Hillary Clinton reveals what REALLY led to Benghazi massacre - and demolishes White House claim
Daily Mail UK ^ | Oct. 12, 2012 | Toby Harnden In Washington

Posted on 10/14/2012 11:06:17 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

The State Department has said that it never believed the September 11th attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was the result of a protest over an anti-Islam movie - directly contracting the rest of the Obama administration.

By trying to distance her department from the inept and deceptive handling of the Benghazi attack, which left U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American officials dead, Hillary Clinton could help herself politically for a 2016 presidential run.

A dramatic new account by the State Department reveals that Stevens was locked inside a 'safe room' choking to death from diesel-heavy smoke as the building around him burned to the ground.

Alongside him was a security guard, tasked with the impossible choice between staying in the deadly room - or facing the rocket-propelled grenades and machine-guns outside.

Eventually the guard slipped through the window (cut)

No-one saw the ambassador alive again - another agent tried desperately to enter the safe-room, but could not find him anywhere.

The State Department's insistence it never bought the story - expressed by the White House and Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations - that a crude anti-Islam film made in California triggered the attack gives ammunition against Obama both to the Romney campaign and congressional Republicans.

State Department sources have said that Clinton has never forgotten that Rice, who served in her husband Bill's administration, was an early supporter of Obama. Rice has ambitions to take over from Clinton if Obama is re-elected but the Benghazi debacle could scupper her chances.

In a briefing on Tuesday, State Department officials said 'others' in the executive branch concluded initially that the attack was part of a protest against the film, which ridiculed the Prophet Muhammad. That was never the State Department's conclusion, reporters were told.

It’s the missiles! Why else would they attack that facility? They weren’t out to kill an Ambassador, they were out to stop us from recovering those missiles. Obama and Hillary gave those missiles to the terrorists by their incompetent actions. Think about it! If those missiles are used in a terrorist attack, they’ll be traced back to Obama and Hillary’s actions! They aren’t covering up because their incompetence killed a US Ambassador,they’re covering up because their incompetence might cause a huge terrorist attack. This means the end of the Democrat party.

When did he try? Stevens was in there for some time because a video showed the mob pulling him out.

Don't know for sure but it feels like more details are coming on this.

If so, it will be seen as another cover-up because the administration did not reveal the info earlier...it seems like they're trying to manage the story beforehand. They've already got the Stevens family saying they don't want the Stevens death discussed anymore...probably a pre-emptive move.

-- Mrs Clinton went along with the scam ... --

As far as we know, she initiated the fiction. Her plausible deniablity as being the originator depends on the chain of communication being kept unknown.

Hillary would have more credibility if she would go on TV, tell the world that the current administration sacrificed the ambassador on the altar of political correctness so as to please his co-religionists. If she would then resign in protest, I might start believing her.

The terrorists got to stevens while he was alive...

That first day I asked a Copt Christian friend from Egypt what was being said there locally...

I was told he had been alive and they had him for some time before he died...

That was BEFORE it came out that he was alive and raped...

Get the popcorn ready. The Hildabeast has unsheathed her claws. I read this article last night. It looks like it was spoon-fed by Hillary to the Brits and obviously contains her slant and attempt to cover her more than ample butt. One needs a scorecard to keep up with the lies and counter-lies coming from Hillary and Obama. This article is full of half-truths, disinformation, deflections and just plain lies.

Everybody is missing the point that the WH, the State Dept., the Pentagon, Special Forces Command in North Africa, Nato leadership - everybody, from the top down - knew exactly what was happening during the Benghazi attack - audio and video - yet the took no military action to defend our consulate, Ambassador and staff. OVER THE ENTIRE SIX HOUR ATTACK!!!

The Operational leadership sat on their hands and failed to respond with helicopters or whatever to save lives. This is Obummer's team.

That is the tragedy, that is the coverup.

It starts with a trickle & then becomes a flood. Hillary will try to protect her ‘legacy’ & then O’s folks will try to blame someone else, & in the meanwhile Col. Hunt’s info that they had live video or audio of what was going on in the Benghazi safehouse will get around.

Even with a domesticated press, the Dems didn’t learn the lesson that the cover-up is what eventually gets you.

Funny how many people in the 0bama regime are skilled at coming up with fairy tales. If they’d only had some adult organization and agreed on one story, they might’ve been able to sell it.

Choking to death in that particular building in a safe room... Then someone slips out a window. Perhaps he slipped out through the safe curtains on to the safe veranda, and slipped on the safe bunny slippers?

Lots of Freepers know what we're talking about but just can't post. This is one of those moments for me.

Yes, those 10,000 to 20,000 missles (stingers?).

btw, what is a window doing in the bathroom of a safe room?

Regardless of how the events actually played out, it’s irrefutable proof that this administration and its state department are incapable of properly running things. They’re either woefully inept or they’re treasonous, either way they MUST be removed from positions of power.

This attack went on for six hours in the middle of the afternoon in Washington DC. They were in constant communications, even images were sent. They were facing a of 170-200...the consulate would innevitably fall without assistance. The scandal is not about the desperate fight at the consulate in Benghazi on September 11th, it’s not about faulty communications, it’s not about a failure in intelligence. It’s about bad decision making before, during and after the attack on the consulate.

Consider this assessment:

Wait a minute. Didn’t the bitch herself condemn and blame that video? This doesn’t hold water.

But wait - Hillary says the video caused the trouble. But, then again she says Islam is a great religion. So, who knows what to think of this administration...

It’s her State Department that decided to spend money on Chevy Volts in Vienna instead of reliable security in Libya.

Actually the money (over $100K) was spent on a charging station for the embassy's Volts, not for Volts themselves. That story was posted on FR within the past few days.
