Former CIA Officer: Obama Administration let Ambassador Stevens die
Monday, Oct 22, 2012

Part 2 of the interview is below. Scroll down for Part 1

Glenn invited Clare Lopez, a former CIA officer, onto his TV show Monday night to discuss the attack on the U.S. embassy on Benghazi.
Lopez has written extensively on the situation in Libya, as well as on Ambassador Stevens’s connections to jihadist groups in Libya and Syria.

“What went on in Benghazi had it’s roots much further back,” Lopez told Glenn.

Lopez believed, much as Glenn does, that Ambassador Stevens was in Lybia for reasons still not known publicly to the American people.

“It was to act as official U.S. government liaison to Al Queda linked jihadist militias.
And they would include some of the same people now trying to overthrow Assad in Syria,” Lopez said.

She wrote of the events:


During the 2011 Libyan revolt against Muammar Qaddafi, reckless U.S. policy flung American forces and money into the conflict on the side of the rebels, who were known at the time to include Al Qaeda elements.
Previously the number two official at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Christopher Stevens was named as the official U.S. liaison to the Libyan opposition in March, 2011.

Stevens was tasked with helping to coordinate U.S. assistance to the rebels, whose top military commander, Abdelhakim Belhadj, was the leader of the Al Qaeda affiliate, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG).
That means that Stevens was authorized by the U.S. Department of State and the Obama administration to aid and abet individuals and groups

that were, at a minimum, allied ideologically with Al Qaeda, the jihadist terrorist organization that attacked the homeland on the first 9/11,
the one that’s not supposed to exist anymore after the killing of its leader, Osama bin Laden, on May 2, 2011.

Lopez, who was a CIA officer for twenty years, told Glenn that she had seen agents come under heavy fire in the past,
but there were always people and assets who assembled to come to their aid.
She found it unusual that with all the surveillance the White House and the administration had on the embassy that more was not done to provide aid.

“I have never seen a situation where a facility was under attack like that and nothing happens.”

Lopez added that Stevens knew he was a potential Al Queda target and lacked the security he needed to be in the country.
Requests for increased security were denied by the State Department prior to the attacks on September 11th.

She also said it was her opinion  that James Clapper, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and General David Petraeus are all aware of what really happened in Libya.

“This has to be brought out.
This has to be made known to the public.
That this is going on and that our administration was not only working with the bad guys.
Was working with Al Queda linked militas and jiihadis to overthrow Assad in Syria
but that they let our mission go down.
They let our ambassador and others die.
In real time, watching it happen, and they didn’t do anything about it,” Lopez said.

Now just where did I read (?)

"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States,
levies war against them
or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere,

is guilty of
_______ [darn, I can't remember the word, can you? ]

and shall suffer death,
or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000;
and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

“Obama Administration let Ambassador Stevens die.”

If the simplest answer tends to be the correct one, I think that’s exactly what we have here.

[Yosemitest]

Didn't our Heavenly Father, through our Savior tell us...

" thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother."

How well we deserve this curse (~so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things~) God has given us,
through the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF, the FASCIST Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama II IS a Muslim.
His actions prove it.
To believe Barack Hussein Obama II, when he claims to be a Christian, is to trust Satan.
Muslims are well know for lying about their faith.

MUSLIMS are allowed to LIE and deceive NON MUSLIMS, if it benefits or protects ISLAM.
Qur'an (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.

Qur'an (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves."

Qur'an (9:3) - "...Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters..." The dissolution of oaths with the pagans who remained at Mecca following its capture. They did nothing wrong, but were evicted anyway.

Qur'an (40:28) - A man is introduced as a believer, but one who must "hide his faith" among those who are not believers.

Qur'an (2:225) - "Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts"

Qur'an (66:2) - "Allah has already ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your oaths"

Qur'an (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which literally means deceit. If Allah is deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same. (See also 8:30 and 10:21)

Taken collectively these verses are interpreted to mean that there are circumstances when a Muslim may be "compelled" to deceive others for a greater purpose.

Intellectual honesty compels us to deal with the possibility that last night's debate was free of contention about Benghazi because there is, as Glenn Beck intimates, more to the fiasco than we know but Romney knows because he has been briefed.

I do not advocate this position I simply say that it is possible that Romney as a patriotic gesture backed off from Benghazi because there are secrets that must remain undisclosed. I would assume the secrets are not damaging to Obama, but who knows? If they are damaging to Obama, Romney is behaving patriotically by refraining from bringing the matter up because they could lead to further information which damages the country or our operatives.

If this is the case, and again I must say that I am not advocating that it is, it might be that my inferences expressed here about Romney's behavior in the debate to the effect that his internals tell him that he enjoys substantial leads might be misplaced.

[USNBandit]

It is a two part problem.

First, State is being run by people that don't understand how the real world works. Libya right now is a lot like the era of the Barbary Pirates, minus the stability and order. When everybody else is pulling out of Benghazi because the neighborhood is becoming too dangerous, we decided to not only stay, but reduce our security force in an effort to "normalize" our consulate appearance. WTF.

The second issue was the President's inaction when the consulate came under attack. Had all the staff been able to escape the consulate then no immediate response would have been okay, still sending the wrong message. When we knew those people were not safe, especially when the annex came under attack, we should have done something. There are two reasons Obama chose to do nothing. The first was his misplaced respect of the sovereignty of a disorganized state. The second was he was afraid of the political fallout. 9 hour battle and no response. A complete failure.

The United West, a group led by Tom Trento, held a seminar on the threat to the United States by Islamists, specifically, the Muslim Brotherhood, with a series of sessions led by Tom Trento and John Guandolo, former Marine and FBI Agent of 12 years.

This is an excellent series. This video is approximately 2 hours long. There are two more videos to follow. COPY this video and distribute it to all your church members, friends and family.

[Candor7]

Clare Lopez is the real deal, and the fact is Obama wants Al Qaeda to unseat Assad in Syria, and then Obama thinks he can co-opt Al Qaeda from Iran, supposedly, into the US sphere of influence? WA-HO!

NOT LIKELY.

Obama is enabling the enemy.Obama let Stevens die because Stevens failed in being kidnapped by the friendly freedom fighters ( sic) so that the Blind Sheik would be released from GITMO in exchange for Steven’s return, creating a supposed electoral bounce for Obama.Stevens failed in that because he allowed 2 ex Navy Seals and 2 CIA agents, whose presence was unexpected, defend the Benghazi compound for 6 hours and kill some Al Qaeda militants who were in on the Obama grift/sting, several of whom were likely GAY Chris Stevens paramours.Al Qaeda assumed a double cross and destroyed the compound. Obama tried to cover it all up by saying it was a spontaneous riot caused by a video.

Obama is deep into the pockets of the jihadist Umma in North Africa and the Middle East, and he is NOT a trustworthy president. He is treasonous.

[equaviator]

In the eyes of the Obamastration, Stevens was expendable. He died because his life was deemed less important than the re-election campaign’s strategy.

[GOPJ]

She also said it was her opinion that James Clapper, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and General David Petraeus are all aware of what really happened in Libya.

Has this turned into a treason or criminal investigation? It appears these men - the ambassador and Seals protecting him - were essentially murdered by the United States government. I suspect that's why Romney steered clear of commenting during the debate - possible ongoing investigation...

If the boys at the New York Times didn't live on their knees - waiting for Obama or stand over them - we might get to the bottom of this... and no, not the way the Times boys are thinking of 'getting to the bottom'... the old school way - where journalists acted like journalists...

[gnarledmaw]

"If the simplest answer tends to be the correct one...."

Maybe too easy. A friend of mine makes a pretty good arguement that the only reason to accept the political risk of openly supporting AQ would be for a big payoff.

That the ony reason to risk Americans finding out that they sat by and watched events unfold without reacting with any of the resources we had available would be for a big payoff.

What payoff would be worth that risk during an election year? All the accolades from media for repatriating a "kidnapped" ambassador.

Either the AQ detachment leader lost control of his cultists bloodlust, the AQ command couldnt resist sticking Allahs thumb in the Great Satans eye and went back on the deal, or the wrong moon baboons got into the embassy first.

[Yosemitest]

I realize that your comment was made before Rush's radio show today, and Rush covered the logic of Romney's lack of defense it yesterday's debate.
And I don't haver Glenn Beck's "theBlazeTV", yet. I have to get him where I can, mostly youtube.com.
But I do not share Romney's sense of refraining from the matter.
As retired military myself, I've seen the damage of "keeping secrets" about bad leaders.
Obama is EVIL, pure and simple.
Have you seen Glenn Beck with Trevor Loudon & his book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".

Watch it, then watch the 29 minute 13 seconds video Trevor Loudon- An Urgent (and chilling) Message for America.


Romney needs to remember General Nathan Bedford Forrest required only one:

"get there firstest with the mostest".

[Yosemitest]

Thanks, I’ll try to watch them, soon.

[Yosemitest]

Read comment #1.
You win the cupid-doll.

[Yosemitest]

That's needs to be attached to every article on the internet.
Take it to DU and drive them off the deep end.

[RaceBannon]

The trento videos are about 2 hours long each

[nathanbedford]

I could not agree with you more more or more deeply share your desire to see Barak Obama exposed for the evil that he is and to see him utterly repudiated by the nation as a sign that we are turning our face away from the Marxist siren.

I have posted that I want Romney to lead a crusade but he insists on leading a campaign. Therefore, I have to constantly remind myself of what John F. Kennedy in a rare fit of candor said, "first you gotta win."

It is quite apparent that Romney has made a judgment that he should attack Obama not as a Marxist but as an incompetent. Similarly, in the debate last night he made a judgment that the potential reward did not justify the risk of confronting Obama on foreign policy issues but the prudent course was to stick to the need to show himself as being a plausible commander-in-chief. He was campaigning not crusading. In that I believe he succeeded.

I also believe the culture trumps politics and that is why I have for so many years on these threads been exploring the danger posed to our constitutional system and to a conservative way of life by the culture worms of The Frankfurt School, Cloward and Pivin, and Saul Alinsky.

As a candidate, Romney is saying my first responsibility is to get elected. My question is, what will he say as president? I am prepared to give him some leeway now to get elected but I have already posted that 48 hours after his election (I want to give him a chance to savor his victory) we conservatives had better start laying down the law to him.

Allow me to close on an anecdote. As a student in 1964 I fervently supported Barry Goldwater and attended a rally. On the way into the rally we noticed a host of people who could not gain entrance because they did not have tickets but they were enthusiastic supporters as well. After the rally I turned on the 11 o'clock news at home and was absolutely astonished to see, contrary to the evidence of my own eyes, that the supporters of Barry Goldwater had been transformed through the magic of television into protesters against him. I have never forgotten that incident.

Romney knows that if he gives the media an opening they will destroy him.

I have almost no insecurity about Romney's courage but I am skeptical of his philosophy. It remains to be seen whether he has real conservative instincts in his body. I think he has the intellectual and moral courage to carry out whatever philosophy he does have, an inference I draw from his biography (not his political biographie as much) and from his faith. We shall see.

Thank you for the heads-up about Trevor Loudon I have looked at the videos and other videos as well with great interest. I buy the communism connections completely, I do not dismiss them as tinfoil hat stuff, I believe they constitute a mortal peril for the Republic, I think they explained entirely the career of Barack Obama and the present condition of the George Soros dominated Democrat party.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

My question is, what will he say as president?

If he doesn't get a Republican House and Senate...it don't mean naw-thin.

[Yosemitest]

… " first you gotta win. "

Touché.
The "incompetent" attack may be partly accurate, but I don't buy his logic.
Obama may be feigning "incompetence," thinking he's too sly, being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" since his mentoring was from Fabian Fascism..

Romney's an "Establishment Republican" and he's not going to listen to the Conservatives.
To go as far as he has in business and be as successful as he's been, he has to be a natural born politician.
And I'll admit that he's a religious man, who trys to follow God's laws as he sees them.

"we conservatives had better start laying down the law to him."

Romney's not going to listen to us. He's going to continue to play us like pawns.
And the best we can hope for is to replace him ASAP.

"After the rally I turned on the 11 o'clock news at home and was absolutely astonished to see, contrary to the evidence of my own eyes,
that the supporters of Barry Goldwater had been transformed through the magic of television into protesters against him. "

I understand, you can NEVER trust the media.
The LAME Stream Media walks

" … in trespasses and sins; wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature
the children of wrath, even as others. "

Thank you for your sincerely thought out commentary.
I'm a student of the early to mid 70s, and I appreciate your experience and observations.

[Yosemitest]

Not just for you, but for all.

Military Scramble Order Overseas
First, I've got over 26 years working in military control towers, most of them as the watch supervisor/crew chief on duty.
Scrambling aircraft to respond to urgent situations normally starts at the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The scramble order comes down through a secured phone call on a direct line.
In the attack on the U.S. embassy on Benghazi, the drone control would have been from MacDill AFB, FL, by U.S. Central Command, and would have been in direct contact, or maybe even remote control to the situation room in the White House.
Watch this 4 minute 48 second video Inside the Situation Room.
The pResident SHOULD HAVE issued to order to scramble fighters to Benghazi, to get there in minimum time.
Then he SHOULD HAVE issued a second order scrambling AC-130 gunships to respond to Benghazi, and have them stand by for more orders.

This should have been controlled by the pResident, who should have monitored and responded with guidance from his Situation Room,

staffed by men and women from the Department of Homeland Security, the intelligence community, and the military,
all of whom are committed to ensuring that the President of the United States is provided all the information and intelligence he needs to do his job.
