Minutes after the American consulate in Benghazi came under assault on Sept. 11, 2012, the nation's top civilian and uniformed defense officials -- headed for a previously scheduled Oval Office session with President Obama -- were informed that the event was a "terrorist attack," declassified documents show. The new evidence raises the question of why the top military men, one of whom was a member of the president's Cabinet, allowed him and other senior Obama administration officials to press a false narrative of the Benghazi attacks for two weeks afterward.
Gen. Carter Ham, who at the time was head of AFRICOM, the Defense Department combatant command with jurisdiction over Libya, told the House in classified testimony last year that it was him who broke the news about the unfolding situation in Benghazi to then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The tense briefing -- in which it was already known that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens had been targeted and had gone missing -- occurred just before the two senior officials departed the Pentagon for their session with the commander in chief.
According to declassified testimony obtained by Fox News, Ham -- who was working out of his Pentagon office on the afternoon of Sept. 11 -- said he learned about the assault on the consulate compound within 15 minutes of its commencement, at 9:42 p.m. Libya time, through a call he received from the AFRICOM Command Center.
"My first call was to General Dempsey, General Dempsey's office, to say, 'Hey, I am headed down the hall. I need to see him right away,'" Ham told lawmakers on the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation on June 26 of last year. "I told him what I knew...

Oh Oh time to create another Chris Christie scandal.
Holy cow! What a photo! Lady Macbeth speaks . . .
This photo is cringe inducing in SO many ways.
I pray for the families...I want them to be at peace and the truth to come out.
Full Blown Cover-Up by Obama & Hillary!!
Obama lied to the world !!
“Previously scheduled”? I thought they had to pull Obama off the golf course to bring him to the meeting?
$$$$
The date was September 11.
President Obama, lover of all things military, had spent the morning at the Pentagon for a remembrance ceremony, and the afternoon at Walter Reed actually meeting wounded military members and their families.
His teeth must have been on edge all day as he had to pretend that he enjoyed these events.
I don’t even have to imagine how much he hated hearing about an attack on one of his favored ‘outposts.’ Not because of the assault on Americans, but because he had had it with all things military.
He put his fingers in his ears after the 5pm meeting and ran away. - “to prepare for his cross-country fundraising trip on AF1 the next day.”
He probably told Panetta and the general to do whatever they wanted and not to disturb him.
I was so impressed with Rep. Wenstrup when reading this article, he went to the heart of the matter and pressed Gen. Ham.
We need many more like Wenstrup replacing the weak sister RINOs!
In my view you're precisely correct, they're both pathetic and traitorous.
Obama and I can lie and get Americans killed, and our voters will still vote for us.
What observant people have surmised from the start has been made public this week (but probably only on Fox, and down the memory hole).
The State Dept and the WH were trying to hide the fact of the CIA outpost from public knowledge. One of the military generals, possible AFRICOM said that when he learned of the attack on the Ambassador, etc, he had no knowledge of any CIA presence in Benghazi.
Every time I hear commentary about Hillary’s successful years as SoS I want to vomit. I am beyond weeping for our country.
Taqiyya it is called. The Obama nation of liars uses the same principle it appears. Jay Carney must have asbestos pants is all I can say.
* Obamacare - at least 10 of his statements are proven lies
* Benghazi - ditto

Obamacare - ditto
Use of IRS to target Obama's political enemies - ditto
Upending the Constitution for his own 'law of the land', via pen & phone
Usurping Congress' legislative responsibilities and creating law of the land in the Executive branch - ditto

What happens in Benghazi stays in Benghazi...
Obama has neither the heart or the brains to be president, commander-in-chief and just about everything else vested in the office of the POTUS.
Vile........
Hungover again?!
though the quoted is not mine ... at least I do not think is mine ... kudos with a yes vote.
Hillary lied...the Ambassador died.
