Hey now, lets cut the guy some slack. He had a lot of stuff on his mind, like that Vegas fundraiser thing.

Sounds to me like the left hand DIDN’T WANT the right hand to know what it was doing.

WELL worth reading the whole article. With CBS doing this sort of “random act of journalism,”, my guess is that some whistelblowers are getting very impatient. This thing could get noisy yet.


Chances are this will NEVER be mentioned on the CBS tv station.

Maybe they didn’t notify the Counter-terrorism Security Group because it wasn’t an “act of terrorism” (as they, WH, State Dept., etc., were saying all along) but they knew for a fact that it was “A Nation/State sponsored attack”! Read http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/50586 for the real hidden truth of the Benghazi attack.

Also reread Panetta’s statements again in light of this article (above link) and see if they make more sense.

Article is a real eye-opener and all of WH Administration should still be impeached based on its facts.

You convene the Counterterrorism Security Group only if your objective is to counter terrorism.

What if the attack in Benghazi was a “A Nation/State sponsored attack”! Read http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/50586 for the real hidden truth of the Benghazi attack involving Iran and Russia. Article is a real eye-opener and if these facts are true all of WH Administration should still be impeached.

Reread Panetta’s statements again in light of this article (above link) and see if they make more sense in light of a “Nation/State sponsored attack” against the US.

In addition to failing as CIC, blaming America 1st, this bastard obama put someone in jail for practicing his freedom of speech. This is not to mention the very public arrest this poor man had to endure. Obama and the MSM have much to answer for.

"CBS News has learned that during the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Obama Administration did not convene its top interagency counterterrorism resource: the Counterterrorism Security Group, (CSG). The CSG is the one group that's supposed to know what resources every agency has. They know of multiple options and have the ability to coordinate counterterrorism assets across all the agencies," a high-ranking government official told CBS News. "They were not allowed to do their job. They were not called upon."

Okay. Can someone please tell me why the Department of Homeland Security was created, other than hysteria out of 9/11/01? I thought their mission was to coordinate all intel agencies info so as to eliminate security fiefdoms. That was the worse thing Bush signed into law. It should be eliminated, but of course, once a Fedgov department/agency/EO directive it is always so.

Dreaming...I know.

Today, Friday, there are a number of rallies in Ventura County, CA: ‘Benghazi - Americans Don’t Stand Down.’

Bringing home-made signs, Rep. candidates’ signs, flags.
12 noon to 6pm
It’s quite last minute, but with e-mail - - - we expect good crowds.
Urge any to do this, also.
Could call it for Monday.

Hoping the ‘other side’ doesn’t show up - - - they can take another corner.

Another dead end.......we have no idea who is in jail. He was marched out of his home like a terrorist with a mask on. Where is his lawyer, family, friends. . He was intentionally blamed for setting the ME on fire, killing four americans, it is clear the government lied, no press conferences, no public outrage, we hear nothing.

I think you are correct about this being what Gingrich has been talking about. From the article (GREAT reporting again by Sharyl Attkisson)..
CBS News has agreed not to quote directly from the emails, and to protect the identities of the sources who hold sensitive counterterrorism posts within the State Department, the U.S. military and the Justice Department.
Sounds like elements within State, the Military, and, oddly, DOJ are outing Obama.

from the article

"Counterterrorism officials from two agencies said they concluded almost immediately that the attack was by terrorists and was not spontaneous. "I came to this conclusion as soon as I heard the mortar rounds were impacting on top of the building our people were occupying," says one. "The position of the mortar must be plotted on a map, the target would have to be plotted, computations would be calculated that would result in the proper mortar tube elevation and the correct number of powder bags to be attached to the rounds.""

Obama is a marxist coward by design. He has abandoned Americans and allies all around the world from Honduras and Colombia to Benghazi, Israel, and Taiwan.

He is the new “Quisling”, subverting from within, with the aid of the totally corrupt MSMedia and incompetent political hacks.

Nov. 6th decides whether we will have a free America or not.

CommieCzars versus being one’s own boss.

I agree very much.

Nov. 6th decides whether we will have a free America or not.

Yes, it will in a very important way. It's one thing to have a corrupt rogue gov, it's another thing entirely to have a majority vote of the people approving of a lawless nation. If that lawless commie is re-elected the republic, the Constitution and the concept of the rule of law itself will be nothing more than a pretense. All legitimate basis for those things will cease to exist.

I did? Jennifer Griffin & Catherine Herridge, both are reporters for FoxNews and have been covering this story extensively since it happened. Both should be up for Pulitzers along with Bret Baier, they have not backed down through all of this, now 8 weeks later a couple of other news networks are finally starting to cover it. It will be a big story after the election.
