DEVASTATING!… CBS Publishes Benghazi Investigation – Pummels Administration
thegatewaypundit.com ^ | 5-5-2013 | Jim Hoft

CBS released information on the Benghazi 9-11 massacre today that could potentially bring down the Obama Administration.

Buried in their report (down in paragraph eight) CBS reported, “Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned… But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.” But, counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help. CBS reported:

Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned.

“We relied on Washington for dispassionate assessment,” one eyewitness told CBS News. “Instead, they [Washington officials] were asking us what help we needed. We answered: ‘Send reinforcements!’ ”

But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.

Embassy personnel say they repeatedly asked the Defense Attache on site in Tripoli for military assistance.

“Isn’t there anything available?” one Embassy official says he asked. “But the answer was ‘no.’”

“What about Aviano?” the official pressed, referencing the NATO air base with US assets in northeastern Italy. “No,” was the answer.

Two of the four Americans killed that night died hours after the first attack began…

…Counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help in the attack. National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CBS News the CSG was not needed.

If she is considering a 2016 run, she will not take the risk of alienating the Obama money men and zombies.

But she will absolutely not take the blame nor will the MSM allow it to be pinned on her.

She and Bill are going to have to devise a way to divide the baby.

If Bozo is impeached, Biden would be president, and that could embolden him enough to run against Hillary for 2016, with the advantage of the bully pulpit.

In her mind it doesn’t matter that she’s just as guilty as Ozone. Libs have no conscience.I hope they both go down.

Anybody who was following the story closely on Free Republic as much as six months ago suspected most of what’s in these reports - all that was needed was verification by a governmental authority or a media that took its role as a watchdog of government seriously.

It’s almost amusing that CBS is so far behind the average Freeper (and only there because they couldn’t hide from the story any longer).

Was this on the CBS evening news tonight? Comes on at 6:30 PDT—if it’s on, I sure want to see it.

Sharyl Attkisson has been CBS’s bulldog on this, she knows the full story...she is also looking to get out of her contract early with CBS....WEDNESDAY is going to be very bad for the little boy king. It will be interesting to watch how he acts over the next few days....I’m guessing he’ll go into the petulant 14 year old smart ass he’s accustom to when he’s exposed..


Like starting an international incident...in Iran?

If that were any where near true, we would be reading about it on CBS, NBC, Fox, ABC etc and not just some mom-n-pop *.pundit.com

Nah. She could destroy Hussein and still have the money men. They’re finished with Obama as if he’s a used condom. The man’s a lame duck. No gun control, and a healthcare system that is going to fall apart on its own according to its architect.

Obama should be impeached - and Hilary Clinton should be prosecuted for dereliction of duty. I am grateful for the congressmen who would not let go of this story!! They are heroes. But it is unbelievable that CBS would actually be fair! Maybe they see the writing on the wall - the investigation that is breaking - and they don't want to be caught with pants down.

They are both owned by Soros...he will roll with what ever tide is to his advantage. If the purple lipped bastard has to go, Soros has the hildabeast.

That’s what I’m kind of afraid of, too, but miracles can still happen, can’t they?

I think John Kerry is going to throw Hillary under the bus. he wants to run for president again, and blowing her up makes him the instant front runner for 2016

Bingo! I bet we can count on that. He'll also call on his rabid base to come to his aid. Gonna be an interesting summer.

Will they also blame the GOP for the YouTube video lie?

For the scrubbing of the talking points to eliminate any references to al Qaeda and terrorism?
