Here is what we ABSOLUTELY will not hear:

“We had the mic in the commo room held down throughout the when attack —the brass had literally real time ears the whole time as we were terrifiedly begging for rescue. Command kept telling us Spooky was inbound and due overhead with heavy guns in nothing flat —musta heard that a million times and she never came. Overhead we could see and even sometimes see Predator so we knew the Prez knew everything that was happening in real time. A couple times early on as we were firing we thought we heard an F-18 from Sicily, which is closer than Tripoli, but every time we were wrong.

Uhhh...basically our commanders ABANDONED us totally...”

CIC was on vacation

[morphing libertarian]

thats all i got nothing from atkinson. No delineation of who did what in DC.

[The Cajun]

Nothing new that I could see, just reinforced that Obama and Hillary were lying their asses off for 2 weeks as to the movie being the cause and they knew they were lying.

The sh-t had hit the fan and the only thing OBozo was concerned about was his partying in Vegas the next day.

[Rusty0604]

What kind of obstacles did you encounter along the way?

Lara: An extraordinary amount of pressure on the people involved not to talk. And an extraordinary amount of pressure on anyone in the government—the military side, the political side—not to say anything outside of official channels. I mean, to the point where people that we’ve known for years would call people who were no longer in their positions, and they would call someone else that we knew, and messages would be delivered like that because there couldn’t be any trail linking you directly to our story.

The administration is cracking down so hard on leakers: no one wants to put anything in writing, everybody is scared to talk over the phone, people want to meet in person—all of that makes it that much harder to investigate anything.

[morphing libertarian]

If anything there is a slam shit case of Obama’s cover up of the incident with the video guy for what, 13 days, or so.

This alone is an impeachable offense.

[rodguy911]

Yeah for sure. They said over and over and over that security was failed for months, everyone knew it at every level and no one did anything about it.

Just like when the sh_t hit the fan that night the guy next in charge to Stevens was told no help was coming. That was a very seminal moment on the show. You could tell the U.S. govt. had let these guys just die for no apparent reason!!

This alone should let the viewer know there is far more to the story that has not been revealed. It's enough to impeach zero and jail Hillary but don't hold your breath. Underlings will take any fall.

If this even gets any coverage it will be up tho the New Media talk radio and us here.

After tonight if Boehner does amnesty instead of following up on Benghazi he should be shot.

[morphing libertarian]

Thanx. are you drawing up the articles of impeachment or should I?

[rodguy911]

Here is what we ABSOLUTELY will not hear: “We had the mic in the commo room held down throughout the when attack —the brass had literally real time ears the whole time as we were terrifiedly begging for rescue.

Wow this is it! can any of this be documented?

[morphing libertarian]

The whole DC issues were not covered. Would have been a good second segment.

However, it’s very clear now that the WH used the video guy to cover up their high crimes and misdemeanors. and they continued for two weeks right up through the UN speech by the Hero of Benghazi.

[Rusty0604]

Amb Stevens had a meeting scheduled with Arabian Gulf Oil Company on Sept 12.

[MNnice]

They told the whole Benghazi story without mentioning the names Of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. What a feat of journalism!

[rodguy911]

Yeah an even bigger story. Zero was doing a ten year old kenyan boy and high on drugs when Benghazi went down. Next morning he flew to vegas for fund raiser.All calls/decisions the night of Benghazi were made by val/jar.

[A'elian' nation]

I wasn’t impressed. Maybe ok for the low information voter.

Nor do I believe that OweBowMao was mentioned once.

Nor was Hillary.

It was all the fault of some vacuous government agency who should have been paying attention. Help was denied, but 60 minutes wouldn’t say by whom? Kind of pathetic all in all.

[rodguy911]

So many it’s a slam dunk! Where are our elected reps ?

[Rusty0604]

I just wonder what threats they encountered. Also, see my post #46 I copied from 60 minutes overtime.

[gaijin]

Sorry to have teased you —i didn’t mean to. I simply typed some.of what I know happened but has not been said ANYWHERE.

And though I WILL watch I feel certain the report will offer almost nothing new to FREEPERS.

AGAIN — I typed what I feel sure they will NOT say tonight.

:(

[rodguy911]

If you listen to mesta machine and I do,shes the best we have. She lays much of the blame on Petraeus saying it was his op all along.I think she is right.

[rodguy911]

This 18 minute segment should have been the entire friggin' hour. timing is suspect as well. Over a year before any major election. Why not run it in 9 months just before the 2014 elections nahhh.. forgot its cbs card carrying DBM.
