Judicial Watch: Defense, State Department Documents Reveal Obama Administration Knew that al Qaeda Terrorists Had Planned Benghazi Attack 10 Days in Advance
2015-05-19
Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained more than 100 pages of previously classified "Secret" documents from the Department of Defense (DOD)and the Department of State revealing that DOD almost immediately reported that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was committed by the al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood-linked "Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman" (BCOAR), and had been planned at least 10 days in advance. Rahman is known as the Blind Sheikh, and is serving life in prison for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other terrorist acts. The new documents also provide the first official confirmation that shows the U.S. government was aware of arms shipments from Benghazi to Syria. The documents also include an August 2012 analysis warning of the rise of ISIS and the predicted failure of the Obama policy of regime change in Syria.
Just finishing up "13 Hours." This revelation gives it additional poignancy.

#13  Gets better, at least for me personally ...

* MANILA TIMES > IS OSAMA BIN LADEN ALIVE AND LIVING IN THE PHILIPINES?

and

* TOPIX > [DefenceTalk News] XI TELLS KERRY: PACIFIC OCEAN IS BIG ENOUGH FOR BOTH CHINA AND US.

Yuup.

1960's-1970's Guam Taotamoanas would agree wid Xi Jinping - what they have issue with is iff the US-N-Only-US, "Unilateral/Strategic Retreat is OWG + World Peace" Globies did miscalculate, + the "WEAK/DECLINING" = "SELF-RETREATING" US does end up being DE FACTO EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED by its Geopol/MilPol Rivals + Wannabes, e.g. CHINA + NUCLEAR ISLAM, ETC. SUCH THAT THE RETREATING US DECIDES TO SINK GUAM + OTHER KEY PACIFIC ISLES IN ORDER TO DENY THEIR USE AS MILBASES TO CHINA + NUCLEAR ISLAM.

I'm telling Guam locals that the Taotamonas knew about Madonna, "JFK", Al Gore = GWCC, + Texas-sized Asetroids, ... ...@ETC. just as they know of Obama + TPP. AS PER GOD + THE "GREAT GAME" + MURPHY'S LAW, THE US IS N-O-T INVINCIBLE OR IMMUNE NO MATTER ITS LEVEL OF POWER-N-INFLUENCE.

#11  It's funny about the Turks.

#10  Alternatively, consider the meeting with the Turkish ambassador in the hours prior to the attack, the temporary nature of the embassy facility and security arrangements, the solidity of the annex, the presence of former SOF (under contract,) the seeming inability of the Libyan Transitional Government to respond, the corresponding seeming inability of the US embassy (and the USG) to react, et cetera.

#9  I obviously have no 'inside knowledge' KBK, so anything I say is purely speculation based on past observations. That being said, please think in terms of trainers and advisors, a weapons expert or two, possibly a Case Officer and source recruitment guy, possible two or three, linguists, liaison, and communications personnel, intelligence and security nugs. Probably a bit heavy on the security nugs in this instance. Some of these folks could easily be multi-hatted. It's what they do.

#8  OK, but what was going on in the CIA Annex in Benghazi? And who was doing the arms shipping to Syria?

#7  Mytake is that Stevens was picked for the ambassadorial position primarily due to his contacts with various factions in the Libyan rebellion.

Ye ole, time-tested hoo'ya knoe, hoo'ya bloe rule.
Sorry

Yes, on a scale of one to ten...probably a safe 9.5

#6  It's more likely that Stevens was supervising than obstructing.

Doubtful, at least based on the vast amount of open-source intel. My take is that Stevens was picked for the ambassadorial position primarily due to his contacts with various factions in the Libyan rebellion. Given the US Embassy in Tripoli's response during and after the attack, I'm not sure even he had any control or influence over operations in Benghazi.

#5  If the MSM reported that Hillary and Obama did not lie--now that would be news.

#3  Bets on Snowden type leaks days/weeks before State, cause we now know that they can't claim 'truthiness' and 'exclusivity' on the traffic anymore.
