It should be clear to anyone with a conscience that the liberal media is just that, the liberal media. The mainstream media is not reporting all of what there is to report on the Benghazi debacle.

A reporter telling the “who, what, when, where and why” is fired if you’re small potatoes, or besmirched like the great Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News.

I have no idea what political side she is on, but she has reported well on two blood-laden Obama stories: the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal, still yet to be investigated; and the current Benghazi murders of our State Department officials.

On Fast and Furious, the parents of murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry still have no answers as to why he was shot in the back with a fully automatic weapon sent to Mexico by the Obama administration.

The Democratic Party now has more blood on its hands in the Benghazi murders and the massive, White House-initiated coverup. There is loads of unliberalized news about this online, with Fox News, The Daily Caller and many more.

This scandal dwarfs Watergate because nobody was left to die in Washington, D.C., by President

Nixon.

If anyone reading this has served in our great military, you know that we make every effort never to leave anyone behind. President Obama and Hillary Clinton left an ambassador, former Navy SEALS and others to die.

Some fool actually wrote in to this paper saying that they should not have been there in the first place. The fact is that they were there and stand-down orders were given to lots of more-than-willing responders.

However, our president is still currently stonewalling on who gave those repeated stand-down orders. We still do not know but I think my guess is 100 percent accurate. I think Barack Obama gave all stand-down orders

There was, in fact, an aircraft carrier just 300 miles away from Benghazi. Combat aircraft flying at 600 mph could have been there in about an hour. They were told to stand down. By whom?

Where exactly was Obama for five hours after Ambassador Stevens’s last radio traffic, “Greg, we are under attack!”

The only one who could order that carrier to deploy its fighter aircraft is Obama. The only one that could order all the other willing responders to go and help outside of Libya was Obama.

Our president did nothing to help these people for at least five hours while the jackals closed in and killed them. He did nothing.

Government emergency radio communications called Flash Traffic go straight to the situation room in the White House and to the State Department. Hillary, where were you? What did you do while those in your charge were being butchered? Why did you have almost no security at Benghazi after repeated requests for it prior to the attack? Was this a setup?

It is a fact that Flash Traffic was sent to the White House. It is entirely possible that the president watched these people die in real time via drone video.

Folks, the lowest of the low is when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, with flag-draped coffins in front of them, told tearful family members “we will get this guy that made that video.” These two incompetents knew full well this was a coordinated attack. Yet they still looked into the eyes of crying moms and their children, and lied right to their faces.

This Memorial Day, my family and I will remember all who, in many cases, willingly gave their lives to stop tyrants in the name of liberty. The men and women who gave it all for our liberty are sacred in our home.

Sgt. Kelly of Richmond and Pfc. Small of Wiscasset will always be remembered in this Woolwich home. This year, my children will also hear of Tyron S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty, two former U.S. Navy SEALS who disobeyed the stand-down orders.

They died to save others when no one else was allowed. They did the right thing because their superiors are useless cowards.
