BREAKING: The president knew the truth about Benghazi

In a blockbuster report, John Solomon, the former Associated Press and Post reporter, has ferreted out the president's daily brief that informed him within 72 hours of the Sept. 11 attack that the Benghazi attack was a jihadist operation.

Citing officials directly familiar with the information, Solomon writes in the Washington Guardian that Obama and other administration officials were told that "that the attack was likely carried out by local militia and other armed extremists sympathetic to al-Qaida in the region."

He adds:

The details from the CIA and Pentagon assessments of the killing of Ambassador Chris [Stevens] were far more specific, more detailed and more current than the unclassified talking points that UN Ambassador Susan Rice and other officials used five days after the attack to suggest to Americans that an unruly mob angry over an anti-Islamic video was to blame, officials said.

Most of the details affirming al-Qaida links were edited or excluded from the unclassified talking points used by Rice in appearances on news programs the weekend after the attack, officials confirmed Friday. Multiple agencies were involved in excising information, doing so because it revealed sources and methods, dealt with classified intercepts or involved information that was not yet fully confirmed, the officials said.

Solomon cautions that there were bits of evidence pointing to a spontaneous attack but, as Eli Lake of the Daily Beast and others have reported, he writes: “Among the early evidence cited in the briefings to the president and other senior officials were intercepts showing some of the participants were known members or supporters of Ansar al-Sharia — the al-Qaida-sympathizing militia in Libya — and the AQIM, which is a direct affiliate of al-Qaida in northern Africa, the officials said.”

From what is being observed nothing is sneaking up. Good idea to focus.

“Obama and cronies have been using the United Nations as a cover to start wars in the Middle East.”

I don’t think many people believe this, however, I have for the past 5 years. Nobama is, what appears to be a small piece of glacier floating in the water. What you don’t see is the monster below the surface, which are foreign governments like the Saudis, the Muslim world, the UN, the Chicago mafia, socialist and communists. This is a global takeover. They want one currency, one government and one law for everyone. They orchestrated the overthrow of the Egyptian and Libyan governments, and put their people in power. It’s all coming together nicely for them. Folks better wake up.

The real story and question is why did the president kill those four Americans in Benghazi?

Remember when the Republican leadership went to Nixon and convinced him to resign. That was over a third rate burglary and no one died. What are the odds that the Dims would do the same if there was irrefutable evidence that 0bama committed treason. I thought so. Dims put party over country every time. Every time.

They’re all too focused on the video cover up. That issue is important but nearly as critical as to why the CIC allowed Americans to die without lifting a hand to assist.

Obama and Hillary can blame the deaths on a mistake, an operational decision that in hindsight should have been handled differently, and the American sheeple who have paid little or no attention to this matter will give them a pass.

However, if it is firmly established that Obama, Hillary and their henchmen deliberately lied to the American people about the video for political purposes, that would be more difficult to sweep under the rug.

Politically speaking, the cover-up is worse than the crime.

[Fu-fu2]

I feel the same.

“We’re well beyond the gop being anything more than comic relief. They are defenders of the status quo. I don’t intend to waste my time with them.”

Point well taken.

I’ve never seriously considered the 3rd party route, but there comes a point when there’s absolutely nothing left to lose. Benghazi and election theft may have done it for me.

The sad reality for me is that I think we’ll reach critical mass before the next election. Maybe that’s the reason for the pervasive negativity that permeates this site now. Between those who think it’s probably too late and the psyops ppl who are trying to convince everyone else it’s too late, .... let’s just say there’s a different ambiance around here now!

The obastard knew within MINUTES, or maybe even weeks BEFORE, that this was a terrorist attack and anyone who says differently is dumber than a box of rocks.

Anyone whosoever who thought it wasn't a terrorist attack from the jump is intellectually challenged.

[Texas Songwriter]

They not only watched them die. They ordered the 2 men who save the other 30 not to do so. So....when Panetta/Joint Chief of Staff/Obama told them three times to ‘stand down’, they were ordering the killing of the other 30 people who were recued...CONTRARY TO OBAMAS ORDERS. OBAMA,in essence, ordered they allow the other 30 DIE. This is the kind of man who presides over us all. What malignancy!

[BlatherNaut]

You will find a charlatan doing both.

Agree. The aggressive drone war in pakistan and the lavish Hawaiian estate conflict with the Muslim/Communist ideologue theories. Could be he’s nothing more than a greedy opportunistic narcissist.

Is the breaking news that a reporter actually wrote this in an article?

[Joined2Justify]

>I just keep wondering why Obama had to overthrow the government in Libya? Did Gaddafi attack us and I haven’t found out about it?<

Gaddafi was running his big mouth saying how great it was for a Kenyon to be President. Also how great it was that the USA finally has a Muslim President.

Check the news reports about 2 weeks before “the mission”

That’s what it smells like to me

[justa-hairyape]

See your point. Was driving with my sister through Detroit and we decided to drive past one of our childhood neighborhoods near 8 mile. Well, all the old houses in the neighborhood were gone. Replaced by a grass field. An entire neighborhood wiped out by liberal terrorist policies.

[Repeat Offender]

It wasn't 0bama that divulged that.....the NYT told the enemy about the cellphones while W was still a first term president.

That isn't to diminish all the other "leaks" from the 0 admin; just trying to put credit where credit is due.

That said, I agree that we can state the 'what' without compromising the 'how' .......especially when it is pretty obvious.

Knew within 72 hours, heck, he watched it happening in real time in the situation room. They had feed from the drone and the surveillance camera inside the building. The CIA pieced together the film from both the drone and surveillance cameras and showed it to the Congressmen. That is what Obama saw on 9/11. If he is too dumb to know what he was watching, he should not be POTUS. My guess is that Obama ordered the stand down immediately after watching the ambassador being dragged out of the building and carried through the streets. Senator Dan Coats told CNN the video was 'combination of video from a surveillance camera and a drone'. He added: 'It gave us a good picture, from the surveillance standpoint, what was happening.'

“Has the Republican establishment written the rules in a way that makes it impossible for us to overcome? This last question is what I really want to hear addressed since that’s our only option without abandoning the party in favor of a new party.”

A hearty AMEN to that.

Obama thought the Arabs would love him for turning Egypt and Libya over to the Muslim Brotherhood. He was soooo mistaken. Obama says he is a black man. Arabs buy and sell black men.

This is what I posted on an earlier thread:

Ok, here’s my personal analysis of what happened on 9/11. Some of it is based on the facts that were revealed yesterday after the Petraeus testimony, some of it is based on statements by Obama and some of it is pure conjecture.

First all, there was a group of Obama top advisors watching the events as they unfolded in Benghazi, watching on a screen in the situation room.

Obama claims that issued the order that we do whatever it takes to get those men out of there (the ambassador at least). So I will take him at his word.

Then a little later they see the dead or dying body of the ambassador being dragged out of the building and paraded in the streets of Benghazi by the terrorists. (No they weren’t taking him to the hospital as Hillary claimed)

That is when Obama issued the stand down, figuring that it was over, too late, nothing could be done and he didn’t want to further anger the terrorists. Obama never gave a second thought to the others at the CIA facility a mile away.

Obama gave up and went to bed because he had a big day of campaigning planned and the rest of the people in the situation room (probably Panetta, Biden, Clapper and a couple of others) told him that they would stay and monitor the situation.

Then the second wave of the attack started and Panetta and the others made the decision not to wake Obama and to do nothing. It was a giant Charley Foxtrot and it was all their fault.

So, they came up with the cover story, including the idiocy about the ambassador being carried to the hospital, and the false narrative about the video. I think that they also came up with the idea to blame Petraeus if the narrative began to fall apart, which it did.

For that reason, I believe that Clapper played a large role in the creation of the false narrative.

That’s a lot of coordinating. Anything’s possible, I guess. But I think easy answers are best.

THE TESTS OF TRUTH

1. Logical consistency.
2. Agreement with experience.
3. Economy of explanation.

I think there’s some grifters at work fooling people and stealing money. This fits Test #3.
