Is this the video that Chairman Issa wanted to obtain from the State Department, the so-called “smoking gun” from the hearings.

Confirming what we already knew. Impeach King Obama and Laughing Joe. Wish we could but without the entire House and super majority Senate just that, a wish.

Where is the video or is this just an article on what the video shows?

I cannot see a thing sans the video but it's obvious from all the evidence without the video this was preplanned murder/terrorism. I'd also like to know for certain if the ambassador was sodomized; hate to hear the truth but this will show a real reason why having no guns in Indians country is a foolish move that will get you raped then killed, or killed then raped.

Eric Nordstromm said WH/Foggy Bottom couldn't send anymore help. It was political, it was the video, and now all government had dragged their feet for over a month.

Somebody identify the weapons, and tell me if they’re ours or the Russians!

I want to know if 0bama armed the Islamonazis.

So a drone could get there to record the murders, but an F-16 couldn't get there to prevent the murders?

Friggin' amazing.

"In addition to the footage from the consulate cameras, the U.S. government is also poring over video taken from an overhead U.S. surveillance drone that arrived for the final hour of the night battle at the consulate compound and nearby annex."

The thing that pisses me off the most when I see “former military analysts” on TV talking about this is they never explain the obvious. The obvious in this case is the fact that a mortar is a crew served weapon. One guy humps the tube and the other guy humps the base plate and ammo. Larger mortar tubes require 3 man crews. If these so-called analysts would explain this, then the average Joe would understand that there is no way in hell this attack wasn’t a well planed operation and not some rag tag protest.

I don't think so...the drone arrived late....

I believe that the video Issa wants is the LIVE ON LINE STREAMING from hi-res cameras at the consulate....

They were watching all this in USA in real time...

refer to the transcripts of the Issa hearings.

“Video footage from the United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya, taken the night of the Sept. 11 anniversary attacks, shows an organized group of armed men attacking the compound, according to two U.S. intelligence officials who have seen the footage and are involved in the ongoing investigation. The footage, which was recovered from the site last week by the Federal Bureau of Investigation...”

“In addition to the footage from the consulate cameras, the U.S. government is also poring over video taken from an overhead U.S. surveillance drone that arrived for the final hour of the night battle at the consulate compound and nearby annex.”

And, Lamb’s outfit watched in real-time.

But, the WH didn’t know. :o/

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/09/27/us-officials-knew-libya-attack-was-terrorism-within-24-hours-sources-confirm/

Intelligence sources said that the Obama administration internally labeled the attack terrorism from the first day in order to unlock and mobilize certain resources to respond, and that officials were looking for one specific suspect. The sources said the intelligence community knew by Sept. 12 that the militant Ansar al-Shariah and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb were likely behind the strike.

Of course the WH did’t know they were partying in Vegas.
When they heard “take out” they assumed it was food not our embassy.

So who has seen this video and who has copies of it now?

CNN? Ominous warning by Issa.

“The videos were filmed from multiple closed-circuit cameras throughout the compound, and are at times grainy and hard to decipher. There are also some gaps. There is no footage, for example, of Ambassador Chris Stevens going into the safe room where he eventually died from smoke inhalation. The footage at the gate of the compound is taken from an angle that filmed the attackers from the side, so the people in the crowd can mostly be seen in profile.”

Gaps ... imagine that!

Thanks very much for this ping.

Saving this thread.

The Marxist was too busy to attend his TS briefings.

Eli Lake is doing some awesome reporting. I don’t know if you’ve been following his reports.

Methinks Obama has been out of the loop for some time, sent on the trail and talk show circuit cashing in on what’s left of his dimming ‘star’ power.
