL. He will be defeated November 6, 2012, and Iran will nuke Isreal.

      @PATTY HENRY: I have been saying this for over 4 years to my friends and family. NONE OF US CAN ACTUALLY LOOK INTO HIS EYES AFTER THE FIRST TIME because we FELT and SAW the evil going thru us……just like a horror movie. And to this day, I CANNOT LOOK AT OBAMA’S FACE when he is on TV…I just cannot. The Holy Spirit tells me NOT TO LOOK DIRECTLY INTO OBAMA’S EYES. Why, I do not know, but I do know TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD because I TRUST GOD ONLY.

      Also, I have been praying for America(ns) and our military and its destiny for over 4 years. About 3 years ago, the Lord spoke to my Spirit and told me to STOP PRAYING FOR OBAMA because HIS HEART WAS SO HARDENED, the Holy Spirit cannot get through. Now, doesn’t that tell you that Obama must have so much hatred in him even God cannot get thru?

      I devote most of my prayer time daily to praying for America and that its people’s eyes are opened wide to the truth about Obama. It has been slow, but I do believe God is at work here.

      GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAY AMERICA BLESS GOD BY TRYING TO BE MORE RIGHTEOUS!

    Why do we question the deaths, though very sad, when we don’t ask the questions; was the “right to protect” really about saving anyone rather than using an excuse to invade a foreign country?, or was is a pawn in a future game (America) when the world may view us as a threat? or whether it is ultimately about the consolidation of resources necessary to sustain life and the ability to take (under legitimate guise) anything the collectivists need to continue their NWO?

      ROBOT:
      When we first heard of this “responsibility to protect,” I felt certain that this was simply a ruse for some future plan. My thoughts are that at some point, we will have the “responsibility to protect” Palestine or Iran from Israel.

      That said, I think this tragedy in Benghazi was due to pure incompetence and the unwillingness to admit that the “Arab Spring” had little to do with democracy. Obama could not conceive of the idea that his “successful foreign policy” that he has been shoveling at us during this campaign was not successful at all. He cannot claim success with the economy; now he cannot even bring up foreign policy without looking like a fool. He has nothing left to campaign on except the lie that “Romney and Ryan will deny women the right to use birth control.”

There are vast sums of cash to be made doing it, ask George Soros. Just by the too quick, vast cover up tells me there was something very crooked going on here, something we wouldn’t like.

      I agree with you, Grownup.

      Mr Sexton, with all due deference, is missing a number of points.

      1. Representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood were invited to the White House a number of times.

      2. Terrorists are not a bunch of undisciplined hotheads. The attack was carefully pre-planned and timed.

      3. The MB has stated that its goal is the domination of the world through the application of shariah. While they may be irrational, they don’t act irrationally. They use terror to control a population. There was a purpose to this.

      4. The suggestion that the obvious coverup was because the Obama administration wished to present a more successful picture of the Libyan intervention is facile. If the situation had been handled forthrightly, there would have been no real political disadvantage, whereas being caught in lie after lie has had a very serious effect.

      5. It is now clear that the Obama administration was materially aiding the west’s enemies; now that is something worth the risk of a cover up.

      6. Mr Sexon has ignored the very close relationship that Mr Obama has with the Prime Minister of Turkey who is a devout muslim and clearly deeply involved with the MB. The Turkish parliament has declared war on Syria. Mr Erdogan has said he will not go to war unless attacked. This is quite clever because that means they do not need to go through NATO or the UN Security Council if acting in self defence.

      cont.

      7. The Syrian “rebellion” has effectively stalled. It would be easy for the MB and Al-Qaeda controlled rebels to manufacture an attack on the Turkish border to bring Turkey into the conflict.

      8. Ambassador Stevens was clearly involved with the Turkish government, though to what purpose precisely is unclear as yet.

      9. The MB has made it clear that they intend to bring the levant nations under their direct control to provide a strong military and financial base to enable them to go onto a war footing. After Syria, Jordan will be targeted. From there, they will attack Israel and then move further into Europe.

      There is much that is uncertain, but it is clear, Mr Sexton, that there is lot more going on here that a bit of political turd polishing.

      Another example of a TEACHABLE MOMENT missed by the Community Organizer to ACT PRESIDENTIAL!

      I am certain that while POTUS BH Obama’s Admin was watching the events UNFOLD in REAL-time, Commander-In-Chief BH Obama was on hold with the NATO-LEAD-COALITION waiting for the approval to organize a “BEER SUMMIT.”

      09.15.2012 – NY Times

      According to guards at the compound, the attack began at about 9:30 p.m., without advance warning or any peaceful protest. “I started hearing, ‘God is great! God is great!’(ALLAHU AKBAR) ” one guard said. “I thought to myself, maybe it is a passing funeral.” (All the guards spoke on the condition of anonymity for their safety.)

      Praying for our troops, and God’s speed to bring them home safely.

    My guess is the muslim brotherhood back in July told Obama that the presence of American troops in Libya was offensive and that they would make sure our ambassador was safe but he needed to remove the Marines. Obama in his trust and apeisment for anything islam, did just that. We have to remember also that Hillary’s chief of staff Huma, the wife of Anthony Weiner comes from a large family of muslim brotherhood members, dont think for a second she is not just as complicent in this as he is.

      They continue to lie because they lied from the beginning and now they simply keep lying hoping the populace won’t figure out what really happened before the election.This is the most vile corrupt regime in the history of this country. Carter was just a F up and didn’t have a clue,Clinton had a republican congress that didn’t spend us into oblivion but this guy has bad intentions for America and he proves it daily. He knows exactly what he’s doing and that’s why he needs to be fired,he’s a treasonous bastard.

      They wanted Stevens dead because he had the goods on whatever Bammy was doing over there. Something unAmerican, giving arms to al quaida, they had to 86 his possible future testimony.

    Four dead Americans means nothing to the Marxist mulatto POS heathen especially since they can’t tell their tale,or can they? The flood gates need to open on this and flush the regime down the toilet into the sewer where it belongs. Barry Soetoro will do anything to stay in power and this is the worst example,a vile man a coward stands idly by and watches four Americans get killed. Those seals that died had more courage in their pinky finger than you have in your entire worthless body and ANYONE who votes for you is just as vile because they’re condoning your treasonous action.

      The US has the F22 Raptor in #’s that would blow Benghazi off the map…..so where is this Admin and what is its excuse?? They are undetectable and blow fear through anything within earshot. This alone would have brought our Ambassador and his people time, but they undoubtedly they weren’t supposed to make it out…….and that brings on a whole separate set of questions……why where they expendible?? Gun running through F&F is child’s play compared to what was going on thru Turkey into Syria folks…..

    I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why these beet heads have fouled this up on every level and then it came to me–there is something so nefarious behind this incident that everything we now know has been a smoke-screen to cover up the real issue. The latest revelations have done little more than to pile on more information which will do virtually nothing other than add on stuff we will have to wade through. I think this whole thing is related to trying to reallocate arms from Libya to Syria. One thing is for sure–the gang who can’t shoot straight will no give up quietly.

    Wasn’t it Samantha Powers, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton that pushed for the “right to protect” and removal of Qadaffi? Three hard-hearted women who know nothing but want power. Scary! Another reason the UN and Nato wanted Qadaffi gone is because Libya has vast amounts of underground aquaducts with fresh water and the UN wanted to plant and vast area of Libya with genetically engineered corn and Qadaffi said NO. Well, looks like they still won’t get their g.e. corn crop.

    LIBYA

    What is the deal? In July of 2012, a discussion was made to move the special forces and fast reaction troops out of the area of Benghazi under the guise of returning to normalcy in Libya, even though several attacks had been made on the compound and a wall had been knocked down. Only 17 undertrained and underarmed Libyans were protecting this compound. Many requests for better protection were sent to the State Department. The standard response, in a nutshell, was that it was not needed. After all, we had for our protection, forces with aircraft and necessary men to get to the scene within an hour or two of any trouble that might arise in the Benghazi Embassy area. We had received reports that this outpost and the Tripoli area were going to be hit by an offshoot of Al Qaeda. [Even though Al Qaeda was on its heels and going away.] Now with 9/11 approaching, who would be naive enough to think the State Department and the President would not beef up all Embassies around the world to protect American Citizens as well as Ambassadors? Well, they did nothing.

    On 9/11, the attack began. We had a drone in the air over Benghazi and saw what was happening. The State Department and the CIA and the NSA and all other appropriate agencies received a lot of information and nothing was done. [This was supposedly because they wanted to assess the situation. Remember we had troops and assistance only an hour away that could protect the Ambassador and his men.] The attack

      I’ve been bloging at the Huffington Post for the past week and a half.Spreading the truth among the lost and fallen. I’m amazed how the left just glosses over all Obama’s short comings. Most of the posts are making fun of Romney and trumpeting how wonderful Obama is. It’s almost like these people live on another planet.
      The sadist story I’ve read today on the Blaze is the interview with the father of the fallen soildier in Libya.. Biden was a jerk, Hillary lied to the father and Obama was disconnected as usual.

    Panic, politics, whatever, the White House lack of response to this attack stinks. Obama took to his bed during the attack and nothing was done to save the lives of the Americans involved. Whatever Ambassador Stevens was doing over there was probably not something the electorate would approve of and that’s why he was sacrificed. Smells really bad.

    I have really tried as hard as I can not to hate but I really do HATE Obama. He has no honor or integrity. He is a liar and in no way a man. I was taught that you must be able to see your mistakes and admit them to even begin to be a man.
    I cant hardly take this another day. I have never voted early but this time I will be there before the doors open. I can only pray that the obama family is shown the door and that I never have to speak that name again. He who we do not mention.

      They are not mistakes. That is what they will call this if you let them. It will be that he didn’t state it right, didn’t act promptly enough, actions were not correct but will be corrected. That is the cover line. The truth is, and I believe this completely, that Libya was not a mistake, and it wasn’t a bad response. It was Obama’s decision intentionally and it was a calculated effort. I firmly believe Obama’s best friend and ally the Muslim Brotherhood Turkey leadership is fully involved here. Obama’s administration was running arms to the Libyan rebels who ARE Jihadist terrorists, desiring to gain yet another middle eastern conquest. Stephens was one of the middle men. As things began unraveling and the risk of having our own guns turned against us increased, perhaps they wanted more, maybe they didn’t get what they paid for?? Turkey was acting as a broker or supporter of the deal. When the talks stalled and the Turkey ambassador concluded his meeting with Stephens, the terrorists were ready to make their statement. Obama sat and watched it burn because he couldn’t risk any evidence of what was going on in the first place. It is possible as someone suggested, that the intent was to capture Stephens alive to use as leverage for the Blind Sheik? Not sure. But Obama had the video story prepped to try to cover and politicize the event. Now, damage control will be to try to fall back on “sorry we screwed up”. That’s also a lie.

      Lame Duck; this means politicians who LOST their efforts to be reelected STILL hold their ‘office’ and all its power to do pretty much anything they please for nearly three [3] months. They LOST their re-election bid ! That means they no longer represent the people of their district and SHOULD immediately move OUT of that physical office, relinquish it and GO HOME. The new official should be expected [required] to move in within a week or less with swearing in ceremonies no less than 7 days after an election. [Why any longer length of time??]

      Lame Duck; why do we have this leftover thing dating back to horse and buggy days? This originated “way back when” because it often took weeks or months for newly elected representatives and/or senators to travel from their distant home districts and arrive in Washington DC to be sworn into office. Today it may take as much as 6 [8?] hours for someone from the State of Hawaii to arrive in DC for the ceremonies. So why do we wait 3 months?

      Lame Duck “officials” have nothing to lose and could be dangerous as a group. We need to eliminate “Lame Duck” sessions, now.
