Hillary strikes back.

I agree...

Clearly, these evil Republicans are interfering with an ongoing investigation and I can't answers any further questions until after the election...er, investigation.

Damning...

In this case, the Crime (not protecting or fortifying the Embassy after repeated pleas) is far worse than the Cover Up.

0bama negligence causes US deaths. That would be 3rd degree murder in most jurisdictions.

This came up in the hearings as well and in Stevens diary.

The timing of these documents is not optimal

Looking forward to the alphabets reporting of this on the evening news and Sunday shows. Silence?? Really??

Obama should be filling out those change of address cards about now.

Obama lied, Americans died

Obama's failure to attend his security briefings should be what brings him down. It's clearly dereliction. Was Hillary even in the country? I think she may have got back around Sept 10.

"The entire reason this has become the political topic it is, is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan." - Stephanie Cutter CNN Oct 11 2012

Checked and the media is ignoring this. It will go nowhere...

Good catch, #1! Yes, Hiliary claimed responsibility, but here comes the Friday afternoon document dump.

I scream. I cry. Words do not come to describe the anger with this administration...or at least not fit for this site.

Read this. James Rosen on Fox now with excerpts from Stevens's cables. Chilling. And maddening.

You MUST read these cables from Benghazi. They are devastating. The Chicago amateurs crossed the wrong people.

Near the bottom of the article:

''In a letter to President Obama, dated October 19 and accompanied by the documents, the lawmakers faulted the administration both for providing inadequate security before 9/11, and for allegedly obfuscating the nature of the events on 9/11.''

It's out, an October surprise wrapped in a big, red ribbon.

How can anyone ignore this?

On September 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.”

In the document, Stevens also cited a meeting he had held two days earlier with local militia commanders. These men boasted to Stevens of exercising “control” over the Libyan Armed Forces, and threatened that if the U.S.-backed candidate for prime minister were to prevail in Libya’s internal political jockeying, “they would not continue to guarantee security in Benghazi.”

Criminal.

Article goes on to detail his previous communiques about the worsening situation - and this in a country he had long known and loved.

All of this interfered with Obama's campaigning. "Don't forget his concern with someone saying something the 'enemy' didn't like.
Can a president be tried for aiding and abetting murder?

Maxwell Smart (Obama): Well, it was a mob, a spontaneous demonstration that got out of hand. Do you believe it?
Agent 99 (Hillary): I find that hard to believe.
Maxwell Smart: Would you believe an angry protest due to a hateful anti-Islamic video.
Agent 99: I find that hard to believe.
Maxwell Smart: How about a Republican trap with Romney jumping the gun.
Agent 99: Please, Max.
Maxwell Smart: OK, then, how about a boy scout with a sling shot.

I still ask - when this administration left them to hang out and die, not dry, why did they not get on a plane and get out of there?

Here's a shock, just CNN's website and I couldn't find anything about this.

Where is the outrage? I am outraged that the MSM doesn't care. I care. I want Obama and Hillary fired now!

I'm sure this all came up, over and over again, during the briefings that Obama didn't attend due to his appearances on the View and Letterman and packing for Vegas and all.

He truly does not care. That was HIS ambassador. He does not care. He uses people and flings them aside. Dead, under the bus, whatever. Just don't bother him and the wife, they've got a plane to keep waiting.

You mean, you mean that it was not the video, Zero? The video you mentioned multiple times at the UN two weeks after the brave Americans were murdered?

'The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.'
- Barack Obama at the UN in late September 2012

'Way down at the end of the article, this nugget:

At the State Department briefing today, spokeswoman Victoria Nuland declined to comment on published reports alleging that an official working for the Central Intelligence agency had informed the Obama administration on September 12 that the Benghazi murders were an act of terrorism.

Wow! One could almost believe that these murders were 'allowed' so that Obama could appease the Islamic brotherhood.
.... Maybe Louis Farrakkhan and his Nation of Islam organization can tell Obama what to do next and what lies to use in explaining away the latest facts.

Shouldn't Mitt ask Zippy why ValJar gets more personal security than an embassy in the ME ?

From what I have read, Steven's father supports Zippy. I don't get it.

Stevens was suppose to be a friend of Shillary. We know how that turns out.

Juan Williams and others even posting here do not want Mitt to bring up Libya in the next debate.

You now know why.
obama and Hillary Clinton partied and these 4 men died.

Oh, as for bringing this up on Monday, we can be confident Mitt is sharpening the stiletto. Figuratively, of course.

I cannot wait!

Calling Candy Crowley! Here's your new transcript.

Obie (ValJar?) wanted Libya to look normal. Happy campers enjoying their new "freedom".

The beefing up of security would spoil the image as word went out from the locals working security at the consulate to their families, etc., in the area. No, they needed the image of "normalization", achieved by sending security personnel home.

Never mind that everyone on the ground in Libya was saying "it's bad out here and growing worse - don't take our security - we need more, not less!!!!"

Political image in a presidential campaign trumped security for our citizens who had been sent to Libya. This is criminal.

Grandma is staying to the very end!

Poster #12, you're exactly right - Obama lied, Americans died. Frightening how many people in this administration have blood on their hands; Eric Holder (Brian Terry), Obama, Hillary, Jarrett (Benghzai victims). And how many that we don't know about. Unbelieveable what is happening in our beloved country.

#17, and no doubt everyone posting on this, i share the same emotion. And deep anger...

...anger that officials of the BO regime had and have so little regard for the lives of Americans in Libya (or anywhere else, for that matter, including right here)...

BO, as all marxistic types, has no respect for lives which are expendable when "the cause" demands their sacrifice. This is why there can be more than 100 million victims of communism over 70 years, unbelievable suffering, with NOT ONE WORD of regret or apology from the advocates of this stupid utopian scheme.

John Bolton says that BO is not ignorant, he is not incompetent. What we are seeing are the consequences of his ideology, played out on the world stage.

Bolton endorsed Romney during the Primaries. I HOPE HOPE HOPE that he is advising him now. Romney must know that a vast number of Americans are being deliberately kept ignorant. He must shine the light of truth on this grotesquerie.

The truth must be made stark and clear.

Tonight a special report on Benghazi on FOX.

Are we missing the point on Benghazi?
Obama claimed that on SUN in the Rose Garden he referred to "an act of terror." The OBVIOUS questio then should have been, "WHO told you that? Where did you get that information? When you are usually so ubercautious about a rush to judgment about terrorism, WHAT led you to IMMEDIATELY declare the Benghazi assault an "act of terror?"
Unfortunately, NOBODY ever asked that Obama that question! Instead, Rush et al went down another path, which was to insist that Obama was referring to 9/11/2011, which frankly is unclear, judging from his words alone. And then to go on about Susan Rice, etc. Obama has culpable deniability about any of that: the size of the bureaucracy...
TODAY, we learn that the intelligence station chief told "Washington" WITHIN 24 HOURS of the attack that it was terror-related? WHO is "Washington?" This is worded specifically so that Obama can argue his Benghazi response either way: that he KNEW or that the word just didn't get to him.
Not only has Hillary fallen on her sword, but now the intelligence station chief as well---by providing Obama with cover so he can claim that the Rose Garden reference to "acts of terror" was BASED ON verifiable intelligence reports given to him within 24 hours or the incident.
Is Obama constructing a careful backstory here and are we walking right into a trap?

It appears Bambi is screwed.

I think Romney camp should make a public 'delivery' of this news to NYT/Wapo/LA TImes /CNN/MSNBC/CBS/ABC/NBC/PBS as a gesture of support.

At least we have one good investigative reporter - James Rosen.

Those poor parents of the slain men.

#38 One must remember after the utterance in the Rose Garden 'terror' a week or so later the ambassador to the UN, Dr Rice and President Obama at the UN stated categorically that the disturbance in Benghazi with the murder of 4 Americans was caused by a 14 min amateur anti- muslim video. This is obviously a coverup orchestated by the WH and we the American People are still waiting for the answer. #38 this is a cover up of huge consequences.

I hunt with some Bubbers who would love have a license
to test their bows and 2,000 meter skills on these wacks.

These good ole boys would do this service to the CSA for the fun of it. I am willing to wager that you American men north of the Mason Dixon line would be almost as happy and just as competent at vermin removal.

911A145acp and 50 Barrett

I'm with you, #17. It seems that's all I have left in me. Terribly upsetting.

#42 of course I agree w that. But I think the station chief has provided cover for Obama by announcing that he notified "Washington" within the first 24 hrs.
Someone should have confronted Obama when he & Crowley claimed that he had immediately labeled Benghazi as an act or terror. They should have asked why Obama would make such a completely out-of-character rush to judgment.

I want to see copies of the Daily Security briefs to know if the pleas from the Consulate for more security were included in those briefs; if the pleas were not included, I want to know why. If the pleas were included, I want to know if those briefs were the ones that 0b@$tard didn't deign to read and discuss with the "team," the people who gathered the info for the briefs.

I want to know WHEN and IF the Idiot in the White House knew about the prior breach in the wall at the consulate; a breach big enough for 40 people to walk through. Was there a report of that breach in his daily briefs?

Not one mention by anyone that I've heard so far about the Marxist pResident ignoring the Daily Briefs. No one mention it. Not by anyone.

Too much golf, too many celebrities to be entertained by, too many fund raisers. Too much acting like a newly-rich Chicago Ghetto Thug to pay attention to the security of the nation.

A disgrace.
