Sources: Key task force not convened during Benghazi consulate attack
CBS ^

Posted on 11/01/2012 3:36:50 PM PDT by TigerClaws

CBS News has learned that during the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Obama Administration did not convene its top interagency counterterrorism resource: the Counterterrorism Security Group, (CSG).

"The CSG is the one group that's supposed to know what resources every agency has. They know of multiple options and have the ability to coordinate counterterrorism assets across all the agencies," a high-ranking government official told CBS News. "They were not allowed to do their job. They were not called upon."

There is no doubt at all that 0coward did not order a rescue.

yep, very true. Also the reason why the lamestream drive-bys never ran with the story. Knew it would be the end of their hero. After the election, this cannot be bottled up, and the lamestream drive-bys know zer0 is going down.

If the MSM starts to report on Benghazi just as we get closer to the election it will be for one reason and one reason only: The liberal elite (including the MSM) will have realized that Obama is going to lose and they must have an alternative explanation other than Obama’s failed ideology/policies to blame his defeat on. Benghazi allows them to blame his defeat on his incompetence and lying. Yes, a big part of the Benhazi debacle stems directly from his inane ideology, but they will maintatin that a significant part of his election loss resulted from Benghazi lying/incompetence.

WELL worth reading the whole article. With CBS doing this sort of “random act of journalism,”, my guess is that some whistelblowers are getting very impatient. This thing could get noisy yet.

GG,

This is an accurate statement. There were no delays because requests for assistance were refused. Refusal = no rescue. At all.

“Does CBS’s ‘sudden’ finding and story have anything to do with Glenn Beck’s threat from yesterday?”

Does a bear poop in the woods?
Beck laid it out to them. Release the story, or I’m going to expose you as the partisan hacks you are for spiking it.

Hi GeronL,

Thanks for the reply. Wonder when they will be held responsible for those deaths?

Hillary already accepted responsibility, but in DC that’s just useless words

This in iteslf should knock Obama out.

He should be put in jail or worse really but hell if that's going to happen. Obama, gads, I hope he's gone by next week at this time but in fact we'll be cleaning up his outhouse ideologies for years to come. I was p____d beyond belief listening to his spiel to the Ney Jersey/Right Coast,"no one left behind," when

he MADE Libya, BOMBED Libya, KILLED the tyrant we know and set up a lame government and KILLED those good people just as if he had a gun and shot them himself.

He killed 20+ SEAL's, ruined the danged Osama cache of secrets, and didn't shoot him, the SEALs/spec ops teams did. He's been absolutely negligent on Ft Hoodie Hasan( his dagumed beard) and anything seemingly anti-muzzard Muslumic.

This is so much bigger than

Bubbalinton impeachment,

so much bigger than Watergate,

so much bigger than any scandal(s) or reams of scandals

in a four year period with the debt and AA- credit rating to prove this man is not just an enemy of America, he's the te_____st a proven t_______t by his own action and inaction.

Add it up or as he says,"do the arithmetic."

<<<<< Am SOOOO ANGRY!!
