White House: All questions
answered on Benghazi attack

Washington Times, by Dave Boyer

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/11/2013 9:01:30 PM

The White House has heard enough about Benghazi. White House press secretary Jay Carney on Monday blasted Senate Republicans for threatening to block Defense Secretary-nominee Chuck Hagel and John Brennan, nominated to head the CIA, in a quest for more information about what President Obama did on the night that terrorists killed four Americans in the U.S. Consulate in Libya. “We have answered these questions,” Mr. Carney said. “The president found out about the attack in Benghazi in a meeting with his secretary of defense and chairman of the Joint Chiefs from his national

Comments:
Wow. The dictator and his regime have spoken. Their arrogance is absolutely stunning. I´m sure the families of those killed sure don´t have the same opinion.

Did I miss the part on who called the stand down- 3 times? Mr Panetta was given the ok to do "whatever" but he isnt the CIC..

Where was Obama and the Sec of State when real time was playing of attack?

All questions are not answered...

Policy failure due to anti - American ideology is to be expected. The cover-up is impeachable. There should be the focus

The WH has done a masterful job of cover up and obfuscation. The crucial point is never discussed - September 10, al qaeda chief ayman al-zawahiri vowing to avenge the death of abu yahya al-libi, a high-ranking al qaeda official killed by an American drone attack three months earlier issues direct threats against Americans in Libya. al-zawahiri released a film on the 10th, a 2 hour film eulogizing his friend. This was the trigger for the protests in Egypt, mostly organized by his brother Mohammed, and the attack in Benghazi. Obama would have been briefed on the film either on the 10th or the 11th, before the attack. Obama knew the attack was coming. The al qaeda leader arrested in Egypt, accused of plotting and carrying out the attacks, has direct links to al-zawahiri. We´ve allowed the administration to distract us and follow red herrings. The right questions have never been asked. And soon it will all be forgotten.

Obama had better start coming up with something better than this. Dr Ben Carson, who is retiring from surgery in July, said he would run for political office if he felt God grabbing him by the collar. This won´t wash with someone like Carson and he won´t mind saying so. In no uncertain terms.

The main focus of the 5;PM meeting was the previously scheduled phone call with Netanyahu..not Libya, did Obama discuss any of it with the Israelis? If he had already been notified prior to the call that an attack was under way..Mossad has eyes and ears everywhere... was help sought? offered? declined?

the questions have been answered every way possible. That is except the truth.

Time for a Special Counsel to investigate.

I understand that if the order was given "to do all possible...." a special order document had to be prepared and signed by our peter pan president, in order for and military action to be undertaken.

I think the bottom line to this massive coverup is it exposes Obama´s muslim outreach as a failure. That´s why the video was the first excuse offered in the fiasco. Hillary knew the real reason,that´s why she didn´t go on the Sunday shows. Rice was the only Obama devotee to throw her career under the bus by taking her place.

From the very beginning they all knew the video was a lie and Obama and Hilary made a tape shown in Pakistan blaming the tape way after they knew it was a lie.

This is incompetence ,maleficence and dereliction of duty on both these people,with Panetta thrown is as a co-conspirator.

Why ordered the CIA to dig dirt on Patraeus to get him ousted from the agency? The socialite email has turned out to be another lie reported by the media.

#7 I agree. If this were a Republican President, the press would be all over it. My local paper has nothing in it about Libya. I guess they like keeping their readers in the column of "low info voters". They know that if the truth were known before the election, there is no way this guy would have been reelected.

Sometimes we expect a lie so we don´t pay attention to what is said. Here´s Carney´s response, "He immediately ordered those two leaders to take every action necessary to try to position forces in a way that could assist in Benghazi and also potentially take action, if necessary, elsewhere, because of all that was enfolding around the region.”

The action statement: "take every action necessary to try to position forces in a way that could assist in Benghazi and also potentially take action, if necessary, elsewhere..." There is no request for plans of action in response to an attack on our embassy nor implied release of forces for any action based on what had already taken place. And then Obama is gone.

Please forgive me! I really hate to make a pest of myself. But, I’m still awaiting an answer, a straight answer, not an evasive answer to the question I’ve asked several times before. For the umpteenth time:

Precisely who was it that issued the by-now-almost-legendary order to “Stand Down!”???

Has my question been swept under the rug? Thrown under the bus? C’mon Obama Administration, it’s high time you grow up and ‘fess up!

There should be no confirmation until that question is answered, period.

I believe we have lost the media in this country. It is clearly covering for Obama.

A word to those in Republican leadership, how about buying some TV ads that will keep the questions before the American people. Don´t let the media stop you from getting answers. Think outside the box and use the money you have to expose Obama. Take this directly to the people. Use every avenue available, TV, social media, Twitter, etc. And for goodness sake, stay on it. If done correctly, this could do great harm to Obama.

#4 and #7. It´s not that the WH has done a "masterful job" or that the media provides a cover, the problem is the US Senate that let Hillary off the stick with her "at this point what difference does it make?" remark. As Sec of State she is responsible for the lack of security before the attack occured. She knew, or should have known, of the danger and of the requests for beefed up security. If she didn´t know it points to her failure of putting into place structure and procedures in her dept to ennsure that important messages such as this were received and should reach her desk.

No "Stand Down" order was given or needed because no order to actually do anything was ever given.

The occupant of the White House his underlings Carney, Brennan et al still do not get the severity of 9/11. Four US citizens, one the Libyan Ambassador were fighting for their lives. They fought for over 5 hours to defend the Benghazi Consulate and compound.Obama was not doing his job . First to get his top officials together and work on a plan to send help to these unfortunate consulate defenders.No if´s or but´s. No trips to Las Vegas to insure he would be numero uno.He was on the phone for an hour talking to Israeli Netanyahu .Panetta the wimp publically stating that there was no effective force nearby. What a ´crock´ F16´s were on standby at Sicily 15 to 25 mins away from Benghazi.This bunch recently interrogated (It was a case of how many softballs the Senate and House could throw , even the GOP wimps threw a few). Let´s get our act together put our foot down court martial Obama after all he is the CIC and forget these two inadquate , incompetant Nominees Hagel and Brennan.For goodness sake let´s do something that is obvious and is RIGHT to protect the USA.

Of course they are done with Benghazi, but they have hedged and fumbled to protect what was actually going on. None of these people really know what happened there, but one pereson does and that is John Brennan. It was his little operation and of course the President doesn´t know much about it although he probably told Brennan to do what he needed to do to go forward on Obmam´s foreign policy. Brennan did and Obama knows little about it. Ask John Brennan what he was doing that day and what his role was in the Arab Spring. I still believe that Obama told the military to stand down.

Earlier today, we learned about a bombshell report that said the CIA´s Benghazi talking points were changed 12 times, with extensive input from the State Department. It comes after State Department whistleblower Gregory Hicks testified Wednesday that he was shocked when he saw Susan Rice blaming a protest for the attack on numerous talk shows. Martha MacCallum discussed the next steps in the investigation of what happened in Benghazi with Hicks´ attorney, Victoria Toensing. At this point, she thinks "it´s about time" that House Republicans start issuing subpoenas,

As part of a Mothers’ Day weekend defense of his signature legislative accomplishment, President Obama claimed that the law represented the “largest health care tax cut for working families and small businesses in our history. “ His argument was a hail-mary effort to redesignate subsidies for individuals to purchase health insurance on government-run exchanges as a “tax cut.” But according to the Congressional Budget Office, these subsidies actually qualify as more than $1 trillion in “Exchange Subsidies and Related Spending.” (Emphasis mine.) Far from being a historic tax cut, Obamacare actually qualifies as one of the largest

Inhofe, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in an interview Thursday with “The Rusty Humphries Show” that impeachment would become an issue soon over the “greatest cover-up in American history.” “People may be starting to use the I-word before too long,” Inhofe said. “The I-word meaning impeachment?” Humphries asked. “Yeah,” Inhofe responded. “Of all the great cover-ups in history — the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra,

As a presidential speech writer for the first Bush White House, I am always very interested in what presidents say in their formal speeches. They know, of course, that their remarks will be widely covered by the press, studied by analysts, and influential in contemporary political debates. For that reason, presidents rarely speak off-the-cuff, and their every word is carefully chosen for exactly the message the White House wants to convey to the public. Their graduation speeches, like all presidential addresses, go through many drafts and are reviewed by high-level administration officials

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

The Clinton political machine is in full campaign mode already, preparing for 2016 and hoping voters forget by then that she had a key role in the Obama administration’s handling of the terror attack. But that’s becoming more difficult as the GOP appears to be laying the groundwork for tying Clinton to Benghazi and making sure it stays front and center in the next campaign.Some of the testimony from State Department whistleblowers

"Every year for the past few years, on Mother´s Day, I´ve gone--I´ve taken a delegation--into Afghanistan or Iraq, we´re alternating now, now Afghanistan--for Mother´s Day to say thank you to our moms and, by the way, our grandmothers, who are serving there. Some young grandmothers. But, nonetheless, grandmothers. To also thank all of our troops for what they do to protect America´s families. I won´t be going this particular weekend because we don´t have--you know, under sequestration, we don´t have codels."

John McCain is going to release a bill that would dismantle cable as it´s currently constructed, Brenden Sasso at The Hill reports. The legislation would force cable companies and satellite TV providers to give consumers an option to pick and choose which channels they get. This is called "à la carte programming," and it´s long been a dream of consumers who only want a handful of channels. McCain tried to introduce similar legislation in 2006 and it went nowhere.

The most notable takeaway from Jay Carney’s incomprehensible Friday appearance had little to do with his Klingon grammar. Carney does not represent the historical value of the event – you should be wise to forget his performance, and instead take note that he was flanked by the entire room, without exception. Do not underestimate the significance: the Obama administration has not faced such an onslaught of truth-seeking since he took office in 2008, and further, no Democratic administration has been charged from all sides like this in recent memory. That press conference was unthinkable just days ago

The families of Navy SEALs killed in an August 2011 shoot-down of a helicopter in Afghanistan spoke at a press conference Thursday morning, citing a number of grievances, including an allegation that the Pentagon invited a Muslim cleric who “disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen.” In addition to blasting the Obama administration for the mission and for an official investigation they deemed a cover-up, the families complained that “military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for inappropriately flagging conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status. Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said organizations that included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status were singled out for additional reviews. Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington. Many conservative groups complained during the election

It´s been 11 days and counting since the Jets cut ties with Tim Tebow and 13 months since they traded for him. Much of the conversation in the past week and a half has been about which teams -- if any -- would be interested in the former Heisman Trophy winner. The usual suspects include Tebow´s hometown Jacksonville Jaguars, but new general manager David Caldwell has said in no uncertain terms that Tebow isn´t an option (laudatory commercials from local lawyers notwithstanding). The other, less conventional landing spot: New England. Coach Bill Belichick sees value where other talent evaluators don´t

Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia has written House Speaker John Boehner, requesting the creation of a bipartisan Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi terror debacle. It is an excellent idea. A Select Committee is the only means available now for the U.S. political system to extricate itself from the labyrinth called Benghazi. There have been two fulcrum events in the accounting of what happened in Benghazi. The first was U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice´s September 16 declarations on TV that Benghazi was part of the Islamic world´s violent, spontaneous reaction to the incendiary California YouTube video.
