DEVASTATING!… CBS Publishes Benghazi Investigation – Pummels Administration
thegatewaypundit.com ^ | 5-5-2013 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 05/05/2013 5:24:41 PM PDT by servo1969

CBS released information on the Benghazi 9-11 massacre today that could potentially bring down the Obama Administration.

Buried in their report (down in paragraph eight) CBS reported, “Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned… But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.” But, counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help. CBS reported:

Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned.

“We relied on Washington for dispassionate assessment,” one eyewitness told CBS News. “Instead, they [Washington officials] were asking us what help we needed. We answered: ‘Send reinforcements!’ ”

But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.

Embassy personnel say they repeatedly asked the Defense Attache on site in Tripoli for military assistance.

“Isn’t there anything available?” one Embassy official says he asked. “But the answer was ‘no.’”

“What about Aviano?” the official pressed, referencing the NATO air base with US assets in northeastern Italy. “No,” was the answer.

Two of the four Americans killed that night died hours after the first attack began…

…Counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help in the attack. National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CBS News the CSG was not needed.

Bingo! Not unless the senate picks up about 16 -20 conservatives, and it still won’t be easy with the number of republican traitors that we already have (at least 6).

Every person who voted for Obama is culpable for the deaths of those four brave Americans.

Fast and Furious blew over, this will, too.

It would be a sad day if we "blow over" a dead ambassador.

Obama was just in Mexico blaming Americans for dead Mexicans. Who is Obama blaming for our dead ambassador? A video maker?

If it is the MSM that decides what is big and what "blows over," it would be a shame if Watergate was big enough to oust a president, but this is not, given that it's not just the failure in Benghazi and the dead ambassador, but the outright lie and dishonest presidential campaign that followed after it.

I thought Hunt and Liddy and maybe(?) a few of the burglars were indicted in Sept. ‘72, 3 months after the break in, for the first Watergate related/Nixon’s ‘men’ indictments? If I’m wrong it is not the first time and it will not be the last!!! Oh well, It was a long time ago. (I just finished reading Liddy’s first book again last week, that is why the date popped into my ancient brain!)

"I think she is going to regret that performance."

The conservative media now need to use the names, "Traitorobama," "Traitorbiden," and "Traitorclinton" (for either one, actually) whenever referring to these oxygen thieves. And, of course, "Traitorkerry" goes without saying.

There are other more pressing reasons why the media won’t cover this it could get explosive just at the wrong time.Here’s just one link to why.

http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/did-obama-send-a-gay-ambassador-to-libya/

Should obama be involved in killing a gay ambassador,one he knew quite possibly intimately from his Chicago bathhouse days,it could get nasty for the regime. The DBM will never cover something like this ever.

If the showboat republicans want to do any good, they need to put Gowdy in charge of asking ALL of the questions for the House, and Ted Cruz in the same position for the Senate. Instead, all we will see is a bunch of preening and strutting peacocks performing for the cameras, and wasting any opportunity to get anything done or found out. Nothing of substance will come of this or any other hearings.

The house has about half of the staffs coordinating with Gowdy.

As usual, McLame and Graham want to attach their name to this. That’s why they’ve been doing the Sunday shows, talking about how “explosive” its going to be when Linda asks some lame question and makes an ass of himself.

Paging Mitch McConnell :-: Preoccupy Lindsey and John so they miss the hearings. Send a couple of conservatives in their place.

At a drunken feast just before Belshazzar’s death a disembodied fingers appear and write on the wall of the royal palace the words: מנא ,מנא, תקל, ופרסין Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin Daniel’s interpretation of the matter: mina, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; shekel, you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting; half-mina, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.- Daniel 5:25-28 — Is the writing on the wall happening again? From your mouth to God’s ear. ——————————————— How appropriate. You should email that to whitehouse.gov. ,Hillary and the DNC.
