During his recent speech, Obama had the balls to call the Benghazi disaster a "Conspiracy Theory".
The only conspiracy was the Obama administration's coverup and LIES about the cause of the attack. Lies that continued for almost a week!
Kris Paronto, one of the heroes of Benghazi, is furious with Barack Obama over his recent remark about "conspiracy theories" surrounding the 2012 terror attack.
Four Americans died in Benghazi and that is not a conspiracy, it is a FACT.
Sept. 12, 3:04 p.m.: Clinton called then Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Qandil and tells him, “ We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack — not a protest.”
Obama admits that his handling of the Libya war was his worst mistake – but not that it was unconstitutional.

Obama’s willingness to even partially admit an important mistake (something few political leaders do) is commendable.
But it is unfortunate that he still refuses to admit that the Libya war was illegal, as well as badly managed.
Because the administration failed to get congressional authorization for the conflict, the war violated both the Constitution (which requires congressional authorization to initiate war), and the 1973 War Powers Act.
Then-Senator Obama put it well back in 2007, when he stated that “ he President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” That describes the Libya war to a T.
With both Libya and ISIS, flouting the Constitution was not only bad in itself, but has also greatly increased the risk of a tragic outcome on the ground, one that is likely to cost the lives of many innocent people.
Sadly, the resulting “mess,” as Obama calls it, may well be left for the next president to clean up.
