Col. Ken ALLARD: Obama knew about the attack, ignored three requests for help

The Benghazi debacle may yet make Mitt Romney president.

Barely 10 days before the election, the persistent whiff of scandal surrounding Barack Obama exploded into the banner headlines of a cover-up – at least among certain press outlets. Everything changed Friday afternoon with the stunning revelations by Fox News that CIA operatives defending the embattled consulate in Benghazi, Libya, called three times for emergency assistance while the attack was in progress. Each time, they were shamefully turned down. One of those defenders, Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, was apparently able to use a laser designator to pin-point the location of the mortar that eventually killed him. It would have been an easy shot for American pilots had any been ordered to respond. Another new and critical detail: An American drone was overhead transmitting live video of the battle scene below.

Only days before, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton airily dismissed new revelations of incriminating emails, also uncovered by Fox. Yet those messages provided startling proof of how Washington decision-makers – from the Pentagon to the White House Situation Room – must have known within minutes or hours that the incident in Benghazi was 9/11.2, the second successful al Qaeda attack on American soil. They also would have known that this well-coordinated assault killed the American ambassador to Libya, as well as three other Americans who fought valiantly to save him.

With all this information – from frantic messages sent by operators on the ground to highly detailed overhead battle-scene video – who invented the asinine idea that the attack was collateral damage from a flash-mob reacting to a provocative video? The record there is incriminating......

The ambassador was not meant to die i bet. Smoke inhalation. I bet all along he was going to be captured without a shot being fired hence the stand down orders. Obama frees him and boom,big positive public relations before the election. If,as is widely assumed we arm arming the rebels in Syria would these people attack us at this time?The whole narrative changed when the 2 CIA men went and engaged the enemy with full expectation of help. This story is likely far dirtier than it;s even being reported.

The responsibility goes all the way up the the current occupant of the oval office.

If he is reelected we will know that half the American public has its head up its a$$.

Then he had the audacity to go on TV and say “At least they took Ambassador Stevens body to the hosptial”. They were dragging his body through the streets a la Somalia.

"Pres. Romney’s going to let the Fraud slither away and will call for “healing”, won’t he?"

I don't think so.

The fact that we lost four people and the White House/State Dept. refused repeated calls for help, which was immediately available, and then watched it all in real time, and further lied about it all is bad, very bad.

"Murder will out" as the ,man wrote and eventually we will know it all.

This is an excellent summary, but I believe it is worse than this. The video, and the fact that the Cairo demonstration took place earlier than the attack, raises more questions. I believe the attack was cover for lifting weapons of the Benghazi consulate, and the Cairo mob was cover for the attack. I also believe the subsequent protest in all the other nations can be hung around an administration attempting to cover their tracks.

See Sea, this is what I was saying. I'm telling you, this was supposed to be Obama's October surprise that went so wrong when our people refused the "stand down" order.

I cannot express how much I loathe and detest this administration and the puppet known as Obama.

Retired Lt. Col. Tony Schafer on FOX News has said the very same thing.

This makes two very reputable sources saying Obama watched or knew of the event in real time and left our Ambassador and soldiers behind to be murdered.
