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.

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…)

He told them the TRUTH, al-Qaeda was thriving….  They can’t allow that.

“Islamic extremism appears to be on the rise in eastern Libya,” the ambassador wrote, adding that “the Al-Qaeda flag has been spotted several times flying over government buildings and training facilities…”

CBS Report: U.S. Had Predator Drone Over Benghazi As Attack Happened, “They Stood, And They Watched, And Our People Died”…  […]

CBS News has been told that, hours after the attack began, an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Benghazi, and that the drone and other reconnaissance aircraft apparently observed the final hours of the protracted battle.

The State Department, White House and Pentagon declined to say what military options were available.  (more…)

As we begin to piece the new information, new reporting and discovered research in Benghazi against the backdrop of the “Official State Department Reports”, it is prudent to go back and rewatch the actual journalistic discoveries on scene right after the attack.

This is a very well organized, informative and well presented in depth report on the Benghazi attack in Libya.

Americans Died – Obama Lied

WASHINGTON (AP) – The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month’s deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.

It is unclear who, if anyone, saw the cable outside the CIA at that point and how high up in the agency the information went. The Obama administration maintained publicly for a week that the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a result of the mobs that staged less-deadly protests across the Muslim world around the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the U.S. (more…)

Many people jumped on this comment snippet as soon as it was tweeted by the media. I sensed something was off with the media lead on the comment itself, so I witheld opinion until I could see and hear the context.   Having said that the term “optimal” was placed into the conversation by Jon Stewart.

However, Jon Stewart was talking about the poor presidential response, and the confusing explanations from the White House, Spokesperson(s), the larger administration per se’, and the President himself.   In essence the “confused messaging” was not optimal.

If President Obama was responding to the poor “messaging” descriptive then any outrage would have been seriously misplaced, because we all agree the confusing messaging was far from optimal. Heck, it was absurdly ridiculous.

BUT…

…. When President Obama responded to Jon Stewart Obama was not talking about the “messaging”, he was talking about the “event”.

So therefore EVERY CINTILLA OF BACKLASH for this horrifically worded response is ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATELY PLACED. (more…)

Diffusing The Weapons of Misdirection

This is a follow-up to our previous outlining of intentional media manipulation during the last Presidential Debate – Specifically with CNN and the Obama Campaign.   Their coordination is beyond refute at this point.   Backstory Here and History Here.

Previously I shared:  Occam’s Razor –  Ladka is a NY Dem minded ideologue.   However, if he was “registered as a Democrat” the Alinskyites would have chosen a different front man.    Bottom Line Ladka aligns himself ideologically with Dear Leader.   Hence, his “handlers”, while known or unknown, will carefully guide him into the spotlight…..  

Water follows the path of least resistance.   So does ideology.   This Kerry Ladka guy is beyond a doubt a David Plouffe coordinated OFA strategic manuever.   Just watch…..

Many readers and commentators posted discussion about the Libyan questioner “Kerry Lakda” and the ideology behind the approach.   Initial research into Ladka is available HERE.

As the days advance, the cloud covering intentions are removed.   Today is no exception.

Why would random undecided voter, Mr. Kerry Ladka, of Long Island NY, be calling media outlets, media pundits, and requesting to be on their shows? (more…)

We noticed this Update over at TheUlstermanReport from WH Insider.   I think he has the name misspelled, but the right guy the Obama Admin is targeting.   We have outlined before and are familiar with a Benghazi terrorist named “Ahmed Boukhatala“.   First their tip:

(Via Update from White House Insider)  Have a heads up for you.  This comes directly from the Old Man.  Military intelligence may have tracked location of a guy called “Khattalah” who apparently organized the Benghazi attack.  Check media reports for name.  Obama to order drone strikes or possible all out bombing operation.  Says it appears imminent.  Obama will then make claim “perpetrators brought to justice” to squash Benghazi questions and play part of hero.  “Bin Laden Version 2 “  If accurate, this scenario would fit with the earlier rescue operation scenario you had sent me earlier.  That went to sh-t so now they are recalibrating the same general idea with an updated version of it.

I have not heard anything resembling something this specific.  Doing double time trying to confirm.  Nobody in Romney camp aware of this.  Or if they are, not tipping their hand. (more…)
