The Benghazi Brief is easily the most painstaking undertaking I ever endeavored to research, accept and eventually write. It was not a comfortable assembly.
The Brief was written almost two years ago:
- It was written well before Mike Rogers and Charles Ruppersberger produced their self-serving, pre-retirement, diversionary distraction/report.
- It was written before the House Select Committee on Benghazi was even created, let alone produced their final report.
- The brief was written before the Fox report “13 hours in Benghazi” was presented by Brett Baier.
- It was written long before the Hollywood movie around the night of the Benghazi attack, “13 Hours – The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” was produced…
…. and not a single aspect to those, or any subsequent revelation, has ever compromised or run counter to the information contained with the Brief.
To the contrary, every report, every leak, every WikiLeak detail, every statement, every interview, every FIOA discovery and every factual detail pried from the clutches of the political establishment has done nothing except to validate the construct of the original research outline.
So why does that matter?
Partly, because the truth has no agenda. Truth, raw reality, cannot be obfuscated based on the political wishes of those who would prefer it to remain muddied. It just is.
As disconcerting and uncomfortable as it appears, the truth doesn’t care about your feelings, your sentiments or your preferences. It just is; and when it’s sitting there, there’s nothing you can do but accept it – or ignore it.
For the sake of the current 2016 presidential election cycle, the answers to mountains of continuing day-to-day questions are answered within that very same brief.
• Why do all of those former administration officials have a vested interest in destroying Donald Trump? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why is Robert Gates not included in that list “against Trump”? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why was the Trey Gowdy committee an exercise in futility? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why have we never heard from the 40+ people, survivors, who were in the Benghazi annex on the night of September 12th and morning of Sept 13th 2012? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why is Leon Panetta so far out with his support for Hillary Clinton? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why is CIA interim weasel Mike Morell so ridiculously against Trump and supportive of Hillary Clinton? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why was General David Petraeus removed, later prosecuted? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why did key Republicans (McCain, McConnell, Boehner etc. ) not fully place the burden of responsibility for Libya in the lap of Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why are 4 of the 8 members of the 2012 Congressional Intelligence Gang of Eight either retired (Rogers, Boehner, Chambliss) or retiring (Reid)? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why did President Obama urgently withdraw from Iraq – with severity and an apparent lack of concern for a rapid withdrawal? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why did President Obama seemingly distance himself from a more moderate Egypt (el-Sisi) or embrace Jordan (Abdullah)? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why did Turkey accept, and give safe-haven to the exiled Muslim Brotherhood leadership? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why are Republicans just as culpable for the outcome in Libya and Syria? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why did Russia step in to fill the vacuum from Obama’s mid-east withdrawal? The answer is in the Benghazi Brief.
• Why is the current intelligence community, and foreign relations political community, supportive of Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump? The answer is within the Benghazi Brief.
• Why did General Allen retire in 2013? The answer is within the Benghazi Brief. • Why was General Allen put in charge of Obama’s ISIS strategy in 2014? The answer is within the Benghazi Brief. • Why did General Allen speak at the 2016 DNC convention in Philadelphia? The answer is within the Benghazi Brief.
• Why did CNN hire Mike Rogers as an analyst? The answer is within the Benghazi Brief.
• Why has the ongoing trial of captured Libyan terrorist Abu Khattala seemingly dropped off the face of the media radar? The answer is within the Benghazi Brief.
If you look at each of the players behind the 2011, 2012 and beyond mid-east policy; and you look carefully at each of the people and positions outlined in the Benghazi Brief, you will clearly see what motivates each-and-every-one of them in the 2016 presidential election cycle.
Yes, it is beyond troubling to accept that both sides of the DC UniParty share culpability for the outcome of a foreign policy they facilitated and supported. But that is a reality that must be accepted, in order to understand why all of those same UniParty members are more comfortable with Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
However, two people are more responsible than all others; yes, even more responsible than President Obama himself, and even more responsible than the congressional intelligence oversight committee that were supposed to keep them in check.
Yes, Obama gave them authority to engage, but Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former CIA Director Leon Panetta hold the primary responsibility for creating the policy that created the islamist explosion which ultimately gave rise to ISIS.
