CIA spox: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”

Q: Were they denied requests for help during the attack?
A: Blah, blah, blah.
In other news, the Pentagon has announced a new BDU in hopes that in the future POTUS might have their back.












The ass covering is happening.
Next, they'll be suiting up in anti under the bus gear to prevent that from happening.
Well, well, well. . It was Petraeus.
Means he is looking at 2016 and this might sweep up the HildaBeast as well.

Based on personal experience, the military and the CIA look after their own....full stop.
None of the assholes involved with this need look at planning anything for the Democrats in 2016. I expect Paul Ryan to be a two term President as well.
This will taint the entire B. Hussien wing of the Democrats, for a long long time.
That's what happens when you promote a community activist to Commander in Chief and he surrounds himself with like minded thinkers. Incredible.
Now joe bieden's incredible non-sequater "When did your son grow balls bigger than cue balls". makes sense. Blabbing joe knew that Woods defied a direct order and tried to save the life of the ambassador. That order to stand down probably came from the panetta or bo. joe was impressed with the man's courage and wanted his father to know.
By the way I can't stand joe so this is no compliment.
One of the fathers speaks out.
"“The reason I’m speaking out right now is that after the facts came out that the White House [...] watched my son and denied his pleas for help, my son violated his orders to protect the lives of at least 30 people,” he said, adding, “He risked his life to be a hero; I wish the leadership in the White House had the same level of moral courage that my son displayed.”

Two words for whoever made the stand down order. (And I suspect we will know who within the next two or three days - this isn't the watergate era):
Criminal Negligence.
Pretty soon 'under the bus vests' will become standard issue in the military...

In the first reports that came out of Benghazi ... this event played out with CNN and other TV broadcaster broadcasting a number of disjointed clips with comments from various agencies in the US government. The information and commentary in those clips was plainly confused and contradictory.
It was clear at that time that the mob was being incited and the provocateurs using the cover provided by the mob to breach the mission property. This is a common tactic used in Gaza by Hamas and the Israelis know it well. Why, by the way is there no comment (apparent) from Israel on this matter?
After about a hour of flailing around, the media clowns grasped onto the "spontaneous protest" story along with the internet video line of crap.
After that they closed ranks and stuck to that story for the next week. Until people in the know started asking questions and the Obama Whitehouse tried to defend their line of crap.
And now ... here we are ... the Chicago Jesus and the Democrat administration are caught. They WILL pay.
As for the MSMers .... they need to be hammered without mercy for trying to bury the facts.

The picture being painted is becoming more clear.
Stevens has been implicated in the selling of arms to Syrian Rebels. Stevens met with a Turkish diplomat just before the attack. The Russians have accused the US of supplying heavy weapons to the Syrian Rebels (Al Qaeda leaning). The US has denied.
The Turkish diplomat left the compound unharmed.
The CIA post a mile away reported the attack at 9:40 but was denied help and told to do nothing. An hour later Woods called again, told to stand down, but went out with another ex-seal, Doherty for a rescue. Reports are he rescued some from the compound, and took with him the body of Sean Smith, but could not find Stevens.
Upon returning to the CIA HQ around midnight, the CIA came under attack. An AC-130 Spectre gunship is overhead, but not given permission to engage targets lazed by CIA operatives. Woods and Doherty are killed. At around the same time, Stevens is known to be dead. Al Qeada calls off the attack on the consulate.
I have heard of this plot before. It happened 3000 years ago,

Its also the plot of Clear and Present Danger

Best way to cover up a crime - Leave No Witnesses.
Number 4: Ignore this whole thing until the election is over.
Q. How can you tell if Bambam is lying?
A. His lips are moving.
Major sh*t is happening in the middle east on 9/11 and you don't know what is up nor do you attend the next mornings intelligence briefing? He is not even making an honest attempt to be a puppet anymore.
There seems to be some confusion over whether a C 130 or a Drone was overhead. Does anyone have a credible link to show a C 130 was actually overhead ? I keep reading it was only a Drone and C 130 was not given permission to fly. Anyone ?
Given how General Petreus was treated by the democrats with the full page "General Betrayus" advert in the Iraq war, one is surprized that Petreus has thrown The O'Bambi under the bus.
perterj, as far as I know, nothing except the Fox report (very reputable reporter).
I'd also suggest Blackfive's take.
tldr: You don't lay down your firepower to point a laser unless you know there's something that will hone in.
OMMAG There was no mob. This is known and now accepted.
peterj,
my understanding is that one drone was redirected immediately and another sent in to relieve it, apparently. The C130 gunships were only a short hop away, maybe an hour's flight, max. They could have got their in time.
@ peterj:
According to bruce wayne riley when they lased the jihadi mortar targets the "Big Bird" AC-130U gunship had to be in the air to synchronize the target. In short, why would the guys on the ground laser designate the target if they didn't have assets in the air? Special Ops always have the call on an AC-130U gunship should things get nasty.
Somebody had to overide the SOP(Standing Operating Procedure) to save lives and assets on the ground 'in extremis'; that would be the POTUS.

The Barry cover up regarding the Benghazi massacre is going to blow up in his face... This is a massive scandal, and the continued lies from Barry Hussein will end up destroying him. The MSM in the USA are a disgrace! "Not Optimal"... SOB!
As a caller on levin just know forcefully pointed out, it is panetta who is in the firing line - not the CIA. He's the one who said that they didn't want to rush in. But that's what or armed forces do - just as police and firemen do.
I smell set up!!!!!
Here's the Levin audio clip(via TheRightScoop) where he goes nuclear ripping apart the lies of the coverup and what a useless POS Oblameya is as a C in C.
I can only pray Hillary squeals like a pig before the election to cover her own ass.
As Levin says,,, that guy in California is rotting in a jail for what?? A parole violation!
Re the posted interview with Obama about the attacks. Best impression of a deer in the headlights I have ever seen. Presumably Obamessiah can soon add an Oscar on the mantle next to his Nobel Prize, both appropriately captioned with labels of incompetence and extreme narcissism.
This cover-up, ect, bothers only those who are disgusted by a government lying, allowing someone to die, continue lying and now gun-running. For Obama's faithful Kool-Aid drinkers, this means nothing.
This case should not be let buried or distorted.
Good point Hans.
They were illuminating the target; I thought it would be for a helicopter or drone attack. Or, even, their own surface-to-surface misile.
Clearly they were asking a shot, and it never came.
G: I just warched the Levin piece...twice. Thanks for that..very powerful. I hope it gets disseminated widely; personally I think it deserves a separate thread on this blog. (webmasters, give the latter some consideration).
and now,up at Drudge..'military absentee ballots (from Af'stan) lost in plane crash'..how ??convenient??
Obama believes he just has to do the old rope-a-dope until Nov. 6th and apparently the MSM will cooperate by continuing to look the other way.
As long as Obama continues his MTV, Letterman and Leno tour and inteviews with 'hard hitting journalists' like Brian Williams of NBC, he figures he's gold.
Hopefully it's those within the intelligence community with reputations and integrity worth maintaining that will pull back the curtain, making it impossible for Obama to maintain the charade.
But the clock is ticking....
I am maybe repeating, but "Holy Eff, Petreus just threw Obama under his own bus"
The irony is delicious; Obama cannot survive ... I hope. But, unfortunately, his oress lackies will back-stop.
"That's not what this election is about" - Barack Hussein Obama the man who has made this campaign about a dog on a roof, free pills, big bird and binders full of women. Fortunately he doesn't realize that this election is about leadership and he has no leadership qualities AT ALL.
Obama tossed Ambassador Stevens and the 3 others under the bus just like he did the Doc in Pakistan who helped get Bin Laden. Like he said "bumps in the road" he will not loss any sleep over their tragic deaths.
Because this reporter broke the MSM cone of silence his career is now toast.
"Mr President, I've spoken english all my life, and I'm sure you have as well. Your answer bears no relationship to my question, so I'm wondering if your experiencing flashbacks or simply giving me,and by extension, the American public, the finger as is your usual habit?"
Who's idea was it to use protests in Egypt as the scape goat to hide Obama's incompetence, was it the media or the white house who concocted said lies?
What most bothers me about this whole thing is the response to the response given by the Whitehouse. The entire administration was busy blaming a video and that served to detract from the obvious question. "Well Mr President I really don't care about the "cause" right now I want to know about your response". I don't care if it was a video, gun running, or any other real or imagined conspiracy that led to the attack. What matters in the real world is What Was The Administration's Response!
What I see in the Administration's response is completely unacceptable and instead of campaigning Barack Hussein Obama should be tendering his resignation along with almost every member of his cabinet. Oh yeah the real president, Valarie Jarret, should be gone as well.
