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.”

"I just learned that the original number of MANPADS floating around Libya was not 20,000 —it was 22,000."

I remember the TWA 800 episode just days before the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, in 1996. Many believe it was taken down by a ground to air missle like those SA-7s, which were available at that time. These missiles are old technology but they are effective. In fact, last October an anti-aircraft "Strela SA7" missile was fired for the first time from the Gaza Strip at an Israeli warplane, but missed its target. That we gave Libyans terrorists 22,000 such anti-aircraft missiles is one more scandal in the saga of the Obama Regime's mismanagement of the Middle East. You have raised an important point. Good for you.

Absolutely. They had their “video” excuse all set, ready to go. I’m totally convinced this was a plan gone wrong. They had their back up faux story just in case.

Which is why the Pres. yawned and went to bed. They were all ready in case it failed. Notice how NONE of this admin. seemed shocked or upset.

[eyedigress]

The bastard has now set a course squarely against our tactical command. Bath House Barry is in trouble.

[eyedigress]

He can do whatever he wants with the moral compass of Gen. Petraus but the General would never give up on his troops.

Obama is a disgrace to our Nation. It is best he be taken down that way.

[Smokin' Joe]

So much for “the most open administration in history.”

Oh but they are the most open: What other administration has so openly practiced larceny, voter fraud, gunrunning, and treason? (just to name a few things)

[MestaMachine]

The weapons weren’t going to Syria. They were being diverted to hamas in Gaza through the muslim brotherhood using the Rafah tunnels.

[Best and Brightest]

“Obama’s brilliant Middle East policy led to this. Right now it could lead to much bigger things, if the Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt gets seriously involved in Gaza and we have the first Egyptian-Israeli conflict since 1973.”

It’s been reported that missiles are being sent from Sinai, which is part of Egypt. Obama and Hillary Clinton, with Huma Abedin right there with Hillary, orchestrated the take-over of Egypt by a Muslim Brotherhood head. Huma Abedin’s parents are leaders of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and close with Morsi. A terrorist supporter is president of the United States.

Which is even more damming, since that implies Our Great Leader was/is arming Hamas with weapons to be used directly against Israel ... His Great Plan for all of us is coming together!

[lilypad]

Yawn...OK now can we get back to golf, basketball and some more vacations please?

[chrisnj]

There is no doubt the usurper knew about it from the very beginning.
They claim they can’t ‘tell’ for fear of alerting Al Qaeda, hence the ‘alteration’ of the talking points from CIA’s assessment.
OK, even if they can’t tell,
CAN’T THEY ACT?
DID THEY ACT?
NO!
Why not act?
Because there was no request for help ever?
LIES NOTHING BUT LIES!
There are evidences upon evidences that there were requests for help.
So did they intentionally let the Americans die by not sending help?
Oh they say it is not safe to send help .....

Who can argue with these lame excuses?
The lamestream media surely won’t.
The spineless congress gritters just put up a show.

AMERICA, THAT IS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR - A GANG THAT GETS AWAY WITH MURDER!

This is BS. He knew within 10 minutes.

That is correct. There is nothing that goes without reporting to him. I am certain he has ordered all minions to report ALL incidents to him immediately. Remember he has a Blackberry, and that thing rang with this news within minutes. He knew immediately.

I pray his lies find him out.

[b4its2late]

He doesn’t attend those daily briefs.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The coverup was for the CIA to gather weapons in Libya and send them to Syria.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Over 50% of voters believe him, which is really sad.

[Gabrial]

Corrupt authoritarian leaders have always controlled and used mass media to lie to the populace.

This is nothing new at all on the world stage. It is just a huge disappointment the US has sunk this low.

[Cheerio]

Bears repeating to the sheeple of America..

AMERICA, THAT IS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR - A GANG THAT GETS AWAY WITH MURDER!

“Arabs buy and sell black men.”

That is part of history the ignorant brainwashed blacks today have failed to learn like which political party enslaved and practiced racism in the Senate/House and as governors in many states for close to two centuries. A little hint, it wasn’t the Republicans.

Arabs have been selling blacks for centuries. One of my direct line ancestors and a younger brother were given money. My ancestor was a Brit sea going captain, who got money and a ship. They were given money to leave England to allow their older brother to stay and run the estate/business. The younger brother ended up in Italy, and I don’t know much about him.

Anyway, in the late 1690’s this ancestor of mine stopped off in a port in Africa on his way to the what later on became the states. He bought a slave girl, who became his wife. They settled in one of the Carolina coastal areas. The Arabs at that time controlled all of the sea ports in Africa, and they controlled the slave business.

She was probably kidnapped by someone like Jesse Jackson and sold to the Arabs, who in turn sold her to my ancestor.

There are affirmative action blacks today, who believe that evil white Republicans kidnapped blacks and sold them as slaves in Africa in the 1600-1700’s and still do it today.

They are the same idiots, who voted for an Oreo, whose black lineage which apparently were not from slaves. Maybe, his ancestors kidnapped ancestors like mine and sold them to the Arabs to be sold as slaves. The slave kidnappers did not become slaves as long as they kidnapped other blacks and traded them to the Arabs to be sold as slaves.

Hell, he knew it in real time! Stop this crap.

There's a reason there's a Situation Room in the WH. It's not just for photo-ops during big storms. This week's testimony established beyond any doubt that there was at least one live drone feed during the Benghazi assault. No one has disputed it. Congressmen of both parties have seen the footage. That footage was running live in the Situation Room. While Zero was in the WH. If he managed to watch the bin Laden raid, he sure must have been watching this.

[Triple]

You are correct!

[freedommom]

I think it’s way more than that...

That annex was hugh ..
what were they doing there?

google..... was bengazi a torture facility ..
eyeopening
