Well, it finally happened. The mainstream media have figured out that Benghazi is a big story and potentially a serious national security scandal. After weeks of silence, a plethora of mainstream media news stories have popped.
As he has from the get-go, Eli Lake makes news, writing: On the night of the 9/11 anniversary assault at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, the Americans defending the compound and a nearby CIA annex were severely outmanned. Nonetheless, the State Department never requested military backup that evening, two senior U.S. officials familiar with the details of military planning tell The Daily Beast. Lake observes that although assets likely would not have arrived in time to save Ambassador Chris Stevens, military backup may have made a difference at around five the following morning, when a second wave of attackers assaulted the CIA annex where embassy personnel had taken refuge. It was during this second wave of attacks that two ex-SEALs working for the CIAs security teams Glenn Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed in a mortar strike.
However, Lake is no longer the only reporter hammering away at the case.

Romney after popping his head up to mention Benghazi, got whacked for it, and burrouged deep under ground himself.
The media, as well as I, believe he should likely blast the story wide open, on Monday, before the media can skewer him for even asking questions about this travesty.
Leave a comment where?
Huma is the conduit to the brotherhood.
We'll see if he was correct on Tuesday.
I'll have even more respect for him if he goes after a lame duck Obama on Benghazi.
Don’t forget how he stood by and did NOTHING to aid the Iranian students in their protest and attempt to overthrow that regime over there and win their freedom back. In fact, he said now was not the time. The BASTAD!!!
There is no difference...OBAMA is trying to BLAME HILLARY...the state dept faded with the arabs...jarret is as bad as abedin...both radicals...
I agree with you. glad that someone else has problems sometimes typing.
i will correct you, if i may that is the “BASTARD”. you forgot the “R”
however, i consider them all “sissybitches”. a bastard didn’t have a choice. a sissybitch does.
blessings, bobo
Oh, me too. I *would* like to see him crack this story. It is a story worthy of courage to at least be seen questioning, “Why?”
THINK THINK is OBAMA and the elite MEDIA acting like a WINNER ?
obama is running on the REVENGE NARRATIVE...why is NY getting 90% of FEMA’s Attention...on LINY huge FEMA TRUCKS are giving away free electric generators, pulling mobile home ...THERE IS NO SUCH THING in NJ ...32% of the states population is without electricity...Princeton 50 MILES from shore is running on its own cogeneration for a week BECAUSE two huge tramsmission lines, not easilt replaced have stopped compressors that pump nat gas for starters...
Has the MSM been taking a nap when they hear negative things about Obama? Are they waking up? It is getting late. They have one extra hour to get busy tonight when the clocks go backward not forward.
Petraeus was actually on hand, attending an event at the Canadian Embassy and then watching the film alongside other prominent Washingtonians at the movie theater in Chinatown. Also in the crowd were “Argo” cast members John Goodman and Bryan Cranston, along with former Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife, State Department official Huma Abedin. Affleck explained why he invited his “good friend” Abedin, who in turn brought along her husband. “The reason why she is here, is she was instrumental in helping us shoot at the State Department,” Affleck said. “As you noticed, we shot at the real State Department ... our production designers were allowed to go inside and look at the seventh floor and recreate it.”
Postelection Benghazigate ping
They plan to save themselves, and Obama if they can, but will break with but a few drips until he is elected, or run off.
Afterwards they will try and salvage Hillary’s and buhrock’s reputation, as cover this. Democrats are Marxists now and should be watched like a hawk for what they have done to the foundations of a once great country, for treason.
Start with cleaning them out of our schools and bring back our classical education, or we are done.
I wonder if this means that the media think their man is going to lose. This way they’re covered when the Republicans start impeachment proceedings.
(dream on)
Romney has been getting daily intel briefings. He cannot legally discuss classified info, unless it’s already been leaked. That’s why some of his surrogates are talking about it, they don’t get the briefings. Issa and Chaffetz haven’t been talking about the ‘annex’ issue. They can’t do so publicly.
Correct. The time nears where America has to clean out the White House stables of the human excerement. Anyone with divided or un-American loyalties must be put out of government, even those elected!
I have come to the conclusion the MSM was waiting, waiting, waiting for Romney to bring up Benghazi again and then they would spring into action with that CIA timeline they were holding back. They could then spend the rest of the election cycle criticizing Romney because they had the correct story.
Romney remained quiet.
democrats play checkers; Romney plays chess.
