New Benghazi Testimony Confirms White House Had Time to Respond
PJ Media ^ | December 4, 2013 | Bridget Johnson

Posted on 12/04/2013 3:29:39 PM PST by Hotlanta Mike

Members of the House Intelligence Committee learned in a closed-door briefing yesterday that more contractors are corroborating the report that the Obama administration had plenty of time to respond to the attack on the Benghazi diplomatic facility.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) called the new information “outstanding testimony.”

“And essentially what they were able to prove today, they basically backed up the other contractors who were on the ground in the two previous hearings. So this is an ongoing investigation,” Nunes said Tuesday evening. “And I think they gave us a lot of good leads today and I feel very comfortable moving forward with where we are at today.”

The congressman confirmed the White House claim that the attack was sparked by protest over a YouTube video “was a completely lie, and we always knew that.”

“But what I think, some important testimony came out today. So these gentlemen found out about this right around dusk. And they knew the ambassador was missing, and they were in Tripoli. So, and then you have this whole time, you’re talking about roughly 9 to 10:00 at night, until 5:00 in the morning,” he said. “And at that point, you know, essentially the attack was still ongoing.”

And the WH cabal still has yet to release an “iconic” photo of Hussein in the Situation Room the night of the attack — or even say if he was even there.

And it's EASY TO PROVE !

Military Scramble Order Overseas, How They Work
First, I've got over 26 years working in military control towers, most of them as the watch supervisor/crew chief on duty.
Scrambling aircraft to respond to urgent situations normally starts at the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The scramble order comes down through a secured phone call on a direct line.
In the attack on the U.S. embassy on Benghazi, the drone control would have been from MacDill AFB, FL, by U.S. Central Command, and would have been in direct contact, or maybe even remote control to the situation room in the White House.
Watch this 4 minute 48 second video Inside the Situation Room.
The pResident SHOULD HAVE issued to order to scramble fighters to Benghazi, to get there in minimum time.
Then he SHOULD HAVE issued a second order scrambling AC-130 gunships to respond to Benghazi, and have them stand by for more orders. This should have been controlled by the pResident, who should have monitored and responded with guidance from his Situation Room, Read
Here's one more piece of information.
Like Rush said:

Now we know that Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack live.

I know from experience in the government (over 30 years) that the communication system allows for IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION to the SITUATION ROOM,
as well as other agencies, of notification of a critical situation such as this.
I'm sure technology has changed and only gotten better since I retired, but read this with focus on FLASH OVERRIDE and FLASH.
There is more you need to read.
The Pundit Press has videos worth watching at "Under God" Removed By Obama During Inauguration Pledge.
Read "Under God" Removed By Obama During Inaguration Pledge on Free Republic with all its comments, and know that we were warned of this.


This has been planned for a VERY LONG TIME.
Obama is solely responsible for this.
Hillary claimed “No Knowledge” of gun running
and told Rand Paul he needed to ask the CIA
.


Let's look at some of the facts.
So, let us remember. For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ). then watch William Federer explain it, from Jan. 25, 2012 at CC Chino Hills, CA. It's a MUST WATCH for everyone,Christians, Athiests and even Muslims!

As retired military myself, I've seen the damage of "keeping secrets" about bad leaders.
Obama is EVIL, pure and simple.
Please watch Glenn Beck with Trevor Loudon & his book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".
Then watch the 29 minute 13 seconds video Trevor Loudon- An Urgent (and chilling) Message for America.



Barack Obama and the Enemies Within


Obama may be feigning "incompetence," thinking he's too sly, being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" since his mentoring was from Fabian Fascism..
The "Establishment Republicans" will probably NOT want to IMPEACH the TREASONIST Barack Hussein Obama II.
But it's better for the country that Obama suffer the penalty, the strongest penalty for his actions, and his inactions.
Let's look at the Presidential Oaths of Office.
Now who among us really believes Obama did any of that ?
To Obama, that was "Just words. Just speeches! "
Damn him ! Damn him to hell !

I'll finish this with asking you to read Watch the 18 minute 56 second documentary video "Absolutely Uncertain" at "theBLAZE.com" or on YouTube.com, narrated by Irina, the 23-year-old “Jewish New Yorker” and a former Obama supporter .

One other suggestion, read DID OBAMA WANT STEVENS DEAD?
The language is a little abrasive, but spot on. Also read:

Read and watch all the videos from Could assets have reached Benghazi in time to save lives? [Ret. Lt Gen Boykin-Huckabee] and especially comment #44 and comment #57.

You know, I will admit to being an everyday freeper about a year ago, but I have seen my faith in my fellow Americans totally blown away by the 2nd election of this muslim POS.

Not to mention that I have broken all ties with my own nephew...who used to be a liberal who did nothing for society...graduated from High Screwel, 10 dead end jobs in 8 years...when the lazy bastard worked at all....then he told me he was joining the US Army...was going to be a medic...got out after 4 years even more of a liberal piece of trash than when he went in...I got to thinking we can't beat the 12 years of liberal drivel they drive into these kids anymore...someone please tell me I'm wrong.... 2 terms of Obama has me thinking that Americans are too stupid to be worth saving.

If we end up saving this country, and that's a big if, we have some tough cleanup in aisle 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,etc...there are people here who are not worth saving.....

No one seems to point out is there is no way to know how long this type of conflict can last, so you immediately send help. It’s like saying we didn’t send a fire truck because the lady on the phone said it was a small kitchen fire.

If you are lucky, they are getting their ducks in a row. Dereliction of duty is a high crime, I think.

Maybe he can hide behind someone else for Fast and Furious or the IRS deal or the NSA deal or even Obamacare. But, everyone can understand what it means if he knew what was going on and left those people to die.

Which is exactly what happened.

`WH Had Time To Respond’
Make no mistake about it, let me be clear and say this about that: 1. The American people simply didn’t understand, or 2. the White House just didn’t explain what went down well enough for us.
September of 2012: Election in two months? Hello?
The president had a fundraiser to attend and Hillary smelt booze and a party.
See, getting Obama to simply say `Yes’ to killing Osama ... well, it had been like pulling teeth for Clinton, or like getting Hitler out of bed on June 6, 1944, so the Secretary of State preferred to get drunk than to try to rescue low-level employees. And an ambassador. Too much work!
In any event half the country will accept that it was, 3. Bush’s fault! Period.
So what difference does it make? The important thing is that Obama was able to go on in November and steal the election fair & square.

Tripoli rescue team told to stand down.

Hicks: Special Forces ‘Furious’ Upon Being Told to Stand Down video at link

"According to Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission in Libya, special forces were “furious” when they were told to stand down during the Benghazi attack. “I will quote Lieutenant Colonel Gibson,” Hicks told the House Oversight Committee in hearings today, “He said, ‘This is the first time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than somebody in the military.’”"

This might be considered a stand down too.

Whistle-blower: Botched talking points hurt FBI probe of Benghazi attack

"Another whistle-blower questioned Wednesday why more military assets were not deployed sooner during the Benghazi terror attack. Mark Thompson, a former Marine and official with the State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau, said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for a specialized team -- known as a FEST team -- to be deployed. This is a unit made of special operations personnel, diplomatic security, intelligence and other officers."

BENGAZI - Why Wasn't FEST Activated?

Here is a third way a "stand down" policy was implemented IMO.

Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die

"Nordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999. The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. ”If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli?” Nordstrom wrote."

New Benghazi Testimony Confirms White House Had Time to Respond

However, Bath House was making whoopee with Reggie Love at the time, so a different set of priorities was in effect. Unfortunately for fellow gay Stevens.

“there’s a chance that her shrillness will yet pay the piper..?”

Gotta agree with you I think she is too conservative for the radicals on the left of the Dem party and the fact that this is till ongoing is to take her out of the next Presidential race - look for a rising minority candidate within their ranks - maybe another mixed race (Hisapanic/Black/White/Korean)candidate who they can use.

I was watching Megyn Kelly last night and she was discussing Benghazi with a Senator I believe. She asked where BO was that night and he avoided the question. This is not the first time I have seen Republicans on the investigating committee dodge this question. I found it to be disturbing. Where was he and why is it so bad that they won’t question that most important question of the whole debacle. Do they know? What was BO doing? Why do they change the subject when this question is asked?
