Cable Warned Consulate Could Not Withstand 'coordinated attack' in Benghazi

Video embedded below.



"The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News.

Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected.

“RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound,” the cable said.

Retired Admeral James Lyons - "Somebody High up in The Administration Made The Decision That no Assistance [In Benghazi] Would be Provided, And Let Our People be Killed"

Some liberal quoting here, so be sure to visit the source and poke around a bit. The American people deserve answers here, and the Obama Administration and most of the Main Stream Media are determined to ensure that any answers they can not suppress only come out after the election.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/28/lyonsobama-needs-come-clean-what-happened-benghazi

"There is an urgent need for full disclosure of what has become the “Benghazi Betrayal and Cover-up.” The Obama national security team, including CIA, DNI and the Pentagon, apparently watched and listened to the assault on the U.S. consulate and cries for help but did nothing. If someone had described a fictional situation with a similar scenario and described our leadership ignoring the pleas for help, I would have said it was not realistic—not in my America – but I would have been proven wrong.

We now know why Ambassador Christopher Stevens had to be in Benghazi the night of 9/11 to meet a Turkish representative, even though he feared for his safety. According to various reports, one of Stevens’ main missions in Libya was to facilitate the transfer of much of Gadhafi’s military equipment, including the deadly SA-7 – portable SAMs – to Islamists and other al Qaeda-affiliated groups fighting the Assad Regime in Syria. In an excellent article, Aaron Klein states that Stevens routinely used our Benghazi consulate (mission) to coordinate the Turkish, Saudi Arabian and Qatari governments’ support for insurgencies throughout the Middle East. Further, according to Egyptian security sources, Stevens played a “central role in recruiting Islamic jihadists to fight the Assad Regime in Syria.”
...
Once the attack commenced at 10:00 p.m. Libyan time (4:00 p.m. EST), we know the mission security staff immediately contacted Washington and our embassy in Tripoli. It now appears the White House, Pentagon, State Department, CIA, NDI, JCS and various other military commands monitored the entire battle in real time via frantic phone calls from our compound and video from an overhead drone. The cries for help and support went unanswered.
...
Having been in a number of similar situations, I know you have to have the courage to do what’s right and take immediate action. Obviously, that courage was lacking for Benghazi. The safety of your personnel always remains paramount. With all the technology and military capability we had in theater, for our leadership to have deliberately ignored the pleas for assistance is not only in incomprehensible, it is un-American.

Somebody high up in the administration made the decision that no assistance (outside our Tripoli embassy) would be provided, and let our people be killed. The person who made that callous decision needs to be brought to light and held accountable. According to a CIA spokesperson, “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need.” We also need to know whether the director of CIA and the director of National Intelligence were facilitators in the fabricated video lie and the overall cover-up. Their creditability is on the line. A congressional committee should be immediately formed to get the facts out to the American people. Nothing less is acceptable.

Facebook Censors Navy SEALs to Protect Obama Regarding the Benghazi Scandal

The picture read, "Obama called the SEALs and THEY got bin Laden. When the SEALs called Obama, THEY GOT DENIED." Head to the source to see it.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/10/30/Facebook-Censors-Navy-SEALS-To-Protect-Obama-on-Benghazi-Gate

"Over the weekend, Facebook took down a message by the Special Operations Speaks PAC (SOS) which highlighted the fact that Obama denied backup to the forces being overrun in Benghazi.

The message was contained in a meme which demonstrated how Obama had relied on the SEALS when he was ready to let them get Osama bin Laden, and how he had turned around and denied them when they called for backup on Sept 11.

I spoke with Larry Ward, president of Political Media, Inc -- the media company that handles SOS postings and media production. Ward was the one who personally put the Navy SEAL meme up, and the one who received the warning from Facebook and an eventual 24 hour suspension from Facebook because Ward put the meme back up after Facebook told him to take it down.

England Thinks a Strike on Iran Would be Illegal And Denies The US Access to Its Bases

Another example of Obama's patented 'Smart Power'...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2012/10/25/the-u-k-thinks-a-strike-on-iran-would-be-illegal-denies-u-s-access-to-its-bases

"The British attorney general has circulated legal advice to the prime minister’s office, Foreign Office and Defense Ministry warning that a preemptive military strike on Iran could violate international law, the Guardian’s Nick Hopkins reports. The existence of this secret document suggests that the U.K. government believes that Iran does not currently meet the legal threshold for a “clear and present danger” that would merit such an attack.

Though Iran’s illegal uranium enrichment is moving it closer to the capability to assemble a nuclear weapon, U.S. intelligence agencies do not believe that Tehran has affirmatively decided to build a bomb. The British legal memo would seem to underscore this view, as well as raise the question of whether Iran would have to cross that line for a military strike to meet the requirements of international law.

The Guardian also reveals that the U.K. is using this legal document to deny the U.S. assistance in contingency planning for a strike on Iran. The U.S. is reportedly asking for access to British airbases that are strategically located on remote islands.

Al Qaeda-Linked Jihadists Helped Incite 9/11 Cairo Protest

The Obama administration claimed that the protests (and in some cases attacks) were just spontaneous, solely because of the video, and having nothing to do with Al Qaeda. We know in Benghazi that story was 100% false, and we now know that it was not true everywhere else as well. It was Al Qaeda linked Jihadists, using the video, to incite the mobs. Before you even think that the fact the Jihadists were using the video means the clip was still somehow at fault, remind yourself that they were inciting people before the clip was ever in the concept phase. These terrorists will use whatever excuse they can. The excuse they use is not at fault, these Jihadists are.

http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2012/10/al_qaeda-linked_jiha.php

"Several al Qaeda-linked jihadists helped incite the protest outside the US embassy in Cairo on Sept. 11. The jihadists include senior members of Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ), a group that merged with al Qaeda, and a senior Gamaa Islamiyya (IG) leader who has longstanding ties to al Qaeda's senior leadership.

Spontaneous anger over an obscure anti-Islam video titled "Innocence of Muslims" has been widely cited as the cause of the embassy protest in Cairo. But clear evidence shows that these al Qaeda-linked jihadists used clips from that film that were televised on Egyptian television as a pretext to incite a mob.

The most conspicuous of these jihadists is Rifai Ahmed Taha Musa, an IG leader who was named as a signatory on al Qaeda's infamous February 1998 fatwa announcing an Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders. The fatwa justified terrorist attacks against American civilians and others. Musa would later disavow his participation in the Islamic Front, but his al Qaeda ties are well established.

US Troop Was 'Painting' a Target in Benghazi

First, an almost overlooked reported fact; a US Troop during the attack in Benghazi was actively 'Painting' a target. The target is said to be the mortar nest that eventually killed him. 'Painting' is basically ground targeting for a weapon system. To effectivly use a laser guided bomb, you have to have someone 'painting' the target with the laser to guide the bomb to the target. The laser, or 'painting' in and of itself, is not a weapon. No one has ever died or been injured from the 'painting' and most never know (that is possibly until the split second before the bomb hits).

Those are the facts, here is the speculation brought up in the video. If I am being shot at and my two choices are to either shoot back with my gun or to 'paint' the target shooting at me, there is only one circumstance which I would even consider 'painting'. That circumstance is if there is something overhead (or very close) which could utilize my target. There is no reason in providing targeting information if there is no one in the area that could possibly use it. If they are even 10 minutes out, there is no reason to stop shooting with my fire arm, a weapon that could actually harm the aggressors. The only reason to ever stop shooting and start painting is if there is a gunship or appropriately armed aircraft circling overhead (or coming in hot). The speculation then becomes that at least one of the two drones watching in real time what was going on was armed. The soldier painted the mortar next for the drone above to drop a munition on, which never happened. It would mean the help was literally a button press away, but someone decided not to press the button.

I am open to other interpretations, but I have not come up with anything else that seems plausible.

Benghazi Heros Tyrone Woods And Glen Doherty Ran Headlong Into Danger Unarmed And Saved 20 Personnel

There really is no more appropriate word for them then heros. They were former SEALs, not in Benghazi to protect the Ambassador, but when they hear Americans crying for help they decided to do what someone high up in the chain of command (or the Obama Administration) was actively blocking, go render aid. They did not have a weapon to speak of and did not care; they would just pick some up along the way. While they were not in time to save the Ambassador, and eventually were forced to sacrifice their lives, they are credited with saving at least 20 others. As I said, in a word; Heros.

On a slightly darker note, intentionally or otherwise, someone hung theses men out to dry. Support would have reached them in time if any of the calls for help were headed. Those calls were rejected, and it is not unreasonable to say that that decision may be the reason these two heros are not around to tell us their stories themselves.

http://scottoncapecod.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/navy-seals-always

"A short distance from the American compound, two Americans were sleeping. They were in Libya as independent contractors working an assignment totally unrelated to our embassy. They also happened to be former Navy SEALs. When they heard the noise coming from the attack on our embassy, as you would expect from highly trained warriors, they ran to the fight. Apparently, they had no weapons, but seeing the Libyan guards dropping their guns in their haste in fleeing the scene, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty snatched up several of these discarded weapons and prepared to defend the American compound.

Not knowing exactly what was taking place, the two SEALs set up a defensive perimeter. Unfortunately Ambassador Stevens was already gravely injured, and Foreign Service officer, Sean Smith, was dead. However, due to their quick action and suppressive fire, twenty administrative personnel in the embassy were able to escape to safety. Eventually, these two courageous men were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers brought against them, an enemy force numbering between 100 to 200 attackers which came in two waves. But the stunning part of the story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force. Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction.

As it became apparent to these selfless heroes, they were definitely going to lose their lives unless some reinforcements showed up in a hurry. As we know now, that was not to be. I’m fairly certain they knew they were going to die in this gun fight, but not before they took a whole lot of bad guys with them!

Latest Benghazi Excuse: Obama Administration Did Not Know that Libya Was Dangerous

White House Denies Obama Denied Calls For Help From Benghazi

So, who made the call?

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-did-not-deny-requests-help-benghazi-aide-182415488--election.html

"The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th.

"Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.

Fox News Channel reported Friday that American officials in the compound repeatedly asked for military help during the assault but were rebuffed by CIA higher-ups. At a press briefing one day earlier, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, asked why there had not been a quicker, more forceful response to the assault, complained of "Monday-morning quarterbacking." Panetta said he and top military commanders had judged it too dangerous to send troops to the eastern Libyan city without a clearer picture of events on the ground.
...
And the CIA has denied that anyone in its chain of command rejected requests for help from the besieged Americans.

But Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol, in a post published Friday, doubted Panetta's explanation and said the fault must lie with Obama himself. "Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No," Kristol wrote. "It would have been a presidential decision."
"

CIA Spokesperson on Cries For Help From Benghazi "No One at Any Level in The CIA Told Anybody Not to Help Those in Need"

If it was not the CIA that refused three separate calls for help during the attack in Benghazi, then who was it?

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/petraeus-throws-obama-under-bus_657896.html

"Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”

So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.

It would have been a presidential decision.

Obama Filibusters Questions on Why Help Was Not Sent to Benghazi

You will note that despite being asked twice Obama never gives an answer. Then Obama starts his filibuster defense (which in fairness is something that many politicians do) trying to run out the clock. That did not stop a few other hard hitting questions from getting thrown at him.

I have new found respect to local media. This has got to be one of the toughest interviews Obama has had in a long time; which is as much condemnation of his other interviews as it is a complement to 9NEWS reporter Kyle Clark. Of course, with Obama opting to to interviewed by "Pimp with a Limp" it is to be expected.

Leon Panetta (Defense Secretary) - 'Benghazi Rescue Mission Ruled Out Because of Lack of Reliable Intelligence'

I have a few problems with this. First, it does not explain why the protection was removed, over the objection of the people working there, before the attack. Second, it does not explain why we were not ready for something, given all of the previous attacks, on 9/11 of all days. Terrorists love anniversaries, and 9/11 is their favorite at that. Third, there were drones above sending real time video and other data during the attack. How much more intelligence do they need? Fourth, that is a bunch of baloney. Obviously you would prefer as much information as possible. When information is not available, there are still people that know how to operate. You can not shut down because of a lack of intel or because your initial intel was skewed. Fifth, and lastly, there are actions that could have been taken with zero intel and almost no risk. A fly over may have been enough to scatter the attackers, especially if you have a gunship circling overhead.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/10/25/no-reliable-intelligence-during-benghazi-attack-u-s

US military leaders ruled out sending in forces during the attack on an American consulate in Libya last month because of a lack of reliable intelligence, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday.

Although forces were on alert and ready to launch an operation if needed, the US military commander for Africa, General Carter Ham, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, and Panetta all decided against any intervention as they had no clear picture of events unfolding in Benghazi, he said.

“There’s a basic principle here, and the basic principle is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on, without having some real-time information about what’s taking place,” Panetta told a news conference.

Hillary on Benghazi Attack - "Posting Something On Facebook Is Not In And Of Itself Evidence"

Ask your lawyer what effect confessing to theft or murder on Facebook would have on your defense.

If she was instead insisting that the Facebook posting does not make it true, that is something I could agree with. It is however suggestive, especially given the timing of the claim.

This 'looking at everything' approach, I am all for that. What I am not for is the concerted effort to ensure that means nothing gets disclosed or revealed until after the election. It also brings back the question of what exactly they were looking at, regarding actual evidence, that led them to so forcefully push the video story.


Video embedded below.



http://hotair.com/archives/2012/10/24/hillary-on-benghazi-just-because-a-jihadist-group-claims-credit-doesnt-make-it-so

"“Posting something on Facebook is not in and of itself evidence,” she says, responding to last night’s e-mail leak about Ansar al-Sharia taking credit for the attack. True enough, but that’s not the only link to AAS. As I reminded you yesterday, intercepts caught members of the group talking to members of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb during and after the attack. Libyan eyewitnesses saw the group’s founder outside the consulate while it was happening; he later admitted to having been there while insisting that he was merely directing traffic. There’s plenty of reason beyond the early claim of responsibility on Facebook to think they were involved, but to watch Hillary here, you’d think the Ansar al-Sharia mention in yesterday’s Reuters bombshell was some sort of false lead based on dubious preliminary intel that had evaporated later as the fog cleared.
...
Whole lotta offended terrorists in Benghazi that night, for some reason:

U.S. intelligence believes that assailants connected to al Qaeda in Iraq were among the core group that attacked the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, a U.S. government official told CNN.

That would represent the second al Qaeda affiliate associated with the deadly September 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

Previously, intelligence officials said there were signs of connections to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the North African wing of the terror group…

According to the official, others in the core group are suspected of having ties to the Libyan group Ansar al-Sharia, and many of them are believed to be Egyptian jihadis.

That’s three separate jihadist outfits participating. According to CNN, there were upwards of 40 attackers in the first wave. Free question for any members of the White House press corps who are reading: What’s Al Qaeda in Iraq doing in Libya?

Congress Rubén Hinojosa (D) Draws a Blank on The Second Amendment

This guy has been a serving congressman for Texas for more then a decade and a half; Texas. I mean come on, not only is this guy a congressman, but he serves for Texas. Did I mention Texas?

http://www.themonitor.com/news/local/article_7352c14c-1e20-11e2-afa1-0019bb30f31a.html

"Asked Wednesday about the Second Amendment, longtime U.S. Rep. Rubén Hinojosa fumbled for an answer.

“There are so many people in Washington who come and talk to us about the Constitution and the rights that they want kept sacred and that not do anything about them. (sic) That we not change them. That we not amend them,” said Hinojosa. “And I can tell you that — I’m drawing a blank on the Second Amendment, but I think it’s the weapons, isn’t it? The NRA?”

Hinojosa recovered after a brief pause, recalling how the 1999 Columbine High School massacre convinced him America needs stronger background checks at weekend gun shows and that he supports more restrictive gun laws.
...
Hinojosa spoke Wednesday at a political debate hosted by the McAllen Rotary Club, which drew about 50 people to the Salvation Army building, 1600 N. 23rd St. The 72-year-old Democrat from Mercedes is running for a ninth term against Republican challenger Dale Brueggemann, a businessman from Seguin.

Obama Administration Refuses to Comment on When Obama Learned of E-Mails Noting Terrorists Had Claimed Responsibility, And When he Met With NSC on Benghazi

As I have said before, they are going to do anything and everything they can to push this until after the election.

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/wh-we-decline-comment-when-obama-learned-e-mails-met-nsc-benghazi

"The White House is declining to say when President Barack Obama first learned of three e-mails that the State Department sent to the White House on Sept. 11, 2012, directly notifying the Executive Office of the President that the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was under attack, that U.S. Amb. Chris Stevens was at the Benghazi mission at the time of the attack, and that the group Ansar al-Sharia had taken credit for the attack.

The White House also declined to say when the president first met with the National Security Council after the Benghazi attack.

“I have been asked by one of our spokespeople to relay ‘that we decline to comment,’” said White House National Security Staff aide Debbie Bird in a written response to CNSNews.com.

CNSNews.com had asked Bird: 1) “When did the President first meet with the National Security Council after the Benghazi attack on 9/11/12?” 2) “When did White House staff first discuss the substance of the e-mails that went to the White House with the President or with the National Security Advisor?”

Interview Shows Obama Downplayed Mob Violence Explanation a Day After The Libya Attack

Why then did he switcher to the video than? It would be nice if someone would ask Obama these questions.

Video embedded below.



"CBS News published the quote online, and it appeared to have aired for the first time on Oct. 19, more than a month after the interview was taped. The video has been available online.

In the interview with "60 Minutes," Obama downplayed the notion the attack was mob violence, as was thought to be the case with a demonstration in Cairo, Egypt.

"You're right that this is not a situation that was exactly the same as what happened in Egypt, and my suspicion is that there are folks involved in this who were looking to target Americans from the start," Obama told CBS News.

On one hand, the comment lines up with the president's Rose Garden remarks that day, when he referred to "acts of terror." However, it also sharply conflicts with what U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice would go on to say four days later on a round of Sunday talk shows, in which she claimed the protest in Cairo helped trigger the "spontaneous" attack in Benghazi.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/263885-paul-ryan-in-this-war-on-poverty-povertys-winning

"GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan on Wednesday said that “poverty’s winning” in America due to the current administration’s policies.

"Upward mobility is the central promise of life in America. But right now, the engines of upward mobility are not running as they should,” the Wisconsin congressman said, speaking at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio. “In this war on poverty, poverty’s winning.”
...
Ryan, in his speech, rejected the idea that Mitt Romney does not have a plan to save entitlement programs, specifically naming Medicare and food stamps. He also directly confronted Obama’s criticism that he and Romney care more about millionaires and billionaires than the middle class or poor people, calling it a “straw man” argument to say that their position is “every man should fend for themselves.”

“The truth is, Mitt Romney and I believe in upward mobility,” he said. “There has to be a balance, allowing government to act for the private good while leaving private groups free to do the work that only they can do. There’s a vast common ground between the government and the individual.”

But over the past five decades, government has spent more money on a “centralized, top-down approach” that by the 1970s created a “debilitating culture of dependency,” Ryan said.

Trump Offers Obama $5 Million to Charity of Obama's Choice For His College And Passport Records

A bit anti-climatic after hyping a game changing October surprise. Still, it will make for a few headlines and help as a solid counter to claims that Romney is a secretive candidate. After all, Obama is being offered $5 Million to throw to a charity for releasing a few of his hidden records; people might ask what is so bad in Obama's transcript and passport records that he would rather keep them secret then give some charity a $5 Million dollar boost.

"After playing up a election-shaking announcement for several days, businessman Donald Trump on Wednesday offered President Obama $5 million to release his college and passport records.

"All he has to do for $5 million to the charity or charities of his choice is get his colleges to immediately give his applications and records and also to release his passport records," Trump said in the announcement. "When he does this to my satisfaction, if it's complete, this check will be sent immediately."

Obama Released a Second Term Agenda Packet

It is rather light, as one would expect from a hastily thrown together agenda with two weeks to go in the election. It looks like both Romney's counter attack has worked, and Obama is realizing his efforts to paint Romney as a person that causes other people to die of cancers is failing.

White House Told Militant Claim Credit for Benghazi Attack Within Two Hours

They must have figured the terrorists were lying and figured that a non-existent mob was really just angry about a video they never saw.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/24/us-usa-benghazi-emails-idUSBRE89N02C20121024

"Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.

The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.

The brief emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack, even as it was still under way, to Washington.

Major Airports to Remove Naked Body Scanners

Removed to speed up security...?

http://www.cnbc.com/id/49517858

"The Transportation Security Administration is removing full-body, X-ray scanners from major U.S. airports, and shipping them to less busy locations.

TSA introduced the so-called Backscatter scanners, sometimes referred to as the "naked" X-ray machines, at U.S. airports in 2009. Many travelers were not happy that naked images of themselves were displayed to TSA officers in a nearby room. In addition to privacy concerns, travelers were concerned about radiation exposure. (Read more: The Skinny on Full-Body Scanners)

The replacement scanning machines offer less invasive, cartoon-like images of passengers. And you can even turn around after passing through the machine to see the same image TSA officer review. (Read more: Less Invasive, 'Gumby' Body Scanners to Debut at Boston Airport)

The full-body, X-ray scanners will be removed from New York's Kennedy, LaGuardia and other major airports, the Associated Press reported. TSA said the decision was made to speed up security at busy airports.

"Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi participated in prayers over the weekend in which the preacher urged Allah to “destroy the Jews and their supporters.”

In footage of the service from Matrouh governorate’s el-Tenaim Mosque screened on Egyptian state television on Friday, Morsi was shown in fervent prayer as cleric Futouh Abd Al-Nabi Mansour, the local head of religious endowment, declared, “Oh Allah, absolve us of our sins, strengthen us, and grant us victory over the infidels. Oh Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, disperse them, rend them asunder. Oh Allah, demonstrate Your might and greatness upon them. Show us Your omnipotence, oh Lord.”

According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Morsi could be seen mouthing “amen” to these sentiments.

Anti-Muslim Filmmaker, Erroneously Blamed For The Benghazi Attack, Still in Jail, Next Court Date 3 Days After The Election

This seems like a serious travesty, not to mention politicization, of justice.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2012/oct/20/picket-anti-muslim-filmmaker-detained-almost-month

"Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the 55-year-old filmmaker responsible for the anti-Muslim video that President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice initially and wrongly blamed for inciting the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, is still being held at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) without bond.

It has been almost one month since Mr. Nakoula was arrested for allegedly violating the terms of his probation for a 2010 bank-fraud conviction. ...

“Nakoula was ordered detained -- held without bond -- by a federal judge, who determined he posed a flight risk,” said Thom Mrozek of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.

Mr. Nakoula’s next court date is on November 9, three days after the presidential election.

Obama Ordered No Military Action in Bengazi While Americans Were Still Alive

It is impossible to know if the order would have helped, but something should have been attempted; especially something as low risk as as an overflight.

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/331125/first-aid-living-bing-west

"A U.S. ambassador is missing and his diplomatic team is desperately fighting off terrorist attacks. Our commander-in-chief and his national-security team in Washington are listening to the phone calls from the Americans under attack and watching real-time video from a drone circling overhead. Yet the U.S. military sends no aid. Why?

On September 11, at about 10 p.m. Libyan time (4 p.m. in Washington), Ambassador Chris Stevens and a small staff were inside our consulate in Benghazi when terrorists attacked. The consulate staff immediately contacted Washington and our embassy in Tripoli. The White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, and numerous military headquarters monitored the entire battle in real time via the phone calls from Benghazi and video from a drone overhead.

Our diplomats fought for seven hours without any aid from outside the country. Four Americans died while the Obama national-security team and our military passively watched and listened. The administration is being criticized for ignoring security needs before the attack and for falsely attributing the assault to a mob. But the most severe failure has gone unnoticed: namely, a failure to aid the living.
...
Fighter jets could have been at Benghazi in an hour; the commandos inside three hours. If the attackers were a mob, as intelligence reported, then an F18 in afterburner, roaring like a lion, would unnerve them. This procedure was applied often in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Conversely, if the attackers were terrorists, then the U.S. commandos would eliminate them. But no forces were dispatched from Sigonella.

Son of State Senator Attacked Defending His Romney Yard Sign

It goes almost without saying, but you know this would be a much bigger story if someone was attacked defending an Obama sign.

http://www.nbc15.com/home/headlines/Son-of-State-Senator-Neal-Kedzie-Attacked-175307881.html

"Here is the statement released by Senator Neal Kedzie:

Early on Friday morning, October 19th, my son Sean was awakened by noises outside his residence in Whitewater. As he went to see what the commotion was about, he noticed an individual removing a Romney/Ryan yard sign from his property. He yelled to the person that they were taking something not theirs and to return it immediately.

The individual returned the sign, however, a second person confronted and attacked Sean without warning.

Sean was wrestled to the ground by both persons, held down by a constricting chokehold, and struck repeatedly about the face and head.

He nearly passed out from the chokehold and suffered contusions to his face and eyes.

Fortunately, an alert neighbor heard the commotion, scared the individuals away, and called the police.

My wife and I were awakened by a telephone call from Sean’s roommate that Sean had been taken by ambulance to Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital.

Presidential Debate #3 Quick Thoughts -> Romney Wins by a Small Margin

I believe Romney won by a slightly better margin than he did in the second debate, but it was still pretty close. Romney did what he had to, show that he could be President. Obama tried to blunt that, but ultimately failed.

I like the back and forth sniping at debates, and there were a few nice shots in both directions at this one, but Obama spent to much time attacking Romney which made it look like he had no good answers himself.

As for the moderator, Bob Schieffer did a pretty good job. There was one point where he prevented Romney from responding to a slew of attacks from Obama pivoting instead to the next question, and given that Obama apparently had more time then Romney overall he could have had that opportunity to respond, but besides those few small gripes the fact that there is not much else to say about the job Schieffer did to me means he did a good job. I think it is also worth noting that while Obama did have more time then Romney, this debate apparently had the most even split of all the debates (including the VP debate).

Obama Campaign Accepted Foreign Web Donation

The real story may not be that the Obama campaign seems to intentionally have more lax standards excepting small donation which makes it much more likely that they will receive illegal foreign contributions (see this other potential fundraising scandal). It may be the request of additional funds which would leave the total under the FCC reporting limit of $200. Why would the Obama campaign specially ask for a donation that leaves them a few dollars below the limit for which they would have to report the identity of the donor?

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/bam_blind_eye_to_illegal_donors_8SWotytr1RvbhyDCRyyrEL

"The Obama re-election campaign has accepted at least one foreign donation in violation of the law — and does nothing to check on the provenance of millions of dollars in other contributions, a watchdog group alleges.

Chris Walker, a British citizen who lives outside London, told The Post he was able to make two $5 donations to President Obama’s campaign this month through its Web site while a similar attempt to give Mitt Romney cash was rejected. It is illegal to knowingly solicit or accept money from foreign citizens.

Walker said he used his actual street address in England but entered Arkansas as his state with the Schenectady, NY, ZIP code of 12345.

"When I did Romney’s, the payment got rejected on the grounds that the address on the card did not match the address that I entered,” he said. “Romney’s Web site wanted the code from the back of card. Barack Obama’s didn’t.”
...
Obama’s re-election campaign took in $130,867 from donors who provided no ZIP codes and $2 million from those with incomplete ZIPs in September.

That same month, Romney’s campaign recorded $2,450 from donors without ZIP codes and $2,500 from those with incomplete ZIPs.

Walker said it should have been clear to the Obama campaign’s computers that his donations came from a computer with a foreign IP address.

The Obama campaign says it “screens all credit-card contributions that originate from a foreign IP address” and requests proof of citizenship if questions arise.

But not only did Walker’s Obama donations go through, but he said he began receiving two to three e-mail solicitations a day to give more. The e-mails asked for $188 or more.

If Walker gave $188, his total contribution to Obama would be $198 — less than the $200 threshold at which campaigns have to identify the donor to the FEC.

Obama Administartion Recalibrating Benghazi Narrative — Again

'Recalibrating' seems more and more every day like a very generous word. More like changing the story again to see if the public 'bites' at this version. Anything they can do to try and push this controversy and/or cover up past the election, they are going to try it. This will 'blow up', and when it does it will blow up huge. The more they try to push for time, the more likely it seems they are afraid Obama will be taking the brunt of it.

I do not think they are going to be able to push this past the election.

http://hotair.com/archives/2012/10/20/obama-admin-recalibrating-benghazi-narrative-again-before-fp-debate

"Since it now appears that the first two presidential debates did very much indeed have a resounding effect on the state of the race, Team O can’t afford to take any chances with Monday’s foreign-policy debate. Unfortunately, the Obama administration’s narrative on the president’s foreign-policy record has long been that all of those drone strikes and the death of Osama bin Laden have vastly deteriorated the strength and coordination of terrorism in the Middle East, and the attacks on the consulate in Benghazi and the death of four Americans on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11 put something of a damper on that narrative.

Now it looks like the White House might be trying to rejigger that narrative yet again align more favorably with President Obama’s self-stated successes, do some damage control on his administration’s incompetent and bungled response to repeated security threats in the region, and may be most particularly looking get any “al Qaeda”-related language out of the Libya story. Fox News reported last night:

The intelligence community on Friday once again modified its assessment of what caused the deadly terror attack last month on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya – returning in part to claims that the violence was in reaction to a protest at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo over an anti-Islam film.

At the same time, the latest assessment acknowledged there was no actual protest in Benghazi at the time of the attack and that “extremist” elements were likely involved. …

The latest assessment appears to fall somewhere between the flawed account U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice gave on Sept. 16 claiming the attack was “spontaneous” and a subsequent revision on Sept. 28 by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper claiming it was a coordinated terror attack.

Then, as Stephen Hayes summarized at the Weekly Standard this morning,

The administration’s new line takes shape in two articles out Saturday, one in the Los Angeles Times and the other by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. The Times piece reports that there is no evidence of an al Qaeda role in the attack. The Ignatius column makes a directly political argument, claiming that “the Romney campaign may have misfired with its suggestion that statements by President Obama and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice about the Benghazi attacks weren’t supported by intelligence, according to documents provided by a senior intelligence official.”

If this is the best the Obama administration can offer in its defense, they’re in trouble. The Times story is almost certainly wrong and the central part of the Ignatius “scoop” isn’t a scoop at all.

As Hayes goes on to point out, this new intelligence claiming that there is no evidence that al Qaeda was involved in the attacks, directly contradicts earlier reports and evidence claiming that al Qaeda and/or affiliates may very well have been involved in the attacks — and either way, none of this gets around the undeniable fact that the Obama administration failed to deal with longstanding security concerns.

Obama Quietly Deletes "Al Qaeda is on The Run" From His Stump Speech

Tacit acknowledgement that Al Qaeda is behind the murder of our Libyan Ambassador or preempting a line of attack Romney (or the moderator) might bring up at the foreign police debate?

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/17/did-the-president-hit-delete-on-his-national-security-stump-speech

"A standard line in the president's stump speech that touts his administration's efforts to target al Qaeda has been missing from recent stops, in the wake of the Libya terror attacks.

"I said we'd refocus on the people who actually attacked us on 9/11, and today al Qaeda is on the run and Osama bin Laden is dead," the president has said.

But at stops in Mt. Vernon, Iowa and Athens, Ohio, the president on Wednesday made no mention of terrorists being "on the run."

"I said we'd focus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11, and we have, and bin Laden is dead," the president told a crowd of mostly students at a rally on the campus of Cornell College.

Ambassador Stevens Warned State Department on The Day he Died About Deterioriating Security in Benghazi

Not just that day either mind you. There are real questions, rather simple questions at that, that the Administration is refusing to answer. Who made the call and why. The apparent cover up after the fact just makes them all look so much worse.

http://hotair.com/archives/2012/10/19/stevens-warned-state-dept-on-day-he-died-about-deterioriating-security-in-benghazi

"Not just on the day he died, mind you. Multiple times before, too. I’m near the point now where I want to abandon the whole “pre-planned attack versus spontaneous protest” line of inquiry just because it’s steering us away from the more important topic of State’s negligence on his security. Besides, we already know, more or less, why Carney and Rice pushed the “spontaneous protest” theory. Ask Saxby Chambliss:

“Talking points distributed by the administration [in the immediate aftermath] are nearly identical to intelligence assessments within hours of the attack, except in one important way: the intelligence judgment that the attackers had ties to al-Qa’ida was excluded from the public points,” [Saxby] Chambliss said in a statement on Friday.

“The administration omitted the known links to al-Qa’ida at almost every opportunity … Whether this was an intentional effort by the administration to downplay the role of terrorist groups, especially al-Qa’ida, is one of the many issues the Senate Intelligence Committee must examine,” Chambliss said.

The guy who got Bin Laden and knocked out Qaddafi didn’t need a storyline in the middle of a campaign about AQ affiliates killing the American ambassador in the heart of the “new Libya.” That’s straightforward, and that’s almost certainly why the “spontaneous protest” theory got traction initially.
...
On Sept. 11 — the day Stevens and three other Americans were killed — the ambassador signed a three-page cable, labeled “sensitive,” in which he noted “growing problems with security” in Benghazi and “growing frustration” on the part of local residents with Libyan police and security forces. These forces the ambassador characterized as “too weak to keep the country secure.”…

Roughly a month earlier, Stevens had signed a two-page cable, also labeled “sensitive,” that he entitled “The Guns of August: Security in Eastern Libya.” Writing on Aug. 8, the ambassador noted that in just a few months’ time, “Benghazi has moved from trepidation to euphoria and back as a series of violent incidents has dominated the political landscape.” He added, “The individual incidents have been organized,” a function of “the security vacuum that a diverse group of independent actors are exploiting for their own purposes.”

“Islamist extremists are able to attack the Red Cross with relative impunity,” Stevens cabled. “What we have seen are not random crimes of opportunity, but rather targeted and discriminate attacks.” His final comment on the two-page document was: “Attackers are unlikely to be deterred until authorities are at least as capable.”…

“Islamic extremism appears to be on the rise in eastern Libya,” the ambassador wrote [on June 25], adding that “the Al-Qaeda flag has been spotted several times flying over government buildings and training facilities …”

"This shouldn't be a race," Clinton said. "The only reason it is, is because Americans are impatient on things not made before yesterday and they don't understand why the economy is not totally hunky-dory again."

CIA Station Chief in Libya Reported to Washington Within 24 Hours That Attack Was Likely Terrorism

For better or worse, when you blame people in the CIA unfairly for something, there tends to be leaks proving otherwise.

I like how they add in the article that 'they are not sure if they were seen' like that is somehow better. In essence what they are saying is that Obama might have been to busy campaigning to be bothered with information on how the first American Ambassador was killing since 1979.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20121019/DA20G2701.html

"The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month's deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam's Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.

It is unclear who, if anyone, saw the cable outside the CIA at that point and how high up in the agency the information went. The Obama administration maintained publicly for a week that the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a result of the mobs that staged less-deadly protests across the Muslim world around the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the U.S.

Those statements have become highly charged political fodder as the presidential election approaches. A Republican-led House committee questioned State Department officials for hours about what GOP lawmakers said was lax security at the consulate, given the growth of extremist Islamic militants in North Africa.

"The chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee singled out President Obama's top intelligence adviser for the mixed messages on last month's attack in Libya. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Wednesday told the local CBS station in San Francisco that Obama initially called the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three Americans an “act of terror” in the days after the Sept. 11 assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. She suggested the administration initially linked the attack to an anti-Islam video based on the assessment of Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Clapper — a “very good individual” according to Feinstein — “put out some speaking points on the initial intelligence assessment,” she said. “I think that was possibly a mistake.”"

"Obama really wants you to know he's prepared -- nay, eager -- to make another Gutsy Call (TM).

The White House has put special operations strike forces on standby and moved drones into the skies above Africa, ready to strike militant targets from Libya to Mali — if investigators can find the Al Qaeda-linked group responsible for the death of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya. ...
Details on the administration's position and on its search for a possible target were provided by three current and one former administration official, as well as an analyst who was approached by the White House for help. All four spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the high-level debates publicly.

Um, I think they are so authorized, and are claiming otherwise.

But when it comes to the politically unhelpful details of the Libya debacle-- notice how they all know how to avoid the press.

State Department Hasn't Ruled Out Role of Anti-Islam Clip in Libya Strike

Seriously...

Video embedded below.



"The State Department has not ruled out the possibility that the deadly terrorist attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, were motivated by an anti-Islamic video, despite a growing chorus of criticism over the Obama administration's initial claims that the violence was a "spontaneous" outgrowth of a protest over the video.
