Thoughts from a demented OLD mind.. I have thought for several months that this group in the administration would attempt anything to remain in power.
Please read this comment below posted at Brietbart on 10/30 prior to reading Newt's comments. The article where this comment was posted was Billboard: America or Obama-You Can't Have Both.. Comment: C.O. Jones received a phone call from an old friend that has been in Washington D.C. for years and is fairly well-connected politically. What she told Jones was ugly and sinister, yet very compelling. She said she had received information from someone high up in White House circles, and wanted Jones thoughts. No, there is no leaked email, no concrete proof, and this article is based on hearsay. Jones usually does not engage in or repeats hearsay, but if this is true, it could be the biggest story in 50 years. According to her, Barack Obama, wanting an October Surprise, had secretly arranged with the Muslim Brotherhood for a kidnapping of our ambassador. Then sometime in October before the election Obama was to orchestrate some great military action to rescue Ambassador Stevens, causing all of America to cheer Obamas strong foreign policy and bravery and making him look like a hero. After all, his supposed killing of Osama Bin Laden bounce had long since faded. Thus, sweeping him to victory in November. Imagine the headlines an d talking points. The election would be a lock. The Muslim Brotherhood has every reason to want Obama re-elected in November and have an American President sympathetic to their causes. Not to mention an administration filled with Muslim appeasers. Therefore, they agreed to aid in these theatrics. Unfortunately for Ambassador Stevens and three others, the Brotherhood could not control the hired thugs that were to perform the kidnapping.
This old man believes this is exactly what occurred.. Big O arranged the raid at Benghazi for a "political" reason. I do not think HE intended for anyone to be killed. BUT You cannot control the actions of CRAZIES handling your orders without proper supervision.
Big O had already given his people the scenario of what was SUPPOSED to have happened. His people here in the US followed their instructions well - IT WAS THE FILM..
Big O was in the situation room.
Big O gave the instructions to rescuers to stand down --HE DID NOT WANT THE INNOCENT DEMONSTRATORS TO GET KILLED.
It might upset his Muslim Brotherhood Friends..
Just my opinion of what went down based on stupid non MSM information I have read.
So far at best a fourth hand account.
Sounds about right. Also, wasn’t there a report that a few days later, a tunisian guy was killed in egypt that was thought to have been involved? If the plan fell apart like
this, they would certainly have to have eliminated the
person with the knowledge rather quickly.
That's the best fitting puzzle piece.
Narcissists believe their own story. He really believed it was a protest, and he was sincere on Letterman and The View.
So he issued the order to stand down as he placed the lives of Libyan Protesters above those in the safe room.
It all matches up good as any other explanation.
So the cover up didn't start until it became clear that they actually were terrorists later on. That's why the confusion with Petraeus and Panetta now. The decision was at the time, perhaps, a judgement call and the POTUS erred on the side of a few dozen Arabs over a couple of Americans.
We already KNOW that this is how the RoE are elsewhere in the Middle East, so we should expect nothing better here.
The Press may know this too. They certainly agree with the RoE. They would easily trade a few SEALs for the lives of oppressed Arabs that we might call terrorists anyway....(man-caused disaster creators.)
Explains the debate and everything as to why we are where we are on this story.
Nah, this rumor has been out from the conspiracy theorists from the beginning. The truth is much better than the fiction.
Overreach from our side is exactly what the Romney team would be afraid of and thought could get out of hand in a razor close election.
The military leaks are the ony unimpeachable sources for what was seen and heard, what was done and not done.
With 2 of those hands being Newt and US Senator that Newt claims is reliable and has the opportunity to know. (I get third hand, but will not quibble.)
So...we have to hope for a leaker either from the government OR from the MSM (perhaps they really are the state-run media and part of the Obama government). Hopefully, some patriotic and righteousness-filled individual at the MSM will break through the Obama election Behghazi blackout and leak these emails!
Obama -> WH Staff -> Reporter -> ... -> Senator -> Gengrich
If there are such e-mails documenting a stand down order from the White House despite numerous calls for help from Benghazi, Obama, if he has any honor, should immediately resign from the presidential race.
No one could be that stupid. No way do I believe obummer set this thing up. I mean, it’d be great if it panned out and our bastard-in-chief was ousted but this is to incredulous to believe.

On this side of the aisle, we refer to this as a “ Vince Foster “ resolution to the problem.
On the other side of the aisle , it is called “Collateral Damage”
Is someone doing a grand experiment to test the mainstream media for bias. Just to make a point. Bet they aren’t disappointed.
“This is not a terrorist action.” This is why POTUS, Susan Rice and Hillary claimed the youtube video was responsible, because Barky told the counter-terrorism team to stand down because is was just a flash mob of civilians at the compound...
There is a rumor I want to be clear, its a rumor that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Advisers office telling a counterterrorism group to stand down, Gingrich said. But they were a group in real-time trying to mobilize marines and C-130s and the fighter aircraft, and they were told explicitly by the White House stand down and do nothing. This is not a terrorist action. If that is true, and Ive been told this by a fairly reliable U.S. senator, if that is true and comes out, I think it raises enormous questions about the presidents role, and Tom Donilon, the National Security Advisers role, the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who has taken it on his own shoulders, that he said dont go. And that is, I think, very dubious, given that the president said he had instructions they are supposed to do everything they could to secure American personnel.
Hmm. Somehow every leak moves the heat away from Hillary Clinton?
Who would she leak too? Who’s not covering the story?
...just say’in.
(again)

Very simple, Hillary refused to go on those Sunday shows 5 days after the attack. Instead Susan Rice, Ambassador to the UN was sent out thereto promote the storyline that the violence was the result of an obscure youtube video...
“the Brotherhood could not control the hired thugs”
“Big O . . . DID NOT WANT THE INNOCENT DEMONSTRATORS TO GET KILLED.”
The hired thugs lost control once the SEALS showed up, and the so-called innocent demonstrators were expendable if need be - so that’s a line of bull right there.
No, if it was a planned October surprise gone bad, the only reason it didn’t work out as planned is because of the two Navy SEALS who weren’t in on the plan. They showed up to bravely defend the compound because it was not in their nature to cowardly sit by and stand down!
Read a couple of reports back then that stated Stevens was taken to the hospital after he was recovered or found. Why would they take a dead man to the hospital ?
I think your explanation is spot on. I too think that 0zer0 saw what was going on and really believed it was a protest like the Cairo protests earlier. But that was his mistake. He then made the decision to stand down, and by the time he realized this wasn’t a protest but an attack, it was too late because everyone was dead.
The libs will try to excuse 0zer0’s mistake on the “fog of war”, but as Genoa said below, that doesn’t hold water because they were watching the attack in real time, and had real time calls for help that 0zer0 turned down. That can never be spun as mistake, but will only be spun as either gross incompetence or deliberately turning you back on Americans in need.
They had no choice but to run with the “video” as the cause. When it all became clear as the intelligence poured in, this was Al Qaeda, the mistake was known to everyone in the WH.
So they had to go into cover up mode, and have been in cover up mode ever since to protect 0zer0. The problem for the WH is more than one player is not going to fall on their sword for 0zer0. We have already seen that with some of the retired military, and expect the newly “fired/retired” admirals will sing. The WH knows they can’t keep the lid on this forever, they are just trying to get past election day.
We have to keep pushing this past the lamestream media so it keeps getting traction so the leaks keep building until the lamestream media is forced to cover it.
This also explains why Bill and Hillary had a legal team look at all this. These emails will come out eventually. Whoever has them, can send copies to more than just 2 networks. They are just waiting for those networks to launch, and if they don’t they will send them somewhere else. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “fired/retired” admirals didn’t leak them, and that is why they were relieved of duty.
What is really sick is 0zer0 saying “we will hold whoever made mistakes accountable”, when he knows that it is HIM who is responsible. He is such a narcissist that he can’t help but look for a scapegoat somewhere else. He truly is evil, not just incompetent.
WH staff (or CIA/State) -> Senator -> Newt -> public (WH staff -> network)
or
Network ->Senator->Newt -> public (network confirming story w/ senator)
or
Senator -> newt -> public (Senator ->network)
The chain can start with anyone that had possession of the email.
