Kristen Powers: Why Can't Obama Tell Us The Truth About Benghazi

[BlindBoo]

OP- Here's a truth- The video was probably a factor, nobody knows FOR SURE THE ATTACKERS MOTIVES, AND NO ONE COVERED UP ANYTHING, HATER DUPES, AND IT'S TAKEN this long to get to a surety of that...

The fact that our affirmative action failure for a president rolled out big lies after it happened and stonewalled getting the truth out is only contributing to the fact that most of America now sees him as untrustworthy.

The only thing that is discouraging in all this is that it took America so long.

Regardless of the cause, the administration did not send help. And they won't own up to the fact that they got four people killed.

BS. As soon as the President heard about the attack he ordered his commanders to do everything possible to save American lives. A group of 6 American from the CIA Annex along with 14-20 Libyan militia drove off the attacker and searched the compound. All survivors were evacuated to the CIA Annex. There they waited for an evacuation team sent from Tripoli.

Nobody used the Oct. 12 2000 bombing of the USS Cole for politics. In fact Republican stood behind the President. Nobody used the 9-11-2001 attacks for politics. In fact Democrats stood behind the President when he pledged to capture or kill the MFers responsible. Nobody used the 1998 attacks on our Embassy in Africa for politics. Republicans stood behind the President to punish those responsible.

Fast forward to 9-11-2012. Candidate Romney. Attacks the President before the shots even stopped in Benghazi. Thank God that he lost.

Nice story, Boo...not factual...but a nice story! The people from the CIA Annex disregarded orders NOT to go to the Consulate and went on their own initiative. You would like to THINK that President Obama would have ordered them and everyone else available to the Consulate to aid our people there but that didn't happen.

You attack Romney for simply telling the truth while you willingly look the other way at the constant stream of lies that were told by this White House to cover it's failures in regards to Benghazi.

10:30 p.m.: Stevens and Smith have taken refuge behind a fortified door with heavy metal bars that keeps the attackers from breaking in, but they set fire to the villa with diesel fuel. Within minutes, Stevens and Smith are overwhelmed by smoke.

At about the same time, six U.S. security agents leave the CIA annex for the main building. They and 16 Libyan security guards regain control over the compound and start searching for Stevens and Smith.

Shortly after 11 p.m.: A U.S. surveillance drone arrives over Benghazi. Then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey meet with President Barack Obama.

Benghazi attack timeline - CNN.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon, Panetta and Dempsey met with President Barack Obama, the secretary told lawmakers.

Obama ordered that the Defense Department respond to the attack with "all available DOD assets" and try to protect U.S. personnel, Panetta said.


Panetta, Dempsey defend U.S. response to Benghazi attack - CNN.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the Consulate attack was over and all the survivors had been evacuated to the Annex right about the time the President was being notified of the attack.

So do you think his commanders should have order the military to strike a burned out building, especially when it became clear the ambassador was missing?

It was a dishonorable thing Romney did. He deserved to lose because of it.

 

[Oldstyle]

I'm amused by your "rendition" of the White House's version of events, Boo. You neglected to address that the six men who left the Annex and went to the Consulate did so on their own after not receiving orders from Washington to do so despite repeated requests.

If the President ordered "all available DOD assets" to respond then why were they using the excuse a week later that they couldn't investigate the scene at the Consulate with the FBI because they didn't have security assets to secure it? Why did they order the rapid response team to stand down at the airbase they were at in Italy ready to take off and head to Libya? Why didn't they dispatch some sort of air support to the area that could have helped repel the attack on the Annex hours after the first attack on the Consulate?

All Romney did was point out the truth about Benghazi...that the Obama State Department dropped the ball on security BEFORE the attack...that the Obama White House dropped the ball in it's response once the attack took place...and that both lied to the American people about what took place there when they blamed the attack on a protest over a You Tube video that escalated.

Democrats stood behind the president as long as it was expedient. Federal Republicans are no better.

The fact still remains, that Clinton and Co. got four people killed and then had the nerve to ask why it matters.

This isn't about what the FBI did a week later, this is what the president and his commanders did in response to the attacks.

As I pointed out earlier no national politician has every sided against the President when we were attacked in a foreign land. Until 2012. We'll all so lucky that chump didn't win..........

 

[francoHFW]

Hillary asked why the attackers' MOTIVES mattered, dumbass, when we STILL haven't talked to or captured them....It only mattered how we could avert another such tragedy...all you hater dupes have is total misinformation. Repeated ad nauseum. It's called brainwashing and lying.

And yes, the video probably WAS the trigger, as it was with all the other ME protests.attacks earlier that day...

Nothing you posted disputes what I claim the President did once he was told of the attacks.

The question was not "why it matters?" but "What difference does it make?" It of course being why, or what was the motive behind the attack. In protecting our people from attacks, exactly what difference does their rationale for attacking us make anyway?

"An urgent request from CIA personnel to be allowed to go to the aid of the U.S. Consulate in Libya during the Sept. 11 attack was denied by U.S. officials, despite the fact that the team, which included at least one Navy SEAL, was only one mile away.

The officials twice told CIA officers to “stand down” rather than help the Americans when shots were heard in Benghazi.

Fox News reports that sources on the ground said that former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team at a CIA annex near the consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack.

Stevens and three other Americans died in the attack.

When Woods and others heard the shots fired about 9:40 p.m., Fox reports, they notified their supervisors at the annex and requested permission to head to the consulate to help.

But the supervisors told them to "stand down," sources familiar with the exchange told Fox. Moments later, they were told the same.

Woods and at least two others, however, ignored the orders and moved toward the consulate, which by then was engulfed in flames, Fox reports.

Shots were exchanged and the rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate, including the body of Sean Smith, the Foreign Service Information Management Officer who had been killed in the initial attack.

What's laughable is the claim that President Obama ordered all available DOD assets to respond to the attacks in Benghazi...yet a week later they didn't have enough assets there to secure the scene so that the FBI could begin an investigation.

But you STILL believe the bullshit this Administration put out about it's "response".

There was no "Stand Down" order given from Washington to the CIA that night.

"Westmoreland said the CIA security contractors loaded into two vehicles, with weapons ready, the moment they heard the radio call for help from the diplomatic building. Some wanted to rush to the U.S. compound roughly a mile away, and their agitation grew as they heard increasing panic when the diplomats reported the militants were setting the compound on fire.

The CIA team leader and the CIA chief at the Benghazi annex told committee members that they were trying to gather Libyan allies and intelligence before racing into the fray, worried that they might be sending their security team into an ambush with little or no backup.

At least one of those security contractors, a former U.S. Army Ranger, was told to “wait” at least twice, and he argued with his security team leader, according to his testimony, related by Westmoreland. Westmoreland declined to share the names of the officers who testified because they are still CIA employees."
