According to the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report on Benghazi, on Sept. 15, four days after the attack and one day before Rice’s appearance, the CIA's most senior operative on the ground in Libya emailed Morell and others at the agency that the attack was "not/not an escalation of protests."
Fox News has confirmed that three days earlier, the CIA Chief of Station and the agency's team in Libya also sent situation reports, known as sitreps, to Washington.The raw intelligence reporting described a coordinated attack by extremists, not an out-of-control protest.
The video was linked to protests elsewhere in the region. But on Sept. 15, in what appears to be a direct response to the administration's public statements about the cause of the attack, the CIA's chief of station sent the email to Morell saying protests were not involved in Benghazi.
Documents released by the administration last May show that by Sept. 15, Morell was engaged on the talking points with the State Department and White House.The bipartisan Senate report shows that on the same day, Morell cut half the text including prior intelligence warnings to the State Department.The word "Islamic" was dropped, but "demonstrations" stayed in.
Since retiring from the CIA last year, Morell has taken on high-profile assignments for the administration, including the NSA review panel, which formulated recommendations for President Obama. In addition to the book deal, he is now a TV commentator on national security issues for CBS News and has taken a position for Beacon Global Strategies, which was founded by Philippe Reines.The New York Times magazine recently described Reines as Clinton's "principal gatekeeper."
See a familiar pattern?
The administration is getting very good at editing out the word "Islamic" from government documents. They did in the Report on the Ft. Hood massacre, they did it again in the FBI training manuals and instructions, they are doing it here and a lot of other news stories that don't report the obvious. You have to deduce the obvious by the names of the criminals.
ReplyDeleteIt is all very much like Stalin having pictures of people who presided over the May Day parade with him on the podium the year before airbrushed out of existence the next year once Stalin liquidated him. His picture and all references to him or writings by him simply disappeared.
They have this joke in Russia, "We know the future very well (triumph over capitalism), it is just the PAST that we don't know." Who knows will fall out of favor and be erased from all memory?
It is the predilection of this president and administration to have a preference for Muslims and they are pretty single minded about hiding the truth in this and many other episodes. These lies and subterfuges about Benghazi are just one of these.
A case in point they make about this is that there was no way we could have gotten military assets there soon enough. The fact is that they knew about the attack in real time in minutes and NOBODY knows how long the attack will go on. The first instinct of anyone who has been in the military is to drop everything immediately and do EVERYTHING you can to defend those brothers who are under attack. You just don't weasel out of it afterwards with bobbing and feinting and withholding information from Congress. This is the responsibility of the Commander and Chief.
I wonder if he slept well that night knowing his troops were under attack and dying while he waited to see what would happen. Of course he has a compliant press who don't criticize for any reason. Maybe they think they will be airbrushed out of the picture... certainly out of their left wing news organizations. And, I forgot, it was during a crucial time in the election campaign. That certainly trumped everything else.
As I previously wrote, they should be deported. If they are converted native born Brits, let them choose a country.
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt that they will obey the court order after they get out of jail. I also doubt they will be tracked to see if they comply.
I don't know by what right that someplace is "Muslim territory" simply because they live there. What sovereign right do they have over whatever they call Muslim territory.
The country as a whole will be better off without them for the reasons I listed in another thread here. I also think that if you deport enough of them those remaining will get an attitude adjustment.
Just caught some footage of Hillary in the aftermath of the Benghazi attack which for some reason I do not recall seeing before. She and Obama were at Andrews AFB when they brought the caskets/bodies of the four dead back to the U.S. She had a few words to say; among them were these.
ReplyDeleteAfter describing the action at Benghazi as an "attack", she went on to talk about attacks at "embassies" throughout that region as being based on objection to a video which the U.S. had nothing to do with.
In any event, while she did not quite exactly say so, the implication was quite clear, and strongly suggested, that the inference to be drawn by listeners was that the Benghazi attack was also a spontaneous and uncoordinated demonstration, as appeared to be the case in Cairo, and NOT terroristic in nature.
And of course by then, any one with a room temperature IQ was fully aware that this WAS indeed a planned, coordinated terrorist attack and not at all spontaneous. In case you doubt that, remember that to protect Obama, a lot of libs/Dems reminded us that he described it as a "terrorist act" the day after it occurred. Can't have it both ways.
As with much if not most of what else she has to say, Hillary was again grossly duplicitous in this instance. She HAD to know.
What may bother me the most is that some 50-60 per cent of American voters, depending on what day of the week it is, are apparently dumb enough (there's that IQ again, actually as dumb as the proverbial day-old donkey) to potentially/actually vote for her. Sad, sad state of affairs.

ReplyDeleteIf Hillary is elected president after all this, I give up. It will mean that as a people have degenerated into something I can't even describe.
Gary, let me help you understand. See if the following excerpt from the epilogue of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment isn't analogous to the Obama liberals.
ReplyDeleteRaskolnikov, the murderer, has nightmares of a terrible, unprecedented plague from Asia:
"Those infected were seized immediately and went mad. Yet people never considered themselves so clever and unhesitatingly right as these infected ones considered themselves. Never had they considered their decrees, their scientific deductions, their moral convictions and their beliefs more firmly based. Whole settlements, whole cities and nations, were infected and went mad.."
That's pretty much the way I view liberals now... despite all the obvious evidence of how wrong they are on so many issues, they continue to believe. They make excuses. They blame others. They hide the truth. They give contorted explanations of the failures and yet soldier on for even more of the same.
Madness!
I read War and Peace. I think it was on page 1654.
