As soon as they saw someone taking photographs at 6 AM the morning of the 11th.. Why weren't any of the CIA guys saying, Mr Ambassador.. we have to leave now?
Now I'm confused. You seem to have shifted your rhetoric from claiming that the CIA would have had an evacplan the moment they smelled something wrong...to now wondering why they didn't. The CIA knew that pictures were being taken. So what happened?
That article misses the entire points. The points are that this administration PURPOSEFULLY LIED to the American people. Ambassador Rice did NOT go on the Sunday political shows....5 of them.....and lie all on her own. She was sent there by the administration who provied the talking points. And those talking points were solely fool the American people into believing the attack at something to do with that video. It was not true; and they knew it. Secondly, there had been 2 previous attacks....one in April and one in June. The Red Cross and the British pulled out because of those attacks. BUT our administration did not even get our people any more protection....much less pull them out. AND failure on 2 counts.....Lying and lack of protection. This is not over; no matter who wins the election. When you've got a president purposefully lying to the American people to try and save his political behind, that's an impeachable event. Classic cover-up.
That's the question.. What happened? They always have an escape plan and someone taking photos of the facilities is always a red flag. These CIA guy are very skilled .. Did the Ambassador override their training?
Or perhaps someone else did. We do know that Obama and people who are loyal to him and report to him didn't heed prior warnings of instability even though Stevens repeatedly sound the alarm. We know that Obama had a ready strategy he prepared for consumption by the American public to blame an obscure video for the Benghazi attack, trying very hard to shift public perception to the notion of this being "our" fault rather than a terrorist attack in a region that he was supposed to have succeeded in stabilizing. Because they were supposed to 'like' us now. And UN Ambassador Susan Rice took that carefully crafted script right to the news media to feed us. That we know. From there, it isn't hard at all to conclude that the same Administration who would be so reluctant to admit that something was a planned terrorist attack (it was obvious to them immediately) would also be very hesitant to elevate the confrontation to a clash between US military and insurgent terrorists. Which is why we have all the excuses we now see about how no air or other support was provided. How many men did the CIA have stationed at the Annex?
You're right.. Mobile Security Deployment. CBS News has learned that congressional investigators have issued a subpoena to a former top security official at the US mission in Libya. The official is Lt. Col. Andy Wood, a Utah National Guard Army Green Beret who headed up a Special Forces "Site Security Team" in Libya. Lt. Col. Andy Wood led a 16-member Special Forces site security team responsible for protecting U.S. personnel in Libya. The subpoena compels Lt. Col. Wood to appear at a House Oversight Committee hearing next week that will examine security decisions leading up to the Sept. 11 Muslim extremist terror assault on the U.S. compound at Benghazi. U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his colleagues were killed in the attack. Lt. Col. Wood has told CBS News and congressional investigators that his 16-member team and a six-member State Department elite force called a Mobile Security Deployment team left Libya in August, just one month before the Benghazi assault. Wood says that's despite the fact that US officials in Libya wanted security increased, not decreased. Wood says he met daily with Stevens and that security was a constant challenge. There were 13 threats or attacks on western diplomats and officials in Libya in the six months leading up to the September 11 attack. continued. http://www.ktvq.com/news/congress-to-probe-security-flaws-for-libya-diplomats/
