JW Forces Obama Admin to Release Pentagon Benghazi Attack Documents

U.S. Africa Command records – heavily blacked out – show military gathered forces to support “anti-terrorist” actions in Benghazi day after attack

Obama was AWOL Stevens Died Obama Lied(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that the Obama administration finally turned over hundreds of pages of documents about the military response to the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission Compound and other facilities in Benghazi. The documents, which are heavily blacked out (redacted), confirm that the U.S. Military, through its U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) drafted orders for a military response to the attack, specifically “to protect vital naval and national assets.” Other documents suggest that the military, hours after the attack, tied the assault to a group supporting “an Islamic state” that wanted to attack U.S. interests in Libya in retaliation for a drone strike on an al-Qaeda leader.

The Pentagon produced a total of 486 pages in response to a federal court order in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit Judicial Watch filed against the U.S. Department of Defense asking for “any and all” records produced by the U.S. Africa Command Operations Center concerning the terrorist attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya.

Odumbo will claim those documents to be “too sensitive” to be released and that will end it. (More of our money wasted.) The history on Benghazi will remain hidden from human eyes for centuries until all the players responsible will also be dead and gone.

Then, “what difference does it make” will be appropriate.

" The documents, which are heavily blacked out (redacted) ..."

I wonder if the judge or any independent party gets to review the rules applied for these redactions. If not then they will certainly be used to hide politically damaging information as well as the sensitive classified data.

I think Obama got a whiff of trouble brewing and DISAPPEARED (left the room, found something else to do..) so he could let others handle it and then blame them.

Hillary's flopola book has a sort-of "explanation" about Benghazi---but it is her political Catch 22 as she defends the Bergdahl swap ON TOP OF her Benghazi fairy tales.

THE HIILLAR WORM SQUIRMS----she's being forced to express diametrically opposing views---approving the Bergdahl swap b/c of her "concerns" about Bergdahl's well-being......at the same time she's forced to answer why she abandoned four Americans to their savage fate in Benghazi.

=============================================================

BACKSTORY---News hound Bob Woodward Definitely Doesn’t Buy Hillary’s Benghazi Denial. Woodward doesn’t believe Hillary's whine that "it's all about politics." The reporter known for making news claims there are still “serious, unanswered questions about this.”

Hillary's book, Hard Choices, stoutly declares that everything there is to know about Benghazi has already been revealed....she is hoping to silence Republicans by charging politics is behind the continuing probe.

Bob Woodward will not be dissuaded. ".....one of the questions I have -- did she keep a diary? Obama confirmed to Woodward that he keeps a diary. Woodward noted. “Ronald Reagan kept a very detailed diary of Iran Contra, and he finally turned it over.”

The veteran Post reporter also knocked Clinton and Obama....... noting Benghazi is not about partisan politics, as they stoutly aver.

“There are facts,” Woodward asserted on Fox News. “There is neutral inquiry. And there is a way to look at this and get that information and see if there is new information.”

Hillary's "cover story" was leaking like a sieve----to cover-up her incompetence. We later discovered the U.S. military was fully capable of responding to the Benghazi Consulate attacks within 3 – 4 hours.

Admiral Lyons – who commanded the Pacific Fleet and has extensive professional, direct knowledge of U.S. military capabilities – explains in detail what capabilities we had in the region and why F-16’s from Italy could have been buzzing the compound and strafing the attackers with machine gun fire within 4 hours or less....... the U.S. military could probably have saved the last two Americans to die in the attacks.....

Even more problematic for the opportunistic Clintons is that Boobamba's serial incompetence is imperiling Hillary's 2016 ambitions. Running in the toxic fallout of a two-term blundering black president is a Sisyphian challenge.

For sure CBS will allot ample airtime so that Hillary emerges pure and virginal for 2016. CBS will suckup and give her 2-3 segments to explain away foreign policy flops....and Benghazi.

The words "Blame Republicans" are already forming on Hilly's virginal lips.

=====================================

Who can forget Obama and Hillary's love fest on CBS' 60 Minutes?

Obomba hustled Hillary on 60 Minutes to gaze in adoration,
after Hill's arrogant dismissal of the Benghazi massacre before
Congress. I thought sure Obama was gonna give 'er a B/J on
broadcast tv....he was THAT grateful.

Maybe so, but it was his plan from the beginning.

It’s really not that complicated.

For the election, Obama needed to show that he could be tough on Islam.

He and Hillary planned to have the Ambassador kidnapped and then Obama would get tough on the terrorists and they would give the Ambassador back. Maybe he would bomb an aspirin or baby milk factory. Obama a hero, election in the bag.

Hillary stripped away all the security to make the kidnapping easy. Problem was that some Navy Seals showed up and started kicking some Muslim butt. Terrorists figured they were set up and the real plan was to wipe them out. They thought that Obama was trying to be the hero by defending the Ambassador.

Things spin out of control, Ambassador dies and is abused Muslim style. Obama and Hillary have to go into lie mode. A video? Really?

It seems to me that the facts of what happened seem to fit well into this scenario.

Where is Hillary? Are the Libyans looking for her to ask her where Qadaffi’s fortune went?
