Benghazi Alert: Syrian Sideshow Hides New FOIA Report Obama White House Let Them Die

Too Hot to Handle: Obama “Pulling the Plug” on the Benghazi Investigation
Benghazi Alert: Syrian Sideshow Hides New FOIA Report Obama White House Let Them Die

“In the last two months, it has become clear that the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood played a role in the attack on Benghazi. Documents obtained have detailed that money, men and planning came out of Morsi’s administration in Egypt...
This administration has been funding and arming the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood to the teeth. In early 2012, Obama bypassed Congress to give them $1.5 billion. Then eleven months ago, just weeks after the attack, this administration tried to give Morsi $450 million; which Congress moved to block.
Now we need to ask, was this $450 payment in further support of Democracy, was this hush money or was it payment for a job completed? Perhaps the investigation leads back to Egypt and that is why the ops team is really being pulled out? 
Hillary Clinton’s shouted question, ‘What difference, at this point, does it make?’ is louder than ever, because if it does track back to Egypt it might spell impeachment for Obama and an end to a 2016 run for her.”

Buried beneath the Syrian crisis coverage, the Mainstream Media ignores a shocking FOIA report that states conclusively that the United States had trained resources on hand to assist and defend Americans under attack during the Benghazi Massacre – as well as evidence of the White House stonewalling CBS investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson. 
The fact that the Obama White House “let them die” leads to the logical assumption then, that it in fact “wanted them dead.”
(…. there were two separate resources available the night of the attack but neither were activated to save our personnel nor were they used to secure the crime scene.)

Benghazi FOIA Exclusive Report:
“No-notice” U.S. Marine assets never sent to help Americans during Benghazi or to secure crime scene—Syria at stake
Urgent.
The road to war with Syria, Russia, Iran and China can be tracked back to the Benghazi attack and cover-up.
A Freedom of Information Act Request (FOIA) provides more evidence that the Obama administration declined to activate available possible life-saving help in the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith –and thwarted the FBI investigation thereby aiding the perpetrators escape from justice.
There were two U S Marine Corps response options that were never called in or deployed to Benghazi– Marine Corps Embassy Security Group / Marine Security Guard [MCESG/MSG] and Marine Fleet Antiterrorism Security Teams [FAST].
According to The information Paper obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) states:
“The response time to any emergency is predicated by many factors such as time of day, advance notice or no-notice, current activities, and the locations of off-duty members of the detachments. The MSGs [Marine Security Guard] conduct a minimum of two no-notice drills per month, but most detachments conduct more drills than the minimum standard. The MSGs train to respond to protests, mass casualty/bombings, intruders, and fire and bomb threats/searches. This response training is conducted at all hours and usually will include the State Department Regional Security Officer (RSO) or his deputy as well as the MCESG detachment.
In terms of FAST … their alert posture is predicated on combatant commander requirements according to threat reporting and assessment. By order of the Secretary of Defense [then Leon Panetta], the dedicated EUCOM FAST Company supports commander US Africa Command for crisis response and contingency situations. An example of this is the FAST Platoon currently deployed as a crisis response force to the US Embassy, Tripoli – it was sourced from the EUCOM FAST Company  LINK

FOIA’s Denied
FOIA’s filed by CBS’ Sharyl Attkisson related to Benghazi were denied.  PJ media covered her string of tweets detailing that the FBI told her she cannot have any information – not even a single page. Attkisson also requested photos from the White House of the situation room that night, like the ones taken for the Bin Laden raid. To date, the White House has not responded to that request.  You’d think a big event like that would have been photographed and put in the Situation Room Album.
A different FOIA request brought to light confirmation that there were two separate resources available the night of the attack but neither were activated to save our personnel nor were they used to secure the crime scene.
According to a Libya-Egypt-Yemen Smart Pack dated September 13, 2012, obtained via FOIA, that was assembled after the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attack to answer “RFIs” [Request for Information] from Congress:
“A [Marine Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team] FAST platoon deployed to Libya yesterday (12 Sep 12) to provide security for the US Embassy in Tripoli …  FAST companies maintain forward-deployed platoons at various naval commands around the globe and possess US-based alert forces capable of rapidly responding to unforeseen contingencies worldwide … FAST platoons are primarily designed to conduct defensive combat operations, military security operations, and rear area security operations in response to approved requests (emphasis mine).”
So the obvious question is why was a FAST platoon deployed to Tripoli, Libya the day after the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi and not sent to Benghazi when the call for help came in or to secure the crime scene and allow the FBI to do their jobs instead of keeping them out for nearly a month compromising and contaminating the evidence? – Via GatewayPundit
More on this revelation and a copy of the related FOIA document can be found at MarinkaPeschmann.com
Remember, CNN managed to get there and pick through the rubble of an “unsecured crime scene” right after the attack. It was weeks before an FBI team was even sent to investigate – the administration conveniently never mentioned that they had other resources to secure the scene. CNN found Steven’s diary as the basis for stories the network ran before turning it over and that the diary detailed that the Ambassador knew he was on an Al Qaeda hit list. Hillary Clinton denied knowledge of the Al Qaeda claim, but it has become clear the Ansar Al Sharia, an Al Qaeda linked group, was responsible for the attack. Also, just this week we’ve learned that the Al Qaeda linked Jihadists who carried out the attack in Benghazi are training the Syrian rebels.
Ops Team Pulled Out Of Benghazi
We’re just a few weeks from the one year anniversary of the attack and the Obama administration is pulling the plug on the investigation with the withdrawal of the team in Libya.
Question: “Are you going to let these men get away with murder?”
Answer: “Crickets.   LINK
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi meets with United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in New York on September 24, 2012.

FOX News reported; emphasis added:
“Two weeks after the Obama administration announced charges against suspects in the Benghazi attack, a large portion of the U.S. team that hunted the suspects and trained Libyans to help capture or kill them is leaving Libya permanently.
Special operators in the region tell Fox News that while Benghazi targets have been identified for months, officials in Washington could “never pull the trigger.” In fact, one source insists that much of the information on Benghazi suspects had been passed along to the White House after being vetted by the Department of Defense and the State Department — and at least one recommendation for direct action on a Benghazi suspect was given to President Obama as recently as Aug. 7.
Meanwhile, months after video, photo and voice documentation on the Benghazi suspects was first presented to high-level military leaders, the State Department and ultimately the White House, prison breaks in the country have eroded security.
U.S. special forces have now been relegated to a “villa,” a stopover for the operators before they’re shipped out of the country entirely.”
About that prison break… anywhere from 1,100 to 1,200 were reported to have escaped from Benghazi’s Kuafiya prison. Officials said the break was two sided, with riots on the outside and inside of the prison.  Clearly, this was organized and timed.
At the same time, attacks on political offices in the city and a protests centered around the killing of a Muslim Brotherhood activist. These protests provided ample cover for the escaping prisoners and are likely linked. Officials blamed the protests on citizens in the area who didn’t like the prison.
That implies it was merely coincidence that the jailbreak and the protests happened at the same time. Sure, whatever. 
“Protesters had massed across the country angry over the killing of an activist critical of the country’s Muslim Brotherhood group.
“There was a riot inside Al-Kuafiya prison, as well as an attack from outside. More than 1,000 prisoners escaped,” the official said on Saturday, asking not to be named.
“Special forces called in as reinforcements were given orders not to fire at the prisoners.”
Suleiman El-Dressi, a journalist in Benghazi, told Al Jazeera that according to security sources, “the prisoners exploited the turmoil that was happening in the city and tried to escape”.
“Three were shot dead, and the others managed to get away.”
The official said most of the escapees were common law detainees, including nationals of other African states.
“But some of them were detainees in cases linked to the former regime of Muammar Gaddafi,” he said.
Several were recaptured shortly after the breakout.
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan confirmed the incident, without giving the number of fugitives.
“Residents of the area carried out the attack because they don’t want the prison near their homes,” he said, adding that border posts had been alerted and given a list of names to apprehend the escapees.
Zeidan earlier announced that border posts with Egypt had been closed to prevent the escape of the killers of a prominent activist in the eastern Libyan city on Friday.”
In the last two months, it has become clear that the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood played a role in the attack on Benghazi. Documents obtained have detailed that money, men and planning came out of Morsi’s administration in Egypt. Town Hall reported, emphasis added:
“On Wednesday June 26, 2013 reports began to pop up across the Arabic world citing an internal Libyan government memo that has not yet been acknowledged in the American press.
The memo is pictured here:
Multiple sources have confirmed this document details several confessions of the six Egyptians in Libyan custody for the 9.11.12 bombing of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
The document details the involvement of the Muslim Brotherhood and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi as being involved with and in the funding, support, planning, and execution of the attack.
What is unique about this document is that its content wasn’t leaked to the press in some sort of salacious move. This is simply an interdepartmental memo from the Libyan National Security offices in Tripoli to the Ministry of the Interior. Written solely as a perfunctory after-action report as the results of the Libyan investigation in the events of that night.
It was prepared by Mahmoud Ibrahim Sharif, the Director of National Security of Libya.
In his report Sharif conveys that the Libyan investigation unearthed an Egyptian (terror) cell that had been involved in the planning and execution of the attack. Six confessions from those arrested at the scene–all of them Egyptian–and all connected to the U.S. terror watch listed group Ansar al-Sharia.”

“The investigation also seems to have unearthed a video taken the night of the attack in which members of the jihadists identify themselves as being sent personally by "Dr. Morsi."
If in fact Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was even remotely involved, tacitly aware, or even seen giving nodding approval, why on earth did President Obama turn around and deliver 16 fighter jets and 200 tanks to the Egyptian regime roughly three months later?
Why was Morsi invited to the White House in September 2012? Then invited for December 5, 2012? Then February 2013, then March? Why does his visit get continually postponed as though the White House seems to know something about him and his visit that they are not comfortable with?
Why was the President so thoroughly unreachable when the attack took place, and for a period of six to eight hours, incapable of accounting for where he was as the worst of it played out?
Why did Hillary Clinton give her support to the Brotherhood's pet project at the United Nations--to declare blasphemy of Islam a global crime?
Why did the Obama White House and the National Security Council meet with and host a Muslim Brotherhood radical on June 13, 2013? (Who is the personal assistant to a terrorist so extreme his presence is not even allowed in the U.S.?) And only confess to it when it finally is reported by the press?
And why does the current administration have as many as a half dozen mid to upper level appointees that have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood--either directly or through Brotherhood member organizations?
If you thought the answer the White House gave us on the IRS targeting of conservative groups was lame, wait till we get answers to these questions! “

So confirmation comes that Obama’s Arab Spring Partners, Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were major players in the attack on our Mission in Benghazi that ended in the murder of four of our citizens.
This administration has been funding and arming the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood to the teeth. In early 2012, Obama bypassed Congress to give them $1.5 billion. Then eleven months ago, just weeks after the attack, this administration tried to give Morsi $450 million; which Congress moved to block.
Now we need to ask, was this $450 payment in further support of Democracy, was this hush money or was it payment for a job completed? Perhaps the investigation leads back to Egypt and that is why the ops team is really being pulled out? 
Hillary Clinton’s shouted question, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” is louder than ever, because if it does track back to Egypt it might spell impeachment for Obama and an end to a 2016 run for her.
