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.
She looks insane, pray this one doesn’t become president.
totally agree , but then again the left have been blaming others for their mishaps and screw us for a long time and all they know it the blame game.
The let hate self responsibility, it’s like a kid who can’t accept they screwed up and so they blame others and that way they can still live ion their la la land of how smart they are
13 months? I think first indictments were just shy of 3 months or so.
All the republican candidate has to say is, “if you could not stand up to Obama and save these people, how can we trust you to stand up to Islamic terrorist and protect the American people?”
People know by now that ozero spends whatever he wants on whatever he cares about.
The political line,all that matters with the regime, has been established for some time. mistakes were made in Benghazi now its time to make sure it never happens again.
This is undoubtedly the bent axels line that will hopefully save zeros bacon. IT may work. Our side is really dumb.
The only thing I can't see is how zero will be able to explain going to Vegas while all this is going on. Hard to spin, IMHO.Will people really buy its more important to do a campaign stop than secure an embassy? Can they sell that crap and get away with it?
An impenetrable wall is already erected around her...and it will not be breached.
She has already accepted "full responsibility" in the Benghazi matter....and, as she always says at the end of her Looney Tunes cartoon gigs, "Th-th-th-that's all, folks"

You must be living in an alternative universe. No one gives a damn what the cost of this screw up was as long as Obama is president. The bastard should be impeached and convicted, but he won’t be. Unfortunately, the impeachment process would be counter-productive. If the House were to pass a bill of impeachment, it will fail spectacularly in the Senate and the flying crap would land on the House Republicans.
The electorate who voted for Obama cannot admit to themselves that they are as monumentally stupid as they are. They will never recognize how bad a president this bastard is because they cannot admit to themselves how wrong they were.
No matter what the consequences of electing this sorry son of a bitch, there is a majority of the electorate who cannot live with themselves if the admit to themselves how moronic they are.
Many versions, but the punch line is always the same :)
“IMO: All was kept quiet to get him back in office.”
You are right. Everything was known about that night from many sources. It was well described right here on FR. The question is what were they really trying to hide and willing to kill those men over that they would not send help. It had to be really big.
This is part of the puzzle. Obama and his crew have been supporting terrorists in these countries. Benghazi is the tip of the iceberg and was/is the ground zero.

Actually at the time as I recall bill and hill had nearly 100 mill between them(that was acknowledged) when her campaign over. The trick was not to use their money to neutralize her debt. The only reason they even paid the debt was so she could run again and hit the same people up all over again saving some measure of credibility.
Fast and Furious blew over, this will, too. There is absolutely no backbone on Congress to do anything about this.
Bingo!
Word on the street is she is heading to Becks Blaze network .
Sharyl Attkisson, the Emmy award-winning investigative reporter, is in talks to leave CBS News ahead of contract, POLITICO has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation cite disputes between Attkisson and network executives, including CBS Evening News executive producer Patricia Shevlin, as the cause for the talks, though the specific issues could not be confirmed.
“I am under contract at CBS and I have not quit,” Attkisson told POLITICO in a written statement. She declined to comment further. CBS News declined to comment; a request to speak with Shevlin was redirected to the press office
My guess is everyone there,in Benghazi, knew too much. They had to die and zeros terrorists were the perfect storm to do it in.
On June 19, 1972, it was publicly revealed that one of the Watergate burglars was a Republican Party security aide.
On March 1, 1974, a grand jury in Washington, D.C., indicted several former aides of President Nixon, who became known as the "Watergate Seven": Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell, Charles Colson, Gordon C. Strachan, Robert Mardian and Kenneth Parkinson, for conspiring to hinder the Watergate investigation.
That would be 22 months.
” They’re like conservative rottwilers, tearing apart pieces of meat.”
Amen, Viennacon.
No honor among thieves.
Sadly, nobody’s going anywhere. Teflon coated with Slick 50 and Mobil 1. If anybody falls it’ll be some lowly mid level puke. That’ll be the extent. I mean, how would it look if the first ever half-rican American was tossed out of office? What would the world think of us? Me, dump him and toss him in prison along with the hildebeast.
“As much as I would love to see that. There isn’t a snow balls chance in Hades this will ever happen.”
That’s what I’m kind of afraid of, too, but miracles can still happen, can’t they?
Not miracles. Prayers being answered. Last week was the national day of prayer and I know many people who prayed evil leaders be removed from office. Maybe God will answer that prayer.
The other explanation is the Potus was either incapacitated do to some substance ingested, with someone doing something where he couldn't be interrupted , or just plain scared to make a decision.
