DEVASTATING!… CBS Publishes Benghazi Investigation – Pummels Administration
thegatewaypundit.com ^ | 5-5-2013 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 05/05/2013 5:24:41 PM PDT by servo1969

CBS released information on the Benghazi 9-11 massacre today that could potentially bring down the Obama Administration.

Buried in their report (down in paragraph eight) CBS reported, “Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned… But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.” But, counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help. CBS reported:

Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned.

“We relied on Washington for dispassionate assessment,” one eyewitness told CBS News. “Instead, they [Washington officials] were asking us what help we needed. We answered: ‘Send reinforcements!’ ”

But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.

Embassy personnel say they repeatedly asked the Defense Attache on site in Tripoli for military assistance.

“Isn’t there anything available?” one Embassy official says he asked. “But the answer was ‘no.’”

“What about Aviano?” the official pressed, referencing the NATO air base with US assets in northeastern Italy. “No,” was the answer.

Two of the four Americans killed that night died hours after the first attack began…

…Counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help in the attack. National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CBS News the CSG was not needed.

It would have been a guarantee of reelection. So there is something so damning that he passed on one of the greatest campaign moments in American politics.

Most people miss that. And when you tell them, they keep blabbering nonsense.

It is the key question: WHY would a President NOT have rescue as his REAL goal ?

It's like someone winning the lottery and purposely not claiming the winnings. There is always a reason why.

Where did you find this? Is it authentic or photoshopped? It looks so real to me.

He needed his sleep for his campaign stop the next day and couldn’t be bothered with dying people. The jerk is scum of the worst order. He has no soul. He is demonic.

Replace Boehner with Allen West or Newt Gingrich and Obama/Biden/Clinton will begin to get nervous. THEY know Boehner’s their savior.

I;ve never called anyone demonic but in this case you are right.
To know an attack were taking place, knowing people were dying and this man goes to bed and lets others deal with it, then he lies about it .

Sharyl Attkisson has been CBS's bulldog on this, she knows the full story.

Indeed she does, and had given the details convincingly since the attack happened. I follow her "stream-of-consciousness" thoughts she displays through her Twitter Account at https://twitter.com/SharylAttkisson ^. Starting at 4:49pm EDT today she laid out the timeline and the questions she's been after for the past two years, and the roadblocks put up by the administration.

She also has a Facebook page, but that is mostly finished stories, and seems affiliated to CBS corporate.

She is a great investigative reporter - wish there were more of her!

“No one in that house agreed on anything,” said David Rhodes, who is now the president of CBS News.” (BROTHER of Ben Rhodes—I stand corrected! Thanks.)

“At the White House, Mr. Rhodes first came to prominence after he wrote Mr. Obama’s landmark address to the Muslim world in Cairo in June 2009.”

Yes, think positive. Maybe John Boehner will step down tomorrow and Allen West will replace him.

Nah. Token report on a Sunday to bury it all on Monday. In the future, Obama and his fellow Communists will claim, “It was reported on but there simply wasn’t anything to it.”

Too much of a wuss in pink panties to do THAT!

(Manchelle could probably do it, but not Barry.)
