May 12, 2013 -- by Tom Mannis -- We've heard a lot recently about the failure to rescue the U.S. consulate staff in Benghazi, Libya during the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack. Killed in that attack were Ambassador Chris Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and two embassy security personnel, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods (both former Navy SEALs, stationed at the CIA annex nearby).
We've heard a lot about the lies about what happened after the whole sad affair by the Obama Administration.
That, I believe, threatens to draw attention away from the more important issue of what happened before the attack.
The Obama Administration's statements after the attack are important, but they distract from what should be the main point of investigation: The denial of sufficient security before the attack, despite pleas for more protection from the consulate.
Unfortunately, too many Republicans and too many in the media are obsessed with what happened in the aftermath of the Benghazi tragedy. There has been too little discussion of the drawback and denial of security in Benghazi, and even less talk of the warnings of pending violence. Yes, there were warnings...

NEW BOMBSHELL: Obama Hiding Arms Shipments To Syrian Jihadists (Video)
Oct. 31, 2012 - New video from Western Center for Journalism details the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, and also suggests that The Traitor Obama was hiding arms shipments to radical jihadists in Syria. Video uploaded today. This makes me so damned angry that I can't even write about it. Just watch the damned video. Obama needs to stand trial for high treason. Pronto.
Left To Die: Obama Knew Benghazi Attack Was Terrorism But Did Nothing
Oct. 25, 2012 - A new video (below) shows how the Obama Administration was more than merely negligent in the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and four others in the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11, 2012. Email from the doomed U.S. consulate just before and during the attack show that the attack was not a simple protest. Real-time video of the attack was watched in the White House situation room. Obama, it seems, intentionally left the U.S. consulate in Benghazi vulnerable and easy pickings for terrorists. That's a strong statement, but they received repeated requests for more security from Stevens in the months leading up to the Sept. 11 attack. Instead of listening to the ambassador and giving him more security staff, security was actually decreased.

IN REAL TIME: An excellent report by Peter Ferrara at Forbes.com (Oct. 25) notes that documents released by the House Oversight Committee show that on Sept. 11, "the White House situation room starts receiving emails at about 1 pm that the mission is under hostile surveillance. The only response was that the Pentagon sends a drone armed with a video camera so that everyone in Washington can see what transpires in real time, as it happens, at the White House, at the State Department, at the Pentagon, at the CIA."
You may recall that in the hours and days after the attack, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both blamed the violence on spontaneous protests in response to an anti-Muslim video. This, we now know, was not true.
Worse yet, Clintion and Obama were lying. They knew that it was a well-planned terrorist attack and not an ordinary protest that got out of hand.
"The drone documents no crowds protesting any video," continues the Forbes report. "But at 4 pm Washington receives an email from the Benghazi mission that it is under military style attack."
The subject of that email: "U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack."
The email from the consulate in Benghazi said that the consulate was "under attack." It said nothing about any protests. "Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM personnel are in the compound safe haven," said the email.
"Just one hour flight time away were U.S. Air Force bases," says Forbes, "that could have been rousted in minutes to send fighter planes and attack helicopters that could have routed the attackers in minutes of fighting." Officials in Washington watched the events in real time. No help was sent. "Obama went to bed," noted BeforeItsNews, "knowing that the embassy was under attack and then went to a fundraiser in Las Vegas the next morning."

Did Obama Want Chris Stevens Kidnapped To Trade For Blind Sheik?
UPDATE, Oct. 25: Left To Die: Obama Knew Benghazi Attack Was Terrorism, Did Nothing
UPDATE, Oct. 28: The Indictment of Barack Obama For Murder and Treason
Oct. 17, 2012 - A stunning video accuses Barack Obama of deliberately decreasing security at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya to eventually make himself look like a hero. If true, Obama would be guilty of treason and other high crimes, not to mention more than a few misdemeanors.
This amazing theory and accusation comes from Kevin Dujan, a political analyst and radio and TV host. As the Western Center For Journalism reports, Dujan "wrote an article and appeared on radio on October 8 putting forth a theory that the attack of the Libyan consulate was tied neither to a video or terrorism, but a botched kidnapping of Ambassador Stevens." Obama was allegedly so desperate for an "October surprise" in the presidential election that he was willing to endanger the lives of all of the consulate staff in Benghazi. Dujan also posted about this on his own website, Hill Buzz.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE MOST SHOCKING PART of what Dujan says. He also believes that Obama made arrangements with the Muslim Brotherhood to, as Western Journalism writes, "kidnap the Ambassador, and through Obama’s supposed affinity with the Muslim world, Obama would save the day and get the ambassador released. But the Muslim Brotherhood wanted something in return. Their beloved Blind Sheik."
The "Blind Sheik," Omar Abdel Rahman, is serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison, convicted for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and for plotting to destroy other New York landmarks. In late September, 2012 the White House announced that he would not be released from prison.
The theory sounds bizarre, but it is also not outside the realm of possibilities. The video here, titled "Benghazi Attack Was Botched Kidnapping to Trade Blind Sheik," was produced by Western Journalism.

At 2:20 into the video, the narrator says, "And how does one guarantee the success of an October surprise? Make a treasonous deal with your enemies. This was the plan: Obama would arrange to decrease the amount of security at the consulate, only leaving Libyan security guards that could be easily paid to leave their post. He then arranged for the ambassador to be taken hostage by a group tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, and Obama, like the cavalry riding in to save the day, would, through the power of his persuasion and affinity with the Muslim world, arrange for Ambassador Stevens's release days before the election. But that wasn't all. The Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, recently vowed that the 'Blind Sheik' would be released, and Obama had been negotiating with the Muslim Brotherhood.If Kevin Dujan is correct in his accusation against Obama, then this could be the biggest October surprise ever. It would not be the surprise that Obama was hoping for, however.

Obama and Clinton Ignored That 3:00 AM Phone Call - Chris Stevens Was Left To Die

| Lt. Col. Andrew Wood: NBC News |
The committee is chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. Lt. Col. Wood is the former head of a 16-member U.S. military team in Libya.
"The situation remained uncertain and reports from some Libyans indicated it was getting worse. Diplomatic security remained weak," Wood told the committee. Committee members were stunned to hear him say that "The RSO (regional security officer) struggled to obtain additional personnel there but was never able to attain the numbers he felt comfortable with."
Updated: Obama, Clinton Ignored Warnings About Benghazi Consulate Security - Then Lied About It
Sept. 20, 2012 - How out of touch with reality is the Obama Administration? Despite reliable sources saying that recently-slain U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens believed he was marked for death by al-Qaeda, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she has no reason to believe that such was the case.
Update, Oct. 8: "New evidence shows there were security threats in Libya in the months prior to the deadly September 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans," notes Heritage Foundation. "Despite these threats, the State Department left its personnel there to fend for themselves." Yep, just as we and many others said weeks ago. Heritage released this powerful video on Oct. 7. It clearly shows the pattern of lies by Obama, Clinton and their minions as they try to deflect blame for an utter lack of security measures at the doomed U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. (Fox News did a special report about Benghazi on Sept. 22; see next video.)
An Oct. 8 report says that security was actually cut back at the consulate before Benghazi attack. "Security for U.S. diplomats in Libya was cut in the weeks before the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi," reports The Washington Times, "despite the North African country’s high-risk environment, according to a member of the security team assigned to U.S. Embassy in Tripoli." The Times report quoted Army Lt. Col. Andrew Wood, who headed a Special Forces site security team in Tripoli, who told CBS News that he "felt like we were being asked to play the piano with two fingers," and "We felt we needed more, not less."
In my opinion, Hillary Clinton and her Dept. of State are criminally negligent and allowed Stevens and his staff to die. Yes, allowed. By virtue of reducing the security force in Benghazi and ignoring the clear warning signs, State put the staff in jeopardy unnecessarily. They left them to die.
Our original post, Sept. 20:
Either Clinton is just plain stupid or she's trying clumsily to deflect attention on her lack of attention to the dangerous situation on the ground in Libya in the days prior to the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in the city of Benghazi. That attack killed not only Chris Stevens but also three other State Department employees, foreign service officer Sean Smith, and Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, two former Navy SEALs working as security guards.
It's bad enough that President Obama has skipped most of his intelligence briefings during his tenure in the White House. "During his first 1,225 days in office, Obama attended his PDB just 536 times — or 43.8 percent of the time," wrote Marc A. Thiessen in the Washington Post. "During 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance became even less frequent — falling to just over 38 percent. By contrast, Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting." That column by Thiessen was published on Sept. 10, the day before Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed.
Three days later, on Sept. 13, Thiessen wrote that Obama "was scheduled to hold the intelligence meeting at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, the day after the attacks, but it was canceled so that he could comfort grieving employees at the State Department — as well he should. But instead of rescheduling the intelligence briefing for later in the day, Obama apparently chose to skip it altogether and attend a Las Vegas fundraiser for his re-election campaign. One day after a terrorist attack."
