The mainstream media, showing signs of life, does some actual reporting on the Benghazi massacre. Reuters:
MISSIVES FROM LIBYARead the rest. Next question for watchdog media: What did Jay-Z know and when did he know it?
The records obtained by Reuters consist of three emails dispatched by the State Department's Operations Center to multiple government offices, including addresses at the White House, Pentagon, intelligence community and FBI, on the afternoon of September 11.
The first email, timed at 4:05 p.m. Washington time - or 10:05 p.m. Benghazi time, 20-30 minutes after the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission allegedly began - carried the subject line "U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack" and the notation "SBU", meaning "Sensitive But Unclassified."
The text said the State Department's regional security office had reported that the diplomatic mission in Benghazi was "under attack. Embassy in Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well."
The message continued: "Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four ... personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support."
A second email, headed "Update 1: U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi" and timed 4:54 p.m. Washington time, said that the Embassy in Tripoli had reported that "the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi had stopped and the compound had been cleared." It said a "response team" was at the site attempting to locate missing personnel.
A third email, also marked SBU and sent at 6:07 p.m. Washington time, carried the subject line: "Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack."
The message reported: "Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli."
While some information identifying recipients of this message was redacted from copies of the messages obtained by Reuters, a government source said that one of the addresses to which the message was sent was the White House Situation Room, the president's secure command post.
The Preezy of the United Steezy will be chatting with Jay Leno tonight. Maybe Jay will ask him why no rescue was attempted? If not, it's all up to you, Sway Calloway.

...how could the WH say a video caused all this when the text of the emails from the State Department's regional security office ON 9/11/12, to the WH Situation Room, had reported that the diplomatic mission in Benghazi was under military attack.
ReplyDeleteThere is no mention in any of the emails from the State Department's regional security office to the WH Situation Room ON 9/11/12 of anyone pretesting due to a video.
IN FACT: at 6:07 p.m. on 9/11/12, Washington time, carried the subject line: "Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack."
The message reported to the WH: "Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli."
why is this so hard for the MSM to debunk en masse?????
If this isn't an example of high crimes and misdemeanors warrant of impeachment proceedings then we may as well close up shop and shut this entire 236 year experiment called "America" down. I weep at what we've become.

ReplyDeleteMore and more, this is starting to sound like the "Blackhawk Down" situation. Can't go in with overwheming force because of the "optics." So, our people in Benghazi are left to fend for themselves with small arms, while our "leaders" watch like it's the movie-of-the-week. Now we read about Mr. Woods's encounter with those leaders, his dead son's body lying nearby, and they can't bring themselves to look him in the eye and give him the straight story. The truth takes a back seat to the re-election of the President. That's not how my dad raised me, and it's now how I raise my sons. It is despicable. My two sons are the same age as the President's daughters. What are they learning from this? Man up, and do the right thing.
