Declassified interviews prove the Obama regime knew Benghazi was a terrorist attack from the very beginning
I do not intend to spend too much time on this story because we pretty much knew that Barack Obama knew the attack in Benghazi which left Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods dead was a terrorist attack from the beginning (I previously reported he knew the truth within 24 hours) yet lied to the American people for two weeks, but now we have the proof.
The proof comes in the form of the newly declassified interviews with General Ham and Colonel Bristol.
The new information comes in the form of transcripts of previously classified interviews with General Carter Ham and Marine Corps Col. George Bristol. In June, Rep. Howard McKeon asked AFRICOM Commander Gen. Ham if there was “any mention of a demonstration or was all discussion about an attack?” Ham replied that there had been “peripheral” discussion about this. When pressed by Rep. Brad Wenstrup on the same point, Ham answered “Again, sir, I think, you know, there was some preliminary discussion about, you know, maybe there was a demonstration. But I think at the command, I personally and I think the command very quickly got to the point that this was not a demonstration, this was a terrorist attack.”
Rep. Wenstrup raised the same question with Col. Bristol whose title at the time was “Joint Special Operations Task Force for the Trans Sahara region.” Wenstrup asked “So no one from the military was ever advising, that you are aware of, that this was a demonstration gone out of control, it was always considered an attack -” Col. Bristol replied “Yes, sir. … We referred to it as the attack.”
In the very first briefing Barack Obama was told that this was an attack and was not part of a demonstration against some obscure You Tube video and yet for two weeks he, Hillary Clinton, and Susan Rice made the false accusation that this was part of a spontaneous demonstration which escalated out of control, culminating in Barack Obama’s speech in front of the United Nations when he continued the deception on the world stage.
When it was eventually learned by the American people that this was not the truth these three people made the claim that in the fog of war the details were blurred and they were simply relaying the best information they had at the time. We now know this was also a lie because they knew the truth all along but tried to hide it for political reasons because there was an election on the horizon and Barack Obama was making the claim that al-Qaeda was on the run.
But as bad as that is on its own it gets even worse when you think about this fact: Barack Obama knew this was a terrorist attack and he knew Chris Stevens was missing and yet after that initial briefing Barack Obama went AWOL and did not again meet with his national defense team about the attack. Apparently he had more important things to worry about than the fate of Chris Stevens and every other American under attack that night–he had to get some rest because he had a major fundraiser in Las Vegas to prepare for.

disgraceful … there’s not a drop of integrety in that man.

It really is sickening to think that Obama put politics ahead of the possibility of saving our heroes. There are not words strong enough for me to describe how I feel about this whole situation.

Thanks for posting about this, Steve. I look back at the struggle we have had to get the real story out about the events concerning Benghazi and now, just maybe, there might be hope that the truth will be known.
More than anything else, this strengthens my feeling that Barack Obama was only concerned with covering his own political backside. The deaths in Benghazi were only a inconvenience that he had to disguise, lest they derail his reelection. We now have prove of that. Will the media finally do their job? Will Congress finally take action?
I’m not holding my breath.

Hopefully we will get to the truth someday but even with these revelations we have not heard the MSM report this with the vigor they have displayed in the Christie scandal so I doubt anything will change. As for the Congress, I am beginning to wonder why they are not going after Obama on this. Is it because they know the truth and the GOP leadership has some role in the scandal as well?
