...When the CIAs acting director, Michael Morell, testifies Thursday before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, he is expected to say that the agency never requested Europe-based special operations teams, specialized Marine platoons, or armed drones on the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official...
...That differs from what Fox News reported almost three weeks ago, and which has gone virtually unchallenged in the vacuum of official explanations about Benghazi since. Jennifer Griffin reported on October 26th, citing sources that were actually on the ground in Benghazi during the attack, that the CIA contingent repeatedly requested assistance but were told to stand down twice by officials in the CIA chain of command...

It would seem to me that unless the State Department personnel including the Ambassador were assigned to to work temporarily under the command of the CIA there is a protocol. Three words: “Chain”, “Of”, and “Command”. IF Ambassador Stevens was assigned to work temporarily for the CIA for whatever reason, then his Chain of Command would have been directly to the CIA, but IF he was not, and was totally under the State Department, then the CIA would be off the hook for any requests by Mr. Stevens other than having been aware, and doing some communication possibly to gain approval themselves to do something in a timely manner to save those peoples lives.
It is because of this real life “Chain of Command” protocol that I believe this whole screwup belongs to the team of Obama/Hillary with Hillary running point.
As does Fast & Furious, THIS Benghazi screwup STINKS of a typical Hillary forged scenario with half-assed follow through if none at all. Hillary transforms deadly imaginings into political games, but without the extensive details she is either too lazy to forge to completion, or too incompetent to do so, thus leaves for Belize, or wherever leaving others to try to manage without her to consult.
They are scrambling to protect the Party for Hillary’s 2016 run.
His car is on fire, he can't get out.
He calls for help.
No help is sent.
The Emergency dispatcher gets called in to explain:
"Well, sir, he didn't ask for an ambulance, nor a fire truck, nor police, so we didn't send anyone."
Candy Crowley, George Stephanopoulis and Diane Sawyer all note the dispacher is a Democrat and sing out in perfect harmony:
"Why that makes perfect sense."
There will be legion testimony to oppose this, from people who heard the CIA plea in real time.
Morell and Obama think they have capped their leakers and whistle blowers......sorry, they have not.
So 2 SEALS/CIA ran at a small army and faced a certain death? BTW, a caller to WRKO this morning said they were told to stand down and they should have.
"He told Rush that protocol dictates that as soon as the situation room got the email about the Benghazi attack, someone marched up to the president and informed him of the attack. He says its a bald faced lie if they say otherwise.He also says that it was the president who gave the order at his 5pm meeting that day to not respond to the Libya attack in progress."
ValJer?
If he had an order to send something into the battle then he was acting as the POTOS claims top have ordered the Military.
So WHY???
Why then does he AND the Admiral get fired?!!!!!!
They WERE executing what the President ordered them to do, but they are now arrested and demoted.
I saw some reference to these two guys sending 80 Jihadis to meet their 72 porcine virgins. Is there a media reference to that?
But did they request HELP!
Were they supposed to request specific HELP?
I don’t understand. Is this more parsing of words? Of course they would have asked for help, they were under attack for hours.
There’s audio of requests for help, Hannity says.
Now, she might have been relying on the Fox report. Or she may have had other sources of information.
As far as I know, those recordings have never been made public and transcripts have never been released.
Maybe those sources have since been silenced...
Thus, Hillary took full responsibility for Benghazi, and now she is in Australia as she awaits her resignation day.
State Department employees put out the first calls for help.
A bit of waterboarding should be in order, to arrive at the truth....
That CIA may not have requested something does not imply that the consulate didn’t... or the embassy... or the State Department...
And if CIA HQ may not have, this doesn’t mean that CIA boots on the ground did not.....
Watch for the nuances.
But the bigger story is the four week Presidential LIE and the the Hillary LIE.
I want to know this really basic information......Has anyone asked or do they know if Obama was specifically in the “situation room” during this attack and for how long? How long into the attack did he give the order and to whom, to assist these people?
It’s going to take more than “unnamed sources” to take down Obama.
