Raises major questions about what U.S. was doing in secretive facility.
The extensive Senate report on the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attack dropped a major, unreported bombshell: The commander of U.S. forces in Africa was not aware of the existence of the besieged CIA annex.
The staggering detail raises the question of what was transpiring at the fated annex and nearby U.S. special mission and why key members of the Defense Department, including those responsible for responding to emergency situations, were not aware of it.
Questions now must be also raised as to why, on the night of attack, command of an elite unit known as C-110, or the EUCOM CIF, was reportedly transferred from the military’s European command to AFRICOM, or the United States Africa Command.
... Page 77 of the report further divulges that Gen. Carter Ham, then-commander of U.S. Africa Command, “was not even aware there was a CIA annex in Benghazi at the time of the attacks.”
Continued the Senate report: “We are puzzled as to how the military leadership expected to effectively respond and rescue Americans in the event of an emergency when it did not even know of the existence of one of the U.S. facilities.”
On the night of the attack, Ham was placed in charge of the C-110, a 40-man Special Ops force maintained for rapid response to emergencies. The force was trained for deployment for events like the Benghazi attack. Command was transferred from the military’s European command to Ham in the middle of the attack

Thanks for posting this, I’ve read it each time you do and it still makes me as sick as it did the first time I read it.
A covert mission requiring so much deniability that even the General who would have been responsible for commanding the special forces that could rescue the people in the annex didn’t know the annex existed.
The Special Ops were transferred to Ham in the middle of an attack on an invisible target filled with 40+ Americans who were supposed to die there.
Next month will mark 1 1/2 years since the attack on Benghazi. No one has been held accountable, and no one has disclosed what the heck was really happening in that annex.
>> It was a gun/weapon running center to AQ in Syria, that`s why the cover up and the GOP won`t touch it with a 10 foot pole, cowards and co-opted as they are.

> That’s not big enough for this level of cover -up. That’s the excuse they’re trying to sell...
That there’s pretty big; what do you suppose it is they’re covering that’d be even bigger?

Sooner the better
… Unbe-freaking-lievable! We put a diplomatic mission in one of the world’s hot spots and there is absolutely no military contingency to come to their aid if they are attacked, because the military hasn’t been informed that they are even there!
Pretty much answers the question as to why Stevens specified “nonmilitary” security. Active military involvement and coordination would have blown Obama’s op.
Well put.

Thanks, Jet Jaguar.
Wait... what? And by whom?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3114220/posts
Official: Al-Qaeda has enough arms to take Baghdad
“It was a gun/weapon running center to AQ in Syria”
Surprise it was Iraq.
Don’t forget that the black Muslim Chicago street gang that controlled the community that O organized had gun running deal with Kadaffi as part of their domestic terrorist plot here in the USA.
Jesse Ribinson (as in Michelle ) Jackson is doing life for his involvement with the gang. They were all close till his arrest
Obama is LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!!!!
Is that true that Stevens wanted NON-Military security??
Bookmark.
Then the military's not let in on the operation. Why would that be? Think about it and you'll be light years ahead of the New York Times and Washington Post...
Lots of interesting dots here...
