White House Has No Comment on House GOPers' Assertions that Libyan Mission Requested Security Prior to 9/11/12 Attack<br /><br />White House press secretary Jay Carney declined to comment on an assertion by the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that requests from diplomats in Libya for added security prior to the September 11, 2012 attack on the diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, were denied.<br /><br />"I'm not going to get into a situation under review by the State Department and the FBI," Carney said.<br /><br />Earlier today, chairman of the committee Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, the chair of the subcommittee on national security, homeland defense, and foreign operations, wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, asserting that "multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the Committee that, prior to the September 11 (2012) attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these requests by officials in Washington."<br /><br /><a href='http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/white-house-has-no-comment-on-house-gopers-assertions-that-libyan-mission-requested-security-prior-to-91112-attack/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://abcnews.go.co...o-91112-attack/</a><br /><br /><a href='

“I’m not going to get into a situation under review by the State Department and the FBI,” Carney said.
apparently, the FBI hasnt even got into the compound yet? But CNN has it all wrapped up ??
-
yea John Stewart... oh well, ... but it has timeline clarity with the clips
-
-
I believe the FBI is being delayed because of the election.
Obamao has a hand in it, directly, or indirectly - doesn't matter.
It's poltiical expediency for the Obamao regime. It has sold out to hiding information,
quelching reports on various scandals....
and even executive priviledge to cover up.
Really not good.

And today you won't find the liberal media covering Obama and Bidens blame game on their foolish spin that our embassies were attacked and americans were murdered because of some silly video. Obama and Biden are liars and so is the liberal media.
And in tonights debate Biden lied again saying that they were never informed that the embassies requested more security,
-
-`My God, how does anybody with any integrity still support these dirtbags?
It's like listening to the Kremlin at the height of the cold war in the Soviet Union - "the best defense in a total disastrous regime is the lie your ass off"...
and hope enough really stupidass people will emotionally buy into the falsehoods without actually thinking.
"Perception is reality" - the credo of the worlds worst scum.
Not "American" liberals, the other worlds worst scum.

Axelrod vomits an explanation on Administration handling of Libya response.... It was said elsewhere that axelrod has a face you'd love to punch......
-
Axelrod is just another paid stooge. Reid, Higgardly, Pelosi, Carney...the list is very, very long.
But if disaster strikes our country across the board in terms of civil and economic strife... the little stooges will hide,
knowing that their corrupt self interest damaged our entire country.
won't be the first time in history....
-
The CIA knew within 24 hrs that it was an attack by MILITANTS, not any kind of reaction to the stupid video.
ObaMao lied, four people died.
Meanwhile, why WAS Stephens there?
rumor has it, that it was in regard to secret arms sales... to the militants. Al qaida.
By... ObaMao. We'll have to wait and see what the truth is, if ObaMao lets it be known...

The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month's deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam's Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press. http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20121020/NEWS02/310200025/CIA-knew-about-militants-attack-US-embassy-Libya?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CFrontpage%7Cs
Both Obama and Hillary played politics with this and now they are still lying

Cal - awesome to see what the A.P. stated, vs what the regime came out with later Friday afternoon regarding the CIA "talking points"
my bet thinks the CIA is protecting themselves by releasing this!

Well at least Hitlery fell on the grenade and took some responsibility, as the secretary of state. I think it was weasley of Obama to slip slide out of any responsibility but what else can you expect?

Well look what we are finding out in the news....... Obama wanted a hostage situation to boost his rating for his reelection and it backfired and Americans were murdered.
President Obama’s once seemingly unstoppable march toward re-election hit what he might call “bumps in the road” in Benghazi, Libya, late on Sept. 11, 2012. It might be more accurate to describe the effect of the well-planned and -executed, military-style attack on a diplomatic facility there as the political equivalent of a devastating improvised explosive device on the myth of the unassailability of the Obama record as commander in chief.
Thanks to intrepid investigative reporting — notably by Bret Baier and Catherine Herridge at Fox News, Aaron Klein at WND.com and Clare Lopez at RadicalIslam.org — and information developed by congressional investigators, the mystery is beginning to unravel with regard to what happened that night and the reason for the subsequent, clumsy official cover-up now known as Benghazigate.
The evidence suggests that the Obama administration has not simply been engaging, legitimating, enriching and emboldening Islamists who have taken over or are ascendant in much of the Middle East. Starting in March 2011, when American diplomat J. Christopher Stevens was designated the liaison to the “opposition” in Libya, the Obama administration has been arming them, including jihadists like Abdelhakim Belhadj, leader of the al Qaeda franchise known as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.
Once Moammar Gadhafi was overthrown, Stevens was appointed ambassador to the new Libya run by Mr. Belhadj and his friends. Not surprisingly, one of the most important priorities for someone in that position would be to try to find and secure the immense amount of armaments that had been cached by the dictator around the country and systematically looted during and after the revolution.
One of the places in Libya most awash with such weapons in the most dangerous of hands is Benghazi. It now appears that Stevens was there — on a particularly risky day, with no security to speak of and despite now copiously documented concerns about his own safety and that of his subordinates — for another priority mission: sending arms recovered from the former regime’s stocks to the “opposition” in Syria. As in Libya, the insurgents are known to include al Qaeda and other Shariah-supremacist groups, including none other than Abdelhakim Belhadj.
Fox News has chronicled how the Al Entisar, a Libyan-flagged vessel carrying 400 tons of cargo, docked on Sept. 6 in the Turkish port of Iskenderun. It reportedly supplied both humanitarian assistance and arms — including deadly SA-7 man-portable surface-to-air missiles — apparently destined for Islamists, again including al Qaeda elements, in Syria.
What cries out for further investigation — and debate in the remaining days of this presidential election — is whether this shipment was part of a larger covert Obama effort to transfer weapons to our enemies that could make the Iran-Contra scandal, to say nothing of Operation Fast and Furious, pale by comparison.
Investigative journalist Aaron Klein has reported that the “consulate in Benghazi” actually was no such thing. He observes that although administration officials have done nothing to correct that oft-repeated characterization of the facility where the murderous attack on Stevens and his colleagues was launched, they call it a “mission.” What Mr. Klein describes as a “shabby, nondescript building” that lacked any “major public security presence” was, according to an unnamed Middle Eastern security official, “routinely used by Stevens and others to coordinate with the Turkish, Saudi and Qatari governments on supporting the insurgencies in the Middle East, most prominently the rebels opposing Assad’s regime in Syria.”
We know that Stevens‘ last official act was to hold such a meeting with an unidentified “Turkish diplomat.” Presumably, the conversation involved additional arms shipments to al Qaeda and its allies in Syria. It also may have involved getting more jihadi fighters there. After all, Mr. Klein reported last month that, according to sources in Egyptian security, our ambassador was playing a “central role in recruiting jihadists to fight Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria.”
It gets worse. Last week, Center for Security Policy senior fellow and former career CIA officer Clare Lopez observed that there were two large warehouse-type buildings associated with the so-called “consulate” whose purpose has yet to be disclosed. As their contents were raided in the course of the attack, we may never know for sure whether they housed — and were known by the local jihadis to house — arms, perhaps administered by the two former Navy SEALs killed along with Stevens.
What we do know is that the New York Times — one of the most slavishly pro-Obama publications in the country — reported in an Oct. 14 article, “Most of the arms shipped at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to supply Syrian rebel groups fighting the government of Bashar Assad are going to hard-line Islamic jihadists, and not the more secular opposition groups that the West wants to bolster.”
In short, it seems President Obama has been engaged in gun-walking on a massive scale. The effect has been to equip America’s enemies to wage jihad not only against regimes it once claimed were our friends, but inevitably against us and our allies as well. That would explain his administration’s desperate and now failing bid to mislead the voters through the serial deflections of Benghazigate.

Obama reminds me of the smiler from 'transmetropolitan' I don't expect you guys would know that and its too bad because its appropriate. I expect something bad to happen to someone "important" to him just in time for election day.

Exactly what I alluded to earlier. More security would have not kept it a hush hush op.
Dirty tricks demand a limited scope of people involved.
