BREAKING: The president knew the truth about Benghazi

In a blockbuster report, John Solomon, the former Associated Press and Post reporter, has ferreted out the president's daily brief that informed him within 72 hours of the Sept. 11 attack that the Benghazi attack was a jihadist operation.

Citing officials directly familiar with the information, Solomon writes in the Washington Guardian that Obama and other administration officials were told that "that the attack was likely carried out by local militia and other armed extremists sympathetic to al-Qaida in the region."

He adds:

The details from the CIA and Pentagon assessments of the killing of Ambassador Chris [Stevens] were far more specific, more detailed and more current than the unclassified talking points that UN Ambassador Susan Rice and other officials used five days after the attack to suggest to Americans that an unruly mob angry over an anti-Islamic video was to blame, officials said.

Most of the details affirming al-Qaida links were edited or excluded from the unclassified talking points used by Rice in appearances on news programs the weekend after the attack, officials confirmed Friday. Multiple agencies were involved in excising information, doing so because it revealed sources and methods, dealt with classified intercepts or involved information that was not yet fully confirmed, the officials said.

Solomon cautions that there were bits of evidence pointing to a spontaneous attack but, as Eli Lake of the Daily Beast and others have reported, he writes: “Among the early evidence cited in the briefings to the president and other senior officials were intercepts showing some of the participants were known members or supporters of Ansar al-Sharia — the al-Qaida-sympathizing militia in Libya — and the AQIM, which is a direct affiliate of al-Qaida in northern Africa, the officials said.”

“72 hrs!! 72 hrs!!!! Hell, he knew it in real time! Stop this crap. We are not children out here.”

Problem is at least 51% of the people don’t give a damn.

That’s what I want to find out. How many people want to take on the Republican establishment?

Has the Republican establishment written the rules in a way that makes it impossible for us to overcome.

This last question is what I really want to hear addressed since that’s our only option without abandoning the party in favor of a new party.

“The real story is about Benghazi and why the White House allowed (or maybe wanted) the ambassador to be killed.”

many twists: transhipment of arms to Syria through Turkey (whose ambassador Stevens met with hours before the attack), Stevens had knowledge of this arms shipment and had to ‘disappear’, solidify his loyalties and intentions to Ali Khamenei ... a Gift, so to speak ...

I’ve wondered why Barry had to overthrow any of these governments, that is, if you think US security was primary in his mind. He destroyed Egypt, which was basically controllable and an ally, and has been systematically destroying all of our other former allies, either by removing their leadership or making them cease to trust us.

I guess maybe it’s that US security wasn’t primary in his mind...could that be it?

He’s trying to promote Third World Marxist-Islamism. And I really don’t know why, because while Barry thinks they’ll love him and come out to kiss his toes in gratitude...they won’t. They’ll drag him out of the WH and cut his head off as soon as they’d do it to any of us.

Look at how the Libyan radicals have been taking out anyone they perceive as Sub-Saharan African...but then, Barry will probably just change his race again and become an Arab, so I guess he feels he’s safe no matter what happens.

Well, we can certainly refuse to vote for them. When we vote for RINO's, we are asking for the GOP to run another one next time.

Romney promised to repeal Obamacare and to replace it with Romneycare, which would be Obamacare with free dental insurance. We cannot win by giving these guys any support.

72 hrs!! 72 hrs!!!! Hell, he knew it in real time! Stop this crap. We are not children out here.

The Washington Post has confused us with brain-deal liberal useful idiots. There's no way in hell that every top person in the White House, CIA, Pentagon and State wasn't 'on board' with this stuff within the first 45 minutes.

72 hrs!! 72 hrs!!!! Hell, he knew it in real time! Stop this crap. We are not children out here.

Rice was probably chosen to do the Sunday talk shows because she was the highest level person NOT in on the truth of Benghazi...

[conservativepoet]

“Not voting” for RINO’s isn’t enough that’s simply becoming a statue in the midst of battle.

We need a real identity and strategy to increase influence and power.

Romney promised to replace obamacare with romneycare?

Quote it to me.

Link it.

Never happened.

Why would you of all people be upset by anyone caught lying?

[txrangerette]

Troll.

“If I were the producer of the video, I would sue...”

That won’t happen. If he’s not already dead, he will be soon enough. Just like the coronor who autopsied Breitbart’s body died of arsenic poisoning the day the report was released to the news.

Forget the reporters, why hasn’t Rep. King and the others asked Petraeus when he knew and what communications he had with the President, the Military and State? You have to start picking off the guys below Obama so that you build up a body of evidence that he was bering informed in real time about the events in Benghazi. They’re all too focused on the video cover up. That issue is important but nearly as critical as to why the CIC allowed Americans to die without lifting a hand to assist.

Who cares when the president knew???

The real story and question is why did the president kill those four Americans in Benghazi?
