Jennifer Rubin’s “Right Turn” post in the Washington Post for October 12th presents a devastating indictment of the Obama Administration’s handling of the entire Benghazi affair

Handling of the Benghazi investigation shows  “We are back to a pre-9-11-2001 mode in which intelligence gathering takes a back seat to criminalizing anti-terrorism efforts.”

According to a lengthy presentation of facts and analysis in the Washington Post “Right Turn” blog for October 12, 2012, entitled: “Obama’s Libya debacle: Willful blindness” WP blogger Jennifer Rubin posted, “The Libya debacle is not merely a case of inadequate security. It is a case of willful blindness to the progress of al-Qaeda in a locale that the Obama team had boasted was a grand success for its “leading from behind” strategy. The administration despite every available bit of evidence continued to cling to a false narrative, and repeat that narrative to the public, because it refused to recognize that Libya was a terrorist victory, not a U.S. success story. ***  With each passing day, we learn that the administration had full knowledge that the attack was a planned terrorist operation but continued to tell voters otherwise.”

In a mid-day update to her original post, Jennifer Rubin said, “The lies within lies multiply. Now the White House is saying in perfectly Clinton-esque style that when Biden said [during the debate] “we” didn’t know about the security request from Benghazi he just meant himself and the president. This is pathetic. Does the State Department not report to the president? Was the national security adviser unaware of what was going on in Libya? An administration that must resort so frequently to pleas of incompetence is not one to be entrusted with national security.”
