Clinton: ‘There Was No Monitor, There Was No Real Time’ Video of Benghazi Attacks

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told lawmakers Wednesday that “there was no monitor, there was no real time” of the attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) said Deputy Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security Charlene Lamb “testified she had actually witnessed this, the attack, in real-time on a monitor.”

“At any time did you see the initial attack on a monitor with the president?” Rohrbacher asked.

“Congressman, there was no monitor, there was no real time. We got the surveillance videos some weeks later, that was the first time we saw any video of the attack,” Clinton said in testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. “There was a misunderstanding I think perhaps…she was talking to [diplomatic security] people trying to understand what was going on.”

Lamb was placed on administrative leave late last year, along with two other State Department officials. She told the House Oversight Committee in October that “When the attack began, a diplomatic security agent working in the Tactical Operations Center…alerted the annex U.S. quick reaction security team stationed nearby…from that point on, I could follow what was happening in almost real-time.”

CBS News reported in October that there was an unmanned drone dispatched over the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi that apparently viewed the final hours of the attack. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta subsequently told reporters there was no “real-time information” about what was happening on the ground for the U.S. military to intervene.

Editor’s note: This post incorrectly referred to Rohrbacher as a Democrat. He is a Republican.

the more excuses Americans give them the more lies they will be granted to spew. the time is coming and just because the myans were misunderstood dont think for a minute obama wont come through on his constant threats to us. I want to see the blood and guts eating demon bear his belly to the world for all to see the slain of the monkey god. when the sewer spills out of his rotted corps the god’s will open the heavens and reward the people for the men will stand tall and the women will hold their kids the lion will give silence as it will be the day of man to roar . what is in the belly that swallowed the horns and hooves of a goat? the guts of a pig where hell screams taking pieces of obamas empty soul to the tormented wehre they will injest obamas judgment he will forever go down the mouth into the bellys of the tormented his flesh spread about never to find himself again guarded by dogs that speak blastphomy against God. the tormented celebrate death. woe to man’s enemy’s he cometh now for you !!! the sun god the moon god and the god of winds and sea the earth swallowed the sour words of the demon. beware all legions who served the king of green scales and red horns man’s wrath is upon you as God will watch the flies with no wings devour the flesh as man opens all bellys painting the walls of hell as fear in the darkness watch. the correction of chaos in man and women has been made . man and God live in peace in the natural law of all things

let the panel speak to the survivors even it implicates the CIA mission they were on. This was a cover up even before these Americans were murdered. It feels like a movie when they go behind enemy lines and get caught we dont know you.Leave no one behind unless it stops me from being re-elected then cover it up and i will pardon you. What a joke this administration is. GOD HELP US ALL

Traitor Hillary Clinton is yet again spewing another bloody fairy tale. Just like the one she told after the terrorist attack in Benghazi took place about the obscure “video” in order to OIC shut us up!

Have you asked her point blank was she arming the al Qaeda in Libya? I doubt it. Have you asked her point blank whether she was in the Situation Room when the Benghazi attack took place? You need to ask her some simple yes or no questions, and demand a yes or a no answer.

These Benghazi hearings are just another sham just to make us think you really want to know the truth. You’d have to waterboard this woman to get the truth out of her!

Remember this is the woman who laughed and said “we came, we saw, he died” about thug Gaddafi, as if she were any less of a thug than he was! And this is the woman who the families of the four dead Americans who were murdered in Benghazi said was as cold as ice when she met with them!

Alas! There always seems to be a shortage of video footage whenever corruption is suspected. Pretty convenient I must say.

Enough of this waiting for someone in DC to get DC to do the right thing, and enough waiting for the media to return to journalism. It is time We the People forced action. We don’t get heard when we all email, call, and write our representatives – they simply posture and speak of “my distinguished college on the left/right” etc. Everyone ought to be calling the MSN networks and in absolute emotional anger tell them what a crappy job they are doing and how you won’t ever watch their crappy networks again or purchase from any of their advertisers and cite specific cases of lack of journalism – details – facts – etc. Shame these networks locally at first – your local CBS, NBC etc and expand to National. Let these guys know they will be place financially out of business by their inactions and their actions. Until we win some of these lap dog media sites and turn the tide of the propaganda, we will not actually influence those that claim to represent the “polls” of public concern. We must STEAL media sources back. As we do, their audiences will begin to understand when they hear the truth. Everyone must flood letters to the editor – Twitter, Facebook etc. pointing out each instance of liberal bias in media and lack of journalism curiosity as it happens with specifics on what author, what editor, what “journalist” and shame them into REAL info for financial survival.

So – our “Drone Kill List” president ordered a drone diverted to over the sight, and a second drone to relieve it – and Hillary claims there was no “monitor, no live feed video”. Hmm. Sure that’s plausible we must have ordered some of those no camera capable drones and they only collected water samples or temperature readings to make sure this wasn’t a “earth assault” form anti-green terrorists.

From what I have learned from liberal speak is this. “There was no monitor” = we watched it on a big screen TV. “There was no real-time video”, = there was a 6 second delay.

The sad thing is, nothing will ever come of this. No one will be held responsible, nothing will be done. The only part they will remember is the part about needing more money, which equals, higher taxes.

  You are correct, hillary like other professional LIARS will continue to carefully mislead and deceive others with carefully chosen words.
  
  obama, hillary, leon, and david all have their own work forces dedicated to 24/7 Communication connectivity throughout the world. They can reach out Real time and Near time to operators and other forward deployed personnel on a MOMENTS NOTICE.
  
  I won’t go through the list but Commercial off the shelf technologies are just an example of the common availability of such connectivity devices, although the US government also utilizes complementary and/or compatible crypto capability.
  
  Bottom line: hillary, obama, david, and leon ALL had communications assets that could provide them with Real time / Near time data and information within minutes at most. Anyone who has worked in a modern day Ops Center or Situation Room knows that hillary is misleading the world…

If there no one in an administration watching a real time satellite linked video feed from a drone into a global defense department network, does the drone make a sound?

Apparently not according to Mrs Clinton, who demonstrates that arrogance TRULY knows no bounds.

So Rice didn’t lie, Hillary didn’t lie, Obama didn’t lie and Lamb didn’t lie, she was just confused. She was actually watching the Real Housewives of Washington DC, not the attack on the embassy. Never mind……..

hillary may have chosen NOT to see the feeds or create the opportunity to witness and inform herself of the events in Benghazi as the “leader” of the DoS. Bottom line: she would have done so at her own choosing. The Comm assets are in place. Also, remember that the Benghazi attack went on for over 7 hours.

If obama and hillary and leon and david didn’t respond, it is because they didn’t want to or were ordered NOT to.

Remember the famous Situation Room photo during the Bin Laden Raid – THAT proves to even the most foolish that those feeds can get to the White House. obama, hillary, leon, or david ALL have their own dedicated teams/organizations that directly support 24/7 full spectrum connectivity across the globe.

Only a fool would believe hillary at this point…

I’m guessing Leon has the videos. He’s seen how this administration works. They can’t blame him for anything now.

Might as well fire the entire CIA because according to Hilliary’s testimony,
the CIA is absolutely USELESS.

even if no drone was available overhead, the KH birds or better newer satellites ARE in place, and would have been able to provide intel.

what’s more, if they had, as the administration now (conveniently) claims no real time information, the FIRST thing one would have expected would be to GET that information, by whatever means necessary…

this new rendition of the facts stinks, frankly. another lie in her coffer of ‘at any cost’ so long as the debt is paid by others.
