Let's cut to the chase. Thirty-four Americans at the U.S. Special
Mission and CIA Annex in Benghazi were attacked by Islamic terrorists in
two waves, the first starting at 9:40 p.m. the evening of Sept. 11,
2012.
Murderous thugs carefully planned and executed this attack
on American territory — which this space represents — on the 11th
anniversary of Sept. 11.
First, U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher
Stevens and his aide, Sean Smith, were brutally killed. Then, long hours
of official indecision or cowardice followed, culminating in the heroic
rescue during the second attack on the annex.
But for retired
Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty courageously fighting to defend
the lives of those at the annex at the cost of their own, no one would
have lived to tell the tale.
Woods, a CIA contractor stationed at
the annex, initially led the delayed rescue effort at the mission,
bringing four surviving Diplomatic Security Service officers and Smith's
lifeless body, back to the annex.
Doherty, a CIA contractor
stationed in Tripoli, arrived in Benghazi with his team at 1:35 a.m.,
but Libya Shield Brigade jihadis detained them some for three hours,
giving the "final assault team," including a mortar squad, time to
prepare for the attack on the annex.
The sobering reality now is,
rather than praising the 31 survivors for their bravery, the Obama
administration has muzzled them through extraordinary harassing
measures, including nondisclosure agreements and repeated polygraphs
vis-a-vis the Benghazi attacks.
Let's be clear: Terrorists ejected
America from Libya that day, ushering in anarchic rule that persists to
this day — the same America that gave Libya $1 billion in military
assistance during the so-called "Arab Spring" to liberate its people
from strongman Moammar Gadhafi, who was captured and killed on Oct. 20,
2011.
Nearly a year later, just after Labor Day as President Obama
was bracing himself for the presidential contest that would determine
whether he would retain power, this enormous catastrophe occurred in
Benghazi.
That the administration sought initially to obfuscate
with the patently false video story shows it takes Americans for fools.
But, then, we were fools.
