How is it that a consulate that wasn’t very well fortified and had few defenders with weapons holds on for a six hour siege against Mortars, RPG’s and more? I have heard nothing about Muzzi casualties. Something is missing, or plain wrong in the reporting.
I posted this yesterday about whether this was all a part of Idi Obama's orchestrated October Surprise to show his steely resolve as CIC and super-negotiating powers:
Just running around without the tinfoil hat firmly in place.
1. Deny the additional security with plausible deniability that you knew nothing.
2. Tell the Muslim Brotherhood, "OK. They're all yours. Just remember, we need them released one week before the election."
3. Then sit back and look on in horror as the October Surprise of negotiating a release of the hostages just prior to the election goes up in smoke. Literally.
4. Then send a wire to the Nobel Peace Prize committee that you have a prior engagement and will not be able to accept your second Prize.
Now I am not so sure about the tinfoil hat.
I just posted this on the Facebook page of The Blaze.
Thanks much. Whatever possessed him?????????????
“Wasn’t this also the night that Obama went to bed at 11 PM EST, when the presumed ultimate killing was at 3 AM EST?”
Yes, I believe this is the case. Obama went to bed knowing the embassy was attacked. We have the literal 3 am call here reporting a United States ambassador MIA and barry hit the snooze bar.
The POTUS was in his jammies getting his beauty sleep and the US govt was paralyzed. Classic obama being unengaged and leading from behind. Nothing new.
What did the POTUS know and when did he know it? The American people need some answers from the President.
I don't think so. He didn't respond because he is incapable of making decisions of this magnitude under pressure. He dithers, instead.
And he, the son-of-a-xxxxx, sets the model for government actions...dither. If my butt was in the frying pan in some sewage pit in the middle east, this is the last bunch on earth I would want manning the other end of the comm line.
Colonel Hunt voted for Obama because he didn’t like Sara Palin. How’s that workin’ out for ya, Colonel?
Yes, I heard him say that on one of the FOX news shows a while back. I'll bet he won't do it again.
I just went to Ask. and entered the question: What happens inside an embassy under attack?
The two answers which paired with similar questions had been removed. They said, “this question has been deleted.” Why delete a question? Seems weird. Also, almost every time I go to The Blaze, Breitbart or other conservative sites, I get a warning from McAfee that the site could be dangerous.
If there's anyone that's not completely well-informed about The Benghazi attack and the regime's purposeful inaction and serial lying about it, you must listen to this Col. Hunt interview!
That Petraeus and other less shadowy political types are involved in the lies tells me there were commands given out to cover for Obambi's inaction, and the (military & executive branch) players are dutifully obeying orders.
Zero needs to agree to order Petraeus and others to testify truthfully to the Congress, but that he won't do that will confirm our worst suspicions about Barry. Zero is carrying out a war with Congress and the People Congress represent.

DISGUSTING. PROSECUTE AND IMPEACH!
Please help me get the word out. I’ve sent the link to Brietbart, the Blaze, Drudge and a site called Foreign Policy.
The good colonel helped create this mess. He voted for obummer and I refuse to ever listen to a word he says.
Ping for ping lists
maggief: The Hunt interview has been posted as a thread. This interview is explosive and mind-blowing.
As COUNTrecount said on the other thread when he posted the link:
“Col. Hunt ...explains how at least 12 command centers get IMMEDIATE info when the embassy was attacked.”
Hunt said that from the moment the call went in to Lamb, all of those command centers were instantaneously notified.
Hunt said that as soon as he heard Lamb’s testimony he was stunned. Said this is the elephant in the room the media refuses to report. He said none of what I am saying is my opinion. It is fact and standard operating procedure, but the WH refused to act or issue an order to help save our people there. They watched and listened for 6 hours and did NOTHING.
MissMagnolia sums it up (post 15)
Immediately communicated when embassy under attack, satellites & drones looking at this while it happened & the ambassador & 3 others were killed. Hundreds knew this was going on, watched/listened for 6 hours while the consulate was under attack & decision-makers were being constantly updated and DID NOTHING.... then lied about it for 8 days. Biden KNEW this was not an intelligence failure and lied during the debate about it.
This interview is devastating.
For six hours the entire military, intelligence, diplomatic and civil command structure of the United States government watched, in real time, as our consulate in Benghazi was under attack, while our ambassador and his hobbled security died.
That command structure did nothing. Afterward, they lied outright to cover-up their own culpability for political reasons. An intelligence failure, under the circumstances, was impossible.
State Department officials have revealed for the first time that there were no demonstrations or protests outside the Libyan Embassy last month and that the so called anti-Muslim video had nothing to do with the attack and murder of our Ambassador and other Americans. The White House is now saying it was bad intel that led them to blame the movie. We spoke with Fox News military analyst Col. David Hunt about these revelations.

The Congressional hearing on the Libyan attack has revealed that the State Department denied a request by American Special Forces in Libya to continue their use of a DC- 3 airplane for security operations throughout the country. Meanwhile the State Department okay-ed the funding for Chevy Volts with a charging station for the U.S. Embassy in Vienna. We spoke with Fox military analyst Col. David Hunt regarding Libya and the White House’s attempts to sanitize their accounts.
Six hours in Benghazi - live and in color. “How are we not responding, when there’s a live fire fight underway for six hours?” Candlelight vigil outside the U.S. consulate in Benghazi gets out of hand.
We still don’t know why Ambassador Stevens was in Benghazi.

Fox military analyst Col. David Hunt checked in with us again after the revelation that there were multiple listening posts which heard the cries for help from the US Embassy in Libya and none of them did anything. The State Department says they still do not know what really happened in Libya.

Will do.

Spotted: Weiner, Abedin at ‘Argo’ premiere
Former Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, made an appearance at the D.C. premiere of “Argo” on Wednesday. The couple stopped by the screening after a reception for the film, which chronicles the Iran hostage crisis, at the Canadian Embassy.
A few years ago, Weiner advised Ben Affleck — the director and star of “Argo” – on his political role in “State of Play.” But it was actually Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who helped Affleck with this movie, the actor said.
Ben Affleck finds David Petraeus remarkable, is buddies with Huma Abedin
(snip)
Petraeus was actually on hand, attending an event at the Canadian Embassy and then watching the film alongside other prominent Washingtonians at the movie theater in Chinatown. Also in the crowd were “Argo” cast members John Goodman and Bryan Cranston, along with former Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife, State Department official Huma Abedin. Affleck explained why he invited his “good friend” Abedin, who in turn brought along her husband. “The reason why she is here, is she was instrumental in helping us shoot at the State Department,” Affleck said. “As you noticed, we shot at the real State Department ... our production designers were allowed to go inside and look at the seventh floor and recreate it.”
He hit the snooze button.......
Even watergate would have gone nowhere if Nixion had been a democrat and had the modern mainstream media to cover it up for him.
