CIA agents in Benghazi twice asked for permission to help Ambassador Chris Stevens
Daily Mail UK ^

Posted on 10/26/2012 7:33:46 PM PDT by Arthurio

It has been claimed that CIA agents on the ground during the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi twice asked for permission to help Ambassador Chris Stevens and twice were told to stand down.

Furthermore sources present during the deadly six-hour assault have said that a desperate last request for military assistance once the CIA themselves came under attack was denied, even though elite counter-terrorism units were only two hours away.

And it has been claimed there was full communication between the CIA annex in Benghazi and the U.S. military, casting further doubts on the Obama administration's assertion that there wasn't enough information to deploy forces - deepening the crisis over their handling of the attack on September 11th and its aftermath

I guess Barry and the ‘RATS didn’t “have their back”.

Here’s the Fox news timeline sequence of events for anyone who wants to study this. An amazing aspect of what these American Hero’s encountered,

At 2:10 you see the escape vehicle(armored car) gets fired on from a ‘crowd’, 2 grenades were thrown under it, then hit with machine gun fire from 2 feet away;

Treason. Plain and simple.

Probably KNEW the attack was going to happen. Subverted by the huge amount of money coming from the Middle East to support their campaigns (thus, booing God at the convention), and wanted to intimidate the American people from criticizing Islam so planned the whole shenanigan to make it look like it was a protest against the film.

I would NOT be surprised if that is close to the truth of what happened. Almost all of our national government and most certainly the media have all been compromised by foreign interests.

Another big question - the Seals asked for permission to assist and THREE TIMES they were told to 'Stand down.'

But on the third denial of permission the Seals decided to go anyway.

Why were they denied permission to try to save the other people? I think this was a set-up, else why the denial.

Just another bump in the road to Obama’s vision of marxist hope and change.

The good news is that they went anyway. I see this as compelling evidence that a lot of military and civilian personnel serving overseas have completely lost faith in their chain of command.

Is it any wonder that the U.S. soldiers at that base in Afghanistan were all disarmed when Leon Panetta showed up for a visit? I've suggested before that a full-blown insurrection among U.S. military personnel may not be such an outlandish possibility.

Ok, I am confused. Was the "safe house" actually the CIA location and the two former SEALS brought the Ambassador back to that location? How many Libyan a-holes did our brave men drop. I hope a ton of them.

Was the plan for the Ambassador to be captured, but the two SEALS/CIA agents interrupted Obama's little campaign stunt? Was the plan after that to 1). get the blind sheikh released or 2). stage a dramatic Obama sending in the Calvary rescue? If 2). why did they not just come help the SEALS and soak up the glory? Were they two rigid with a screwed up plan?

Obama, Hillary and the whole cabal need to be frog marched out of Washington. This sordid affair is nauseating.

Just to keep things clear, these awesome men were former SEALs, working in some civilian capacity either with or for the CIA. The exact nature of their employment has not been clarified, and may well never be clarified.

Congress did not authorize the Obama/Clinton pseudo-clandestine operations in Libya.
We are not at war with Libya.

Only the POTUS as CINC, could authorize USA military forces to assist the USA representatives in Benghazi, and only Obama had the authority to do so.
And let's all be clear on that point.

He obviously choose to NOT allow any of the readily available military forces under his command to act to save USA civilian employees working for his CIA and his State Department, while they were under attack in Libya.

'This happened within a few hours and it was really over before, you know, we had the opportunity to really know what was happening,' said Panetta.

Well, I knew that Panetta was a Communist stooge, but I didn't know that, judging by his way of speaking, he was also a Valley Girl.

Treason. Plain and simple.

And the One responsible should receive the Consitutionally mandated punishment.

Michael Savage told about an US Special Forces gun ship in the air with lazer guidance systems trained on the terrorist shooters. They were waiting word to kill them. No word was given.

I thought in the early days some e-mails were quoted that said the two ex-CIA guys were part of a team rounding up and destroying the 20,000 "lost" Ruski MANPAD missiles.

I remember when Leon Panetta was Clinton’s Chief of Staff. It was during that time that TWA 800 was shot down on the night of July 17,1996 by a Stinger missile off of Long Island. It was Leon Panetta who took an active role in the coverup, appearing nightly on TV to spin the latest yarn about how the incident was being thoroughly investigated. If the truth were known, Clinton’s reelection chances would have been destroyed.

This is like the new show Last Resort, except with actual dead Americans, and actual battlefield relief of command for questioning the conspiracy’s wastage of innocent life.

Well..., all I can say is you were caught up in the “fog of war”.

1.CIA operatives may include former SEALs, but ex-CIA operatives are rarely former SEALs. The vast majority of former DOD Special Ops wouldn't join the CIA for reasons that would seem inexplicable to civilians. It is what it is.

2.The “lost” portable SAMs in Libya are 100% USA Grade A, Obama/Clinton provided (FREE CELL PHONE) quality munitions.

The lost “Ruski” stuff is all in Iran and Syria now, via Iraq, both before and after the whole Bush's fault meme.

Do try to keep up!
