Benghazi and the truth still not optimal


In a follow up to a previous post, Candy Gram - Obama not optimal on Benghazi,
 on our President and his less than optimal response, cover up, of the Benghazi attacks, CBS news (after FOX News) has provided e-mails that were real time during the attack.


At 4:05 p.m. Eastern time, on September 11, an alert from the State Department Operations Center was issued to a number government and intelligence agencies. Included were the White House Situation Room, the office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the FBI.

"US Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack" -- "approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM (Chief of Mission/embassy) personnel are in the compound safe haven."

At 4:54 p.m., less than an hour later, another alert: "the firing... in Benghazi...has stopped...A response team is on site attempting to locate COM (embassy) personnel."

Then, at 6:07 p.m., State sent out another alert saying the embassy in Tripoli reported the Islamic military group "Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack"... "on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli."


Again, our President knew, his advisers knew, the Vice-President knew that is was not a video.  It was terrorism; an act committed on 9/11 of all days.  They knew and proceeded to tell the American people that it was just the result of a video; a video no one saw.

Lies.

This is not an optimal response from a sitting President.  A President that claims to be working hard to keep us safe from the terror in the world.  Who is keeping us safe from him?

I am voting to keep my family safe from 4 more years of betrayal.
