Information has been coming out about this rather stunningly horrific scandal at a, dare I say it, ‘fast and furious’ pace. I haven’t posted a lot because much of it was redundant and much more was unverifiable material that only serves to muddy the waters of what is a very important story.
But when Melanie Philips posts something on it, you know it is well researched and worth your time and effort.

Until now, such public attention as has been devoted to the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi on September 11, in which the US ambassador to Libya and three others were murdered, has dwelt upon whether President Obama had falsely blamed the attack on violent reaction to a film about Islam even though he knew from the start that this was in fact a premeditated attack by al Qaeda.
But now, far more devastating evidence has emerged that not only did he indeed know from the start it was a premeditated attack, but that for several hours after it started the White House refused to answer desperate pleas for help by American forces trying to defend the consulate – and who died as a result.
Despite CIA denials, Fox News reports that that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators twice to ‘stand down’ rather than help the ambassador’s team.
‘Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to “stand down,” according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to “stand down.”
‘Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight.

Never forget that Obama & Clinton APOLOGIZED to the muslim world after he watched the attack live – using the phrase “The Prophet” while suggesting that the US government had nothing to do with the making of the ‘innocense of muslims’ film clip – few ever saw prior to their mention.
Cathering Herridge was on Huckabee talking about the Syrian weapons connection. There’s definitely more behind this story
Horrific glimpse into the character of the cowardly occupier of the White House and his morally bankrupt media enablers.
If he is re-elected after this scandal, there’s no hope for America and the West, the writing is on the wall, surrender to tyranny..
No matter who wins the election this scandal isn’t going away, it is going to last a long time and people are going to go to prison over it.
