Obama in the NMCC and the top honchos from State, DoD, NSA, CIA watched in real time from at least two separate platforms, while Obama ordered rescue units to stand down, even as Americans, including Obama's own ambassador were under direct attack by known hostiles. Who could possibly say with a straight face that the heads of the various alphabet agencies would take on this responsibility, endangering an ambassador and numerous other individuals on their watch? No, even Hillary was smart enough to see that one coming, and most likely has some very damning info stored away safely.
Amb. Stevens' Former Deputy: Special Forces Were Told 'You Can't Go' to Benghazi During Attack
May. 6, 2013 1:59pm Erica Ritz
Ambassador Christopher Stevens' former deputy Gregory Hicks is contradicting the Obama administration's narrative as to why no help arrived in Benghazi in time to prevent the deaths of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans, according to a CBS News report

By Susan Crabtree, The Washington Times, Monday, May 6, 2013
The White House on Monday attempted to deflect new criticism on the administration's handling of the Benghazi attacks from a firsthand witness and an additional whistle-blower, arguing that an internal State Department review charged with investigating the September attacks was led by an "unimpeachable" team.
When confronted with reports of new complaints by whistle-blowers preparing to testify Wednesday before a House committee looking into the Benghazi attacks, Mr. Carney repeatedly touted the credentials of the two men charged with conducting the State Department's Accountability Review Board and called their investigation "unsparing" and "highly critical."

Is Benghazi Obama's Watergate?
May 10, 2013, By Lauri B. Regan
While political pundits and media analysts who live in an alternative universe (also known as the left-wing) scream conspiracy theory from the rooftops, we are witnessing an historic event playing out in the form of the Benghazi hearings. Reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's infamous accusations of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" when the House impeached her husband, everyone from Al Sharpton to Debbie Wasserman Schultz is demonizing the House Oversight Committee for staging a "witch hunt" in order to understand what happened the night that four American citizens were murdered by al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists in Libya. But despite Obama and Clinton's combined political savvy (coupled with a complicit and disinterested mainstream media), a Shakespearean tragedy that will make Watergate look like child's play may very well be unfolding.

Thursday, 09 May 2013 06:23 PM, By Greg Richter and Kathleen Walter
The continuation of a false narrative for weeks after the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya that left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead is "not understandable and is not forgivable," former director of the National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency Gen.l Michael Hayden told Newsmax TV.

King Obama cannot be bothered by such trivial things, and the second part of the story not being reported... Obama said he knew nothing about the attack as it progressed, he went to bed was the story line. This story says differently; "kept up to date on this as it was happening", so Obama was aware of the attack as it progressed and yet he did nothing. As Commander and Chief he abandoned those Americans, including his own Ambassador to a certain death... that is treason and murder. I'll go with the initial reports that Obama was watching the attack unfold in real time and personally pulled the plug on a rescue to cover up the gun running to Libyan and Syrian Islamist (Al Qaeda) Rebels. Try to deny it as you will, but NO subordinate would make such a major decision... denying support to an "embassy" that is under a major attack? NO frigging way.
White House: 'Irrelevant Fact' Where Obama Was During Benghazi
May. 19, 2013 11:21am Madeleine Morgenstern
Senior White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday it's an "irrelevant fact" where exactly President Barack Obama was while the Benghazi attack was unfolding.
Pfeiffer told "Fox News Sunday" that Obama was "kept up to date on this as it was happening" last September, "from the moment it started until the very end."

"...On the whole Benghazi thing, you look at those talking points, and the initial draft by the CIA very explicitly said we know that activists who have ties to al-Qaeda were involved in the attack. And then you see what comes out a couple of days later and there is no reference to this. This is a business where you have to tell the truth, and that did not happen here."

PJMedia is reporting of an interview with these diplomats: The former diplomats inform PJM the new revelations concentrate in two areas — what Ambassador Chris Stevens was actually doing in Benghazi and the pressure put on General Carter Ham, then in command of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and therefore responsible for Libya, not to act to protect jeopardized U.S. personnel. Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft. Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.” This left Stevens in the position of having to clean up the scandalous enterprise when it became clear that the “insurgents” actually were al-Qaeda – indeed, in the view of one of the diplomats, the same group that attacked the consulate and ended up killing Stevens.

avordvet Perhaps you need to rename this thread. I think for the sake of correctness and linearity it should be named for the original operation. Guns for Drugs! www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/archive/gunsdrugscia.htmlThat was the original operation and it is still on going since we the people found no problem with it when Col Ollie North(USMC) and Admiral Poindexter were running it under Nixon and Reagan. Since then we have had Fast and Furious, and then Benghazi, and now Syria and Mali. So long as we the people approve of these violations to our Constitution how can we complain about others.

Benghazi was specifically a gun running operation, the so called "embassy" a CIA black ops center, the Ambassador on a covert Operation to recover weapons.
Iran-Contra was a whole different type of op and I know a quite a bit about that one. Illegal... Yep. Unconstitutional... Yep. Cover Up... Yep.
But still VERY different from Benghazi, this scandal rips the republics roots out, A sitting president Watched in real time HIS embassy under attack. With HIS Ambassador in peril and under direct threat of death, the president orders a stand down for nothing else but political reasons.
TREASON of the highest order.

Congressman: Benghazi Survivors Forced to Sign Non-Disclosure Agreements

Congressman Frank Wolf, a Republican from Virginia, said today on the House floor that survivors of the Benghazi terror attack have been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements:
www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/congressman-benghazi-survivors-forced-sign-non-disclosure-agreements_739975.html What has become of the Benghazi investigation?
By GINGER GIBSON | 7/17/13 11:24 PM EDT
After months of fiery hearings and vows to get to the bottom of Benghazi, House Republicans are now barely making a peep when it comes to an issue they once couldn't stop talking about.
Democrats say Republicans are lacking damaging evidence against the Obama administration in the aftermath of the attacks on U.S. diplomatic outposts in Libya. They argue the House GOP is in retreat over the investigation that some conservatives believed could bring down the White House or tar a 2016 presidential candidate.
And some conservatives are concerned that their leadership isn't pursuing Benghazi with enough zest.

If they can't get as far as telling the people that the Compound in Bengazi was not a Consulate, or an Embassy, but just a weapons distribution center how can they tell the rest of the truth. Stephens was an ambassador not a President. If he went to this compound it did not automatically become a Consulate.
Once more the Republican leadership has sailed their boat onto the rocks.
The People who were in Bengazi are SPYS not embassy workers. The last thing they need is to sit on CNN and tell all. They all have families, friends, and fellow employees who if they appear will die.
The State Department got caught with their drawers down and every body died.

You also have to realize that when an active duty officer gets moved to the spook outfits they often are moved to the retired rolls. Keeps the pay checks working since you can't be paid twice to do the same job.

When the person who should be ashamed that you found out about the information thinks they have the right to do these things then there can be no scandal! Bill Clinton found no problem with you knowing he was doing an intern because he thought that was what they were for, and since she was a consenting adult no crime ws committed. So when Obama decides that the people who are in that compound are expendible since they are hired to risk their lives he feels: "So What". People like these can not be effected by scandal since they have no honor or conscience to worry about it.

New Benghazi Details Revealed in Bombshell CNN Report: 'Unprecedented' Effort Underway to Keep Secrets From LeakingAug. 1, 2013 5:03pm Jason Howerton The CIA is polygraphing its operatives on a regular basis in an "unprecedented" effort to prevent Benghazi secrets from leaking out, CNN's Drew Griffin is reporting, citing unnamed inside sources. "Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency's missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency’s workings," the bombshell report reveals. "The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress." www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/08/01/shock-cnn-report-cia-is-polygraphing-operatives-regularly-in-unprecedented-effort-to-keep-benghazi-secrets/

It is like the Bradley Manning case. They (the administration) realizes that very soon there will be a test of their classification programs. The know that most of what Manning shared would not qualify as Classified Information under the many lawful descriptions on the books. They know that Obama's Executive Orders on the subject were not in anyway descriptive of the information that Snowden and Manning leaked out. To protect their jobs and their personal actions outside of other law they must rely not on the rule of law, but on the rule of force. When Wikileaks began publishing their inner most thoughts and comments to each other they became as we are over the NSA doing the same thing to us. After all they are the rulers not the serfs! So to keep the door on truth shut as long as possible they have to use intimidation which can only be punished if the employee quits and goes into hiding after reporting. Thus you need to cut the pipeline above the whistle. Cut it at reporters like Hastings.

Go back and read forward from the beginning of this thread and see how far ahead of the curve we were in the analysis of this scandal.
CIA 'running arms smuggling team in Benghazi when consulate was attacked'
The CIA has been subjecting operatives to monthly polygraph tests in an attempt to suppress details of a US arms smuggling operation in Benghazi that was ongoing when its ambassador was killed by a mob in the city last year, according to reports.
By Damien McElroy, 11:06AM BST 02 Aug 2013
Up to 35 CIA operatives were working in the city during the attack last September on the US consulate that resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, according to CNN.
The circumstances of the attack are a subject of deep division in the US with some Congressional leaders pressing for a wide-ranging investigation into suspicions that the government has withheld details of its activities in the Libyan city.
The television network said that a CIA team was working in an annex near the consulate on a project to supply missiles from Libyan armouries to Syrian rebels.
