Herridge On Cable Month Before Benghazi Attack: "Smoking Gun Warning Here"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 10/31/12 | Catherine Herridge

Posted on 10/31/2012 10:18:30 PM PDT by Roberts

"I really believe, having read it, that it is the smoking gun warning here. You've got this emergency meeting in Benghazi, less than a month before the attack. At that briefing, the people are told that there are ten, ten, Islamic militias and al-Qaeda groups in Benghazi. The consulate can not sustain a coordinated attack and they need extra help. This information goes directly to the office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. So, again, you have the culpability of the State Department. This is a very specific warning that they're in trouble, they need help and they see an attack on the horizon," FOX News' Catherine Herridge reported on FOX News' "On the Record" Wednesday night.

"I believe based on this cable the point that was being made, that they wanted made publicly, not just in a classified study, is that the warning that came from Benghazi was very specific. It said 'we can not withstand an attack,' the militias are everything, al-Qaeda is here. This was known to the U.S. intelligence community as well. And that they really could not see a situation where security was going to turn around. They send that it was trending negatively," Herridge further reported.

"I can't think of anything that would be more specific than if these groups had emailed the State Department and said, 'Here's the time, here's the place, and here's the method of the attack,'" she said.

And when did Glen Doherty go there? I have this vague recollection that his dad said that his son visited in the summer before heading to Libya. His dad was concerned about this mission. But I don’t remember what else he said. It seemed like this mission caused Mr. Doherty more angst than he would normally feel. It is just the feeling I got from what he said. I have no idea what the source was.

Herridge is bright and intense and she has been on this like white on rice, along with other FNC reporters. They smell blood in the water (not to mention Pulitzers) and they will not be deterred. Whether it happens before the election or not I don’t know but I believe this will doom both Hussein and Clinton when it all comes out. Pretty soon there’s going to be a new sheriff in town, and even the MSM won’t be able to sweep this under the rug.

I’d bet money on a Pulitzer for Herridge.

Just saw the report after getting home from work.

It looks as though the _resident is gonna blame Bubba’s wife.

I hope this expedites the leaks she must have.

Remember the photo of Hillary holding the newspaper with the headline “Bush Knew”?

You can bet the MSM will try. Right now, the Hurricane is dominating the airwaves, so they get a reprise from Benghazi. Or an excuse as I like to call it. Not to diminish the horrible devastation, but we need some answers before the election.

Only the POTUS had the authority to act!

0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

They confirm everything Col. Hunt said about automatic notifications to the WH and add more details.

There are three scandals here...

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

Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.

The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.

ONE man had the authority to act that night.

ONE man deserted his post!

Cables indicate the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, SENT HIM THERE with FULL KNOWLEDGE of what was going to HAPPEN.

HILLARY SET HIM UP.

I admire both the Fox Gals doing the heavy lifting.

First it was SOS, then the _resident. Now we are back to the SOS.

It looks like we have different groups in this administration Positioning.

Could not happen to a more suitable group. I only wish it would have come out sooner.

I watched her segment on Greta’s tonight. She’s a serious and honest reporter.

I got this email tonight: Flag this message Stop Fox News: Tell FCC To Revoke Broadcast License NOW!Wednesday, October 31, 2012 7:03 PM From: "Melanie Jones" View contact details To: "Ruth Earnshaw" Sign the Petition! Dear Ruth Earnshaw, Help us take Fox News off the air—get the FCC to revoke Rupert Murdoch’s broadcast licenses NOW! The deplorable actions Murdoch has taken to run his News Corp. empire prove we can't trust him to act in the public interest. Now, a study by Farleigh Dickinson University shows Fox News can’t even claim to inform its audience: its viewers are less informed than those who avoid news outlets altogether! It’s the Federal Communications Commission’s job to consider the character of a media owner when dealing out broadcast licenses, and to label programs as news only when they actually inform viewers. The Murdoch Mafia has failed on both counts, and we have a chance to take them down for good. Save the airwaves from bigotry and corruption: tell the FCC to enforce the law NOW! FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION: Rupert Murdoch has failed every “character” test available, and the programs under his broadcasting licenses have both been implicated in scandal and have been proven to make audiences less informed, not more. We urge you to revoke Murdoch’s broadcasting licenses immediately, and to take a stand against his corrupt media empire. Sign this petition now. Thanks, -- The folks at Watchdog.net P.S. If the other links aren't working for you, please go here to sign: http://act.watchdog.net/petitions/109?n=2054052.tL7zhp

Use the links to file complaints with the FCC against all the alphabet medias too, and then praise Fox for doing the job that the press is supposed to do.

You've got this emergency meeting in Benghazi, less than a month before the attack.

That was about the time when Hillary was attending dance parties at foreign nightclubs.......
