Why?… probably because he didn’t.
Important to remember two points: #1) The attack happened at 3:40 pm Washington DC time on 9/11 and lasted til around Midnight DC time. AND #2) The Tactical Operations Command officer was in immediate contact with Washington DC, “in real time”.
So Chris Wallace is asking about the following day, on Wednesday 9/12. Did President Obama meet with Security Council, or National Security and discuss attack?

This story is growing more curious by the day. As each new factual aspect is placed in the puzzle the picture becomes more clear; and stronger evidence for an attempted, albeit botched, kidnapping attempt comes to the surface.
Bookmark this official State Dept. Briefing/Report – Conference Call, because we are going to be referencing it until any more updated “Official Reporting” comes out. But right now this official story has more holes than Swiss Cheese:
[…] They set up shop in a hotel, as I mentioned. A few weeks later in June, a bomb explodes in the parking lot in front of the hotel. The group in Benghazi makes a decision to move to a new location. They move to a couple of places, and by August they settle on a large compound which is where the actual activity on 9/11 took place. So they’re in a large compound, where they remain. (the report)
If they didn’t set up shop at the compound til August, then how come there was an IED explosion there in June? When the perimeter wall was blown up and a hole big enough for 40 men was created. (more…)
This was predictable. See the below Huffington Post article intended to create cover in advance of the Second Presidential Debate tomorrow. Their Goal is to make discussing the Benghazi attack seem like political opportunism, thereby stopping Mitt Romney from leveraging it against President Obama with honest questions.
(HuffPo) The father of Christopher Stephens, the United States ambassador who was killed in the attack in Libya last month, said Saturday that it would be “abhorrent” for his son’s death to be politicized in the presidential campaign.
In an interview with Bloomberg News, Jan Stevens said the attack on Benghazi and the ensuing investigation has no place in the upcoming election.
“The security matters are being adequately investigated,” Stevens, who is getting briefings from the State Department on the investigation, said. “We don’t pretend to be experts in security. It has to be objectively examined. That’s where it belongs. It does not belong in the campaign arena.”
Since the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Mitt Romney has been critical of President Obama’s response to the tragedy, slamming the president for lapses in security at the American compound. (more…)
Sorry to be so blunt but this is INTENTIONAL MANIPULATIVE LYING by a Dem Operative following a chosen directive from the Obama administration.
The Libyan diplomatic corp had specifically requested security for Benghazi:
[…] The House letter also says that multiple U.S. federal government officials confirmed they made repeated requests for better security in Benghazi, but their requests were denied by officials in Washington.
This is what it looks like when Alinskyites are caught red handed. No lie is too big to spew, no truth is to important to stretch. The needle on the BS meter pings and breaks off. They just don’t care. They will do anything, say anything, and position anyone and anything just to retain power at all costs. They don’t care.
Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Grandholm, now a paid media pundit, is lying with a purpose. She is disgustingly telling flat out lies in order to cover for the Obama administration and create smoke screens for them to hide behind.
Now that we have the Official State Department moment by moment statement of what took place in Benghazi, Libya, there are SERIOUS issues with the divergent stories.
For the sake of this discussion thread lets focus on clarity and try to cut through the spin.
First, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was elevated to a cabinet level position by President Obama. Susan Rice works for the White House, not the State Dept. For the sake of understanding the difference, it’s easiest to say that Ambassador Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton are equals in the eyes of the administration. Ambassador Rice does not report to Secretary Clinton, she reports to President Obama directly as a member of his cabinet. Period.
So when Susan Rice was selling the Muhammed Movie protest narrative, she was doing so on behalf of the President, not the State Dept. Someone in the media needs to call out this distinction and stop allowing the White House to obfuscate. (more…)
The State Department has released its phone transcript with reporters explaining the Benghazi attack. The transcript was between Officials in the State Dept. and Reporters on a conference call. We are sharing the call content and inserting points, links and questions from our research. It is a long read.
But first, before we get to the official version of events, let’s just put this Anti-Prophet Muhammed video nonsense to rest. The State Department embassy in Cairo did not even know about the movie until they were questioned by a Mid East inquiry on September 9th:
@SheriefSfarid We've never heard of this movie, what is it?
— U.S. Embassy Cairo (@USEmbassyCairo) September 9, 2012
The protest in Cairo was organized by Ayman Al Zawahiri in Egypt to demand the release of the Blind Shiek – Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman.
We clearly outlined that with irrefutable evidence HERE. So, knowing that, and knowing there was NO protest outside the consulate, lets check out the official State Department explanation of Benghazi: (more…)
In February of this year we presented the following analysis of Syria. Before we discuss the new FSA/al-Qaeda armory let’s revisit the history:
There is a similarity between the rebel factions that sprung up in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and now Syria. In this recent video release from The FSA (Free Syrian Army) the connection is evident. They are proudly displaying the flag of al-Qaeda. This should give urgent pause to any cries of arming a Syrian rebellion; alas I hold no confidence we will do anything different.
But watch the progressive left continue to sell the narrative of a poor freedom rebellion just like they did in Egypt and in Libya, only to see the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and a Sharia-compliant governance model. Highlighting once again the shortsighted Obama policy that has given rise to radical islamists around the Middle East.
(via al-Wasat) This past Thursday, on February 16, a group of around twenty individuals claiming to be part of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), released a video message to YouTube announcing the formation of a new battalion named the al-Bara’ ibn Malik Martyrs Brigade.
It should be noted that during the Iraq war, al-Qa’ida in Iraq (AQI) also named one of their battalions the al-Bara’ ibn Malik Martyrs Brigade. There is no definitive proof that the new battalion established by the FSA is connected with the old al-Qa’ida in Iraq networks. That said, one should be cognizant of the expansive facilitation networks there were for foreign fighters attempting to join the Iraq jihad in Syria. (more…)
Many people are surprised to see Hillary Clinton doubling down on supporting what has become a Radical Islamist uprising. We’re not. This is to be expected from the woman who joined forces with Samantha Power to push “rebel” support in Libya.
Quite simply, if you cut to the chase it is the Liberal anti-Israel mindset. We outlined it here. And gave the reason for it HERE
The ideology, which by the way is the same as Jimmy Carter, has no conception of unintended consequences. If the Muslim Brotherhood rise, meh, no biggie, their choice. If Israel is isolated and comes under attack, oh well, their issue. If the Taliban/Salafists and Radical Islamists beat, abuse and punish women, not our issue.
Liberals do not stand for Freedom, they stand for Democracy. They support mob rule; they always have.
(Reuters) – The United States must look past the violence and extremism that has erupted after the “Arab Spring” revolutions and boost support for the region’s young democracies to forge long-term security, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday. (more…)
The Clinton’s are clearly on a divergent path than President Obama. Hillary just Judo’d Obama in this informative article posted in the UK Daily Mail.
In this report Secretary Clinton separates U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice from her State Department, and instead says that Rice was selling the message, and following orders, from the White House, not from the State Department. President Obama made Susan Rice (UN Ambassador) a cabinet level position – not part of State Dept.
Hillary goes on to say that THEY (State Department) NEVER felt it was a video movie that caused the Benghazi attack:
The State Department’s insistence it never bought the story – expressed by the White House and Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations – that a crude anti-Islam film made in California triggered the attack gives ammunition against Obama both to the Romney campaign and congressional Republicans.
