Geraldo Continues Obama False Narrative Over Benghazi

'Eric Bolling Explodes At Geraldo Over Obama's Response To Benghazi, Hangs Up MidInterview' was the headline from an article posted on the Fiscal Conservative which included the radio clip where Geraldo Rivera and some other ass clown (Elliot Spitzer) were pushing the long dis-proved lies of the Administration in an attempt to divert from the facts that Obama gave a stand down order which led to the deaths of at least two Americans. Americans who held off Islamic Terrorist's for 7 hours waiting on an American military response.   Make no mistake about it, a stand down order was given, it had to come from the President as he is the only one with that authority.

Fox News Channel hosts Eric Bolling and Geraldo Rivera blew up at each other on Rivera's radio program on Tuesday amid an argument over the appropriateness of President Barack Obama's response to the attacks on American diplomatic and service personnel in Benghazi in 2012. Bolling and Rivera battled over Obama's personal culpability in the attacks until Bolling hung up after being accused by Rivera of alleging that the president was "a damn murderer."

Rivera opened the interview by criticizing Bolling's focus on Obama's actions on the night of the attack. He said that Bolling is buying into a "false narrative" suggesting that Obama was personally disengaged on the night of the attack. Bolling said that there are multiple legitimate questions relating to the administration's response to the Benghazi attack, including who gave the order to not respond to the second attack and why the White House first blamed the attack on a YouTube video.

Bolling said that the military abandoned its 237-year-old motto to "leave no one behind." "You just heard Eric Bolling make an inflammatory statement alleging the worst kind of comment by the president and the secretary," Rivera said to former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. "It's not alleging. It's what happened," Bolling fired back. "There's nothing alleged about that, Geraldo." "What you're alleging is an intentional failure to intervene when they had the opportunity to do that," Spitzer agreed.

Bolling contested that he ever said that either President Obama or former Sec. Hillary Clinton gave the order to "stand down," but that order was given. Rivera asked Bolling "what movie are you watching" to make such a claim? The group exploded when Rivera said that Bolling was making Obama "look like a damn murderer."

Bolling asserted that a "verbal stand-down order was given" on the night of the Benghazi attack. "You made that up," Rivera contested. "I'm not doing this," Bolling fired back. "These are the facts. You guys can look them up and I'll talk to you about it next week." At this point, Bolling hung up the phone.

Spitzer and Rivera concluded that there was no evidence to suggest that Obama personally acted in bad faith on the night of the Benghazi attack.

Obama Scandals - Which Is Worst?



Few leaders have amassed a record of defending state sovereignty like Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.  He has filed close to two dozen lawsuits filed against the illegitimate power grabs of the Obama Administration. He has taken on burdensome EPA regulations and succeeded. He fought ObamaCare all the way to the United States Supreme Court. He has stood on the solid ground of the 10th Amendment to protect local classrooms, and individual freedom.

Now from Greg Abbott's website you can vote on which Obama Scandal is the worst.

President Obama’s friends in the mainstream media are running out of rugs to sweep his scandals under. They may not want to talk about this culture of corruption, but Texans will spread the word and demand justice.

VOTE: which of the Obama Administration’s scandals is the most shocking?

1. IRS targeting conservative and religious groups

2. Benghazi

3. Fast and Furious

4. AP wiretapping

5. Solyndra boondoggle

I voted for Benghazi being the biggest scandal as lives were lost and Obama broke the covenenat that any competent Commander in Chief must have with those he sends in harm's way. However, there are even more scandals that did not make the short list:

6. HHS Scandal - Allowing Secretary Seilbelius to ask for donations from the medical industry and insruance companies in order to fund Obamacare.

7. Allowing the EPA to enact regulation after regulation when they do not have the Constitutional power to enact laws with penalities.

8. Allowing terrorists from the Muslim Brotherhood to visit the White House - Are you kidding me!!!

U.S. Military: We Could Have Saved Ambassador Stevens

An article on American Thinker by By Jonathon Moseley. This article is absolutely clear on the issue. We had forces that could have responded to Banghazi and in time to save lives. Every senior military leader knows this as well as does thousands of service members. The Politicians lied. Obama, Panetta, Dempsey, etc., THEY ALL LIED.

Elite U.S. troops were completely capable of saving Ambassador Chris Stevens during the Benghazi Consulate attacks on September 11, 2012. Elements of the highly specialized Combatant Commanders In-Extremis (CIF) units are always on alert, on forward deployment, ready to respond. Their job description is to hit the ground in 3 to 5 hours. CIF elements are ready to engage in active combat anywhere in their region, 3 to 5 hours after the call.

Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense at the time, either misled the U.S. Congress or was incompetent. Panetta testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on February 7, 2013 that the U.S. military could not have responded in less than 9 to 12 hours.

Obama's first secretary of defense, Robert Gates, told CBS's Face the Nation on May 12, 2013 that "[w]e don't have a ready force standing by" in that region.

But we absolutely do "have a ready force standing by" to reach any trouble spot in a few hours. Insider reports previously revealed that CIF elements were training in Croatia and could have been in Benghazi in three and a half hours.

Although rotating out of the United States, some CIF elements are always forward-deployed within each military command region, always on stand-by. Their training includes expertise within each local region. Some of each region's unit is always ready. They don't need to pack. Being ready to go -- immediately -- is their job description. It's the reason they exist.

The U.S. military has developed a range of capabilities, from CIF teams to the Navy SEALs, to Rangers, to Green Berets. But now many in the special forces/special operators community feel betrayed. Commanders in Extremis units are so highly trained and expert that even elite Green Berets wash out of the highly demanding CIF training in large numbers.

Standard military doctrine is to activate all such resources immediately, even if they are ultimately not used. Military's plans require getting such teams in the air and on the way, not waiting to see if they will be needed.

So Panetta's and Gates's statements to the public violate standard military protocol. Leon Panetta telegraphed to our enemies an image of incompetence of U.S. forces. Panetta's testimony was an insult to the U.S. military. Elite forces go through constant, grueling training to be able to do what Panetta and Gates say they cannot do. One of the purposes of "special operators" is deterrence. Panetta and Gates undermined that deterrence.

The U.S. military perfected capabilities after the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000, the 2008 U.S. Embassy bombing in Yemen, and similar events. Gates emphasized the need for planning; Commanders in Extremis forces plan constantly for all contingencies.

CIF units answer directly to the general for each regional command to eliminate delay. Therefore, if AFRICOM -- the U.S. military's regional command for matters involving Africa -- had actually wanted to rescue Ambassador Stevens -- and the classified secrets in the Consulate -- the AFRICOM general would have communicated directly with the CIF team on forward deployment in the region.

Panetta testified that the U.S. military could not react because they didn't know the situation on the ground in Benghazi. In fact, two unmanned drones were overhead, sending real-time video, including infrared and night-vision cameras, back to the national command authority. Everyone but Panetta seems to know how dumb Panetta's statement was.

Panetta testified that we should not send in aircraft without knowing what is happening on the ground. Au contraire. You send in the correct aircraft to find out what is going on. It's called reconnaissance. The U.S. Air Force has been conducting reconnaissance since World War I (then as part of the U.S. Army). Unless maybe our leaders don't want to know.

In fact, it is reported that CIF elements assigned to AFRICOM were already mobilizing and preparing to respond in Southern Europe. But they were ordered to stand down. It is believed they were mobilizing at a U.S./NATO air base in Sigonella, Italy, near Naples.

Sigonella air base is only 475 miles from Benghazi. Fighter jets from Sigonella could have been above Benghazi in 20 minutes from takeoff at the F-16's maximum speed of 1,500 miles per hour. Transports and gunships could have reached the Consulate in 90 minutes from take-off.

F-16s can carry fuel for a flight of 2,000 nautical miles. So the 475-mile flight from Sigonella would have left enough fuel for an hour of operations over the Consulate in Benghazi plus a flight to Andravida Air Base in Greece, only 405 miles away, to land and refuel. Greece is a NATO partner. Later waves could have refueled first in Andravida, 405 miles away.

Meanwhile, the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis and its battle group were within range to assist the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette was relieved of command and flown back to the States on undisclosed allegations of inappropriate judgment, as reported in the military's Stripes magazine. It is widely believed within the U.S. military that Admiral Gaouette was mobilizing a response to come to the aid of Ambassador Stevens but was ordered to stand down. The allegation of "inappropriate judgment" was that Admiral Gaoutte insisted on mounting a rescue, leading to sharp words being exchanged.

Gregory Hicks, Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya, immediately tasked his embassy defense attaché with calling for help from the U.S. military. According to Hicks's testimony on May 8, AFRICOM told the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli that the U.S. airbase in Aviano, Italy could have F-16s over Benghazi in 2-3 hours but that there were no aerial tankers in the area to refuel the F-16s.

That excuse rings false. Throughout Europe, U.S.-compatible standard refueling tankers are always available. That's why they exist. NATO exists so that all NATO countries will come to the aid of any of their fellows when

Furthermore, why Aviano? Sigonella was roughly half the distance. Sigonella's F-16s could have reached Benghazi in 20 minutes from wheels up, conducted action above the Consulate, and returned to Italy or Greece with fuel to spare. Remember: a "spotter" from the Benghazi CIA annex was on the roof of the Consulate, "laser designating" the attackers' mortar team and reporting by radio.

Gates also commented that U.S. F-16s could not have simply buzzed the Benghazi Consulate to scare away the attackers because of the risk of anti-aircraft missiles. Hogwash. For months the year before the U.S. Air Force and NATO jets had strafed and bombed the Libyan military and decimated its anti-aircraft weaponry. And since when are members of the U.S. military afraid to come to the defense of civilians because someone might hurt them?

Even liberal columnist Maureen Dowd commented: "The defense secretary at the time, Leon Panetta, insisted, 'We quickly responded.' But they responded that they would not respond." Dowd sums it up: "All the factions wove their own mythologies at the expense of our deepest national mythology: that if there is anything, no matter how unlikely or difficult, that we can do to try to save the lives of Americans who have volunteered for dangerous assignments, we must do it."

Judge Jeanine on the Benghazi Coverup

Judge Jeanine Pirro, who attended this week's Congressional hearing on Benghazi, says the testimony she witnessed proved President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are lying and she pull no punches about it.

Wow! Imagine being in front of Judge Jeanine Pirro as a defendant,..........no thanks. I'd rather gouge my eye out with a spoon.

Latest on the Benghazi Coverup

The Latest on the Benghazi Coverup It seems like with each new day, new facts are exposed on the depth of the Obama coverup for him and his Administrations failures following the terrorist attack on our consulate on Benghazi, Libya where our Ambassador and three embassy employees were killed.

Now with the release of several e-mails showing that in almost real time, Obama and his key leaders knew this was a terrorist attack. The reasons eluded us for a time. We knew that the terrorist attacks would undermine Obama's message that he has defeated Al Qaeda as well as require some U.S. response which would place Obama at odds with his radical Islamist buddies. But it still didn't make sense,...why risk the election on trying to portray this as a popular demonstration gone deadly following some stupid anti-Muslim videos.

Now further information has been exposed providing a much better reason for the attempted coverup. Because 1 - the Obama Adminstration was requested to approve an upgrade in security due to threat streams and that security aproval never happened being stymied at the White House, and 2 - Obama did nothing during the attacks when the possibility exists that the Ambassador and three Americans may have still been alive seven hours after the start of the attack.




Obama administration ass clowns Leon Panetta (DoD Secretary) and General Dempsey (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs) were called to help damage control after facts came out that the military had assets including Navy jets and helicopters, plus Special Operatons Troops within one hour or so from the Benghazi target area.

Obama is also reeling from another fact that a reconnaissance drone was overhead observing and providing live feeds of the entire attack.

The vision of cockroaches scrambling for cover has recently been re-newed with Panetta and Dempsey holding a joint conference where they put forth many diverse excuses for the lack f military response including: "The basic principle is that you don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on,....without having some real-time information about what's taking place," Panetta said. Really!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! You had real time e-mail reports and a dam drone over the consulate!!!

Then the final nail in the coffin of this administration, or what some commentators call misfeasance on a scale 1,000 times more than the Fast and Furious gun running scandal,....is that Secretary of State Clinton had requested an approval to upgrade security at the Libyan Facilities and that request went un-acted upon, or disapproved by the White House.

This should bring down the Administration. Due to the deaths of Americans and the Adminstration (Obama, Biden, Clinton and UN Rep Rice) lying about all steps before, during and after the terrorist attacks, there should be impreachment proceedings and resignations forthcoming right now!
