So. The President is to be given huge praise for finally doing his job and looking"presidential"? It takes 4 years and a hurricane to drag it out of him!

Governor Christie showed what each and every Republican already knows. If you want to govern, you have to work with the Democrats. If you want to destroy the country, all you have to do is oppose everything.

Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and Eric Cantor should learn something. When the country does well, there is plenty of praise to go around for everyone. When you don't work with your opposition, at all, you hurt the country and you hurt yourself. They would do well to learn the lessens of those who decided to go after and impeach President Clinton. Are any of them still in the House ?

Yes, we All know that WE HAVE HAD A " FAILED LEADERSHIP" , for the last 4 years! This Obama character had to be led around by the nose, by Christie, so he would not injure himself! Most people there knows that he is a failure as a leader, and know that by his former scandals and fraud involvement, that any promises made to them , ARE JUST MORE OF HIS LIES! We have to have a leader who does not just promise things, and do nothing., but someone to DO, WHAT HE SAYS THAT HE IS GOING TO DO. How soon do you forget the 4+ Americans that were killed in Benghazi, because Obama failed to order support for them! HE IS A DISGRACE TO ALL AMERICANS!

Where was he after he found our about Benghazi, oh now I remember, on The View. Too bad he didn't think people would find out about the cover up. This is just another photo op., so obvious, 24 hours and back to the campaign trail, a barely respectable amount of time to show he sometimes can do his job. Really? The Emperor still has no clothes,

Dandy Keep on blathering if it makes you feel better...You and your Obama hating pals will need to console each other on NoV 7 cos Obama is going to win BIG!! I guarantee.... And this country will move forward in spite of F@#&Heads like you and the your ilk...Get ready for some pain repubs

Washington post? Have any REAL news papers commented? It's true that all he has done was pose in the situation room, trying to look as serious as he should have been for the Bengazi attacks. Nice photo op, no actual effect on the situation.

Benghazi Massacre: Fox/Huffington CIA Tale Nonsense

108

AC 130 Gunships, Typically in Aviano, 1700 miles away if at all, providing radio hadn’t been jammed

Imaginary Planes, Imaginary CIA Armies, All Invented as Election Ploy

–

By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor (with Top US Intel Specialists)

—

A trained team of up to 120 special forces personnel with radio jammers and heavy weapons killed the US ambassador. There were only two America CIA employees in Libya. The news stories are all fabrications.

The killing of Ambassador Stephens in Benghazi has become a ghoulish election ploy played by Fox News, Huffington Post and others. All are printing and broadcasting conjecture, total falsehood and the usual biased and unreliable garbage they are famous for.

RF Jammer Trucks, Gaddafi Had Dozens in Libya

Neither publication/network has qualified intelligence and/or military advisors. To be former military and work for Fox is considered prostitution.

The ambush at Benghazi required careful coordination. There was no Al Qaeda involvement and there has never been any history of Al Qaeda on the ground in Libya. Moreover, intelligence insiders use the term “Al Qaeda” when looking for money from “congressional critters” too stupid to know that the CIA has always run “Al Qaeda” as a way of avoiding explaining why dozens of small organizations and even friendly intelligence groups will, for obscure reasons, attack American targets.

Fox reported that a large convoy of Libyan milita relieved the compound at 3AM but that there had been no aid until 4 AM:

They were killed by a mortar shell at 4 a.m. Libyan time, nearly seven hours after the attack on the consulate began — a window that represented more than enough time for the U.S. military to send back-up from nearby bases in Europe, according to sources familiar with Special Operations. Four mortars were fired at the annex. The first one struck outside the annex. Three more hit the annex.

A motorcade of dozens of Libyan vehicles, some mounted with 50 caliber machine guns, belonging to the February 17th Brigades, a Libyan militia which is friendly to the U.S., finally showed up at the CIA annex at approximately 3 a.m.

Generously one can call this kind of reporting inconsitencies. Either they are there or they aren’t, either it is 3am or 4am but not both.

Nothing is simple enough for congress and the American people, this is the belief. When in doubt…lie.

The attack in Benghazi was coordinated with the broadcast of the Terry Jones/CATO Institute/Tea Party telethon worldwide. Rioting broke out in Tripoli but not Benghazi.

Ambassador Stephens had a 6 man detail, former SEALS, all private contractors from L3 Communications, a British company contracted to supply diplomatic security.

The team used was one of the best in the world, equal to any normal task, and by normal, we mean “high risk.” This is standard State Department policy and those used were not only top quality operators but went through months of specialized training at Blackwater’s facilities here in the US.

The second problem was tied to the Ambassador being, not in the Capitol, Tripoli, but in Benghazi to open a museum. I am deeply suspicious of this and as the CATO Institute and State Department are “co-mingled,” it would have been easy for information on the movements of the ambassador and his team to have been telegraphed to the enemy forces who had been positioned in Benghazi.

The forces themselves were spotted at the Tripoli airport several days in advance. Some may have entered from Egypt and some from Tunisia but 50 had come in from the UAE and were identified as Special Forces, UAE Special Forces, who had completed an extensive training program by retired US Special Forces and through the specialized American school for “irregular warfare,” located 45 miles outside Budapest, Hungary.

The attack itself involved pre-positioning two levels of blockade, one tying up any possible relief in Benghazi a kilometer away and another setting up a perimeter about 200 yards around the compound. Streets were blocked and heavy weapons, RPGs, truck mounted anti-aircraft guns and large mortars were used.

Mortar fire was so accurate that the compound had to have been pretargeted in advance. The first round hit the roof of the main building in the compound of 7 homes, all with minimal security.

The primary reason for no additional forces to have been available was the controversy during the civil war. Anti-war activists and “anti-imperialists in the pay of the Gaddafi family along with David Welch of Bechtel Corporation and Israeli mercenaries and advisors, along with troops from across Africa, specialists from Serbia and Belarus and other nations, created something more than a “fog of war” but rather a “fog of truth.”

Paid “shills” working for Gaddafi continually warned of Americans coming into the country armed as an occupation force. Thus, when the war ended, no armed Americans were brought in, only one small team and two CIA agents.

There were 3 additional armed local militia members providing security for the CIA who could have reached Stephens except for the blocked communications, the blocked roads and being outnumbered 30 to one.

The US does maintain 2 C130 gunships in the region. These are slow moving transport aircraft stationed at times in Northern Sardinia but more often further away at Aviano in Italy, North of Venice.

These are Air Force planes, not Navy.

The gunships are extremely effective weapons and would have been of help had they been available, had they been called though all radio and telephone traffic was jammed as with the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty and had the personnel in need of support been stationary and secure with strobe markers to secure them from the 20mm, 40mm and 105mm weapons on the AC130.

Instead, we have been informed, a two pronged and highly coordinated attack drove the US group to a safe house, into vehicles and corralled them in a pre-positioned ambush where their vehicle was attacked by a “quad 50″ anti-aircraft gun mounted on the back of a truck.

Such a weapon could destroy a Bradley Armoured Personnel Carrier or shoot down an Apache attack helicopter.

What is clear is that help was not available, that America moved into Libya with a minimal presence so as to seem unaggressive, to please critics of President Obama’s foreign policy among Republicans in Congress.

Blame them.

iT LOOKS LIKE WE all AGREE THAT oBAMA IS A FAILED PRESIDENT , and we can NOT take 4 more years of his nonsense! He needs to "PUT HIS BIG BOY PANTS ON, admit that he is a worthless failure, and step down, before he gets impeached, for all of his lies, and scandals! * I agree with 90% of the here that agree that OBAMA, HAS TO GO! *******GOOD-BY OSAMA OBAMA, YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED!**( DON'T forget your litter!)****

Five more days. Four more years!

Where is NBC report on Obama's lack of leadership in Benghazi, Libya when he refused support of 4 Dead Americans? See what NBC refuses to inform you!

WHY? NBC does not care about American lives being killed by terrorist on 9/11/12 by terrorist and the fact that Obama left them to die by their own refusing to report the news for left wing political agendas. Obama would not and did not give the security that the Ambassador and his staff requested weeks prior to the attack and then told the CIA to stand down and not go in and rescue them during the 6 hour battle which left the Ambassador and 3 other Americans dead.

This is Real News and a Cover-up which NBC has decided to not report and held with the Obama Administration cover-up with no regards for the Murdered Americans nor their grieving families. This is Criminal and absurd that others, including the media would Aid & Abet this crime.

NBC is Not a professional journalism reporting news media, only feeding the masses what they make up as news, rejecting their duties as journalist in favor of left wing political agendas, favoring Obama in this case!

Very sad day for America, reprehensible and an absolute disgrace to our Nation. May you all seek the Truth and Demand NBC to Report the Truth!

Obama missed the 3AM call as did Hillary Clinton....other words he and she both missed the moment when terrorist came knocking at our door and the result was 4 Americans killed and all we get is a cover-up by him and his administration with the help of NBC by not reporting on another 9/11 terrorist attack 9/11/12 during Obama watch and he refused to take leadership and send in military help to prevent the killing of 4 Americans including an Ambassador of Libya. This is why the spin is on the hurricane Sandy disaster for Political Reasons and for non other. What other disasters in the past f years did he give any attention to, only to cover-up Again Libya's deadly terrorist attack and his refusal and/or denial of security protection prior and during the attack! Some real Leadership, just don't expect him to watch your back, he is too busy campaigning the last 4 years and does not know how to lead, only leading from behind again!

Wake up America! Take off those worn-out liberal blinders and regain your sight before it is too late! We cannot afford another 4 years of failures and including national security......Read the story of the terrorist attack of 9/11/12 in Libya for your self, because NBC will not let you see it and has joined in the cover-up for their left wing agenda.....

WANT TO BLAME OBAMA FOR WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE EAST? Not to discount the American loss of those four men killed ... May God bless them and their families ....

THIS IS WHAT BUSH DID or DIDN'T DO ON AMERICAN SOIL ....

What Bush Knew Before Sept.11

"We were trying to figure out what they (al Qaeda) would do. We never had specifics about time, place, MO (method of operation)."
U.S. intelligence official, commenting anonymously.

President Bush was told in the months before the Sept. 11 attacks that Osama bin Laden's terrorist network might hijack U.S. passenger planes - information which prompted the administration to issue an alert to federal agencies - but not the American public.

CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin says the warning was in a document called the President's Daily Brief, which is considered to be the single most important document that the U.S. intelligence community turns out. The document did not, however, mention the possibility of planes being flown
into buildings.

An agent in the FBI's Arizona office did, however, speculate about that, writing in his case notes about Zacarias Moussaoui that Moussaoui seemed like the type of person who was capable of flying an aircraft into the World Trade Center.

It was the observation of an agent taking notes as he thought about his case - an observation whose significance simply did not register at the time.

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer says that while President Bush was told last summer that bin Laden's al Qaeda network might hijack planes, he did not receive information suggesting that airplanes might be used as suicide bombs, as they were on Sept. 11.

Fleischer emphasizes that "until the attack took place, I think it's fair to say that no one envisioned that as a possibility."

The revelation about the president's security briefing comes as House and Senate Intelligence Committee investigators prepare for public hearings beginning next month on whether an intelligence community which spends $30 billion a year should have been able to provide a more specific warning in advance of Sept. 11.

The New York Times reports that an FBI agent in Arizona warned his superiors last summer that bin Laden might be sending students to U.S. flight schools.

Investigators have since Sept. 11 suspected bin Laden's al Qaeda network of masterminding the terror attacks on America, which killed more than 3,000 people.

Republicans don't want to see the bigger picture .... the middle east has been at war since forever ... the attacks on the embassy happened in the middle east .... Bush was for-warned too ... and did nothing and they attacked us AMERICAN SOIL .... HUGE DIFFERENCE .....

MIDDLE EAST - 4 KILLED

AMERICAN SOIL - 3000 KILLED .... NOT TO MENTION THE 3400+ WHO DIED AND 10,000'S INJURED IN AN UNJUSTIFIED WAR ..... YES REPUBLICANS EXPLAIN THAT ONE ..... DO THE MATH !

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA .... AND AMERICA VOTE FOR OBAMA 2012

Why don't they poll those people standing in line for Gas. Food, Water in NYC and Jersey and see what his approval rating is?

.... AND YET MORE LIES FROM FOX NEWS .... REPUBLICAN PARTY USING LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES ..... JUST PATHETIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... and voters don't see it ... or refuse to see it???

U.S. says CIA responded within 25 minutes to Benghazi attack

Intelligence officials dispute a report by Fox News that officers in Libya were ordered to 'stand down' after the diplomatic compound came under attack.

By Ken Dilanian, Los Angeles Times November 2, 2012

WASHINGTON — CIA security officers in a Benghazi post responded within 25 minutes to a call for help from a nearby State Department compound after it came under attack Sept. 11, officials said Thursday, seeking to refute a Fox News report asserting that CIA managers ordered them to stay put.

In releasing a detailed timeline of CIA actions that night, senior intelligence officials have put aside long-standing concerns about revealing the extent of the agency's presence in Benghazi in order to push back against what officials say are baseless allegations that aid was withheld.

"At every level in the chain of command, from the senior officers in Libya to the most senior officials in Washington, everyone was fully engaged in trying to provide whatever help they could," a senior intelligence official said in a statement. "There were no orders to anybody to stand down in providing support."

Fox News asserted in a story last week that CIA managers had ordered agency security officers to "stand down" and remain in their own facility, known as the Annex, when the attack on the diplomatic compound began about 9:40 p.m. and that there was an hour delay before officers disobeyed orders and went to help repel the attack that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and State Department officer Sean Smith.

Among those who rushed to help was Tyrone Woods, a former Navy SEAL who was part of the CIA security team and who later died in the attacks.

The Fox story also asserted that the CIA "chain of command" refused to pass along requests from its officers for military aid and that special operations forces in nearby Sicily could have been sent to help but were not. Intelligence and Pentagon officials strenuously denied that Thursday.

They insisted there was no viable military option to disrupt what amounted to a series of sporadic attacks in a crowded city full of people sympathetic to the U.S. There were no armed drones in the region and airstrikes were not called for, officials said.

"Let's say we were able to get an aircraft there. Do you go in and start strafing a populated area without knowing where friend or foe is?" a senior Defense official asked. "If you did that, you could kill the very people you are trying to help."

A special operations team was sent to Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily, but the team arrived after the attack ended, said the senior Defense official, who would not be quoted by name discussing potentially classified
information.

Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta learned of the attack shortly after it began, about 4:30 p.m Eastern
time, Defense officials said, and discussed it in a previously scheduled meeting with the president. Obama ordered him to pursue whatever options were feasible, a Defense official said.

Panetta "ordered all appropriate forces to respond to the unfolding events in Benghazi, but the attack was over before those forces could be employed,"Pentagon spokesman George Little said.

Shortly after 11 p.m. a surveillance drone had arrived from elsewhere in Libya — about an hour after it was requested, officials said. But the video feed was not seen by the president, contrary to some news reports. And the feed did not offer analysts a clear understanding of what was happening on the ground, officials said.

After the CIA team arrived at the compound, "over the next 25 minutes, team members approach the compound, attempt to secure heavy weapons [from Libyans], and make their way onto the compound itself in the face of enemy fire," the senior U.S. intelligence official said.

The senior intelligence official disclosed that the CIA also sent a second six-member team from Tripoli on a chartered plane to help repel the attack. The team included Glen Doherty, another former SEAL, who was later killed when attackers fired mortar rounds at the CIA Annex.

The team arrived around midnight but got bogged down at the airport. Ultimately, it learned that "the ambassador was almost certainly dead" and headed to the agency facility "to assist with the evacuation," the official said.

It arrived with Libyan support at the Annex at 5:15 a.m., just before mortar rounds began to strike. Woods and Doherty were killed as they fired on militants from the roof. The mortar attack lasted 11 minutes, the official said.

The drone overhead was not armed. Even if it had been, there were no viable targets, officials said.

"The officers on the ground in Benghazi responded to the situation on the night of 11 and 12 September as quickly and as effectively as possible," the intelligence official said. "The security officers in particular were genuine heroes. They quickly tried to rally additional local support and heavier weapons, and when that could not be accomplished within minutes, they still moved in and put their own lives on the line to save their comrades."

The President has always lead on all issues with intelligence, clarity, and a strong purpose of moving forward. The President was marked for "Political and Economic Destruction" by the GOP/Tea Beggers. On Janruary 20, 2009 at the Caucus Steak House Restaurant in Washington D.C. The GOP/Tea Beggers met at the Midnight Hour where they plotted/conspired to bring the US Economy to it's knees at all costs. They "Conspired" to destroy an American President at all economic and poltical costs. Their goal is too make President Obama a one term President no matter how much suffering that they cause America. That night the GOP/Tea Beggers "Conspired" to make-up anything to destroy this President. No matter how big of a lie it is. Look it up America! Then get out and vote!
