Confused by the Myriad Information on the Benghazi Scandal? This Week’s Recap May Help Clarify

Nov. 2, 2012 5:57pm Tiffany Gabbay

Given the myriad updates and revelations surrounding the Benghazi terror attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens, his aid Sean Smith and former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty dead, TheBlaze thought it might make sense to recap the week’s key headlines in one cohesive post. Below is a review of the latest revelations in what has become a full-blown scandal the mainstream media has been reluctant to cover.

First, it should be noted that the most recent update in the Libya debacle comes to us in a report published Friday late afternoon by the Washington Free Beacon. According to the director of operations for the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, classified United States military units have been on the ground and operating in the Benghazi region since the September 11 terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost. The Beacon reports:

The disclosure that secret U.S. military forces were dispatched to Libya recently was revealed in a letter sent Wednesday to the House Armed Services Committee by Vice Adm. Kurt Tidd, director of operations for the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.

Tidd said that after the attack in Benghazi, the U.S. European Command sent a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team (FAST) platoon to reinforce security at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli.

“Additional classified capabilities were deployed to the region,” Tidd said. He was responding to a letter from Rep. Howard P. “Buck” McKeon, head of the House Armed Services Committee, which questioned the administration over the numerous discrepancies regarding their accounts of what happened, and what actually happened.

The following is a review of just a few (repeat: just a few) of the myriad articles published by TheBlaze chronicling the Benghazi scandal this week alone. The dates preceding each of the following headlines represent the dates of publication on TheBlaze:

10/26: CIA operatives were told to “stand down” in Benghazi after three requests for back-up denied:

Explosive new allegations surrounding the Benghazi attack emerged this morning, with FOX News’ Jennifer Griffin reporting that sources have confirmed that three urgent requests for military assistance sent from the CIA annex were all denied; CIA operators were apparently told to “stand down” rather than respond when shots were heard around 9:40 p.m. on September 11. Following the alleged developments, Charles Woods, father of ex-Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods who was killed in the attack, passionately responded to this new information on Glenn Beck’s radio program.

10/26 Senators demand that Obama declassify the video of the attack:

Republican senators are demanding that the Obama administration make public the surveillance video taken during last month’s deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya, which killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. …Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte wrote to President Barack Obama’s defense secretary, CIA director and attorney general demanding that the video be declassified.

10/26: Panetta said military did not intervene in Libya because he did not have any “real-time” information:

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday the U.S. military did not intervene when the U.S. Consulate in Libya was under assault last month because military leaders did not have enough information about what was happening on the ground.

Panetta told reporters at the Pentagon there was no “real-time information” on which to act, even though the military was prepared to do so, CNN reported. U.S. forces had been on heightened alert because of the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, but Panetta said the Benghazi assault was over before military leaders had a good handle on what was going on, according to the Associated Press.

10/29: Sen. John McCain called the administration’s handling of Benghazi either a “massive cover-up” or “massive incompetence”:

While making the rounds on Sunday media programs, Sen. John McCain blasted President Obama over his role in the Libya “debacle,” calling the Commander in Chief’s handling of the brutal terror attack either a “massive cover-up or massive incompetence” — the worst he has ever seen. The former prisoner of war and Vietnam veteran also pointed out a glaring fact: that while some may compare the events in Libya to Watergate, “nobody died in Watergate.”

“This tragedy turned into a debacle and massive cover-up or massive incompetence in Libya is having an impact on the voters because of their view of the commander in chief,” the former Mitt Romney-rival said on CBS “Face the Nation.”

“It is now the worst cover-up or incompetence I have ever observed in my life.”

10/29: Capitol Hill briefings made 48 hours after the Benghazi breach blamed al Qaeda for the attack:

A new report by Fox News’ Catherine Herridge reveals that a mere two days after the deadly siege on our diplomatic outpost in Libya on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, officials from the FBI and National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) each gave briefings on Capitol Hill in which they confirmed that the evidence supported al Qaeda and al Qaeda-affiliates were the ones responsible for the attack.

10/30: A Facebook page by the Special Operations Speaks PAC (SOS) critical of Obama’s handling of Benghazi was censored and removed by Facebook:

Facebook reportedly took down an image, or a meme, posted by the Special Operations Speaks PAC (SOS) that was critical of President Barack Obama’s handling of the terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi. You may have actually seen it before it was taken down — it had earned roughly 24,000 “likes.”

The meme, which can be seen below, shows both Obama and deceased al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden with the following message: “Obama called the SEALs and THEY got bin Laden. When the SEALs called Obama, THEY GOT DENIED.”

10/31: Arrested Benghazi suspect returned to Tunisia where U.S .officials can’t interrogate him:

The Tunisian man arrested over the deadly terror attack in Benghazi that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens, his aid Sean Smith, and two Navy SEALs dead has now been identified through facial recognition software as having been present at the U.S. diplomatic outpost during the siege, senior U.S. intelligence officials told Fox News Tuesday. The only problem is that Ali Ani al Harzi, who was detained at a Turkish airport in the days following the attack for travelling with false documents, has now been transferred to Tunisia, where U.S. interrogators are unable to reach him.

10/31: White House denied that it nixed intervention in Benghazi when help was repeatedly requested:

On Tuesday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s issued some damning remarks in which he claimed that two news outlets might have emails proving the Obama White House was in fact the one that gave the “stand down” orders and chose not intervene when asked for help during the Benghazi siege. Now, the White House is firing back.

“Neither the President nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi during the attack,” National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told The Hill in an email.

10/31 Glenn Beck revealed that two major media outlets have been sitting on information regarding Benghazi and that if they don’t release the information and share the truth with the public, he will expose them:

During his Wednesday evening broadcast, Glenn Beck revealed that he and his network, TheBlaze, are absolutely certain based on “very well-sourced information” that two media outlets — one a network — do indeed have emails proving the Obama White House gave orders to “stand down” during the terror attack in Benghazi.

Beck said it is incumbent upon those media outlets to release the information and provide Americans with the truth, rather than shield the president. If they refrain from doing so, Beck said he will “expose them.”

10/31: A classified cable was reportedly sent from the U.S. outpost in Benghazi to the administration informing that compound was unprepared for a potential attack:

Less than a month before heavily armed terrorists overwhelmed the U.S. Mission in Benghazi and killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, the compound held an “emergency meeting” because al-Qaeda had training camps set up in Benghazi and the consulate could not withstand a “coordinated attack,” Fox News reports, citing a classified cable.

The Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” indicated that the State Department’s senior security officer, or the RSO, did not think the U.S. compound could withstand a sophisticated attack — like the one that occurred on 9/11.

“RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound,” the cable says.

11/1 Senior U.S. officials say State Department never requested additional security in Benghazi:

As the U.S. Mission in Benghazi and a close-by CIA annex were overrun by heavily armed terrorists on Sept. 11, the Americans inside severely outnumbered, the State Department neglected to request any type of military backup, two senior U.S. officials “familiar with the details of military planning” told The Daily Beast.

11/1: U.S/ staff reported that Libyan police were photographing the inside of the American compound in Benghazi the morning before the attack:

Adding to the security concerns that were building up to the bloody attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, an Arabic television station revealed new information on the lax security there, including a major breach took place at the consulate early in the morning of the fateful day.

Alaan TV based in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday reported that in letters it obtained that were found inside the consulate – written by American staffers serving there and addressed to the Libyan Foreign Ministry and Benghazi police chief – security breaches were reported.

11/1: Obama had the hubris to declare “al Qaeda is decimated” during a campaign stop in Wisconsin following the Benghazi terror attack waged by al Qaeda and pro-al Qaeda militants. Conservatives were up in arms:

Even as new information continues to surface revealing that the Obama White House may be embroiled in a cover-up scandal regarding the terror attack in Benghazi that left four Americans dead, the president took to the campaign trail in Wisconsin Thursday morning and actually declared that “al Qaeda has been decimated.” Recall that the carnage in Libya was, according to experts, waged by al Qaeda or pro-al Qaeda affiliates like the militant group Ansar al Sharia, which even claimed credit for the attack.

“The war in Afghanistan is winding down,” the president said. “al Qaeda has been decimated. Osama bin Laden is dead. So we made real progress these last four years, but Wisconsin, we know our work’s not done yet.”

11/1: CBS finally reports on the Benghazi scandal with a report revealing that a counterterrorism task force was not convened during the attack:

The Obama administration neglected to convene its “top interagency counterterrorism resource: the Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG)” during the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, sources tell CBS News.

Citing “top counterterrorism sources,” CBS reports there was internal frustration over the U.S. response to the coordinated attack in Libya on 9/11. The fiery assault that resulted in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans lasted about seven hours.

11/1 Ambassador Stevens called on phone for help during Benghazi siege:

Appearing on Fox News with Greta Van Susteren on Thursday, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) revealed two more interesting pieces of the Benghazi puzzle. First, that U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens rang Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Hicks on Sept. 11 to tell him the consulate was under attack.

“He said that shortly after 9:40 p.m. what happened is his phone rang and he didn’t recognize the number so he didn’t answer it. And then it rang again and again he didn’t answer it because he didn’t recognize the number. But then given the persistence, he did answer it. It was Ambassador Stevens and Ambassador Stevens

11/2: Geraldo rails at co-host over Benghazi report, again:

In short, Geraldo continued to trumpet his argument from last week that the U.S. military could not have done anything to save those attacked in Libya.

After fill-in host Eric Bolling suggested how disgraceful it was that the government did “nothing” to help the eventual victims, Geraldo wasn’t having any of it.

It’s an “obscene lie,” he said emphatically.

“You are a politician looking to make a political point!” he added after Bolling challenged him, later repeating the point: “You are misleading the American people because you want to make a political point.”

11/2: CIA release a new, detailed timeline of the attack in Benghazi:

- 9:40 p.m. The CIA annex receives its first call that the consulate has come under attack.

- Less than 25 minutes later, the security team leaves the annex en route to the consulate.

- Over the next 25 minutes, team members approach the compound and attempt to get heavy weapons. When they cannot secure heavy weapons, they make their way onto the compound itself in the face of enemy fire.

- 11:11 p.m. A Defense Department surveillance drone – an unarmed Predator – that had been requested arrives over the consulate compound.

- 11:30 p.m. All U.S. personnel have departed the consulate except for Stevens, who is missing. The vehicles come under fire as they leave the facility.

- Over the next 90 minutes, the CIA annex comes under sporadic fire from small arms and rocket-propelled grenades. The security team returns fire, dispersing the attackers.

- Around 1 a.m., a team of additional security personnel from Tripoli lands at the Benghazi airport and attempts to find a ride into town. Upon learning that Stevens is missing and that the situation at the CIA annex has calmed, the team focuses on locating Stevens and obtaining information about the security situation at the hospital.

- Before dawn, the team at the airport finally manages to secure transportation and armed escort. Having learned that Stevens is almost certainly dead and that the security situation at the hospital is uncertain, the team heads to the CIA annex to assist with the evacuation.

- 5:15 a.m. The team arrives at the CIA annex, with Libyan support, just before mortar rounds begin to hit the facility. Two security officers are killed when they take direct mortar fire while engaging the attackers. The attack lasts only 11 minutes before dissipating.

- Less than an hour later, a heavily armed Libyan military unit arrives at the CIA annex to help evacuate all U.S. personnel and takes them to the airport.

And of course a review of the moment-by-moment coverage provided to our readers would not be complete without acknowledging the utter lack of Benghazi coverage on all other mainstream media sites except for Fox News and TheBlaze:

Last week, prior to Hurricane Sandy, the father of slain Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods made an emotional and public plea as he questioned why no one — particularly the administration — came to the aid of his son and other Americans at the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi when they repeatedly requested help after coming under siege by pro-al Qaeda militants. Of course, that is just one component of what has become a tangled web of discrepancies, contradictions, and what many believe to be bald-faced lies perpetuated by the Obama administration in an attempt to cover-up what really happened during the terror attack that took four American lives.

To assess just how important this now full-blown scandal is to the mainstream media, TheBlaze reviewed the front pages of the most prominent networks and newspapers last Friday, and lo, the only two outlets to cover the Libya story was Fox News and TheBlaze.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Glenn–and readers—
No matter how this turns out, I think the key to making sure we stop having corruption on this level is to hold the media accountable for reporting it. Clearly the MSM leans way left, but we wh odistrust the MSM must represent half of the country. We must band together and boycott those stations who do not fairly report the news. Just as we are seeing some of the nation’s newspapers beginning to show support for Romney (because they know who their subscribers are), the MSM will have to move towards the middle if they are losing half their viewership. People need to stop watching those stations, and I don’t just mean their news, I mean their sitcoms, everything! We must hold them accountable. As long as they are not fairly reporting the news, our country’s freedom is just an illusion, and corruption will be rampant.

As a former military officer, I find it abysmal that the President, Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of State didn’t muster forces to protect Americans in harms way. If we had responded back in early August and left Lt Col Wood’s team in place or responded after the emergency meeting on August 15, with a well armed team, perhaps our four fallen heroes would still be alive. Perhaps the President and David Axelrod didn’t want another Blackhawk Down event prior to the election.

I hope that the military, our active forces, reservists, national guardsmen, veterans, and their families rise up and vote against an administration that is not concerned about them. Look at the disenfranchised military voters in Florida. Look at the one trillion loss to the military over the next 10 years if this administration is re-elected. Read how George Soros wants to decimate military pay, military health care benefits and retirement pay.

So once again we are supposed to buy into the story that portrays the CIA as a bunch of incompetent bunglers and the poor administration is left out of the loop and not responsible for any of this. Bovine excrement! Somebody is hiding something. That is very obvious. We cannot trust this administration. Vote them out.

Wait, wait wait. A team of “Additional Security Personnel” from Tripoli,
A.) Arrive at the freakin airport? Like tourists?
B.) Need to bum a ride to the consulate?
C.) Need to have an armed escort with them??- What. They’re weapons get lost in baggage claim somewhere? Who’d they send from Tripoli? The baby blue helmets from the U.N.? C’mon! We’re supposed to believe THIS is the rescue team they sent in? No way. That story could’ve only been created by someone who has NO CLUE how our military works. Obama’s cover-up crew isn’t even trying. That is how dumb they think the American people are.

  Romney made the right move. He found out after the 2nd debate after attacking Pres. Obama regarding the Benghazi attack, that it involved sensitive and classified CIA operations, that Doughery (sp?) and Woods worked for the CIA and that furthering the conservative narrative about what they thought was happening could put CIA operations and operatives in danger in Lybia and abroad. Several news outlets were asked by the Administration to keep this info secret due to it’s classified nature and that is why you have not read about what really happened in the MSM. Fox News and The Blaze now have egg on their faces because they jumped to conclusions, reported false narratives, and by hounding the Administration for information put Americans working on sensitive and secret missions in danger. How unAmerican you have all been. Demanding the Administration release sensitive and classified information, condemning our Administration, and releasing false information just to advance your unverified narrative of this story. Fox News and The Blaze have lost all credibility.

  SoSorry-
  “Sensitive information” – like why the —- wasn’t an American consulate protected on 9/11, in a Muslim country that had just had a revolution that deposed it’s leader and didn’t even have a government yet?
  They should have been armed to the teeth, no amount of spin can change that.

  Sosorryforyou You are even more pathetic than Obama is. The gig was up on whatever operations were going on in Benghazi when Woods and partners ignored orders and ran to help. That messed up Obama’s plan. All this nonsense that is supposedly put out by the CIA with their timelines etc. is more Obama spin he is trying to sell the American people. That ignorant jacka** really does think we are this stupid. He is about to find out we are not, and he is about to realize this is not going to go away no matter how many lies he spins. I might also add that this slander of our military, CIA etc. is disgraceful! There is a lot they did not do which they could of however, they have to have permission to have done anything that would have helped and they were not given that permission plain and simple. I have never been angrier over anything in my life and it has now moved to being also insulted.

What took so long to get the escort from the airport? They had not finished at the Annex yet ! The same people who attacked us met us at the airport. Why couldn’t they get help with bigger guns etc. at the SAFE house because they were using them at the Moment a little preoccupied! The same people we were paying to protect our guy’s are the ones who killed them!! We are fighting ourselves here people!

One thing for sure, Obama is not a Geroge Washington.. what has happened to the American’s I use to know.. from sea to sea they were a great people.. If Obama has done anything it is divide us. In some ways its like the civil war.. it is the last days before the return of Jesus Christ.. and the wicked will be separated from those who choose good.. and God.. For some of us, we know how that ends.. Hold on, because we are in the rides of our life if Obama wins.. and it may seem like its all down hill from here.. but remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and we will come out victorious! But it isn’t going to be pretty for awhile! I am still praying that God will step in and help us get the vote for Mitt!

It does not matter what new information comes out about Benghazi, it will have no impact on Obama’s re election chances at this point. Lastweek, Colin Powell endorsed Obama because he believes Obama’s foreign policy is the right approach, that is good enough for Independent voters along with Democrats to trust President Obama regarding foreign policy strategies.

Now let’s discuss this week’s events. It seems to me this week has been the final nail in Romney’s coffin regarding the presidency. Obama displayed great leadership skills in his response to Hurricane Sandy. Even Chris Christie acknowledged that and praises Obama highly. Romney on the other hand once said he wanted to cut the FEMA organization. That comment could very likely haunt him on Tuesday.

Although I am a proud Progressive Democrat, I also keep up with conservative news sources to see what my political rivals are saying. Glenn Beck has mentioned on numerous occasions that he believes in Divine Providence. Divine Providence did indeed occur this week and I believe it favored Obama.

I would like to add that I read the comments on this site throughout the weak and I am dissapointed by the lack of support that people on the blaze showed to our president during a time of crisis. It shows the true colors of the GOP/Conservatives. In a time of crisis you are supposed to support the president, not criticize him. I strongly suggest that people here on the blaze show support for this president if he wins

The economy is the big story and obama has destroyed our economy. Americans don’t trust him. Everything that he has done in office has been a failure and America does not want 4 more years…. we are even afraid of what he will do between now and January 20th!

  Chris Christie praised Obama’s leadership skills this week. He also mentioned that he did not care whether or not Romney shows up to New Jersey. It seems to me Chris Christie has switched his support from Romney to Obama. At this point in the game, that is very unfortunate for Romney.
  
  @MONK
  As I mentioned before, Americans are willing to overlook Obama’s Benghazi errors because he had a strong response to Hurricane Sandy. Also Romney once mentioned he would cut FEMA. That statement could very likely haunt him on Tuesday when people vote.

You oh so sound like the refugees described how they were expected to treat their Dear Leader. The following year I found myself first near the Czech, German border, then shortly later the East German border. Met a number of those escaping the Iron Curtain too. As I first heard in basic training way back then, you fit the category. WETSU. Find a military vet and ask him what that means. Just pronounce it as it looks.

  Americans do trust Obama, this week proved that Obama will be there to support the people if a tragedy occurs

  PROGRESSIVEPETRPGRAD, Gee, wonder why Christie does not care if Romney shows up? Probably because he can’t do anything yet. But, from the looks of it, Romney will come to NJ’s aid before 0bama will. 0bama got his photo op after holding up traffic for so long, damage done.

  what kind of crack are you smokin, pete??! If anything, Obama showed a complete and utter lack of compassion in his handling of the hurricane. He showed up for a good photo op w\gov. Christie, then jetted of to Vegas. The elected elite in NYC did manage to gather up some generators… but they put them all in central park for the media to use during coverage of the freakin marathon!!! Meanwhile, people are homeless, freezing cold, hungry, and scared, while street thugs loot and rob people. Where, oh where, is the almighty FEMA brigade? A bunch of contractors or electricians or someything drove all the way from ALABAMA to help get power back on, and the unions KICKED THEM OUT!!! Meanwhile, Mitt Romney was helping to gather much needed supplies for those people in need (I don’t care what MSNBC says – I’m sure that every single person who received these items was extremely grateful). Yeah, yeah, Obama told people to donate to the Red Cross (so did Mitt Romney), but think about how much money the head person of the Red Cross – I forget their name – makes per year – close to a million bucks! I’d rather donate by purchasing supplies, or physically using my hands to help people, rather than have a portion of my donation go to line some fat-cat bureaucrat’s wallet. Read the facts – and the facts are NOT what’s being broadcast by the mainstream media.

  Pete Stop your lying about Christie,he didn’t say he didn’t care if Romney showed up in Jersey. Switched his support? You obviously aren’t in touch with reality,Baghdad Bob comes to mind and I take it back you aren’t smoking anything you’re using LSD.

  I too believe in the protection of Divine Providence. Guess you haven’t been paying attention to what isn’t being done in the after math of Sandy. Also you aren’t hearing about the heroics of many “just helping their neighbor”.
  
  As to Benghazi no one should be overlook this “issue”. We have 4 Americans dead, more questions and few answers. We deserve better.

  It is true that Romney cannot do anything. However with regards to Christie, there are small rumors spreading that he might consider joining the Democratic party if Obama gets re elected. That would be a big loss for the GOP. I strongly suggest that all Conservative/GOP voters vote for Jon Huntsman in the 2016 GOP primary

  PROGRESSIVEPETE, Okay, all joking aside. Please tell us your actual personal experiences with those you so well support. Tell us you experiences with FEMA. I really want to hear all about them. BTW, when did the federal government first start “helping” at such emergencies? Believe me, I already know. Another thing, when are they going to actually start helping up there, such as on Staten Island? Seems that only Glenn Beck has sent anything there yet. Let’s just sit back and let more die there right?

  RJ I hear ya brother,these simpletons don’t have a clue what they’re advocating,it’s communism and the people who’ve been exposed to it flee it by the millions. Stalin,Mao,Pol Pot and Barry Soetoro all true believers in communism and it’s nothing but a death cult. If the unthinkable happens on the 6th there will be nowhere to go to escape it because once freedom is killed here it’ll be lost forever all over the world and we’ll never get it back. I have to remain positive though,BO must be defeated.

  There are two types of people that trust obama… those that want their welfare and obama phone and those that believe his lies. The rest of America is waking up to the truth that a lot of us have know for 4 years… obama is destructive to America and our way of life. He is destructive to our economy – our enterprise. He is a destructive divider. He has split America up every way that he can to build up power. America is waking up – and just in time. We know that he is a liar – on a scale that would put clinton to shame – and we do not trust him. Divine Providence….landslide for Romney!

  As far as Obama being so”presidential” and competent in handling the Sandy disaster, why then are people starving without help in so many of the areas, like Staten Island? Prying open dumpsters to get food? Guess there weren’t enough poor blacks in that area. Obama got his photo ops and then deserted the suffering. It’s just as pathetic as what he did in relation to BenGazi.

  I agree with you on two things. Thank you, by the way, for your rational presentation of your perspective. One is that BO will likely win the election and that he will serve the desires of much of the populace….in the short term. Some of us can see the great global nightmare that is unfolding before our eyes. For me, that brings hope in the soon return of Jesus Christ. For people whose hope lies anywhere in this world and what it has to offer, monstrous disappointment is just around the corner. The other thing I agree on is that Divine Providence is at play in the current events…Benghazi, Sandy, Syrian tanks in Israel. The value of tragedy is that it causes each of us to reevaluate our lives and our relationship with our Maker. In this case, it may favor BO…in the short term. Not because he is right but because eventually we get what we deserve. Judgment does come and we are ready.

  Well, again, we are not that stupid. Having the ability to get media to come and take your picture while you are doing a brief stroll through a small part of a disaster area is not all that inspiring. The question is, what has he DONE? He has DONE SQUAT. His agencies are performing poorly also. For crying out loud, FEMA is out of water until Monday:) That does not bode well for the Pretendident.

No confusion on this,the Marxist mulatto POS fraud refused to render aid to four Americans because their deaths were politically expedient for the POS fraud. If anyone found out their mission of running guns to our enemies it wouldn’t look good for Barry so those men had to die.The cover up is always what brings down a president and this Marxist POS trash is no different,his propagandists pigs in the msm have done all they can do to help him out but there’s too much out there,too much is known and the election will remove the POS once and for all.

Why should we believe the CIA now?

We need everyone put under oath before they want to give us their storyline that they have ‘developed’ over the past 2 months!

The obama regime was warned about the threat, they watched real time, AND they did NOTHING of impact to assist the Americans in Benghazi. Then they LIED about it over the next month…

Now they are playing the shifting blame game with a slow roll of information from all corners of the obama regime – still no transparency or an honest ‘come to Jesus’ about what occurred, and who knew what and when…

Wait! You have to ad: 11/2. Geraldo ignores facts, past sworn statements, and abandons logic in a pointedly unAmerican defense of his candidate’s inaction and disinformation, proving without doubt that even supposedly educated and thinking Dems are incapable of critical thinking or core honesty.
