View Full Version : CNN on Benghazi
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.

In one sense this is not news. The CIA is supposed to keep secrets. But it bothers me that they are putting such heavy pressure on their own people (if true). If you got one rat, you got a rat. But if you have a whole bunch of people who you are afraid are going to talk, maybe you are hiding something that you should not be.

Two opinions that were floated around shortly after the event:

And not a one of them was willing to defend American people or American soil..... no surprise there.

SGM- GEN Boykin's assessment is probably correct, IMO. I think it has been confirmed that the US was running weapons through Turkey to arm the Syrian rebels.

I have read that various places myself. I have not seen anyone official fess up to it yet though. Maybe that is why the CIA keeps hauling their agents back and putting them under the bright lights.
Honestly, the main thing I found noteworthy about the CNN article is that CNN was actually investigating the issue and they have yet to figure out how it was Bush's fault.
The funny thing is, if POTUS had sent in a rescue force to get our people out, this whole event would have been long forgotten (in the media) and the Adminstration could have concocted any story it chose to keep secrets secret.

Am confused...albeit, as a private citizen...I had heard that the polygraphs were monthly on the employees, to make sure the had NOT talked???:eek:
Indeed this whole thing smells and reeks of the big o not wanting to upset his Muslim followers around the world, imho.
Why can't we just calla spade a spade and announce this POS decision?:confused::mad:

Agree with you. This Administration's handling of the situation from the beginning has been handled with arrogance and disdain, for the American lives sacrificed, and then the citizens wanting to know what really happened and why this POTUS and this Administration let down those Americans in the Benghazi attack.
The MSM perpetuates Obama's mystique, but maybe the tide is turning and it will be more profitable to the MSM to bring the facts to light on this situation.

According to an ex-employee it was more like every 3 years.
Maybe more fequently depending on your job description.
Bush would visit soldiers in Walter Reed on the weekends he was in DC. Never let the press know.
This guy goes and hangs out with JZ and Beyonce when one of his Ambassadors is killed. Conspiracy or not, Obama is really sucking as a leader. At least Clinton managed the fucking place.

He's about the bling, showboating whatever you want to call it. He's flying like a G6.

This is exactly how I felt about Clinton vis a vis Obama. Clinton despite his liberal ways, saw the light in his second term and kept the boat afloat. This goof wants nothing more than to sink the whole ship so we all have to share a life boat.
