Catherine Herridge is a straight news reporter, but she can barely contain her anger and disgust over what she has learned about the State Department letting the Benghazi consulate be fed to the jihadi wolves and her realization the Obama administration flat out lied about the anti-Muslim video causing the attack.

Know what I heard her say? She gave obama an out. It’ll all be laid at the State Department. And probably someone well below Hillary.

And she said someone once told her not to look for a conspiracy when it may be incompetence. Not an exact quote.

Thanks for posting! Saw this tonight. Noticed that Katherine gave Obama credit for being incompetent on this and didn’t appear to suggest sinister movtives to what happened in Bengahzi... instead mentioning the election.

I think more sinister issues will surface, particularly with regard to why what was going on there in the first place, including who was really behind the video... see a common element in the spin below?

1.
Hillary Clinton Speaking at a press conference from the State Department on September 13, 2012
“Let me state very clearly — and I hope it is obvious — that the United States Government had absolutely nothing to do with this video.”

Press Gaggle by Press Secretary Jay Carney — Golden, CO, 9/13/12
“As Secretary Clinton said today, the United States government had nothing to do with this movie.”

Hillary Clinton Speaks at Ceremony as Bodies of Americans Killed in Libya Arrive in the US September 14, 2012
“We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with.”

4.
White House spokesman Jay Carney held a press briefing September 14, 2012
“The reason why there’s unrest is because of the film. This is in response to the film… this is not a film that the United States government had anything to do with. We reject its message and its contents we find it both reprehensible.”

5.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, goes on morning shows at NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and CNN. September 16, 2012
Rice called the attack a “direct result of a heinous and offensive video that was widely disseminated, that the U.S. government had nothing to do with.”

Sept. 18: Obama was asked about the Benghazi attack on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
“As offensive as this video was and, obviously, we’ve denounced it and the United States government had nothing to do with it.

President Barack Obama’s speech to the UN General Assembly — full text September 25, 2012

Noticed how she reiterated her disgust in response to Greta’s allowance for incompetency.

This just confirms what I have been saying for some time. In order to occupy this consulate, an interim facility that did not meet required security standards, a signed wavier had to be issued. The only people that can do that are the A/S Secretary for Diplomatic Security (Eric Boswell), the U/S for Management (Pat Kennedy), or Hillary Clinton.

I am 100% certain that this wavier exists because it is a Congressional requirement. I say this advisedly having served 28 years as an FSO and supervised post RSOs.

Good for Catherine Herridge, proves she’s human and cares about what’s right.

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, that whole repulsively putrid bunch and their horrendous inaction and lies should have every reporter screaming about Benghazi.

In the absence of answers from the White House, people will begin speculating.

I myself cannot think of any reason why someone would lower security and then flat out deny military assistance it in a situation where threats of violence are increasing... especially on the anniversary of 911 weeks before a presidential election UNLESS... this was far more than incompetence and more like an orchestrated October surprise.

A caller in to Hannity today made a very good observation that Hannity really didn’t pick up on very well.

These bozos in the white house were watching real time the events that were unfolding as these Navy Seals were requesting permission to go in and assist when they were told to stand down.

This means that observers in the white house were not content to just watch 4-5 servicemen and an ambassador be killed... they were prepared to watch at least 30 people be killed or ABDUCTED.... and the 4-5 navy seals pretty much foiled whatever plans had been laid to create a situation that Obama could manipulate and resolve right before the election.

That’s right... I think Obama actually set this thing up.

And until he is willing and able to come forth with viable answers as to what happened and why, I must assume as a matter of speculation that he had a hand in orchestrating this attack at some level... most likely by proxy.

High treason is punishable by death.

Time for Obama to start answering questions... TRUTHFULLY! or like the birth certificate issue, it will never go away.

Greta looked stunned when Herridge nailed Hillary's State Dept. as culpable. IIRC, Greta's hubby was a big-time Hillary operative back in the 2008 primary.

I noted yesterday that Greta pointedly placed the blame AWAY from Hillary in the interview with Bing West by getting West to list the chain of command down from Obama and making sure that the viewers were aware that Hillary was NOT in that chain at least on Sept 11 when the “failure to protect” occurred.

Now Herridge has thrown Hillary back in the soup with this classified document entirely within Hillary's State Dept. chain of responsibility, a document obviously leaked by a whistle-blower who couldn't take the lies anymore.

It’s still unbelievable: the admin was watching the attack happen in real time and did nothing. Unbelievable. Why didn’t he send military help? Obama has to answer that question. Even after he gets voted out of office. If he did no other scummy thing in his four years, he deserves to get voted out for that act of dereliction of duty and cowardice.
