Military Briefed Obama On Benghazi Terrorist Attack

Deceit: Newly declassified transcripts show top defense officials who briefed Obama on the day of the Benghazi attack described it as a terrorist attack and told the president so, yet he pushed a false narrative about a video.

Just as the new book by former Defense Secretary Bob Gates confirmed what many believed, that President Obama was a politically motivated commander-in-chief who had no faith in an Afghan surge he put 30,000 Americans in harm's way to execute, transcripts of congressional testimony by military leaders confirm that President Obama knew Benghazi was a terrorist attack before he went to bed to rest for a Las Vegas fundraising trip.

Fox News reporter James Rosen examined 450 pages of declassified testimony given by senior Pentagon officials in closed-door hearings held last year by Congress. In those hearings, Gen. Carter Ham, who at the time headed Africom, the Defense Department combat command with jurisdiction over Libya, testified that he learned about the assault on the consulate compound within 15 minutes of its start, at 9:42 p.m. Libya time, from the Africom Command Center.

Ham said he immediately contacted Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey to say he was coming down the hall at the Pentagon to meet with him.

There is an issue on access to this page within IBD. The title was not at top of the page as usual, but it was in the file name when I saved the html for reference.

This is a mixture of old news and new news. But it certainly exposes lots of lies previously told by the White House.

Obama’s body was there but not his mind

[Logical me]

The entire Federal Government is full of corrupt lying bunch of criminals and need a real cleanup. It fully exposes King Obama as a rotten piece of garbage. He won his second term on a lie. If America does not dump the garbage, we are finished.

Trump for President.

[SubMareener]

No, his mind was just with the Terrorists.

Do you think it is likely to disappear?

Don’t know about his sick mind, but it’s clear he serves the wrong master.

“before he went to bed” - If he was white, much of the public would know about his (lack of) work ethic - he is lazy.

[BenLurkin]

A significant moment in history.

When a carefully calculated ethical violation — rescued a presidency.

IBD “gets it”

“What difference does it make? Well, the difference between the truth and a lie can mean saving or losing lives, or losing or winning an election, especially if the lie comes from the White House.”

I saw 13 Hours yesterday and it seemed incredible to me that the US was already announcing it was a protest of Internet movie while our guys were still fighting??? I don't know if that is/was true, could be movie liberty, but it almost made me throw up right there in the theater!

Found this from 2 years ago. Similar but not the same.
