Weekend Edition: Benghazi – 5 Months Of Treason

“I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure we are securing our personnel and that we are doing whatever we need to. Number two, we are going to investigate exactly what happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice.”

Those are the words of Obama regarding his orders on the evening of September 11th 2012 and the attack on the Consulate in Benghazi.

“Make sure we are securing our personnel and that we are doing whatever we need to.”

This is a claim Obama has made over and over again.

Now…let me take you to the direct testimony, under oath, of Leon Panetta and General Dempsey just a couple of days ago.

SEN. GRAHAM: Your testimony, as I understand it, Secretary Panetta, that you talked to the president of the United States one time.
SEC. PANETTA: I talked to him on Sept. 11 with regards to the fact that we were aware this attack was taking place.
SEN. GRAHAM: One time.
SEC. PANETTA: Right.
SEN. GRAHAM: What time did you tell him that?
SEC. PANETTA: I think that was approximately about 5 o’clock?
GEN. DEMPSEY: Yeah, about 5 o’clock.
SEC. PANETTA: About 5 o’clock.
SEN. GRAHAM: General Dempsey, did you ever talk to the president of the United States at all?
GEN. DEMPSEY: I was with the secretary when — at that same time.
SEN. GRAHAM: Did you talk to the president?
GEN. DEMPSEY: Yes.
SEN. GRAHAM: You talked to him how many times.
GEN. DEMPSEY: The same — one time.
SEN. GRAHAM: How long did the conversation last?
GEN. DEMPSEY: We were there in the office for probably 30 minutes.
SEN. GRAHAM: So you talked to him for 30 minutes, one time, and you never talked to him again, either one of you.
GEN. DEMPSEY: Until afterwards.
SEN. GRAHAM: Until after the attack was over.
GEN. DEMPSEY: That’s right.
SEN. GRAHAM: Thank you.

Let that sink in. Read it again if you need to and let it sink in deep.

Our Consulate in Benghazi had been under attack for 90 minutes by the time Dempsey and Panetta spoke with Obama. Panetta told Obama that the Consulate was under attack. The 3 of them spoke for 30 minutes.

OBAMA NEVER CHECKED BACK IN FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. THEY DIDN’T SPEAK AGAIN UNTIL THE AFTER THE ATTACKS WERE OVER.

Sinking in yet?

More than 3 dozen Americans and Libyans working on behalf of our State Department were under attack by terrorists including our Ambassador and he never once wanted to know what was happening.

During an attack that lasted 7 hours, Obama never checked in. While Ambassador Stevens was missing, he never knew it because he never checked in. When Tyrone Woods asked permission to go to the rescue, Obama knew nothing of it because he never checked in. When Woods defied orders and went anyway, Obama didn’t know because he never checked in. When Tyrone Woods returned to the CIA Annex with the BODY of his fallen countrymen…Obama didn’t know because he never checked in. When the Annex came under attack, when MORE calls for help went out, when Glen Doherty joined the fight, when Doherty and Woods were killed…Obama never knew because he never checked back in.

People…AMERICANS that HE sent to one of the most dangerous places on earth were under attack by TERRORISTS…People Obama claims to be RESPONSIBLE for are being attacked, our consulate in flames, a CIA Annex being rocketed…4, under HIS responsibility…KILLED…ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOST DEADLY TERRORIST ATTACK IN U.S. HISTORY…

And he never bothers to check in???

In fact, the very next morning, after making statements in the Rose Garden, Obama was so concerned about the Benghazi attacks that he flew to Las Vegas to do some campaigning.

The testimony had other, equally disturbing bombshells.

Senator John McCain lit into Dempsey: “When you’re talking about the Benghazi issue, you say, ‘We positioned our forces in a way that was informed by and consistent with available threat estimates,'” then you go on to say, ‘Our military was appropriately responsive,’ even though seven hours passed and two Americans died at the end of that. Then you go on and say, ‘We did what our posture and capabilities allowed.'”

McCain then brought up a base in Crete was just 90 minutes away.

“We could have placed forces there. We could have had aircraft and other capabilities a short distance away at Souda Bay, Crete. So, for you to testify before this committee that they were consistent with available threat estimates is simply false; that our military was appropriately responsive.”

When responding to Senator Kelly Ayotte, Panetta stated: “Unfortunately, there was no specific intelligence or indications of an imminent attack on that — U.S. facilities in Benghazi. And frankly without an adequate warning, there was not enough time given the speed of the attack for armed military assets to respond.”

“The bottom line is this: That we were not dealing with a prolonged or continuous assault, which could have been brought to an end by a U.S. military response, very simply, although we had forces deployed to the region.”

General Dempsey claimed he could not have gotten troops on the ground within 13 to 15 hours.

Gereral Ham believed HE had assets within reach to offer assistance.

He was relieved of his command.

Rear Admiral Gaouette also believed HE had assets which could have reached Benghazi in time.

He also, was relieved of his command.

The claim last week that we had no assets available is a contradiction to what Panetta said at a  Pentagon news briefing, on Oct. 26, 2012. There, Panetta claimed the reason for not sending assets to Benghazi was because,  there was no “real-time information” to be able to act on, even though the U.S. military was prepared to do exactly that.

“You don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on,” Panetta said. “(We) felt we could not put forces at risk in that situation.”

And THAT statement from October 26th flies in the face of OTHER testimony INCLUDING some of Panetta’s OWN testimony last Thursday.

We know that we had real time intell being relayed by 1 former Navy SEAL as the attacks began and 2 former SEALS when the attack transitioned to the CIA Annex.

We were told by the State Department’s Charlene Lamb, several times, that they were watching the attack in real-time via closed circuit.

So we didn’t have enough intell to launch assets into Benghazi?

AND, from last Thursday, we were told by by Panetta himself that, within 17 minutes we had an unarmed, surveillance drone dispatched to give U.S. officials a better idea of what was happening and IT arrived at the site about 70 minutes after the attack or, approximately…10 minutes before Panetta’s and Dempsey’s meeting with Obama.

So…According to Panetta and depending on what day you ask him, either we lacked the inell but had the assets to send to Benghazi or…We HAD the intell but lacked the assets.

According to Charlene Lamb there WAS a live feed of the attacks and it WAS being watched or…According to Hillary Clinton there was NO live feed to be watched by anyone.

Either Obama WAS responsible as HE says he was or…Obama never once checked in to see what was happening as Panetta and Dempsey said.

There either WAS “an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators twice to “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11,” OR…There was NO stand down orders.

SOMEBODY denied added security for Benghazi.

SOMEBODY made the decisions to pin it all on a You Tube Video and send Susan Rice out to push that lie.

SOMEBODY issued stand down orders.

SOMEWHERE…THERE ARE 30 SOME ODD SURVIVORS OF THOSE ATTACKS IN BENGHAZI…WHERE ARE THEY???

Obama has called what happened in Benghazi “Bumps in the road,” “Not optimal” and 2 weeks ago, in a 60 Minutes interview with Hillary Clinton at his side…Obama responded to a question about Benghazi by saying, “You know, I remember Bob Gates, you know, first thing he said to me, I think maybe first week or two that I was there and we were meeting in the Oval Office and he, obviously, been through seven presidents or something. And he says, ‘Mr. President, one thing I can guarantee you is that at this moment, somewhere, somehow, somebody in the federal government is screwing up.’ “

Hillary laughed.

And somewhere, those al Qaeda affiliates who murdered 4 Americans 5 months ago tomorrow…are laughing.

There’s no cover up?

No TREASON???

Really?

  1. Excellent Craig. No one was there to answer the 3:00 a.m. phone call. Too bad this wasn’t revealed before the election.
