Bigger than Watergate: Proof that the President is Lying about Benghazi?
Posted

Having a back
and forth with a former legendary Delta operator. Here is the gist of
what he is implying:
The
news is breaking today but there is a small bit that is being overlooked.
According to the statements from Fox News:
The
security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly
requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by
U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams
on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex
went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in
Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned
that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among
them Delta Force operators.
Everyone
is reporting this but they are missing a key point. From the
retired Delta operator:
Having spent a good bit of time nursing
a GLD (ground Laser Designator) in several garden spots around the world,
something from the report jumped out at me.
One of the former SEALs was actively
painting the target. That means that Specter WAS ON STATION!
Probably an AC130U. A ground laser designator is not a briefing pointer
laser. You do not "paint" a target
until the weapons system/designator is synched; which means that the AC130 was
on station.
Only two places could have called off
the attack
at that point; the WH situation command (based on POTUS direction) or AFRICOM
commander based on information directly from the target area.
If the AC130 never left Sigonella (as
Panetta says) that means that the Predator that was filming the whole thing was
armed.
If that SEAL was actively
"painting" a target; something was on station to engage! And
the decision to stand down goes directly to POTUS!
This is far
bigger than Watergate.
The second worst
feeling in the world has to be the platform crew being desperately asked for
help, given a clear target and then having to stand down and watch your fellow
Americans die.
The worst has to
be the team on the ground knowing that the President just left you to die.
Update: Even with two Predators on station, one unarmed and
filming and one armed, the call to stand down comes from the same sources.

Earlier today, Bob Owens at PJ Media posts about the responsibility of the
order to call off the mission as well as some good info about the AC130s on
station:
AC-130U Gunship
was On-Scene in Benghazi, Obama Admin Refused to Let It Fire (Updated)
If you don’t get
torches-and-pitchforks irate about this, you
are not an American:
The security
officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested
back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special
Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground
involved in intense firefights.
The fighting at
the CIA annex went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes
based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also
learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait,
among them Delta Force operators.
There were two
AC-130Us deployed to Libya in March as part of Operation Unified Protector.
The AC-130U is a
very effective third-generation fire-support aircraft, capable of continuous
and extremely accurate fire onto multiple targets. It has been used numerous
times in Iraq and Afghanistan to save pinned-down allied forces, and has even
been credited with the surrender of the Taliban city of Kunduz
It was
purpose-built for a select number of specific mission types, including
point-defense against enemy attack. It was literally built for the kind of
mission it could have engaged in over Benghazi, if the administration had let
it fire. As the excerpt above clearly shows, we had assets on the ground
“painting” the targets with the laser.
An AC-130U flies
in a counter-clockwise “pivot turn” around the target, with the weapons all
aimed out the left side of the aircraft.
There are two
state-of-the-art fire-control systems (FCSs) in a AC-130U, using television
sensors, infrared sensors, and synthetic aperture strike radar. These fire
control systems can see through the dark of night, clouds, and smoke.
The two FCSs on
the AC-130U control a 25mm Gatling gun for area suppression, a precision 40mm
cannon, and a 105mm cannon which can engage hard targets.
What this means
is that we have the forces in the air and on the ground to have stopped the
attack at any point,
eliminating the terrorists and saving American lives.

I see the Republican 'wall of sound' is with US in full force once again...
Forget investigating those who engineered this treasonous plot and psy-op to oust a POTUS.
Make enough sound-byte noise and just like 9/11 the pitchforks will come out and do their work to distract and manipulate the minds of the ignorant.
Which is to say, yet another US election has been tampered with and Democracy has been beaten once again.
This sort of treachery is beyond disgusting.
I guess the GOP will do ANYTHING for a payday.
Including commit treason.
Good luck in the new old fascist regime.
The one that's in place since the Kennedy assassination.
Republicans, not happy destroying their own party have destroyed MY Democratic party too along with this once great nation...
That's what happens when we let the mafia run things...
You worthless parasitic bastards in both parties can all just go to hell.
Leave US... Please just leave US be.
Time for the American people to roll up their shirt sleeves and do the work needed. TIME TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH.
