Herridge On Cable Month Before Benghazi Attack: "Smoking Gun Warning Here"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 10/31/12 | Catherine Herridge

Posted on 10/31/2012 10:18:30 PM PDT by Roberts

"I really believe, having read it, that it is the smoking gun warning here. You've got this emergency meeting in Benghazi, less than a month before the attack. At that briefing, the people are told that there are ten, ten, Islamic militias and al-Qaeda groups in Benghazi. The consulate can not sustain a coordinated attack and they need extra help. This information goes directly to the office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. So, again, you have the culpability of the State Department. This is a very specific warning that they're in trouble, they need help and they see an attack on the horizon," FOX News' Catherine Herridge reported on FOX News' "On the Record" Wednesday night.

"I believe based on this cable the point that was being made, that they wanted made publicly, not just in a classified study, is that the warning that came from Benghazi was very specific. It said 'we can not withstand an attack,' the militias are everything, al-Qaeda is here. This was known to the U.S. intelligence community as well. And that they really could not see a situation where security was going to turn around. They send that it was trending negatively," Herridge further reported.

"I can't think of anything that would be more specific than if these groups had emailed the State Department and said, 'Here's the time, here's the place, and here's the method of the attack,'" she said.

So Hillary is in bed with AlQaeda? Wonder what exactly is in all this for Hillary, there has to be a dollar amount? This mess gives new meaning to her malicious accusation on the Senate floor asking what Bush knew and when did he know it.

AND Hillary's role in Watergate hearings. Wasn't it her advise that Nixon should not be allowed legal counsel to defend himself.

What exactly is Abedin's job? I can only guess she has all access to all Hillary's incoming and outgoing correspondence. This if true alone compromises Hillary's position as Secretary of State. Same with Obama with Jarret and Axelrod in the White House.

Hired him to do what? What is truly bizarre is the willing accomplices in the JonStewart media. In a Muslim world they would be the first in line to find a new profession. Makes no sense.

-- What exactly is Abedin's job? --

Nominally, deputy chief of staff and aide. She's been "with" Hillary since 1996.

I really don't know what degree of access and influence she has, but obviously she is "trusted" by Hillary, and considered capable.

It turns out, however, that Abedin herself is directly connected to Abdullah Omar Naseef, a major Muslim Brotherhood figure involved in the financing of al-Qaeda. Abedin worked for a number of years at the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs as assistant editor of its journal. The IMMA was founded by Naseef, who remained active in it for decades, overlapping for several years with Abedin. Naseef was also secretary general of the Muslim World League in Saudi Arabia, perhaps the most significant Muslim Brotherhood organization in the world. In that connection, he founded the Rabita Trust, which is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization under American law due to its support of al-Qaeda.

So since 1996 Hillary Clinton, as co-president, has had by her side a person with intimate knowledge of Muslim Brotherhood activities.

No wonder she was so desperate to have that 'soviet-style' commission established to blame President Bush for ignoring all that intel.

"I’d bet money on a Pulitzer for Herridge"

She will deserve it for the job she is doing. Remember though the Pulitzer has been politicized for a long time by lefties.

Now, if she were a latter day Walter Duranty................

>>Whether it happens before the election or not I don’t know but I believe this will doom both Hussein and Clinton when it all comes out. <<

Speaking for myself, I would rather see them take their time and do this right, regardless of election timeline.

I want this out ASAP, and justice takes at least a LITTLE time.

If it comes out AFTER an Obama defeat, it is double-damning, since politics cannot be so readily blamed.

Who leaked the cable?

Is there really at least one true American in the Department of State?
