I doubt, allow me to repeat and emphasize, “doubt“, these reports are accurate.    Why?   Because Congressman Jason Chaffetz is on record stating that in his visit to Libya he travelled with General Ham.   When Chaffetz asked Ham about whether he had a ready reaction force, according to Chaffetz – Ham told him “yes, however, we never got a request to assist in Benghazi”.

So why would there now be reports of Africom Command General Ham being replaced because of his non-compliance?   He said he never got the request for help, or call to mobilize?   He is not going to lie to the House Intelligence Committee   – No motive, Period.

Jim Hoft at GWP shares this story:   The latest rumor making the rounds is that Barack Obama replaced General Carter Ham at Africom after the general made a move to help the US security officials at the Benghazi consulate and annex.  Ham was replaced by Gen. David Rodriquez on October 18. Tiger Droppings reported: (more…)

Knowing what you know now about:

• The origin of the Muhammed Movie Cover Story
• The official State Dept. Version of events
• The purpose of the Benghazi Consulate and CIA ANNEX
• The CIA Refusing to protect the Ambassador and Security
• The CIA Denying “They” Made the call not to protect the Ambassador and Security
• David Axelrod refusing to say whether Obama met with National Security Team 9/12

Now watch Obama answer questions:

Is he lying?   You decide.

Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”

So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.

It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need? (read more)

…. yes, actually, yes, they did.   Today’s leaks just took this to an entirely new level.  A level that most are not going to grasp right away.  But they will.   They will.

You see, when you read a report of the CIA operative on the ground, holding a GLD, saying “the enemy is lit” it can only mean one thing. From the CIA leak to Fox:

[…]  According to sources on the ground during the attack, the special operator on the roof of the CIA annex had visual contact and a laser pointing at the Libyan mortar team that was targeting the CIA annex. The operators were calling in coordinates of where the Libyan forces were firing from.

You don’t activate a GLD and light a target without the weaponized hot asset already being overhead ready to fire.   As a Black Five Delta Operator outlines: (more…)

Folks, now that this report is coming out, I’m going to let you in on a secret…  “It’s Worse – Much Worse”.    We have direct and reliable information that not only were the CIA operatives in the Annex told to “stand down” when they wanted to assist the consulate (which is semi-explainable given the nature of the compound objective they were guarding), but the Quick Reaction Force [Delta Force] was directed to secure the assets at the Annex and NOT the consulate.   Why?   Because the “content” and “asset risk” within the Annex was considered to be more *valuable* than the assets at the consulate.

The consulate “assets” were people.

TREASONOUS BASTARDS – Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that 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.

Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA  annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and  his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they  informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and  requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to  “stand down,” according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they  were again told to “stand down.” (more…)

Pat Dollard has a great read regarding the Libyan arms and possible White House perceived discovery risk attaching the same concept of Fast and Furious to Libyan arms. It is something many here have also discussed. However, we think there is more to it, actually much more.   Many Treepers have helped to flesh out the Benghazi mission agenda and the possible CIA activity.   Pat Dollard and The Washington Times have set the stage.   The TreeHouse goes deeper, much deeper.   First, The Dollard outline:

(Via PatDollard)  Excerpted from The Washington Times, piece by Frank Gaffney, Reagans’ assistant Secretary of State: President Obama’s once seemingly unstoppable march toward re-election hit what he might call “bumps in the road” in Benghazi, Libya, late on Sept. 11, 2012. It might be more accurate to describe the effect of the well-planned and -executed, military-style attack on a diplomatic facility there as the political equivalent of a devastating improvised explosive device on the myth of the unassailability of the Obama record as commander-in-chief.

Thanks to intrepid investigative reporting — notably by Bret Baier and Catherine Herridge at Fox News, Aaron Klein at WND.com and Clare Lopez at RadicalIslam.org — and information developed by congressional investigators, the mystery is beginning to unravel with regard to what happened that night and the reason for the subsequent, clumsy official cover-up now known as Benghazigate. (more…)

(CNSNews.com) – The White House is declining to say when President Barack Obama first  learned of three e-mails that the State Department sent to the White  House on Sept. 11, 2012, directly notifying the Executive Office of the  President that the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was under attack, that  U.S. Amb. Chris Stevens was at the Benghazi mission at the time of the  attack, and that the group Ansar al-Sharia had taken credit for the  attack.

The White House also declined to say when the president first met with the National Security Council after the Benghazi attack.

“I have been asked by one of our spokespeople to relay ‘that we  decline to comment,’” said White House National Security Staff aide  Debbie Bird in a written response to CNSNews.com.

CNSNews.com had asked Bird: 1) “When did the President  first meet with the National Security Council after the Benghazi attack  on 9/11/12?” 2) “When did White House staff first discuss the substance  of the e-mails that went to the White House with the President or with  the National Security Advisor?” (more…)

Not only did they lie – They Watched Them Die

(Reuters) – Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.

The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.

The brief emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack, even as it was still under way, to Washington. (more…)

Hire security guards amid the most hostile terroristic area in Libya and they don’t have guns or know how to shoot……  yeah, “not optimal”.

BENGHAZI – One of the members of the “Special Protection Unit” guarding the Benghazi consulate states that the unit had never been given shooting lessons.

Right Side collarbone – Penetrating wound – Circular – Burned Surrounding tissue – Moderate blood flow [blood direction toward center chest then neck shows body movement while bleeding]   Taser dart?

A 33-year-old individual referred to only has “Ali” was part of the February 17 Brigade’s four-man team guarding the Benghazi consulate on Sept 11. He says he and his team members had received “light” and “theoretical” training inside the consulate from time to time, but never experience shooting firearms. (more…)
