The conservative economist ain't done talking about the Benghazi attack, by telling the truth slowly so it doesn't hurt his re-election chances: "The belated release of State Department e-mails shows that the
Obama administration knew, while the attack on the American consulate
was still underway, that it was a coordinated, armed terrorist attack.
They were getting reports from those inside the consulate who were under
attack, as well as surveillance pictures from a camera on an American
drone overhead.
About an hour before the attack, the scene outside was calm
enough for the American ambassador to accompany a Turkish official to
the gates of the consulate to say goodbye. This could hardly have
happened if there were protesting mobs there. Why then did both President Obama and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice
keep repeating the story that this was a spontaneous protest riot
against an anti-Islamic video in America?"
Dr. Sowell continues his commentary about Benghazi: "What the White House needed
was a process of 'cooling out' the voters, keeping them distracted or in
uncertainty as long as possible. Not only did the Obama administration keep repeating the false story
about an anti-Islamic video being the cause of a riot that turned
violent, the man who produced that video was tracked down and arrested,
creating a media distraction. All this kept the video story front and center, with the actions and inactions of the Obama administration kept in the background."
