• White House: ‘Irrelevant Fact’ Where Obama Was During Benghazi

  In reply to momof200.

  And how is that possible? He met with his national security team at the White House at 7:30 p.m. on 9/11 and he held a press conference in the Rose Garden the morning of 9/12. When the attack began he was at Walter Reed Hospital, not getting ready to board AF1.

  When the attack began at 3:40 p.m. Washington time the President was at Walter Reed Hospital visiting wounded soldiers. He returned to the White House and met with Panetta and Dempsey telling them to do everything they could to aid our people in Benghazi. He spoke with Bebe Netanyahu by telephone, a previously scheduled call, between 6:30 and 7:30. At 7:30 he met with his national security team and VP Biden. How long the meeting lasted is unknown, perhaps late into the night. The President was at the White House and engaged in the Benghazi situation.

  Republicans Informed of IRS Investigation Last Year
  Much has been made of the fact that senior Treasury Department officials were told about the investigation into the treatment of tea party groups in June 2012 — months before last year’s the Presidential election. Republicans who requested the investigation were also told about it at approximately the same time.

  In a letter dated July 11, 2012, the man who conducted the investigation — IRS inspector general J. Russell George — wrote to Rep. Darrell Issa, the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, telling him that he was investigating the issue and offering to keep him updated as the investigation progressed.

  “The Oversight Committee knew about the audit because it requested it,” an Issa aide told ABC News. Issa released the letter, along with his own letter dated June 28, 2012 requesting the investigation, last week.

  The attack in Benghazi began at approx 3:40 p.m. Washington time, President Obama was at Walter Reed Hospital visiting wounded soldiers. He returned to the White House for his 5:00 p.m. meeting with Panetta and Dempsey. The President spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for an hour between 6:30 and 7:30. After the phone call the President met with his national security team, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough, VP Biden and Chief of Staff Jack Lew. At the time this meeting was taking place it was known that Sean Smith’s body had been recovered, Ambassador Stevens was missing, the fighting had stopped and everyone at the Consulate had been evacuated to the Annex. I’ll even give you a hostile right wing site to affirm the phone call and meeting with national security staff.

  “Valerie Jarret said this about tomorrow’s election during a press interview in the Obama Chicago headquarters:”

  Absolute bullsh!t Never happened. In reality, the quote attributed to Valerie Jarret was actually what a “source” inside the Obama camp claimed that “a rep” from Jarret’s office supposedly said she said.

  HERE NOW IS THE UPDATE WSI RECEIVED VIA A SOURCE FROM CHICAGO THIS MORNING:

  A rep from Jarrett office was in today. She gave us a finish line pep talk and then afterwards, heard her saying how Jarrett is very excited about a 2nd term agenda and a big part of that agenda is to punish everyone who opposed them during the first term and the campaign. Strange that everything was “Ms. Jarrett wants this, and Ms. Jarrett is looking forward to that”.
  The part that really stuck out to me was when I overheard the rep say that Jarrett told them, “After we win this election, it’s our turn…………………………………………….

  So, in a nutshell, a source said that someone inside told them that a representative of Ms. Jarret supposedly said something that Ms. Jarret is alleged to have said. Right wing reporting at its finest.

  “Who made up the story about the YouTube video?”

  It wasn’t a story, the anti-muslim video “innocence of Muslims” was a factor in the events of 9/11/12 and for many days following. The trailer for “the YouTube video” had been dubbed into Arabic and shown on Egyptian television on 9/8, there it was viewed by hundreds of thousands of Muslims.

  If you recall, Hicks testified that he had called Ambassador Stevens late in the day on 9/11 to make him aware that there was a protest going on at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

  Wissam Buhmeid, the commander of the Tripoli government-sanctioned Libya’s Shield Brigade, effectively a police force for Benghazi, maintained that it was anger over the Mohamed video which made the guards abandon their post: “There were definitely people from the security forces who let the attack happen because they were themselves offended by the film; they would absolutely put their loyalty to the Prophet over the consulate. The deaths are all nothing compared to insulting the Prophet.”

• Robert Gates: I Would Have Made the Same Decisions During Benghazi Attack

  In reply to snufy.

  What in the hell are you talking about?

  No seals “hoofed” it anywhere.

  No officers or admirals were fired, prove otherwise.

  Ty Woods and 5 others from the Annex went to the Consulate in a rescue attempt. There were no “special forces” a mile away that weren’t utilized.

  In reply to Mapache.

  Caspar Weinberger? You must be joking. U.S. Embassy Beirut, Spring 1983. Lax security allows suicide bomber to drive right to the front door. 63 dead including 17 Americans. Fall 1983, Marine barracks Beirut. The barracks compound isn’t allowed to fortify its perimeter for reasons of appearance. The DOD is wary of being viewed as on a war footing. The ROEs don’t allow the guards to have a round chambered and weapons must always be on safety. A suicide bomber easily drives over a barbed wire fence and smiles as he drives past the guards right into the lobby of the barracks. 241 American servicement die. Weinberger was indicted on multiple counts in the Iran-Contra affair but was conveniently pardoned by George H.W. Bush before trial.
