BREAKING: CIA Requested Help During Benghazi Battle, Were Denied Three Times (Updated)

by Bryan Preston

Fox’s Jennifer Griffin deserves a Pulitzer for the work she is doing to uncover what really happened during and after the assault at Benghazi. In her latest blockbuster, she reports on how American personnel were left without aid during the battle.

Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that three urgent requests from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack nearly seven hours later were denied by officials in the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators to “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

Former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were part of a small team who were at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. Consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When they heard the shots fired, they radioed to inform their higher-ups to tell them what they were hearing. They were told to “stand down,” according to sources familiar with the exchange. An hour later, they called again to headquarters and were again told to “stand down.”

Who gave those stand-down orders? Was the CIA director, Gen. David Petraeus, aware of them? Did he approve them? Who specifically took any part on this decision?

Did Obama Watch While They Fought for their Lives?

By Karin McQuill

 

They fought for their lives for seven hours. 9/11/ 2012. Benghazi. The White House watched. No help was sent and they died.

 

Four Americans died in the jihadi attack on our consulate in Benghazi. Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, two retired SEALS who were working as civilian security specialists in Benghazi, learned that Ambassador Stevens and nine other people at the consulate were under attack and rushed to their defense. The fourth man was Sean Smith, father of three, an Air Force veteran, working for the State Department in Libya.

TheWhite House, the Pentagon, the State Department, and our military monitored the battle in real time starting with the first phone calls directly from Benghazi.

A small military force from Tripoli was dispatched and was able to rescue some personnel hiding in other buildings. Ambassador Stevens remained missing, as did these three men. The fire-fight raged on.

The shocking news of October 22 was that a drone ordered in from Tripoli sent back images of the attack in real time. The battle was sent on streaming video direct to the Situation Room in the White House. Within two hours, emails from Benghazi reported that Al Qaeda in Libya was claiming responsibility.
 
President Obama, our Commander-in-Chief, had military options available to try and save our men. He could have had the drone armed with Hellfire missiles. He could have scrambled fighter jets from Sicily to drive off the attackers. He could have dropped in Special Forces. He had seven hours to take action.
He did nothing. Doherty and Woods died in the last hour of the attack.

Update:  Video: Obama ducks questions on why help wasn’t sent to Benghazi

Seals left to die in Benghazi...

They were on the roof of that building with that machine-gun for seven hours thinking somebody was coming to rescue them... and nobody came.

The real reason behind Benghazigate

Was Obama gun-walking arms to jihadists?

By Frank J. Gaffney Jr.

President Obama’s once seemingly unstoppable march toward re-election hit what he might call “bumps in the road” in Benghazi, Libya, late on Sept. 11, 2012. It might be more accurate to describe the effect of the well-planned and -executed, military-style attack on a diplomatic facility there as the political equivalent of a devastating improvised explosive device on the myth of the unassailability of the Obama record as commander in chief.

Thanks to intrepid investigative reporting — notably by Bret Baier and Catherine Herridge at Fox News, Aaron Klein at WND.com and Clare Lopez at RadicalIslam.org — and information developed by congressional investigators, the mystery is beginning to unravel with regard to what happened that night and the reason for the subsequent, clumsy official cover-up now known as Benghazigate.

Back in the EUSSR

door Thomas Lifson

De Europese Unie, die onlangs de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede heeft gewonnen, heeft zichzelf net in de kaart laten kijken en heeft onbewust haar ware aard verraden. De Unie, die de macht concentreert in de handen van een ongekozen bureaucratie, terwijl ze intussen voor de vorm een parlement kiest, heeft een reclameposter die de ware aard van het beest laat zien.

Daniel Hannan van de Telegraph in het VK ontdekte de belediging:

 

Hij schrijft:

Kijk eens goed naar deze reclameposter. Valt u iets op? Naast de symbolen voor het christendom, judaïsme, jaïnisme enzovoort staat een van de meest verdorven emblemen die de mens ooit heeft bedacht: de hamer en sikkel.

Drie generaties lang betekende het symbool van de sovjetrevolutie armoede, slavernij, foltering en de dood. Het sierde de petten van de cheka's die 's nachts kwamen. Het werd getoond aan het begin en het einde van de propagandafilms die de hongersnoden verborgen hielden. Het kondigde de volksgerechten aan waar de slachtoffers van zuiveringsacties en schijnprocessen werden veroordeeld. Het wapperde boven de heropvoedingskampen en de goelags. Voor honderden miljoenen Europeanen was het een symbool van de vreemde bezetting. Hongarije, Litouwen en Moldova hebben het gebruik ervan verboden, en diverse vroegere communistische landen willen dat er op dezelfde manier mee wordt omgegaan als met de insignia van de nazi's.

Je moet je afvragen waarom de swastika op de poster ontbreekt. Die staat symbool voor een Europese ideologische innovatie die absoluut te vergelijken is met de hamer en de sikkel. Let op dat de hamer en sikkel bovenop de ster staat. Mocht u denken dat dat toeval is, hou dan eens op uzelf voor de gek te houden.

Communisten in Europa en elders, de Verenigde Staten niet uitgesloten, hebben zich niet officieel overgegeven toen de Sovjetunie en de Oost-Europese communistische landen hun geloof opgaven. Ze zijn gewoon doorgegaan met zich overal ter wereld in de politieke, culturele, educatieve en communicatie-infrastructuren in te graven.

Obama, Oy Vey! American Jews Finally Have Had Enough

By Stella Paul

"Two Jews, three opinions" goes the famous joke. And every day, more of those opinions turn pro-Romney, as American Jews increasingly reject the collapsing presidency of Barack Hussein Obama.

Romney's surging poll numbers in the crucial state of Florida reflect his growing success with Bubbie Molly and her unemployed grandson Adam, who both thought their right hand would wither if it ever pulled the lever for a Republican.

The signs and portents are everywhere, beginning with the special election of a Republican in Anthony Weiner's heavily Jewish, New York congressional district one year ago. Now a startling new poll even has Romney performing the ultimate miracle: the parting of the blue states, winning the Jewish vote by a healthy 44% to 40%!

Who’s ‘Politicizing’ Benghazi?

By Mark Steyn

"The entire reason that this has become the political topic it is is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.”

Thus, Stephanie Cutter, President Obama’s deputy campaign manager, speaking on CNN about an armed attack on the 9/11 anniversary that left a U.S. consulate a smoking ruin and killed four diplomatic staff, including the first American ambassador to be murdered in a third of a century. To discuss this event is apparently to “politicize” it and to distract from the real issues the American people are concerned about. For example, Obama spokesperson Jen Psaki, speaking on board Air Force One on Thursday: “There’s only one candidate in this race who is going to continue to fight for Big Bird and Elmo, and he is riding on this plane.”

She’s right! The United States is the first nation in history whose democracy has evolved to the point where its leader is provided with a wide-body transatlantic jet in order to campaign on the vital issue of public funding for sock puppets. Sure, Caligula put his horse in the senate, but it was a real horse. At Ohio State University, the rapper will.i.am introduced the president by playing the Sesame Street theme tune, which oddly enough seems more apt presidential-walk-on music for the Obama era than “Hail to the Chief.”

Enough with Affirmative Action Presidents

By Neil Snyder

I taught at the University of Virginia for 25 years. During my time at UVA, I had three deans, and one of them was a black woman and an affirmative action hire. She turned out to be a disaster. Although the president made a mistake when he hired her, the full professors in my school made up their minds to do their best to help her out because it was in our school's interest for her to succeed. Regrettably, we couldn't help her because she wouldn't listen.

 

Consider this example: in her first year as dean, I chaired the Appointment, Promotion, and Tenure (APT) Committee. The committee's chairmanship rotated among the full professors, and as fate would have it, it was my turn to chair the committee during her first year. Our new dean arrived in July, a couple of months before school started, and she called me at home one evening in August to tell me that she wanted to promote a particular female associate professor to full professor. The candidate she had in mind wasn't ready for promotion because her academic record wasn't good enough. That's exactly what I told the dean, but it didn't matter. She had made up her mind, and she naively expected me to follow orders. If she had had experience in academia, she would not have been so foolish.

Saving Big Bird

 

To the rescue! Evil Mitt Romney wants to kill Big Bird!

 

Big Bird - Obama for America TV Ad

 

“From 2003 to 2006, ‘Sesame Street’ made more than $211 million from toy and consumer product sales.”
Jim DeMint on Wednesday, February 16th, 2011 in a blog post

Yet, Barack Hussein Obama wants to keep borrowing from the Chinese to subsidize a program that can easily fund itself. Smart power!

Here is what Mark Steyn has to say about it: Will Big Bird ever leave the government nest?

Update: The Republican National Committee points out that in the last few days, Obama has mentioned Big Bird eight times, and Elmo five--and Libya not at all.

Claim: Obama campaign illegally solicited foreign donors via social media website

President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign has been soliciting foreigners for donations, an explosive report from the conservative Government Accountability Institute (GAI) shows. Those foreign donors are allegedly visiting the Obama campaign’s donation solicitation Web pages through a social media website the campaign controls, and through an outside website that serves mostly Internet users from outside the United States.

About 20 percent of visitors to the “my.barackobama.com” social media website “originated from foreign locations,” the report found. That Web address is owned and controlled by the Obama re-election campaign.
“At no point during the [website's] subscription process is a visitor asked whether he or she can legally donate to a U.S. election,” GAI notes.

Obama's Poor Debate: The Affirmative Action President Exposed

Lloyd Marcus

If I were a part of the brain-dead, racist herd of African-Americans who voted for Obama solely because he is black and celebrated him winning the presidency, I would feel pretty betrayed and embarrassed by Obama's debate performance. I mean, after all, we were told by the MSM and the left that Obama was all that and a bag of chips -- the smartest man on the planet, a messiah, the one!

 

As it were, I am an unhyphenated American who happens to be black. I did not drink the left's racially sweetened Kool-Aid and vote for Obama. Upon studying the content of his character and comments he made to Joe the Plumber, I knew that Obama was the wrong man, black or white, for America.

So all you blacks who voted for Obama should feel pretty betrayed. The left submitted a far-left racial empty suit for your "first black president," and you fell for it. From the very beginning, the mainstream media exempted Obama from the usual vetting process of candidates seeking to be president of the United States. To this day, after four years into his reign of terror, we still know very little about this man.

IKEA goes sharia

President of the Future



Unfortunately the rest of us have to live in Obama’s present.

 

By Mark Steyn

 

One of the reasons why Barack Obama is regarded as the greatest orator of our age is that he’s always banging on about some other age yet to come — e.g., the Future! A future of whose contours he is remarkably certain and boundlessly confident: The future will belong to nations that invest in education because the children are our future, but the future will not belong to nations that do not invest in green-energy projects because solar-powered prompters are our future, and most of all the future will belong to people who look back at the Obama era and marvel that there was a courageous far-sighted man willing to take on the tough task of slowing the rise of the oceans because the future will belong to people on viable land masses. This futuristic shtick is a cheap’n’cheesy rhetorical device (I speak as the author of a book called “After America,” whose title is less futuristic than you might think) but it seems to play well with the impressionable Obammysoxers of the press corps.

 

And so it was with President Obama’s usual visionary, inspiring, historic, etc., address to the U.N. General Assembly the other day: “The future must not belong to those who bully women,” he told the world, in a reference either to Egyptian clitoridectomists or the Republican party, according to taste. “The future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians,” he added. You mean those Muslim guys? Whoa, don’t jump to conclusions. “The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam,” he declared, introducing to U.S. jurisprudence the novel concept of being able to slander a bloke who’s been dead for getting on a millennium and a half now. If I understand correctly the cumulative vision of the speech, the future will belong to gay feminist ecumenical Muslims. You can take that to the bank. But make no mistake, as he would say, and in fact did: “We face a choice between the promise of the future or the prisons of the past, and we cannot afford to get it wrong.” Because if we do, we could spend our future living in the prisons of the past, which we forgot to demolish in the present for breach of wheelchair-accessibility codes.

The Leader of the Free World Apologises for American Constitutional Right to Free Speech

 

Dhimmi's in action

The Terrorists’ Veto

Michael J. Totten

 

Around the world, a campaign of religious intimidation and murder intensifies.

 

20 September 2012

 

Using riots, mayhem, and murder to “protest” an asinine trailer for an anti-Mohammad video on the Internet, the Middle East’s mobs, assassins, and hostile regimes have vetoed freedom of speech in the United States. Not only did America’s overseas diplomatic officers and staff have to hunker down under siege for a week, individual citizens here at home have good reason to fear that if they criticize the wrong religion, the response could be catastrophic for themselves, for others, or both. Neither the First Amendment nor the United States government, it seems, can do much about it.

I’ve seen this sort of thing before in another context. In the wake of the Beirut Spring in 2005, when massive demonstrations forced the end of Syria’s military occupation, Lebanon had decent provisions for freedom of speech—at least by regional standards and at least on paper. The country was theoretically free. But free speech was extra-legally and extra-judicially nullified by terrorists backed by a foreign police state. A wave of car bombs targeted journalists, activists, and officials critical of Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad. Everyone needed to watch what he said. Those who didn’t might be killed.

Update: Hier nog een oen die zo nodig een duit in het zakje moet doen:  Ban Ki Moon

“Freedoms of expression should be and must be guaranteed and protected, when they are used for common justice, common purpose,” Ban told a news conference.
“When some people use this freedom of expression to provoke or humiliate some others’ values and beliefs, then this cannot be protected in such a way.”
“My position is that freedom of expression, while it is a fundamental right and privilege, should not be abused by such people, by such a disgraceful and shameful act,” he said.

 De uitspraken van dit soort politiek geteisem is een klap in het gezicht van iedere man, vrouw en kind die ooit op Europese bodem zijn leven heeft gelaten voor onze vrijheid en onafhankelijkheid.

Godsdienstvrijheid is heilig dus wint de sharia

Stel, er is een conflict tussen de sharia en het recht van Nederland. Bijvoorbeeld over hoe iemand gekleed moet zijn, hoe het voedsel moet worden toebereid, hoe dieren moeten worden geslacht, wat er in het onderwijs als leerstof wordt aangeboden, of iemand een pakje papier met letters erop mag verbranden, of iemand een kruisteken op zijn kleding mag dragen, waar er een moskee moet worden gebouwd en hoe hoog de minaret dan moet worden.

De lijst gaat nog lang verder: of er luidsprekers in de minaret mogen zitten en hoe vaak die dan gebruikt mogen worden, of een bepaalde film verboden moet worden, of de bank een hypothecaire lening tegen vaste rente mag uitgeven, of mannen en vrouwen onder apartheid moeten leven. En natuurlijk de vrijheid van meningsuiting, echtscheiding, bloot in reclame, bloot in kunst, voogdij, homoseksualiteit, adoptie, slavernij, prostitutie, kinderhuwelijk, alcohol of wat dan ook. De lijst is eindeloos en onbegrensd, maar veel van die conflicten tussen de rechtssystemen maken de mensen die geen moslim zijn, helemaal niets uit.
