Brig. Gen. Robert Lovell (Ret.) Benghazi: ‘This Was No Demonstration Gone Terribly Awry” (Video)
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 1 ,2014 | Jim Hoft

Brigadier General Robert Lovell, U.S. Air Force (Retired) told the House Oversight Committee today, under oath, that the military knew immediately Benghazi was terrorist attack and not a “protest gone awry.” Brigadier General Robert W. Lovell served as Deputy Director for Intelligence and Knowledge Development Directorate, United States Africa Command in the discharge of all Intelligence and Counterintelligence responsibilities as assigned by the Unified Command Plan.

“Nor did we completely understand what we had in front of us, be it kidnapping, rescue, recovery, protracted hostile engagement, or any or all the above. But, what we did know quite early on was that this was a hostile action. This was not demonstration gone terrible awry. To the point of what happened, the facts led to the conclusion of a terrorist attack. The Africom J2 was focused on attribution. The attacks became attributable very soon after the event.”

Did you see Rep Cummings (D) opening statement? He talked about LIBYA and not about the happenings in Benghazi. That means the Democrats have given up on Benghazi and are instead trying to protect Hillary and Obama from treason charges concerning their actions in Libya. BIG NEWS!

The republicans did nothing to stop obama’s lies and deceit. Mitt had a debate with obama right after 4 Americans were killed... and he did not confront obama nor did he pursue it afterwards.

Evil will triumph when allowed to. And there are way too many people who will believe the media, who are as guilty as anything else.

And so here we are... it could have had a better ending than this.

This whole thing is surreal. Not one person has taken a fall over this and the whole media complex is covering this up. The Benghazi survivors are still being kept under wraps. All of this to keep baraq in power.

scary stuff

Here the deal you have to understand how politicians and lawyers think..particularly on the left
When this happen at the moment it happen..Obama and his people didn't want to be terrorist attack...then want it to be a demonstration. .so there thought what they wish to think...so no matter how absurd it might be they can and will say ..it was not a terrorist attack and / or WE didnt think it was a terrorist attack...

See remember good intentions is ever thing on the left not the facts or truth and your failure to see obvious facts or truth.

You are judge on the left by the intention of your actions..if you act on a fairly tail you tell your self you still good.
You can still say with a straight face ..we thought it was a demonstration so we did not lie and acted correctly ..
See ever criticism of people on the left is Monday morning Quarterbacking in their thinking..they can throw crazy hail Mary bombs all day go 0 for 50 with 50 interception ..and they will still justify it the next day with I thought it so it was a good thing to try and do it

"scary stuff"

Yes, at best there is an unspoken conspiracy to cover something up, between the WH and the media.

I SUSPECT the big revelation that will emerge one day far into the future is that military commanders were seeking auth to cross into Lybia to help, but nobody could find the POTUS to obtain the auth.

That's why there was such concerted effort to cover this up.

The Benghazi survivors are still being kept under wraps.

And this fact doesn't alert the media to what is going on? Unbelievable.

I hate to tell you this, but that little caper would not be happening in any other democracy on earth. The government would have been replaced, period.

Nope. They could find him, he just said no.

You give Obama too much credit. The truth is even worse.

The utter contempt for the American voter that the Obama Administration has demonstrated, is only outdone by the disgrace of lying to the parents of those four fallen Americans, saying it was the result of an internet video. They lied to save the president’s election.
