Rescue Interrupted (Benghazi, Attkisson, video)
Full Measure News ^ | January 10th 2016 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 01/10/2016 8:49:59 PM PST by TigersEye

An email hidden from public view for three years reveals a rescue attempt was interrupted. The military offered to deploy Special Forces to Benghazi during the assault, long before the attackers killed CIA contractors and former Navy Seals Glen Doherty and Ty Woods.

Three and a half hours into the eight-hour long siege, the military's Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash emails top State Department officials: "we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak. They include a SOF [Special Operations Forces] element that was in Croatia."

Just watched this report while reading the Sunday Morning Talk Show thread. Have been convinced all along that a rescue attempt was thwarted by the regime.

This video--as I wrote on the SMTS thread--MUST GO VIRAL!!!!

And God bless Sharyl Attkisson for reporting it!

The Hildabeast’s answer to this is, “No U.S. military could have gotten there in time.”

That is a BS answer, because during the fight, no one knew when it would end.

The Hildabeast’s answer to this is, “No U.S. military could have gotten there in time.”

She is correct. She knew they couldn’t never get there, in time, because she knew they were never allowed to even take off.

Ubama told her that in the 10:PM phone call he made to her.
Then they discussed the Youtube video scam.

I've been posting this since Sept. 2012. Now we have the proof.

Only the POTUS had the authority to act!

0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

There are three scandals here...

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

Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than either of those.

The failure to act during the attack was equivalent to desertion IMO. It was dereliction of duty at the least. ONE man had the authority to act that night. ONE man deserted his post!

EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say

Petreaus and the other generals, all of them, deny this is true. Also, it’s been well over a year, why hasn’t the Benghazi hearing found this out to be true?

Looks like Sharyl Attkisson is the only reporter in the US interested in the truth. Treason is what this is called along with murder, lying under oath, etc. Heads should roll over this. Course they wont unless some special forces folks get POed about this info.

Can only hope the movie, 13 Hours, will make this issue too big to keep buried any longer!
