Title: Sharyl Attkisson: US Had Teams Ready to Stop Benghazi But Were Called Off

Sheryl Attkisson better watch out.  She is already on the president's enemies list.  That aside, I wish someone could be held accountable for this.  I saw an interview last night with family members of those killed.  Heartbreaking.  They deserved so much better.   

Sharyl Attkisson: US Had Teams Ready to Stop Benghazi But Were Called Off
By Greg Richter   
Wednesday, 13 Jan 2016

The United States had several teams and potential rescuers ready to act during the 2012 Benghazi attacks — but they were stopped from acting, possibly by the White House, Emmy Award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson told Newsmax TV on Wednesday.

"This is something that the president and the White House has steadfastly denied," Attkisson told "The Steve Malzberg Show" in an interview.

Attkisson has a segment on the assaults — which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and four other Americans, including two former Navy SEALs — on this week's edition of her syndicated news-magazine show, "Full Measure With Sharyl Attkisson."

"But there's now what I would call an overwhelming body of evidence that leads us to believe that somebody stopped a number of teams and potential rescuers from entering Libya or going to Benghazi to help while those attacks were underway," she said. "They could have gotten there."

"They could have gotten there before the last two Americans died," Attkisson added. "Those attacks went on for eight hours."
 
Another segment details the tense standoff between Senate Republicans and President Barack Obama over the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Attkisson interviewed South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, for the report.

"Lindsey Graham says the president is delusional if he thinks this is the time to shut down Guantanamo Bay," she told Malzberg. "But it's a matter of authority — and Congress has tried to restrict the president's authority to bring prisoners here and to do other things.

"The president has made it clear that he will go outside Congress' authority and sometimes even outside the law to accomplish what he wants to accomplish," Attkisson said. "It's an interesting showdown."

republicans should hold a competent investigation.

 i know they did 7 or 8 investigations already, but these were run by GOP party lapdogs more focused on giving speeches to fox news, than they were about bringing hilary to justice.  Bragging about pulling down her poll numbers?  Asinine.  Promising to drag it out until oct 2016?  Shithead partisan hacks.   They don't care about justice, they care about politics.

Such a shame that those shitty Republicans, who have secretly worked to hand the POTUS office to a Kenyan born Muslim in the biggest cover up in history are also now working to cover up the deaths that he and his Administration are responsible for.   Shitty Republicans just can't be trusted to do the right thing.  Ever.

Suddenly we get a "bombshell" two weeks before a close Iowa caucus?   Sorry, but this smells like shit (and I do think hilary is guilty here)

We have an "Emmy Award-winning journalist" who comes to uber-republican NEWSMAX right before Hilary in a big battle for Iowa.  Sorry, but this smells politically-driven like crazy.

Quote

WASHINGTON –  A two-year investigation by the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee has found that the CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya.

The report alleges no wrongdoing by Obama administration appointees.

Debunking a series of persistent allegations hinting at dark conspiracies surrounding the incident, the report concludes that there was no intelligence failure, no delay in sending a CIA rescue team, no missed opportunity for a military rescue, and no evidence the CIA was covertly shipping arms from Libya to Syria.

The report blames the Obama administration's inaccurate portrayal of the attack as having evolved from a protest on fragmentary and contradictory intelligence from the CIA. It finds no intent to mislead the American public.

And "you cannot prove it false" is how 3rd graders argue.  Apply it to anything... Doesn't fly the burden of proof is on the accuser.  And if ya don't know, now Ya know.

repeating a proven lie is not dropping a bombshell and ....newsflash, no one is watching NewsmaxTV where this so called "bombshell" was dropped.

The results of that GOP investigation was released over a year ago so you can't really expect dipshits like Bum and Coach to have heard about it yet

I guess you can  longer trust Fox News or the Republicans who conducted the investigation

Looks like you also can't trust Petraeus or the US Military either

why didn't republicans call these soldiers who were there, to testify?

I mean, sure, they did admit it was all about hurting hilary in the polls, I guess there's that.

Not about justice... about stringing along the prosecution til Oct 2016.  How convenience.  Shithead partisan hacks just want to win elections, they could give a rats ass about those dead heroes.  they just want to score political points.

So why didn't the Repubs bring this info forward at the beginning of the hearings?  Was it their plan to waste $$$ over multiple hearing until unveiling this critical and convicting information?  Is that it?  I thought they wanted to cut spending and save money.

Blah blah blah........you guys have no idea how this shit works do you. The repubs did call the witnesses forward during the one they controlled and they say a stand down order was given. Even amongst the repubs, there was a difference of opinion as to what occurred. CIA had testified that no stand down was given....however they're mincing words. It may have been the actually order ..stand down... was never given but that in all actuality that was what was being done or told to outside agencies. OL Hil got em all killed and nobody cares.

OL Hil got em all killed and nobody cares.

I always found this odd... blaming HILARY for it.    I have always blamed obama - 2 months before 2012 election, he sure did'nt want to legitimize al-Q by wasting 200 of them from choppers.  Rather, 4 deaths at an outpost was a smaller news story than 200 dead bodies strewn about.

BUT why does it stop with hilary, and not obama, who admitted he was monitoring the entire situation?   Was there some magic formula where the POTUS has no power, but the sec of state does?   Or, more realistically, the POTUS gives the 'stand down' order and hilary passes it down the chain?

The mothertrucking fact that repubs are attacking hilary (the 2016 threat) and completely ignoring obama (not up for re-election) tells me it's all political bullshit, nothing to do with finding justice for the 4 heroes killed.

until repubs call OBAMA and not hilary, they can suck one, cause they're just want to win elections.  Fuck them.

Please stop commenting on shit you know knowing about.  They had SOF, F-16's and atleast 2-3 other forces that could have inserted. Christ JSOC from Bragg was spun up. They had Predator feeds over the battle. The guys at the CIA compound could have gotten Stevens out or made an attempt. They were able to get the others out and get back to their compound in time to fight off the screaming hordes of Obama's peaceful Muslims.

so how does anyone blame hilary for the stand down - when obama was monitoring it the entire time?

where is the smoking gun that obama had no say, and hilary was the one stopping help from arriving?

or, like i said... is this just "obama ain't running, let's damage hilary instead!"

Because Romeny used it against obama (when obama was running) and since he won, it's heen all "oh, it was hilary, remember?"
