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

Posted on 05/05/2013 5:24:41 PM PDT by servo1969

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.

This is as far as the See?BS investigation will go. They will abandon any effort to tie responsibility to Obastard.

My Fiat just rusted, too, but I think it was iron, not calcium.

I can’t wait to see Chafetz and Gowdy eviscerating the admin during these hearings. They’re like conservative rottwilers, tearing apart pieces of meat.

How can hillary throw bozo under the bus? Doesn’t he own her? didn’t he pay her campaign debt?

Libs have no conscience and no loyalty. She will get even for losing to the idiot in 2008 if it means saving her political career.

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..

I've been reading the tea leaves. I suspect he'll see this as a good week to divert everyone's attention with some kind of military action against Syria. His Flying Monkeys have been moving the stage scenery into position. If the balloon goes up the media will fall into line.

The media is hoping Zero will pull the Executive Privilege trick again and let them off the hook.

Now why would she do something as crazy as that? Was that her acting on her own or was she under orders from the triumverant of Obama, Jarret and Axelrod?

When I think about these people begging for help and the horror they went through it makes me cry. When are we going to find out WHY no help was sent when they say it was available? Say what you will about George W. But he never would have gone to bed knowing we had Americans being slaughtered. He would have sent everything in to save them.
What in the hell kind of Administration is Obama running?

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

Who was it that replied that no help was available? And why did they reply no, since it is now apparent that help was available?

Given the speed with which the 0bama cabal is trying to pull sh!t, there IS something in the winds, and they know it.

They want a gun incident that could be bad, it happens. On cue.

They need a blowup of some kind, it happens.

They need dead Americans, they show up—in Afghanistan, Boston or Sandy Hook.

They need to flood the country with illegal.....Middle Easterners......er, Mexicans, they show up.

There is no one left, and we must stand. Turn to and let the enemy come to your own territory, even if that’s the hills of hicksville.

I think the words ‘misunderstanding’ and ‘confusion’ will be the out for 0bama. ‘Honest mistake’, etc.. 0bama is never accountable for anything and I don’t see why that would change now.

I'm inclined to agree. Obama and the rest of the thugs are hard at work shredding documents, threatening witnesses, etc. The fix is in.

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

Three Facts

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.
