The Battle of Benghazi

The Battling Boys of Benghazi

We’re the Battling Boys of Benghazi ,

no fame, no glory, no paparazzi.

Just a fiery death in a blazing hell

defending the country we loved so well.

It wasn’t our job, but we answered the call,

fought to the consulate and scaled the wall.

We pulled 20 countrymen from the jaws of fate,

led them to safety and stood at the gate.

Just the two of us, and foes by the score,

but we stood fast to bar the door.

Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,

so we fought and we fought and we fought till we died.

We gave our all for our Uncle Sam

but Barack Obama didn’t give a damn

just two dead Seals who carried the load

no thanks to us – we were just “bumps in the road”.

Top conspiracy theories on the web this week

Because given media complicity in Obama scandals and cover ups, they are probably all true

1)  Dean Worstcasescenario Forward on FaceBook

Let’s see what you want to add to my summation of Benghazi. Obama, wanted a spectacular event to occur to boost his election results. So he worked out an agreement with the Libyans to seize the Embassy Staff in Benghazi & then release them for weapons and presumably money when they handed back their hostages. Problem was , they failed to brief the Embassy Staff about that and a shootout occurred , Rebels died and they took it out on the Embassy Staff. The purpose was to give Obama an election ‘bump’ and get more weapons to the Rebels. Did I encapsulate the whole mess right ?

2). Mark Voluntaryist on FaceBook

More new info, to me, from “Dirty Wars”

“The Special Operations Command also began working on a program for monitoring suspected or know insurgents. It was straight out of a sci-fi film. Known as “Continuous Clandestine Tagging Tracking and Locating,” or CTTL, it involved using advanced biometrics and chemistry to develop a long-range facial recognition program as well as a “Human Thermal Fingerprint” that could be isolated for any individual. They also used a chemical “bioreactive tagging” to mark people by discreetly swabbing a part of their body. The tagging would emit a signal that JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) could remotely monitor enabling it to track people 24/7/365. It was like a modern version of the old spook’s tracking devices made famous in films, where spies would weave them into an enemy’s clothes or place them on the bottom of a vehicle. The tagging allowed JSOC to mark prisoners and the release them to see if they would lead the task force to a potential terror or insurgent cell. Putting the on nonprisoners was a greater challenge, but it happened. The use of such technology, along with the accelerated pace of the killings and captures, would inspire President Bush’s declaration that “JSOC is awesome.””

So the question is, how are these tactics being employed against the US civilian population, if at all?

Rand Paul right on Benghazi

 Jake Tapper

Recall H Clinton answer when Sen Paul asked about gun-running: “you’ll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex.”

7:26pm – 1 Aug 13

Breaking: CNN Reports CIA Engaged in Massive Intimidation Campaign to Keep Benghazi a Secret — This is HUGE. Basically the CIA is reportedly giving polygraph tests EVERY MONTH to more than a dozen CIA employees that were on the ground in Benghazi during the attack, to ensure that none of them talk about what happened that night. CNN — CNN has uncovered exclusive new information about what is allegedly happening at the CIA, in the wake of the deadly Benghazi terror attack.

Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the assault by armed militants last September 11 in eastern Libya.

Sources now tell CNN dozens of people working for the CIA were on the ground that night, and that the agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever it was doing, remains a secret.

Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency’s missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency’s workings.

The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress.

It is being described as pure intimidation, with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career.

In exclusive communications obtained by CNN, one insider writes, “You don’t jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well.”

(Side note: Remember, Michael Hastings was working on a “big story” involving the CIA before his demise. It makes you wonder…)

Additionally, The Telegraph is reporting that a “CIA team was working in an annex near the consulate on a project to supply missiles from Libyan armouries to Syrian rebels. Sources said that more Americans were hurt in the assault spearheaded by suspected Islamic radicals than had been previously reported.”

Will David Ubben Blow Roof Off ‘Phony’ Benghazi Scandal?

 

Posted 08/01/2013 at Investors Business Daily

Scandal: The former commander of special operations in North Africa says he, like our president, was incommunicado during the Benghazi attack. We may soon hear from the hero who survived 20 hours waiting for help.

During the second wave of attacks on Benghazi, diplomatic security agent David Ubben was on the roof of the CIA annex with two former Navy SEALS. Eventually, several rounds of mortar attacks found their mark, killing Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty while shredding Ubben’s right leg.

Ubben was stuck on that rooftop for 20 hours before help finally arrived. He can tell us and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “what difference does it make”that help was not sent — at least two American lives. Ubben sustained injuries at Benghazi so severe he’s still being treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Rep. Darrel Issa’s House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has tried to interview Ubben as part of its Benghazi scandal investigation, but the State Department has not allowed the meeting, according to Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah.

“While initially they said they would be helpful, pretty quickly they turned that off,” Chaffetz reported. “And I had a meeting scheduled to go visit this … young man and then I was denied.” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki denies Chaffetz’s claim, saying State has been fully cooperative.

Another Republican congressman, Frank Wolf of Virginia, who has gathered a majority of Republicans in the House in support of a select committee to investigate Benghazi, recently sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry complaining that the State Department has refused for months to provide Congress with the names and contact information of the survivors.

Ubben entered the smoke- and flame-filled Benghazi consulate several times in an attempt to rescue his fellow Americans. First, he recovered the body of Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith. He also went searching for Ambassador Chris Stevens but couldn’t find him.

With more hearings scheduled on Benghazi this fall, some lawmakers hope Ubben will feel he’s well enough to publicly testify, because he’s one of the few survivors to witness both waves of the attack.

It was hoped that Col. George H. Bristol, former commander of Marine Corps special forces in Africa, could help explain to Ubben and to us why he had to wait on a roof in Benghazi for 20 hours for help to finally arrive.

Bristol was in charge of special operations forces in Northern Africa on the night of the Benghazi terrorist attack. He gave closed-door congressional testimony on Wednesday in which he said he was traveling in Africa at the time of the Benghazi attack and unreliable communications kept him from participating in the attack response, or lack of one.

Slick Hilly

Fade in, camera shows a room full of reporters at a press conference clamoring to ask their question.

Reporter 1: Mrs. Clinton, do you think you can handle the rigor of 4 years in the Oval Office?

HRC: What difference, at this point, does it make?

Reporter 2: Mrs. Clinton, what is your plan to cut the runaway spending of your former boss, president Obama?

HRC: What difference, at this point, does it make?

Reporter 3: Mrs Clinton, do you support drone strikes, suppression of the constitution, and outright lying to the American people?

HRC: What difference, at this point, does it make?

Voice-over: What difference indeed.
