Prelude
09/10/2012 USA / Breitbart report by Wynton Hall: Obama Misses Over Half His Intelligence Briefings
During a White House press briefing ... White House Press Secretary Jay Carney blasted the Government Accountability Institute's ["GAI"] findings as being "hilarious" and said:
The President of the United States gets the presidential daily briefing every day. He always reads it, every day, because he's a voracious consumer of all of his briefing material...This president is very much steeped in the details of national security issues.
09/10/2012 USA / Washington Post Opinion [article] by Marc A. Thiessen: Why is Obama skipping more than half of his daily intelligence meetings?
I asked National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor about the findings, and whether there were any instances where the president attended the intelligence meeting[s] that were not on his public schedule."
Vietor said the fact that the president, during a time of war, does not attend his daily intelligence meeting on a daily basis is "not particularly interesting or useful..."Yet Vietor also directed me to a Post story written this year [01/14/2012] in which Obama officials discuss the importance of the intelligence meeting and extol how brilliantly the president runs it.
Egyptian Intelligence Warning
09/11/2012 11:06 AM EDT USA (5:06 PM Benghazi) (6:06 PM Cairo) / Arutz Sheva (IsraelNationalNews.com) report by Rachel Hirshfeld: Intelligence Warns of Attacks Against Israeli and US Embassies
Egyptian intelligence warned that a radical jihadi group is planning to launch attacks against the US and Israeli embassies in Cairo.
The Egyptian Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper reportedly obtained a copy of a top secret letter addressed to Major General Samy Sedhom, first assistant Interior Minister for Social Security, on September 4, which stated that intelligence services notified the ministry's national security body that elements from the organization in Egypt and Gaza were planning attacks on the two embassies.

Attack on U.S. Consular Station in Benghazi, Libya
09/11/2012 5:22 PM EDT USA (11:22 PM Benghazi) (09/12/2012 12:22 AM Cairo)
FreeRepublic.com member SE Mom posts reply 36, that refers to an AFP/Reuters story: Mob sets fire to US consulate in Benghazi, staffer diesThe AFP/Reuters story included a photo of the burning Consulate station, with the caption: "The U.S. Consulate in Benghazi is seen in flames during a protest by an armed group said to have been protesting a film being produced in the United States September 11, 2012."
FreeRepublic.com member SE Mom's reply is among other replies to a story originally posted by FreeRepublic.com member kristinn:
(Egypt) U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement (U.S. bows to Islam)
The attack was worldwide public information by at least 11:22 PM Benghazi time.
Consider the following scenario (all times Benghazi local) [excerpts]:
Hicks in Tripoli received a call at 9:40 PM from Ambassador Stevens informing him, "Greg, we are under attack!" (Stevens' last words).By 10:30 PM, a drone was over the compound and streaming live feed to U.S. commands.
At 11:30 PM, Woods, Doherty and five others leave Tripoli, arriving in Benghazi at 1:30 AM on Wednesday morning, where they hold off the attacking mob from the roof of the compound until they are killed by a mortar direct hit at 4:00 AM.
You appear to be the first to have posted a story re the 09/11/2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate station at Benghazi, Libya.
“Vietor said the fact that the president, during a time of war, does not attend his daily intelligence meeting on a daily basis is “not particularly interesting or useful...”
Umm...yeah, SURE! I expect FDR DID attend all such intelligence meetings. Even though I don’t respect him for being a Democrat, at least we won the war.

But it already is apparent to some committee members that previous investigations, including the State Department review known as the Accountability Review Board, were not as exhaustive as the administration claimed. "If you go look at the other reports that were done, whether it be the Accountability Review Board or the Senate case (last January’s intelligence committee report), there are places where they have enough details but many, many gaps in the fact pattern," Rep.

The inference that Obama “is not particularly interesting,” was a gem.
Yep.
In Libya, witnesses say members of a radical Islamist group called Ansar al-Sharia protested near the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, where NATO jets established no-fly zones last year to halt ground attacks from then-Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi.
CNN SAID ALREADY IT WAS ANSAR AL-SHARIA!
At the time, I heard on Egyptian TV that Morsi's MB, the good buddies of and supported by 0b0z0, were DEMANDING THE RELEASE OF THE BLIND SHEIKH FROM PRISON!
There was no damn video.
Here are some dots to connect:
1- one of the first Morsi "requests" from 0b0z0 was to release the blind sheikh
2- there were accounts about that night in Benghazi stating that Egyptian MB were there and Egyptian dialect was heard shouting: don't shoot; Morsi sent us!
3- there was a theory that said that the Benghazi incident was a set up to "kidnap" Stevens and not hurt him in order to trade him for the blind sheikh. 0b0z0 was supposed to be "forced" to accept the deal and "save the ambassador's life" just before the '12 election!
As we know now, things went wrong, perhaps because of the safe room and the perpetrators couldn't capture the ambassador they torched the embassy and the rest is sad history!
That what could have happened, BUT NO VIDEO BS!
Above and beyond what actually happened before, during and after the Benghazi terrorist attack.
What kind of half-wit idiots-in-charge of the federal government would not beef up and tighten up security at every US installation in every foreign country on 9/11 every year?
Just for that failure alone Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama should be sitting in prison.
Check this, it seems to be fairly comprehensive:

“he’s (Obama is) a voracious consumer of all of his briefing material”
John Semmons, right?
Hilliary is STILL talking about the fact that video could also be part of what caused 9-11-12 to happen. She subscribes to the if-I-throw-enough-s**t-against-the-wall-some-of-it-will-stick schtick. And sadly, there are many who will defend and adore her.
9/11/01 al Qaeda declared War on the US.
Before Gadaffi was overthrown, Obozo was arming al Qaeda who was still openly at war with the US.
We gave them weapons in Libya to overthrow Gadaffi, we were trans shipping them to Syria from Benghazi using Turkey as the carrier.
Obama gave weapons to our enemies who had attacked us on 9/11, during a time of War. (we had not declared war but they did)
What is aiding and abetting the enemy during time of WAR called? TREASON.
“She subscribes to the if-I-throw-enough-s**t-against-the-wall-some-of-it-will-stick schtick.”
She is the POS that wants to stick to the white hive.
“We gave them weapons in Libya to overthrow Gadaffi, we were trans shipping them to Syria from Benghazi using Turkey as the carrier.”
I’m afraid 0b0z0 is arming al-Qaeda in Syria, again. They’re slaughtered by Assad and Hizbollah who are doing what he is supposed to be doing.
He’ll welcome the American suicide bomber’s cohorts when they come back here to the neighborhood near you.
We’ll see about that.

Good points. The plan failed when two former Seals went above and beyond the call of duty, and against orders to stand down, and rescued the survivors taking out 60 jihadis in the process. They were then abandoned to die by o and h as their reward.
“The plan failed when two former Seals went above and beyond the call of duty, and against orders to stand down, and rescued the survivors taking out 60 jihadis in the process.”
Very true. More details about reduced security for the compound fit what happened.
- when Stevens asked for increased security he didn’t get it.
- security was actually reduced in the months preceding the attack
- the Libyan militia “security” contractors left the complex grounds before the attack; thus leaving the complex totally unguarded
And, there must have been a “stand down” order to the rescue troops or contractors, otherwise, why didn’t they go?
The vanishing of 0b0z0 and Hitlery at that crucial time tells a lot about this, especially when they were told that Stevens’ whereabouts were unknown for several hours, they must have thought that the “kidnapping” was pulled off although the operation didn’t go as smoothly as planned.
As I mentioned in my previous post, there was talk about “kidnapping” Stevens and trading him for the blind sheikh. I have no way of knowing whether it was true.
If it were true, the scheme would connect many dots and answer many questions.
