Just Who DID answer the 3:00AM Call?

“Fox military analyst Col. David Hunt checked in with us again after the revelation that there were multiple listening posts which heard the cries for help from the US Embassy in Libya and none of them did anything. The State Department says they still do not know what really happened in Libya.”
(*******************************************************
From the thread:
Sets up a telling timeline, IMHO.
.
According to Col. Hunt (Fox News contributor and Howie Carr regular) as soon as the alert button in the U.S. Libyan Consulate (U.S. sovereign territory) was pushed signaling that it was being attacked a dozen or more monitoring units through-out the world (European, African, Nato, U.S. States Dept. in DC area, etc.) were alerted and instant monitoring began (including the audio and video being sent [real time] from the Consulate’s security cameras and the on air voice transmission of Ambassador Steven’s aide. With-in MINUTES protocol dictates that The President be alerted, the Sec. of Defense, the Sec. of State, the heads of the CIA, FBI, etc. be alerted ... the monitoring took place for the entire six hours that the attack lasted.
The 09/11/12 terrorist attack [on U.S. sovereign ground], assassination and murders began at 9:30 PM Libyan time = 3:30 AM Eastern U.S. time. Apparently, when that “3 AM Phone Call” came-in ... President 0bama turned-over and went back to sleep as did Sec. of State Clinton.

.
12:00 p.m. Secretary Clinton meets with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, at the White House.
Obama was informed about the developments in Libya by his National Security Adviser Tom Donilon as the president began a weekly meeting Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey. The White House said Obama was kept apprised throughout the evening and then again Wednesday morning.
//
The U.S. embassy in Egypt had tried to pre-empt the attack, issuing a statement hours earlier that condemned “the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.” Embassy officials also called Nader Bakkar, a spokesman for the conservative Islamist Nour party, in which they apologized for the film and Jones’ call, but Bakkar said he was unwilling to call off the protest, and embassy employees were sent home early.

DRONE:
In addition to the footage from the consulate cameras, the U.S. government is also poring over video taken from an overhead U.S. surveillance drone that arrived for the final hour of the night battle at the consulate compound and nearby annex.
David Petraeus’s first year at the CIA
EXCERPT
Petraeus was well-known as a commander for fastening on “big ideas.” He has just floated to employees a new strategic plan that focuses on ways for the agency to exploit new technology more effectively.
The measure of any CIA director is operations, and Petraeus’s instincts here have reflected his military background. In Yemen, Petraeus improved coordination with the military on drone attacks and other operations. The CIA and the military (not always good partners) have shared intelligence, personnel and even hardware.
Petraeus is also said to have pushed hard in Libya, rushing case officers there to work with the opposition. Making this surge work fell to John Bennett, the head of the operations directorate. A blunt, tough officer who had planned to leave with Panetta, Bennett is said to have complained that he occasionally felt he was in a “hostile work environment.” But Bennett was able to pull officers from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere.

John Bennett CIA appointment (Director of the National Clandestine Services) is a mistake

Good links om thread.

John Bennett CIA appointment is a mistake
It is evident from the continued Islamist activities throughout the North West Frontier Provinces and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan that Bennett actually failed in his duties as Chief of Station in Pakistan.
His inabilities to understand, identify, and formulate strategic plans of covert and clandestine activities destroying our adversaries networks throughout the region have led to an increase in loss of coalition lives in recent years. He played a devastating political game. It is evident that the current Obama administration selected Bennett to serve as a puppet in this prominent position considering he failed in Pakistan.
If the Obama administration truly wanted to defeat the world crisis of Islamist extremism, they should have selected an individual who does not seek an interest in making friends in the world’s elite, someone who truly understands Islamists and other ideologies from adversaries throughout the rest of the world, and an individual with a proven track record in such capacities.
The Obama administration made a grave mistake in the selection of John Bennett. Instead, they should have looked at others to serve in such a capacity. One person that comes to mind is Gary Bernsten.
Mr. Bernsten could have and most likely would have been an excellent candidate. He is the author of the book Jawbreaker. He ate, slept, lived, and continuously served in multiple capacities throughout the Afghanistan/Pakistan region. He is astute in his fundamental knowledge of Islamic extremism and he has a solid reputation instilling fear amongst our nation’s adversaries.
