Ollie North: White House Benghazi Actions "Unconscionable" (Good video interview)

Video at link, 9:08 minutes.

Only one person, the Commander in Chief, is to be held accountable for what happened in Benghazi, and President Barack Obama has failed in his most important responsibility, Col. Oliver North told Newsmax TV.

North, who wrote the best-selling book, “American Heroes in Special Operations,” said the buck has to stop at the top.

“Not the secretary of state, not the secretary of defense,” he said. “It’s the commander in chief, the man we hired to fulfill the most important responsibility of our head of state and that is as commander in chief of the Armed Forces to make decisions that will protect and save American lives. Barack Obama failed in his most important responsibility. That’s part of the coverup of what we see took place in Benghazi on the night of September 11."

Herridge On Cable Month Before Benghazi Attack: "Smoking Gun Warning Here"

There was no surprise about the attack. There was no 'failure of intel.' The attack was predicted in precise detail a month before it occurred. The draw down of security had to be intentional.

CIA Sources: Obama ordered military not to help Ambassador Stevens

The failure to approve a rescue had to be intentional.

Sources: Key task force not convened during Benghazi consulate attack

Keeping the Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG) in the dark about the attack had to be intentional.

Tweeting apologies for the 'anti-Muhammed video' beginning early that morning, repeatedly blaming all the violence at all of our embassies on the 'video' and making an apology video to air in Pakistan had to be intentional.

Stevens presence in Benghazi on 9-11 had to be intentional.

I wonder what the 'had to be intentionals' were about? Feared escalation of war in Syria? Possible involvement of the Russians? Failed planned 'rescue' attempt? . . or just plain support of the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islam.

My gut tells me is was just political before the election. . . A calculated risk. Voting present again. . Hoping they wouldn't do anything before the election. But whoops, got 'A bump in the road.'

I don’t even care anymore. At the very least it’s criminal negligence beyond any doubt. Given the context that’s treason. Try him and hang him.

The security commander who was brought home said the Brits, the Red Cross and others left. “We were the last flag standing”

He knew it was just a matter of time until the certain attack come.

There was no October surprise planned by Obama. The date was 9/11 not 10 something.

Yep, I've no doubt at all Obama and others knew an attack was imminent and did nothing, if not treason it's criminal and he should be prosecuted.
