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.

Obama was asleep...

I don't believe that for a second. From what I've seen, the Presidential log for those hours has been put under lock and key. More activities are being hidden.

Graham has actually been sounding very good lately. I’ve been a little more impressed than my normal opinion of him.

I agree with you. My guess is that these AQ terrorists were using the guns and weapons that Obama had been giving them to attack and kill our ambassador.he does not want that to get out. I still want to see his stand down order.

End the end, Hillary will just say “i don’t recall” or “What difference does it make?”

My guess is everyone there,in Benghazi, knew too much. They had to die and zeros terrorists were the perfect storm to do it in.

It's fairly clear that international banking (IB) was behind the revolution as news outlets reported that the "rebels" had formed a new central bank and new national oil company in march/april 2011, shortly after active European military involvement began. One can only assume that IB leadership is outside of the US government, but IB has tremendously influential positions inside the US government, including notably State and CIA. We know that CIA trained mujahadeen in Afghanistan, so we could then assume relationships between CIA, terrorism and international banking, but relationships that are not equally known by all three. We certainly then could have IB dealing with top terror leadership via arms dealers, finance people, espionage people, etc., yet in such a narrowly defined way that terror groups operate so much on their own that CIA could often be surprised by their actions.

It is known that CIA and State work with outside non-governmental organizations to promote their goals, and it's also well known that most of these NGOs are related to IB. NGOs are part of the publicly declared strategy of the State Dept, to the tune of billions of dollars. Many countries around the world recognize these groups as foreign agents and think they are US-based - even though IB, through their influence with the US government, is largely directing policy via the senior membership of several key IB front organizations. So, while to the world the activity of CIA, State and NGOs appears to be that of the US government, the long-term strategic planning is sourced from "experts" within the IB community. For example, the "fight against aids" in Africa. Meddling in African healthcare and population control has been talked about in IB circles going back to the 70's and earlier - it was never something that US politicians appealed to US voters on in their campaigns. So that whole "scene" is clearly not the will of the American people, but the plans of IB being put into effect by elected politicians under illegitimate IB control.

Obama, Hillary and key advisors (all under the influence of IB) were in a "pause" mode during the attack, seeing how things turned out and not charging in trying to rescue their personnel. The most likely reason for this is ulterior motives other than those associated with their government jobs and oaths of office, i.e., the "big secret".

People on the ground in Benghazi knew about what they were working on, but not the big picture.

Nothing that transpired would contradict the theory that the Ambassador was the target of a kidnap gone wrong that probably no one in the administration knew anything about. Or the attack was simply a planned attack that did not have that specific goal. The only plausible conclusion I can reach is that the very top administration people and Obama have a "wait and see" policy until they can get guidance from their experts (which have strong ties to IB) whenever events unfold. This way they would never have to have advance notice of events and the "big secret" would be next to impossible to get out of anyone. IMHO, if you read a detailed bio of Marc Rich (relationships with intelligence, arms dealers, wall street, european banking, governments, etc., etc., etc.), and then consider that he received a pardon from President Billy Joe Jim Bob Clinton, Cecil Rhodes Scholar, the magnitude of the stinkiness of international finance will really start to stand out.

I goofed the link to my source.

Watergate scandal

You may be right but I was thinking of indictments that had real blowback on Nixon forcing him to resign which wasn't until August 9th '74.

The DBM will never cover something like this ever.

The English press will. The American press will have to follow.

You have to wonder what’s “up” with this? After all this time, all this information, pouring out all at once? What’s the angle? Biden attempting a crude move to either 1) push out Obama, or 2) cripple Hillary for ‘16? There’s a move underfoot. No way I believe that the MSM suddenly grew a conscience.

WHY would a President NOT have rescue as his REAL goal?

For the same reason he goes to Mexico and criticizes US and invites their illegal movement into this country, because HE HATES THE UNITED STATES.

And the MORONS who voted for him because he promised them baubles deserve the scorn of their fellow citizens. Give it to them.

If it's shoved in their faces, the MSM will have to cover this. The press can't afford to lose any more credibility... they're becoming a laughing stock.

They are already a laughingstock with no credibility. They know it. we know it, they know we know it, and they don't care. It's all about sound-biting the ignorant chattering class in a way that promotes their Democrat party. Period. I have been following this for decades. Trust me on this. They don't care.

Just wondering, if Obama throws Clinton under the bus, will other unrelated revelations be forthcoming?

If Bozo is impeached, Biden would be president, and that could embolden him enough to run against Hillary for 2016, with the advantage of the bully pulpit.

Biden is unique in that in his case having the bully pulpit is a disadvantage.

WRONG. Barry Soetoro is NOT stupid, he’s VERY, very successful in accomplishing what he set out to do and what he promised to do: “Fundamentally change the United States of America”

I will be amazed if this leads to anything. The impression I get is most people just don’t care. Very sad, but true. I know many who do care; my family, friends, and here on FR but when I am out and about and the topic comes up most people don’t even seem to know what it is all about. I think it would have to be made into a reality show for many to even know what Benghazi is, much less be interested in what happened.
