As the House Oversight Committee prepares to question Benghazi witnesses on Wednesday, we need to remember that the accounts of personnel on the ground have long contradicted the account the CIA adopted just weeks after the attacks took the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
In early Nov., the CIA said the consulate's earliest call for help came in at 9:40 p.m. on Sept. 11. But the Blue Mountain Security manager, "who was in charge of the local force hired to guard the consulate perimeter," says he realized something was happening and put out calls for help at least an hour earlier than that.
The manager said that, even if he hadn't called, it was evident to those on the ground that, "fighters were gathering in preparation for an attack."
According to people on the ground from both the U.S. and Britain, in the hours before the attacks road blocks were being set up outside the property to isolate the consulate for the pending aggression. Because of this, these personnel say the CIA should have known trouble was brewing long before 9:40 p.m.--even without being alerted by the Blue Mountain Security manager.

Don’t let the pesky facts get in the way of a good yarn.
oops ping -— more timeline problems
...Liar In Chief....
I should have looked first. This current article is referencing 2 articles from early Nov 2012-—i.e., no new news, but a worthwhile look-back.
Not evident to those in Washington who didn't want to see it.
What personnel on the ground? I’m sorry. I received the “Giving away military secrets will put you in Leavenworth” briefings several times in my military career. I understand OPSEC. But nobody gets to talk to the people at the second facility in Benghazi? We can’t hear anything from them? Seems kind of nazi-like to me. I’m guessing that our enemies probably took pictures of everyone who was in that facility, anyway. LET THE BENGHAZI FORTY SPEAK!!!
