Video From Benghazi Consulate Shows Organized Attack (Hillary, Obama want to see the video?)

Footage from the night of Sept. 11 might be the clearest evidence yet of a military-style assault on the consulate in Benghazi. Eli Lake reports.

Video footage from the United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya, taken the night of the Sept. 11 anniversary attacks, shows an organized group of armed men attacking the compound, according to two U.S. intelligence officials who have seen the footage and are involved in the ongoing investigation. The footage, which was recovered from the site last week by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, offers some of the most tangible evidence yet that a military-style assault took place, according to these officials.

The Obama administration has been studying the videos, taken from closed-circuit cameras throughout the Benghazi consulate’s four-building compound, for clues about who was responsible for the attack and how it played out. The two officials tell The Daily Beast that analysts are hoping to decipher the faces of the attackers and match them up with known jihadists.

The videos could also play into an expanding investigation by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that is looking at whether security steps could have been taken that would have saved the life of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans killed that day. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who is one of the Republicans leading the House investigation, says he hasn’t been given the footage.

For six hours the entire military, intelligence, diplomatic and civil command structure of the United States government watched, in real time, as our consulate in Benghazi was under attack, while our ambassador and his hobbled security died.

That command structure did nothing. Afterward, they lied outright to cover-up their own culpability for political reasons. An intelligence failure, under the circumstances, was impossible.

State Department officials have revealed for the first time that there were no demonstrations or protests outside the Libyan Embassy last month and that the so called anti-Muslim video had nothing to do with the attack and murder of our Ambassador and other Americans. The White House is now saying it was bad intel that led them to blame the movie. We spoke with Fox News military analyst Col. David Hunt about these revelations.

The Congressional hearing on the Libyan attack has revealed that the State Department denied a request by American Special Forces in Libya to continue their use of a DC- 3 airplane for security operations throughout the country. Meanwhile the State Department okay-ed the funding for Chevy Volts with a charging station for the U.S. Embassy in Vienna. We spoke with Fox military analyst Col. David Hunt regarding Libya and the White House’s attempts to sanitize their accounts.

Six hours in Benghazi - live and in color. “How are we not responding, when there’s a live fire fight underway for six hours?” Candlelight vigil outside the U.S. consulate in Benghazi gets out of hand.
We still don’t know why Ambassador Stevens was in Benghazi.

Fox military analyst Col. David Hunt checked in with us again after the revelation that there were multiple listening posts which heard the cries for help from the US Embassy in Libya and none of them did anything. The State Department says they still do not know what really happened in Libya.

So, if Hillary and Obama are just now inclined to view what happened, then who sent them out ignorant of the facts, armed with some concocted mime about a protest to a video?

Who would let them carry on this mime for 8 days, including Obama yapping this fiction to the UN?

Who is the intellegence community? What intellegence community did the misleading?

If the State Dept who viewed the whole thing, as it unfolded, isn’t the intellegence community, who the heck is?

Is Intel, like Charlotte Lamb and her superiors, afraid to report to Hillary?

Or, did Hillary shut them up, so she could push the fiction, and push Rice out to double down on the fiction? Doubtful, since she sent them to the hearing.

Rice is small potatoes. Republicans are protecting Hillary, by pounding on Rice, in their effort to lay this on Obama and not Hillary.

We still don’t know why Ambassador Stevens was going to Benghazi, which naturally opens the door to speculation and worse, to fill in the blanks, so this isn’t going away for Hillary and Obama.

It is weird circumstances that the Ambassador would go so unarmed, no armored car, no security to match the threat of the neighborhood, just to see a dignitary, wave bye and an hour later be under full throttled assault. He was marked, that’s for sure. And his Seal companion texted he may not live through the night. Something was up. Why did they go to Benghazi in the first place? They knew it was unsecured. Everybody was out and in Tripoli.

the videos, taken from closed-circuit cameras throughout the Benghazi consulate’s four-building compound, for clues about who was responsible for the attack and how it played out.

1)...I read on a previous thread on the Issa hearings that the videos at the Benghazi Consulate were hooked up by internet/satellite to the USA.

2...A drone arrived towards the end of the attack and took some more videos...

So here are the questions...

1...who was watching the videos at the USA end

2...Who was told what was going on

3....Who ordered the Drone flight...?

It was mentioned recently that (although still questionable as to what extent the Ambassador may have been set up) the Ambassador was called to Benghazi to meet someone...I believe the Ambassador would have gone there for any reason if summoned. He knew the risks. I was witness to the destruction of the US Embassy in Somalia in 1992-93. They too knew the risks...so many representatives (including the amazing US Armed Forces) of the USA are out there every day risking their lives for freedom or, at a minimum, because the President has asked or told (ordered) them to. Obama made some very serious miscalculations on how they handled this entire incident. Unfortunately, he won’t be held accountable...Presidents are never punished for getting us killed or egregious mistakes that seem to be common sense to a majority of the population in America. To hear he said he was tired of all the discussion on Benghazi...WTF??? Even if they do find him responsible, it will definitely be after the elections are over so if he is reelected...we are stuck with his decision making for another four years and I just know they won’t impeach his ass! I hope his reelection doesn’t come to fruition...but if it does, I plan to become more vocal on his wrongdoings and subpar performance as POTUS. Get Obama out of the White House!!! The blood of four outstanding American patriots is on his hands...may it never wash off!
