Email Alerts Describe 9/11 Benghazi
Consulate Assault Unfolding

ABC News, by John Parkinson

Original Article

Posted By:Photoonist, 10/24/2012 12:35:53 AM

A series of email alerts sent as Obama administration officials monitored the attack on the U.S consulate in Benghazi last month are the latest to shine light on the chaotic events that culminated in the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. The names of the individual recipients of the emails, first reported by CBS News but independently obtained by ABC News Tuesday evening, are redacted. A source who requested anonymity said it appears they are sent by the State Department Operations Center to distribution lists and email accounts for the top national security officials at the

Comments:
A second story has hit the fan and CBS has it as well. Stand by for Tap Dancing Wednesday hosted by that flat-footed nitwit Jay Carney.

We will hear that standard talking point reply....."this is still under active investigation and we will get to the bottom of these and bring the perpetrators to justice" blah bla blah.And if a legitimate question is asked,you will be accused of "politicizing" this unfortunate event.So nothing to see hear,move along.

Now we see how Zero, Biden and Hillary handle the 3 am emergencies - send them to voice mail and to the WH spin basement. Then have Zero jet off to Nevada to raise money. Despicable.

Zero lied in every venue about this, Biden lied at his debate, Rice lied all over TV, Carney does nothing but lie. It's unfathomable to think that America could be close to re-electing such a soulless wretch as Zero.

The email stating that a terrorist group had claimed responsibility was sent 2 hours after the attack started. So there was no conflicting or evolving story.

0 lied, lied, lied, lied, and then lied.

It's the enablers in the media that allowed team Obama to cook this cover-up,up.The complete lack of security,the ignored requests for help and no response during the attack tells me Obama/Clinton was in on it.They probably instigated the rowdies in Egypt as a smoke screen to cover this up ahead of time.

The lies and spin on this would have crushed any other president. A republican would have had his bags packed 3 weeks ago.


And who's surprised by Obama and co. redacting requested documents.If you look at how easy Obama and Holder got away with fast and furious,it's no wonder they took a chance covering this up.

It amazes me how this criminal is still in the running for re-election.

The Benghazi Consulate BEGGED for more security forces, after there were many various terrorist attacks in the area for a few MONTHS. These requests were IGNORED and the Ambassador was SET UP for death by this administration. Four Americans were massacred horribly. The Media yawned. The prezdint went to Vegas. And they ALL covered up and LIED about the entire situation.

Treason trials, anyone?

It's cool to be POTUS. You can sit in the white house and watch the world's #1 terrorist get killed via a helmet camera on a brave SEAL. Then, you promote yourself with a news conference.

You can also sit in the white house and watch that terrorist's disciples kill your fellow American state department staff via an overhead drone. Then, you go to bed and rest up for a campaign trip to Vegas a few hours away.

What a repugnant,disgusting bunch we have in our white house.

They let four Americans die to protect their political ambition for re-election. You don't want anything "messy" to come out so close to Election Day. What pathetic losers. How do you watch Americans under attack and do nothing? Fighter jets approx one hour away could have come to their aid but you let this attack go on for seven hours? There are no words that describe people who could watch an attack like this and do nothing.

Although Rasmussen shows Ohio in a tie, speculation is 1/3 of people have already voted in Ohio. That's probably bad news for GOP. The democrats kept this story buried until their Ohio ground game voter turnout kicked in. Therefore, it may be too late for us in Ohio. I guess we can hope the news about the email alerts swings a couple of other states to the good guys.

I do not understand. I am just mystified by all of this. I can not fathom what was to be gained by blaming a video for the attack. Why did Obama lie to the American people, repeatedly, when the truth would come out. Why not just tell the truth and call it a terrorist attack. Even I, as partisan as I am, would not "blame" Obama for the attack. Did Obama lie for political reasons, Did Obama do this to specifically rile up the "offened" muslims. There is a reaso0n for the cover-up, and I cant understand the lies.

At BEST, this administration has demonstrated incompetence. At worse.....I cant even think through that and not lose my mind.

If Obama and his ENTIRE administration lied so blatently about this, what else are they lieing about. AND......if they get away with this, imagine what they will do in the future.

#23 I can answer that... BO thought for sure that the media would buy the story they were selling. The MSM has the same mindset as the BO admin and they have covered for him for YEARS. They did NOT vet him back in 2008 and because of that, the MSM is responsible for BO's election. They put a shiny pretty bow around a guy who fit the "look" they have dreamed about having as a Prez. The MSM pumped up, distorted, hid unflattering, and alluded that BO was the "one" the messiah, the savior of the USA. They worshiped BO, why would they EVER report the truth?

But then came the new media. And they have become the Real journalists, investigators, and reporters, Leaving the MSM acting more like celebrity chasers.

Obama was selling and moving arms to America's enemies...Obama is of the IslamoCommunists that gave birth to him and wn him...Obama is owned by his patron Auchi...

FTA: "A source who requested anonymity said it appears they are sent by the State Department Operations Center to distribution lists and email accounts for the top national security officials at the State Department, Pentagon, the FBI, the White House Situation Room and the office of the Director of National Intelligence."

The fact that he know how dire the situation was, yet still jetted off to his high $$$ parties and campaign rallies never fails to utterly horrify and disgust me, though I've suspected it since last month.

I think it's quite clear now why they lied despite getting emails this early telling the true circumstances of the attack. And the reason is much simpler than most have conjured up. They (Obama and Axelrod) simply didn't want to cancel the Nevada trip. They desperately wanted to continue their campaign plans and fundraising, and they knew that if they began to respond to the emails, they would be hunkered down for days dealing with the emerging crisis. THAT is why they didn't acknowledge the emails and came up with the video excuse. They were in a hurry to hit the road.

Dereliction of duty? Callous indifference? Evil? Check. Check. Check.

A Fox reporter broke this story last night and Hannity and Greta covered it. I guess they have embarrassed ABC and CBS into reporting it as well. Wonder, now, if this will also come from NBC.

Greta V-S was beside herself and cannot believe BHO would lie like he did. Chris Wallas early last week stated it was the WH who contacted him to have Susan Rice on his Sun. AM show to carry the "video" lie. L. Sinclair's article on this last week said he sources in the WH said it concerned covering up for arms given to the radical jihadist, trying to retrieve those to get them to the radicals in Syria was what Stevens was involved in. If you go to conservatives 4 palin dot com you can hear Greta and Gov. Palin's discussion on this.

#23: By manufacturing the story about spontaneous attack caused by the video, Obama could shove his refusal to take precautions in territory that Obama made hostile with his little war under the rug, and make it look instead like an unfortunate series of random events. At the same time, he could do his Islamist Cleric act and pander to the Muslim vote.

The attack on the Benghazi Consulate took place over the course of seven hours. Two hours in we knew terrorists claimed responsibility.

F-16's from Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy could have been buzzing the Benghazi Consulate in approximately one hour, assault helicopters in three.

We saw on the Bret Baier special our people's frantic efforts to stay alive. I was amazed they lasted as long as they did. The bottom line is that Ambassador Stevens and the others took fire, inhaled heavy, acrid smoke and left bloody hand prints and ultimately died while Obama, Hillary and Panetta watched and did nothing. LIARS!

Re: "How do you watch Americans under attack and do nothing?"

When you and Hillary and Susan, etc think of yourselves as not Americans but citizens of the world. Obama will tolerate the flag pin on the lapel, saluting the Marines, etc only because he so much more enjoys the trappings of the office; the Air Force 1, etc and not the responsibilities. The weight of holding this office is having to wear the lapel in, etc.

That he isn't at 10% in the polls disgusts even more than his actions.

I saw Sarah Palin on Greta's show last night and she was nearly in tears. What she was most angry about is that our military is fighting and dying to protect the right of a free press - and here the media is lying to us as cover for Obama.

Greta, ever the naive twit, just couldn't believe that all these people had been telling the same lie for weeks on end.

Obama now owes us an explanation for doing nothing when all he had to do is tell Leon Panetta to get our people help immediately. One sentence from the messiah probably would have saved lives.

Either the lines of communication in the Obama/Clinton State Department are amazingly snarled up, or else the message was indeed passed on up the chain of command, and the consensus decision was to ignore it, and to spin it if anyone happened to notice. It looks as if they figured that this would have all the impact on the voting public that reports of yet another roadside bomb in Afghanistan do. Either way, it's massive incompetence on the part of the administration.

Whatever Romney's strategy of Monday's debate, it's clear that NerØbama's strategy was to lie profusely, knowing that he would either be challenged and start a fight a la debate 2, or if not challenged millions would hear his lies undisputed in real-time. Like "errors" in print (error on page 1, correction page A23) or in court ("the jury will disregard"), the corrections have minimal impact if not done promptly.

This makes it imperative that the lies about Benghazi be aggressively disputed on this Sunday's LSM talk shows, regardless of the questions of the LSM host. Talk over and challenge the host, if need be. These emails are the smoking gun: lock and load.

Romney said it was "troubling" that Obama continued with a campaign event in Las Vegas on the day after the attack in Libya, an event the Republican said had "symbolic significance and perhaps even material significance."

Obama and his mob are always bragging that they've got Israels back. Obama says "thats what we do." Obama's Benghazi inaction and his serial lying on same probably causes our Allies to cringe, and our ambassadors probably are sh*tting bricks....wondering if they'll be massacred by terrorists while the President acquiesces and whistles dixie?

Dog and Pony Show

The real story is -

1. Why is the US Government not staffing our consular missions with fully armed Marines?

2. Why did this Administration kick the Marines to the curb and hire a British "security" firm with Batons and "Help!" as their only means of "security"?

3. Did Ambassador Stevens uncover a Fast and Furious going on in Libya and is this why he's dead?

These emails and subsequent He Said She Said are distractions from the real stories

Some remained alive until hour six of the attack.
Imagine President Bush doing nothing for 6 hours
while people were trapped in the WTC
and then watching it collapse.
He would have been run out of office and probably be in an orange jumpsuit.
Obviously , President George Bush has character and a soul and would never , ever watch Americans die.
Benghazi is no longer about who will take the political fall or a cover up.
This is about murder.
And the fact that those cold blooded monsters in the Oval Office watched it happen in real time and did nothing.
Nothing.
Obama, Axelrod and Jarrett an accessories after the fact.
This is a high crime and misdemeanor.
I think Biden is a buffoon , but, I don't think he would stand by like Obama did and
actually watch Americans be murdered.
Obama , Axelrod and Jarrett must..must face criminal charges.
I guarantee that Holder is trying to figure out a way
for Obama to
preemptively pardon himself , Axelrod and Jarrett.

as posted elsewhere:

Ambassador Stevens is Uriah the Hittite from the Bible:

2 Samuel, Chapter 11:15
This is what he wrote in the letter: "Place Uriah up front, where the fighting is fierce. Then pull back and leave him to be struck down dead."

Ambassador Stevens died to cover up the failure of Obama's Libya and Middle East policies; just as Uriah the Hittite died to cover up King David's adultery with Uriah's wife Bathsheba.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama. In 2008, Obama won independents in the state by

Mitt Romney and President Obama each racked up early and expected victories Tuesday night in relatively safe territory, while some of the biggest battlegrounds that will decide the election remained too close to call. All the big swing states where polls have closed -- Florida, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina -- were too close to call, Fox News projects. (Snip) Obama will also win three of Maine's four electoral votes, Fox News projects. It is unclear where the state's fourth electoral vote will fall.

As expected, Republican candidate for President, Mitt Romney, won West Virginia’s five electoral votes in Tuesday’s General Election over President Barack Obama. National media outlets called the race in West Virginia shortly after polls closed at 7:30 p.m. President Obama’s fate in West Virginia has never been in question, as he garnered just 60 percent of the democratic vote in the May primary. The other 40 percent of that vote went to Texas federal inmate Keith Judd, who was placed on the ballot in West Virginia. President Obama has been hugely unpopular in the Mountain State since he first ran

Early exit polls show Election Day voters are slightly more Republican than in 2008 and broadly concerned about the state of the U.S. economy. Six in 10 voters said the economy is their top issue according to the poll, which was released by The Associated Press and conducted on behalf of a consortium of media companies. Less than a quarter of voters said their families were better off than four years ago — a point seized on by many Republicans as the results leaked out.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn´t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
