The secret war behind Benghazi (lot's of good info)
NYPost.com ^ | 2/10/2013 | KYLE SMITH

Obama gave his chief counterterrorism advisor, John Brennan, who is now the nominee to be the next leader of the CIA, a blank check. Brennan could do just about whatever he needed to do in North Africa and the Mideast, contend Murphy and Webb. Brennan chose to conduct a dangerous classified war without looping in Stevens, who paid with his life for his ignorance, according to the book.

The Joint Special Operations Command, which Brennan controls, is a collection of special forces outside of the regular military command originally formed as a hostage-rescue team. But in the middle of last summer, say Murphy and Webb, troops operating clandestinely under JSOC began infiltrating Libya.

“With the first phase of the Global War on Terror (GWOT) all but over,” say Murphy and Webb, “JSOC was starting in on ‘GWOT Season 2,’ as it were, where North Africa was seen as the most dangerous hub of terrorist activity.”

Murphy and Webb go on to make a shocking charge: “The nature of these operations remains highly classified. They were never intended to be known to anyone outside a very small circle in the Special Operations community and within Obama’s National Security Council. Ambassador Stevens, the CIA chief of station in Tripoli and then-director of the CIA, Gen. [David] Petraeus, had little if any knowledge about these JSOC missions.”

The State Department, according to its websites and those of major NGOs like those of Soros, has been funding and organizing the “revolutions” in the mideast for years.

CIA and State leadership are pretty much the same thing, the new world order’s folks.

Billions of tax dollars have gone to NGOs to further goals that State claims are those of the U.S. government, which would be funny if it weren’t so bad.

new world order(tm) - “fomenting rebellions and agitating for a century”.

The new world order keeps its news media in line, however, so they will continue to draw attention away from their masters.

Many of the rebel leaders were sharia-loving members of al Qaeda who had come from jihadist strongholds in the cities of Derna and Benghazi, which are so tied up in Islamist fundamentalism that they were major exporters of guerrilla warriors who fought the US in Iraq.

Will take this sentence one football field further and state that state and defense departments and obama knew the weapons captured in libya would go to turkey then syria via major exporters in libya via islamist fundamentalists who this time had not only guerrilla warriors to export to syria but also weapons.

So what this is saying is that Brennan fudged up and as a reward Obama is making him CIA director.

Sounds about right.

Obama wouldn’t be the first: Wilson had House to do his stuff, and FDR loved to have his own people working outside of channels.

As I said before...this book is full of SERIOUS disinfo. Believe at your own risk. It is designed to so nothing more or less than completely absolve petraeus...who is dirtier than the soles of a wellworn pair of old tennis shoes.
This is not to say that brennan isn't a blackhearted demon, but Benghazi was not his doing.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

None of this explains why 20 to 30 people were supposed to be abandoned and left for dead with American and other friendly assets overhead or nearby. This does multiply the treason though.

Sources: Key task force not convened during Benghazi consulate attack

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."

Meanwhile, 400 miles away, in Tripoli, Woods’ old Navy SEAL buddy Glen Doherty was rounding up the cavalry. The authors say that it’s a “media myth” that the diplomats’ cries for help were denied; in fact, at every stage of the game, aid was vigorous.

Yes, they got aid from within Libya! But they got nothing from outside Libya which would have required the Jug-Eared Skeet Shooter to man-up and issue a CBA along with orders to send a rescue mission.

---------------------------------------------------

Three Facts

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.

--------------------------------------------------------

Panetta says that we just didn't have any resources to mount a rescue. Oh, really?

There is no doubt whatsoever that the assets were in motion preparing to receive an order to go.

How the military preps.

How an embassy rescue works.

Cross Border Authority.

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: My sources tell me Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack video 10-27-2012

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said tonight that his sources tell him that Obama was one of the people in the room watching the Benghazi attack go down and both he and Col. David Hunt agree it would have taken an order by the president to intervene. Further, Col. Hunt said that we were only 20 min away by jet and a couple of hours away by AC-130 gunships and special forces, and the decision not to intervene had to be political.

Obama Blew Off Benghazi After Scheduled Meeting February 7, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified that they spoke to President Barack Obama only once on the evening of the Sept. 11, 2012, when U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya were under attack by terrorists.

Panetta and Dempsey had a pre-scheduled meeting with Obama at 5:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time on Sept. 11. After that they did not speak to Obama and Obama did not speak to them. Neither Panetta nor Dempsey spoke to anyone in the White House that night after their meeting with Obama.
