This photograph is actually a video still captured from an Al Jazeera video of the remarkable scene at the U.S. Benghazi Consulate sometime before 11:30 pm, on 9/11/2012. Four additional captioned photos can be found at my Flickr page here: First photos of Americans abandoning Benghazi Consulate emerge .

This is the first in a series of photos I will be posting over the weekend. I have added the video clip from the Benghazi compound which you can now watch here: First video of Americans abandoning Benghazi Consulate emerge

I want to thank Congressman Issa for releasing the Benghazi compound photographs after the October 10th hearing.

The U.S. news media has had over nine weeks to release these photos and failed to do so. It is time that Americans get to see what many in the news media have known about for many weeks and this is just the first set. Have you wondered how it can be that the Americans in this armored SUV could have been surprise attacked even as a U.S. drone flew overhead surveilling the area for 19 minutes before they left? Me too. Do you think there is video of the surprise attacks as the SUV made its way to the CIA Mission Annex? Hmmm, real-time video of a coordinated spontaneous protest/attack on an escaping vehicle racing down the road?

Neither the photos or the video show anything of substance to the argument that it was a planned attack. I don’t see where this is even news worthy.

For what this picture is worth these people could be going out for a pizza..............

They’re very calm. There’s a guy in a t-shirt with his arms secured behind his back.

Nothing except the resultant dead bodies of course......I can’t remember, were there reports that the Americans were dead do to rocks thrown at them.

Argument ... WTF?? Do you actually believe there is still any question about it.

You took me a little wrong. No, there is no doubt that it was a planned attack. I was only stating that the video doesn’t show enough, in my opinion, to help put a boot up Zero’s ass.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Been kinda busy.

Like I mentioned to another poster; I am not saying that the attack was not a planned terrorist attack. I am only stating that the video doesn’t, IMHO, show enough to help put a boot up Zero’s ass on the matter.
