Retired 4 star Admiral Blows Whistle on Benghazi new Evidence (1/17/2013)
Polisite ^ | 1/17/2013 | Doc Vega

"This apparent abduction by terrorists of our ambassador and then negotiated trade for the Blind Sheikh would have been the “October Surprise” that would have elevated President Obama’s flagging popularity and boosted his approval ratings for a re-election. A dramatic prisoner exchange that saved our ambassador’s life However, something went horribly wrong. A cunning and illegal bit of treachery by the Obama White House turned into something entirely different. Obama’s October surprise turned into a carnage orchestrated by the White House itself as the President, Leon Panetta, and CIA Director, David Petraeus watched via a UAV real-time feed as a 7 hour attack on the Benghazi Embassy raged. Reportedly, stand down orders were given several times to different units within striking distance."

Knowledgeable commentary on the status of our forces would have no bearing on Benghazi? What planet are you from?

When it comes out of Katherine Herridge’s mouth, I will believe it.

” The Republicans have missed opportunities to discredit the President, to impeach Obama in the wake of waging war against Libya without Congressional approval, and allowed executive privilege to quash subpoenaed demands for evidence on Fast and Furious never released by AG Eric Holder. John Boehner, Speaker of the House, has refused to exercise initiative whenever the GOP could have used much-needed momentum to stem the tide against the incessant assaults against state’s rights, constitutional rights, and the traditional institutions of America.”

Boehner . Useless.

Click on the links provided at the source - used to present the claim that Lyons is pushing this kidnapping theory. Neither the article or the video mentions anything of the sort.

The video was posted June 22, 2012, so it cannot have any bearing on Benghazi.

I was replying only to that stupid comment.

Trading the guy who tried to blow up the World Trade Center for an unknown ambassador would cinch the election for Barry?

Somebody’s smokin’ something.

If this is true and it’s been suspected for a long time (false flag), then the whole “video” issue was also staged as some have suggested. I still think there is something awfully suspicious about the .... “AND THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT” claim about the video as they were all speaking together... a part of the “TALKING POINTS” that happened and was not part of the email dump yesterday!

The orchestrated cover-up (just a small snippet):

1.
Hillary Clinton Speaking at a press conference from the State Department on September 13, 2012
“Let me state very clearly — and I hope it is obvious — that the United States Government had absolutely nothing to do with this video.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXYdb57P7T4

2.
Press Gaggle by Press Secretary Jay Carney — Golden, CO, 9/13/12
“As Secretary Clinton said today, the United States government had nothing to do with this movie.”

3.
Hillary Clinton Speaks at Ceremony as Bodies of Americans Killed in Libya Arrive in the US September 14, 2012
“We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with.”
http://foxnewsinsider.com/2012/09/14/transcript-video-hillary-clinton-speaks-at-ceremony-as-bodies-of-americans-killed-in-libya-arrive-in-the-us/

4.
White House spokesman Jay Carney held a press briefing September 14, 2012
“The reason why there’s unrest is because of the film. This is in response to the film… this is not a film that the United States government had anything to do with. We reject its message and its contents we find it both reprehensible.”
http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/09/14/carney-anti-islam-video-completely-to-blame-for-unrest/

5.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, goes on morning shows at NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and CNN. September 16, 2012
Rice called the attack a “direct result of a heinous and offensive video that was widely disseminated, that the U.S. government had nothing to do with.”

Sept. 18: Obama was asked about the Benghazi attack on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
“As offensive as this video was and, obviously, we’ve denounced it and the United States government had nothing to do with it.

7.
President Barack Obama’s speech to the UN General Assembly — full text September 25, 2012

I’m guessing it is old news.

This “theory” has been out there since 9/11.

I hope its true. Its not enough that we know Benghazi happened and Obama/Clinton/Rice lied through their teeth about it.

We have to know WHY it happened. What did FUBO FUBAR?

Yes, it's a story that's been out there but has gotten no play.

"Did Obama Stage Benghazi Attack?
October 15, 2012 by C.O. Jones

I received a phone call from an old friend that has been in Washington D.C. for years and is fairly well-connected politically. What she told me was ugly and sinister, yet very compelling. She said she had received information from someone high up in White House circles, and wanted my thoughts. No, there is no leaked email, no concrete proof, and this article is based on “hearsay.” I’m not one that usually engages in or repeats hearsay, but if this is true, it could be the biggest story in 50 years.

According to her, Barack Obama, wanting an “October Surprise,” had secretly arranged with the Muslim Brotherhood for a kidnapping of our ambassador. Then sometime in October before the election Obama was to orchestrate some great military action to rescue Ambassador Stevens, causing all of America to cheer Obama’s strong foreign policy and bravery and making him look like a hero. After all, his supposed killing of Osama Bin Laden bounce had long since faded. Thus, sweeping him to victory in November. Imagine the headlines and talking points. The election would be a lock. The Muslim Brotherhood has every reason to want Obama re-elected in November and have an American President sympathetic to their causes. Not to mention an administration filled with Muslim appeasers. Therefore, they agreed to aid in these theatrics. Unfortunately for Ambassador Stevens and three others, the Brotherhood could not control the hired thugs that were to perform the kidnapping and things escalated and four American lives were lost. Panic set in at the White House and with little time to place blame as far away from Obama as they could, they settled on a ridiculous fairy tale about an irrelevant video posted four months prior on YouTube and ran with it. Barack Obama even ran with it after evidence showed he knew better and ran with it all the way to his speech at the U.N.

..."

Evidently he didn’t. He told the military to stand down but 2 seals did not and this is what ultimately led to the carnage. The muslims apparently felt they were double crossed. This is my understanding of the article anyway. This administration should hang in the wind. The whole lot of them are trash openly attacking America and her values.

I don’t understand why the Won would have derailed his own operation.

He didn't; Woods and Doherty did by putting up a fight that wasn't supposed to happen.
