# Revelations shed new light on the effectiveness of the CIA at Benghazi and the level of support they were given

# When the CIA annex come under attack they were denied a request for military help despite a counter terrorism team being two hours away in Italy

# There was full communication between operatives on the ground and headquarters - with the ability to laser guide drones, planes or special forces to enemy targets

It has been claimed that CIA operatives on the ground during the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi twice asked for permission to help Ambassador Chris Stevens as bullets were flying and twice were told to stand down.

Furthermore sources present during the deadly six-hour assault have said that a desperate last request for military assistance once the CIA themselves came under attack was denied, even though elite counter-terrorism units were only two hours away.

And it has been claimed there was full communication between the CIA annex in Benghazi the U.S. military casting further doubts on the Obama administration's claim that there wasn't enough information to deploy forces and deepen the crisis over their handling of the attack on September 11th and its aftermath

This is, no doubt, a CF of epic scale.

Impeachable stuff, if there weren't already a massive landslide on tap !

Somebody should reach out to John Kerry to inquire whether Amb Stevens feels he’s better off now than 4 years ago...

“CIA Requested Help, Were Denied Three Times”


Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.

This modern day Judas Escariot ——POS -—is without doubt the worst individual to ever sit in the White House.

Too busy to be bothered with men dying, Men he could have saved.

Anderson Cooper (was there any bigger Obama crush victim in 08 than AC?) has actually been covering this story.

His show last night had a fact I’d never heard elsewhere. The Facebook post not only claimed “credit” but the terrorist group posted details of the attack. Certainly evidence!

But most of MSM ignores or lies about the events. Sad. No wonder their ratings are tanking.

This is getting smellier and smellier. There is something absolutely inexplicable under the surface.

A theory: Through the Muslim Brotherhood (Obama, Holder and Jarrett have plenty of discreet means of communicating directly and indirectly with them) the Obama crew wanted to stage a false-flag kidnapping (and hostage holding) of the Libyan ambassador. The brotherhood would subcontract out the work to an Al Qaeda affiliate in Libya. Shortly before the American election, the MB would betray the sub-contractors, work with the Americans to enable the heroic Obama to rescue the kept-in-the-dark Ambassador and sweep to victory in the election.

It all fell apart due to the ineptness of the Libyan “sub-contractors” and the heroic resistance of the Americans (from whom Obama had withdrawn security in the weeks before 9/11/12). It’s been desperate attempts by Obama and his appointees to cover up ever since. The coverup’s ramparts have been falling apart at a rapid rate. High crimes and misdemeanors for Obama and numerous felonies for his henchmen (and henchwomen).

Did they get a phone call from the White House?

They get daily calls and messages I am certain

knowing that they would not leave there alive.

The difference is that it didn't have to be the Alamo. We could've supported them and they would be alive. There could've been piles of jihadi.

New America Foundation isn’t exactly a non-partisan group.

Why would they deny reinforcements? I’m trying NOT to think conspiracy here.

Don't we have any military officers or CIA officers with balls? Regardless of what 0dumb0 and the commie pig bureacrats at State dept would say, how can our military & CIA stand by & watch & listen to our consulate being overrun, defended by only 2 former Seals. I don't even know if they had ammo for their weapons.

The military officers & CIA officers should have just gone in on their own, and then claimed the response back was garbled and unable to be heard. But I CANNOT understand how our military & CIA could stand by and watch & listen to the battle going on, and capitulate to our commie pig-in-chief 0dumb0! Unbelieveable!

The most obvious answer - fear of another failed attempt like Carter’s.

“There’s a broader lesson to be learned here,” Mr. Obama told “60 Minutes” correspondent Steve Kroft at the White House. “And I — you know, Governor Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later. And as president, one of the things I’ve learned is you can’t do that. That, you know, it’s important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts. And that you’ve thought through the ramifications before you make ‘em.”

And yet we are told that we should not be “Monday morning quarterbacks.” That we can’t send troops until we know the situations on the ground.

These CIA operatives wanted to go to the sound of the guns, just like all warriors.

A shame “Libya” in this graphic is incorrectly spelled.

Obama administration's claim that there wasn't enough information

BS!! That is not barry's style to have all the info. His 'Acted Stupityly' remark is proof of that. Obama was derelict in his duties NOW and for the past four years. Note: 'his' duties in his commie mind is not the duties of a president of the USA. That's is why he ran on 'change' - the POS EVIL COMMIE b*astard and all his anti American pawns who voted for him.
