The Aftermath of Benghazi: Hillary in 2016? Not a Chance!

A major scandal is brewing.

Yesterday, Jonathan Karl of ABC News broke the story that the Obama administration has not been telling the truth about the September 11 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi. The US State Department has finally gotten around to acknowledging that there was no protest outside the consulate. Rather, as I informed readers of this blog on September 12 (see: http://jgcaesarea.blogspot.co.il/2012/09/gail-collins-mitts-major-meltdown.html), the deadly assault was pre-planned.

This concerted effort to mislead the American public could have a grave impact on Obama's re-election campaign.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has gone into hiding. As reported by The Washington Post today (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/benghazi-attack-may-mar-clintons-legacy/2012/10/09/b7a8e382-1220-11e2-a16b-2c110031514a_story.html):

"Clinton will not appear at a Wednesday oversight hearing on the Libya attack, where House Republicans have said they will question the State Department’s security preparations and the administration’s account of the attack. The State Department will instead send a trusted career diplomat along with three security officials.

. . . .

Clinton has made no public mention of the attack or investigation since Oct. 3. She has no public speaking events on her schedule this week. A trusted Clinton confidant who is the chief protector of her image is reviewing all media inquiries related to the attack."

Might Hillary resurface in 2016 as the Democratic contender for the presidency? No way. The events in Benghazi have buried her career.
