60 Minutes had an absolutely devastating report on the Obama administration’s failure to protect Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans in Benghazi.
I’ll post the video when available (update – available and added), but the heart of the report is that there were clear and unequivocal warnings which were ignored, and the Obama administration lied about these warnings after the attack.
Hillary and Obama blamed a video and stood by the caskets perpetuating that lie.
And remember how almost all of the media obsessed with Mitt Romney’s statement over Benghazi, and colluded to ask Romney gotcha questions while downplaying and obfuscating what really happened.
60 Minutes said its investigation took almost a year.

Contrary to early WH statements, Benghazi was a planned, sophisticated attack by Al Qaeda against the barely protected American compound

Security officer Morgan Jones says hrs before the attack, Amb Stevens told him he was worried about security at the Benghazi compound

A security official says the attack in #Benghazi was no surprise b/c al Qaeda had posted their plots against U.K. and U.S. online

A CIA quick reaction force ignored orders to wait & went into the compound, where they repelled 60 terrorists & saved 5 Americans

“You are going to get attacked in #Benghazi,” a security official says he told Amb Stevens 3 months b/f the assault on the U.S. mission
— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013
Prior to the attack, Amb Stevens approved a cable to DC that said: “The al Qaeda flag has been spotted…flying over govt bldgs”

Wow. State Department refused to allow security guards to carry guns at the US mission in Benghazi. (h/t @60Minutes)

So is our media going to ask @HillaryClinton why she pushed a video story in front of flag draped coffins #60Minutes now says was a lie?

#cbs dropping #Benghazi facts on #60Minutes Quite eye opening
— Philip Gomez (@philgomez) October 27, 2013
Morgan Jones, Brit, trainer of Libyan guard warned the Libyan guards would flee in face of attack, which they did. #Benghazi #60Minutes

Wow. #60Minutes committing a random act of journalism by pointing out #HillaryClinton and @BarackObama's failure in #Benghazi.

Re 60 min: now you know these murderers were crazy angry about that video. Thanks Hillary. Thanks Susan Rice. Thanks Barry.

Watch these videos, and consider the cold hearts that blamed a video for political purposes when they knew it was not true:

I couldn’t believe that CBS committed JOURNALISM.
If that "something" were justice, Traitorhillary and Traitorobama would be tried, convicted, and hanged.
As long as Demonrats and RINOs are in Congress, that something will be nothing.
And cover up
Well, they had to be sure that they got President Obama re-elected first.
After all, that is the first priority. I am uncertain why they feel that they are ok revealing this now.
Maybe they think it is “old news”.
That's the way I feel about it. Although they did make it clear that the State Department was informed of the security concerns leading up to the attack, Hillary's name was never mentioned.
I doubt it too!...because anyone holding this Administration responsible for anything will be called a RACIST!...It really is that simple!...The 1st 1/2 black president must be a hero!
we can shake up these assclowns.The big test will be whether or not Boehner goes with amnesty in the House of starts looking into Benghazi. Its his call.If he goes with amnesty instead we are screwed.
“I couldn’t believe that CBS committed JOURNALISM.’
No they didn’t
Most of what was said has been known since just after the attack.
If they had done this before the last election then it would have been journalism. This is CYA so they make the non-biased claim. The time the news is reported is as important as the facts reported. They got the facts sort of right but missed the timing
Hillary would respond, but she’s busy picking up yet another award/medal/plaque for her service, patriotism, sterling integrity and bravery above-and-beyond yada yada dodging sniper fire, etc. etc. etc.
Yes, of course you are right.
Its sad they only gave this one segment instead of an entire show but at least we got that.
SOP for CBS. They run a watered-down version of the story when no one’s watching, then later if it ever comes up they can say “oh, we covered all that long ago...it’s a dead issue”
Sound and fury, signifying nothing.
And when people tellyou to shut up YOU DON’T! GET LOUDER! WE HAVE TO BEAT THESE SHEEPLE UPSIDE THE HEAD WITH A 2X4!
That’s the only thing that gets through!
NO MORE STUPID!
Good idea !
I have mentioned several times that a relatively good source has told me that after the first of the year, Benghazi will become a major career ending issue for prime people. Supposedly, Congress has significant information that will be released. They are waiting until things quiet down and they want focus going into the 2014 election. Sounds logical but who knows. Interestingly, this was told to me several months ago, BEFORE the Obamacare debacle, which has made me speculate that Obamacare could be a diversion and delay from Benghazi.
I think Hillary is being set up to take over and “correct” Barry’s mistakes. It will of course be the Republicans and Bushes fault.
They released this so it wouldn’t be an issue for Hillary in the future.
And next will the first female prez.
Then the first -- oh, perhaps -- homo prez.
Then the first homo prez "with children."
IOW, the next 20-something years will be designed to keep any voice of dissent squelched thru the typical Democommie ploy of crying "racism" or similar.
