What we learned today about the Benghazi attacks

If anyone suggests that nothing new was said in today’s Benghazi hearing — it’s just not true. It doesn’t take a smoking gun to solve a murder case, and the absence of a smoking gun here doesn’t take away from the fact that huge doubt was cast both on the Obama administration’s diligence with respect to its mission in Libya and its sincerity in explaining what had happened after the fact.

There were several important revelations in today’s testimony. They come from sources that are not mere partisan hacks, but civil servants who experienced the Benghazi attacks up close and have since, in some cases, suffered retaliation from the Obama administration for daring to step forward.

Here are a few of the lessons from today, just the quick and dirty version:

“”I’ve been waiting for that harpy to get it in the neck for over a decade.””

Which harpy would that be? Hillary or Mills? There are so many of them. Another one under the radar is Samantha Powers. I believe she’s married to Cass Sunstein. Powers is a supposed “unofficial” advisor to the president.

What can Congress do?
If there is something they CAN do then they should because if this does not rise to a level calling for action then nothing does. Maybe the Congress needs to do it’s job and let the news media/coverage fall where it may.

The real reason why the CIA and DoS were at Benghazi: It was the focal point for the shipment of ex-Libyan weapons and ammunition, including chemical, to Turkey to arm the New Syrian Army Rebels.

The raid on Benghazi was really a shot across Obama’s and Hillary's bow by Putin. The Russians had seen CIA and DoS contractors showing NSA personnel how to arm, fuze, and mount the chemical warheads. Putin got the FSB to use Libyan proxy fighters to attack Benghazi.

In the months since Benghazi there's been talk of chemical weapons’ use in Syria. Assad has denied it and the NSA is claiming it. Assad has no reason to use his chemical weapons yet as he's containing, or even getting the upper hand in the Syrian civil war. The NSA does have a reason to use chemical weapons as part of “false flag’ operations. The UN seems to be confirming Assad's claims and not those of the NSA.

The problem for Obama: he's engaging in a covert war to topple a Russian, Chinese, and Iranian ally (Assad) and he's using terrorist groups that we are fighting in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. WTF, people? Obama is using proxy fighters to topple Assad that are enemies of this country? Obama’s Saudi handlers must be very proud. Meanwhile, Barry and Vallerie Jarrett revel in their treason.

Those guys gave of themselves under orders to stand down, and they said eff it, and did the right thing saving many lives. Now we need those saved lives that were there to say eff it, and do the right thing, and ignore the orders to stand down, and tell the truth as to what happened naming names.

That was such a long time ago. What difference does it make?

What we learned is what we already knew by watching the FOX channel. Too bad that the MSM chose to ignore the facts.

First Basic Questions!

Why did we have a CIA “Annex” Base in Benghazi?

How many CIA were there in their compound?

What the Hell were they doing on site in Benghazi?

finally:

How many weapons from the Libyans were they able to capture, to re-purpose for the Syrians; through Turkey?? and, why did that piss off so many Al-Qaida terrorists in Benghazi??

This same scenario was floating about just after the massacre in Benghazi... very plausible.

It is sas but I still thing this whole thing was a show trial and nothing will come of it but the destruction of guys who have tried to do the right thing.

There is no media outside of Fox and talk radio. The rest is just an arm of the DNC.

They kept a Rolodex of every freakin’ member of the CPUSA, SDS, Weather Underground, SNCC, Black Panthers, Simbionese Liberation Army et al and inserted them all into the interstices of government.

Only now and then do they expose themselves, Like Anita Dunn ssying she loves Mao, or Van Jones popping off his Marxist roots. Iran born Marxist Val Jarrett runs the White House!

The ringleader of this circus? O himself, who was a red diaper baby and tutored all the way up with the most radical America haters knows to exist.

Power was born in Ireland (no indication she ever became a US citizen) and is rabidly anti-Israel. She also was the driving force to intervene in Libya militarily, so you can bet she was all over the WH decision to “remove the FEST [Emergency Support Team] option from the menu”..
