Hunt for Benghazi attackers being “held back by Libya”
Three months after Ambassador Christopher Stevens, a diplomat and two CIA contractors were murdered in Benghazi, there is no sign of the killers being brought to justice by the United States.
The investigation into the attacks has been hampered by the reluctance of the Libyan authorities to move against the Islamist terrorists identified by the FBI as responsible for the killing, according to American officials briefing the ‘New York Times’.
None of the suspects has been arrested or killed and some have fled Libya.

The real reason is that the Libyan detectives are being barred from entry into the U.S. to investigate the actual suspects.

No. It’s being held up by the President of the United States.

Were the victims Muslim? Were the attackers Muslim?
There’s your answer. In Islam, there’s no equality of man. Muslims first, everyone else is a distant second. Major Hasan of the Fort Hood massacre fame can explain it better than I can. Actions speaking louder, and all.
Bin Laden, mass murderer of 3000 innocents, caused untold pain through the Muslim world, he was harbored by Pakistan, why. Because he’s Muslim. Muslims first, everyone else a distant second.
For comparison, it’s like being a friend of Obama in America. You’re favored with special treatment. If you’re not a friend of Obama, then, you’re criticized, and the government works against you. Friends of Obama first, everyone else is a distant second.

Yet they launch drone strikes in Pakistan all the time. Sure its being “held back by Libya”. Whatever.

Libya’s not helping with this so-called hunt, huh? Who ever woulda thunk it?
