Benghazi-gate continues: CIA operators were told to 'stand down'
Washington Times ^ | October 26, 2012 | Bob Siegel

.....It’s almost unimaginable that the Obama administration could spin their way out of this one. They’ll try, but there aren’t too many cards left to play. The video narrative has ridden off into the horizon and can help them no longer.

They’ll probably dismiss Fox News as a right wing, hence unreliable source. They’d be wise not to try it. A quick trip down memory lane takes us back to September, when DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz claimed the conservative Washington Examiner misquoted her, only to discover that her words had been recorded....

Even if Debbie had not already paved the way to Fool’s Gold, Obama should remember that conservative news outlets are not alone in this ever morphing story. His allies in the main steam media cannot shield him forever. Sometimes, when evidence pours down like sharp, cold hail, conventional news outlets actually report the news. It might be a whole new experience for them, but they do it, if only by kicking and screaming......

.......If President Obama knew the truth and told Carney to lie, he has lost the right to be president. The only other explanation is that somehow these reports never got to him, possibly because he was busy campaigning. That involves a scenario where the president’s subordinates were deliberately keeping him in the dark. Anything is possible, but this strains credulity.

For some Obama supporters, the information breakdown theory may be more palatable, but the choice is then between gross negligence and downright lying. In the case of negligence, a portion of the lie remains. If we ignore logic and assume that despite cries for help,e-mails,and official intelligence reports, Obama still did not know the truth, we are left asking where the video story came from. If he didn’t know anything,did he just make it up?...........

...Facts are stubborn things.....

A good timeline. What we knew and when. 3 pages long. See entire article.

Excellent! Thanks. This is a very good start. There are new data to put in like the e-mails and FOX's revelation of the Stand-down orders.

I will have to continue my work now. If someone takes up the glove, please ping me, otherwise I will try to get at it late tonight (I'm at MGT +1).

I think there is also a broader lesson to be learned also. By us. If he is allowed to get away with this. If no one comes forward to state the truth and resign, then it is crystal clear to these thugs that they can get away with anything. I mean ANYTHING! Who will step forward when citizens are rounded up here? A few brave souls may rush to a rescue, but it is clear, very clear, from this example, that those up the chain will follow orders. If not now, WHEN??

They will say we are only attacking him because he’s black, that we never wanted a black prez to succeed, that we couldn’t wait to have a chance to diminish him....etc etc

But we won’t back down because our grandchildren are depending on us to make sure there’s a free country waiting for them when they grow up.

It has nothing to do with him being black and EVERYTHING to do with his committing treason while having been seated as the POTUS! Isn’t that the worst kind of treason?

In this administration, the buck stops with Valerie Jarrett.

OK, I know it won't be popular, but I volunteer to be the executioner of the sentence.

I have looked every which way at this act of aggression against America’s ambassador and the needless death of the brave men who defended him and can only conclude that Obama and all his inner circle are guilty of dereliction of duty. They put “campaign” in front of “command” and must leave office and be prosecuted.

What happened in Benghazi was an act of war. You do not fly off to Vegas when your nation is under attack. You get the smart men working and the brave men working and you bark for constant intel and bark to make it better and you sit on the edge of your seat hoping for the good word that our citizens are safe because, spiritually, you are THERE WITH THEM. So it’s the middle of the night? You drink a whole damn pot of coffee to keep you awake although if your adrelin and determination and love are not enough to keep your eyelids propped then you have no heart and no conscience and need to get a different job.

Here’s an answer for you. The co-president, Valerie Jarrett, had not yet told him what his decision would be.

Since that time, DWS has kept a very low profile and is also in a tight race to keep her seat. Too bad.

Although it’s tempting, why blame this decision on anyone else other than the CIC? Why let him off the hook?

VJ was not elected, Zero was. He wanted the job so badly, he deserves ALL the blame when he screws up. He and he ALONE.

I agree 100%. How did Zero know that this wasn’t the beginning of a cascade of attacks on our consulates worldwide? It very well could have been given the date of 9/11.

GWB was excoriated for spending an extra three minutes reading a book before attending to the attack.

It truly was dereliction of duty for Obama to leave the situation room until it was ascertained that this was an isolated attack and not just one in a series to come.

I started this thread a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, I went out of town and am now so far behind I don’t think I’ll ever catch up.

A lot of people posted a lot of good links to other threads, but it is not current with this week’s news.

You missed my point entirely. Obama is appearing more and more to be a puppet of Valerie Jarrett. Yes, Obama is to blame, but he apparently is not adequately knowledgeable about current events and relies only on the filtered data that she feeds to him.

I understand where you’re coming from. But I personally think that VJ’s being Obama’s puppetmaster is just another piece of propaganda coming out of the regime.

Obama surrounds himself with people whom he initially puffs up, then blames when it benefits him. How many people has he thrown under the bus in the past few years?

IMO, VJ has become larger than life - just as Zero intended. Helps him with the feminazis.
