This is now growing to be the biggest scandal in American Presidential history. If the mainstream media were objective instead of part of the propaganda arm of the Obama Regime, this story would be headline material.

You may know what the story is, but there are shocking details you may not know. What must we do about this scandal?

The scandal is the attack on our American consulate in Benghazi. This scandal has gone from bad to worse. Usually it is the cover up that is worse than the scandal. Remember, it was the cover-up, not the break in at the Watergate that brought down Richard Nixon.

For two weeks, the Obama Regime lied to us about the attack, claiming that this was not an organized terrorist attack but a response to an anti-Muslim film. Every member of the Regime was dutifully trotted out to not only lie to the American people but to make a full frontal assault on the First Amendment.

Then we find out that Hillary Clinton and others in the State Department had requested more security for the Benghazi site and Obama denied that request.

The media reporting on the attack on the compound makes it sound like the Compound was quickly over run. Former Navy Seals Glenn Doherty and Tyrone Woods were part of a unit that was near by. They repeatedly asked for assistance and fought for seven hours before being killed.

Part of the compound was a CIA operation to help track down weapons missing since the end of the Qaddafi regime. The existence of this CIA operation and its headquarters was apparently an open secret in Libya.

As the CIA operators called for help, a CIA paramilitary team was a mile away and was told repeatedly to stand down. Special operations forces, including C-130 Specter gunships were an hour away.

They were not sent. Reports are now coming out that there was a drone over Benghazi at the time sending back real time images to the White House.

Now even more reports are coming out that the slain Ambassador Chris Stevens may have been up to his eyeballs recruiting jihadists for Syria. Before his death, a freighter from Libya, with a Captain from Benghazi docked in Turkey carrying 400 tons for weapons for the rebels fighting in Syria. These included sophisticated surface to air missiles. These surface to air missiles are shoulder fired, meaning they are very portable and only need one or two people to fire them. This is an arms smuggling scandal that could make the former Iran-Contra scandal look insignificant.
According to Aaron Klein at WND, the Consulate itself was not a consulate but an operations hub that served to coordinate aid for rebel led insurgencies through out the Middle East.

The weapons that Chris Stevens and the American government were helping to smuggle to Syria, with the help of the Islamist government in Ankara, were going to not to the secular moderates, but to Al-Qaeda type terrorists.

Republicans have a habit of coming into power and deciding they are simply going to ignore scandals from the previous Democrat administration.

This cannot happen this time.

Mitt Romney’s first priority when he is sworn in must be the economy. That is good. But he needs to find a really tough Attorney General and tell him to launch an investigation, get to the bottom of what happened and present the matter to a Federal Grand Jury and start getting indictments and convictions.

When an American President leaves Americans to die the way Obama did, it is criminal. When American forces that could easily help are told repeatedly to stand down, and other Americans who are calling for help are killed, it is murder. When American officials are funneling weapons to Al-Qaeda type terrorists, weapons that one-day might be used against us, that is not just wrong. It is illegal.

Republicans far too often treat Democrats as “Members of the club.” That club being the political class that runs Washington. They believe there are certain courtesies you give to members of the club, including covering for them. Remember what the Clinton administration people did to the White House when George W. Bush was sworn in? What did Bush do? He simply ignored it.

Remember what happened to Bill Clinton and the independent investigation into his conduct? The day before he left office, it ended with a joke. He paid a $25,000 fine to resolve the issues related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal and agreed to be disbarred in Arkansas. On the last day in office, he pardoned Marc Rich, a fugitive financier. Many have argued that this was done in exchange for various contributions. That might have been bribery but the Republicans would not investigate.

The American people are tired of business as usual. The Benghazi scandal is the biggest scandal ever to reach a President. There have been other scandals but no one died in those scandals.

If Mitt Romney’s administration will not investigate and prosecute this because it is the right thing to do, then they should do it out of a sense of self-defense.

Obama’s “Arab Spring” which has toppled regimes all over the Middle East, has opened the door for terrorists to acquire not only surface to air missiles but also possibly chemical WMD’s. Thousands of these shoulder fired surface to air missiles that were in Libya are now missing.

It is not a question of if, but only when some of those weapons will be used against America.

If the Romney administration does not aggressively investigate and prosecute those responsibly early, the Democrats will show them no such mercy.
