“13 Hours” – the CIA LIES for Clinton & Obama

13 HOURS MovieThe Michael Bay film, “13 Hours,” based on the book “13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi” by Mitchell Zuckoff, opened last month on January 15th and, unfortunately, I hadn’t been able to see the movie because I am not yet sufficiently mobile from my surgery.

I was able to see it late last night, Saturday, at the very final showing at a local theatre.  With the assistance of my Wifely Wife and her sister, the knee scooter was loaded into the Kraut Kar and off we went.

Essentially, the film and the book make liars and fools out of Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The team’s CIA station chief told the Washington Post the stand-down order “is fiction and the film is flat-out wrong.”  Further, the CIA says that the film is “shameful and a distortion of the events and people who served in Benghazi that night.”

Juan Williams also believes the film and the book are fabrications.

What is sad is that American journalists yuck it up over the deaths of four Americans in Libya.  Somehow Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Officer Sean Smith and former SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods get forgotten.  [Watergate brought down a presidency where no one was killed.  Contrast and compare this to Benghazi, and its lies then and now.]

Benghazi A Phony ScandalWhen I wrote this post initially a few weeks ago, three of the actual operators who responded to the Benghazi call for assistance, Kristian “Tanto” Paronto, John “Tig” Tiegen, and Mark “Oz” Geist were interviewed on the Megyn Kelly show.  They unequivocally stated that they were told to stand down by CIA representatives.

These GRS (Global Response Services) employees, former soldiers and private security contractors hired as security elements, provided protection in austere and high-threat environments for the Central Intelligence Agency.

“This is the true story you were never told.”

Part of what you didn’t know is that the six GRS contractors were at the CIA annex, less than a mile from the Benghazi consulate.  You saw that clearly illustrated in the film “13 Hours.”  They could hear the distress calls over the radio.  The CIA station chief at that annex told the GRS contractors repeatedly to “stand down.”

Benghazi Consulate & AnnexAll three operators interviewed on The Kelly File specifically remembered the CIA station chief pointedly telling them, to their faces, to “stand down.”  A deputy chief, chief of base and a team leader saying “stand down.”

“If you guys don’t get over here, we’re all gonna fucking die,” radioed the State Department people at the Benghazi, Libya consulate to anyone who was listening.

The contractors decided to “buck orders and we left.”

All the operators testified to this in DC.

Do the operators believe the men who died would be alive today if the US had responded appropriately from the beginning?  They expected assistance from the US government that never came.  Why do they think four Americans paid the ultimate price?

First, they were looking for air support.  Instead, an unmanned drone was sent.  And the drone footage was useless because it was 30 seconds behind what was occurring in real time on the ground.  Do you remember the issue regarding staffers watching the drone over Benghazi as the assault occurred?

Benghazi Watched Them DieALL of the operators believe everyone would be alive today had they been allowed to respond when they were asked.  Unequivocally.  They all said it in front of Megyn Kelly.

When told the CIA response was they were never told to stand down, the operators said “that’s just silly.”  “Somehow they don’t want to believe that we were told to stand down.  They believe everything else.”

Megyn Kelly asked: “Do you have a political motive?”

They said the politics is what prompted them to go public.  The lies and the disinformation and the obfuscation.

Was it about a video?  And who is lying?  Hillary Clinton says “it’s not me.”  Meaning the operators were lying and the surviving family members are lying.

Hillary Clinton is denying once again that she told family members of Benghazi attack victims that a video was to blame for the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks — leaving only the possibility that the families are either lying or grossly mistaken about what the then-secretary of state told them in private.

The family members have publicly disputed Clinton’s claims, saying that the then-secretary of state explicitly blamed the film that day and said that she would go after the maker of the film, which many Muslims considered offensive.

Hillary Clinton blamed the non-existent “protests” and consulate attack on a ridiculous internet video.  This was wrong but Hillary Clinton went there anyway, in her official statement.

Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.

Susan Rice carried the absurdist video meme to all the Sunday news shows following the Tuesday 9-11-2012 attack. Judicial Watch discovered:

A newly released email collected by Judicial Watch in response to a FOIA request shows the White House pushed Ambassador Susan Rice to promote the idea that an internet video mocking Islam, not President Obama’s foreign policy, was responsible for attacks in the Middle East, including the one in Benghazi.

Despite the fact that Hillary Clinton already knew the attack had nothing to do with a video.

“I believe to this day the video played a role.”

Obama and Jay Carney blamed the Benghazi attack on a poorly-produced video.  Obama knew this was false.

Clinton’s official statement was belied by an email she sent to her daughter the night of September 11th and a phone call she made to the Egyptian prime minister, where she said the attack was perpetrated by al Qaeda.

Hillary Clinton Email to Chelsea Re Benghazi AttackDiane Reynolds, by the way, is an alias for daughter Chelsea.

This was a naked attempt by the administration to make Americans feel guilty about their concerns involving Muslims.  A distraction built upon American guilt.

Hillary Clinton made her first statements already knowing there were no protests and that the video had nothing to do with the assault.

We are going to have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of your son.”

That filmmaker was Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, creator of “The Innocence of Muslims.”  He spent time in prison because of Obama and Clinton’s false accusations, on a parole violation.

“Someone is lying here, Mrs Clinton; who is it?”

Hillary Clinton: “not me.”

Further, she was fully on board with hanging the blame for the shabby video “The Innocence of Muslims”

Megyn Kelly: “How true to life is the film?”

Paronto: “It brought home a lot of the truths that we went through.  I’d go back there in a heartbeat.”

We think that perhaps someone like an Ed Gein or a John Wayne Gacy or a Richard Daumer or a Hannibal Lecter is a sociopath?

I submit that Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama are both damaging, violent psychopaths.  Sociopaths.  They both have American blood on their hands.

And why?  This?

And this?

The American Media Maggots have done their level best to minimize and denigrate the validity of this movie which means, by extension, the AMM mean to minimize and denigrate the sacrifices of our Sheepdogs. In order to protect their Leftist Masters.

All for political ends.

Meaning: in the true end, those four men who died in Benghazi were nothing more than little chess pieces moved about the ObamaLand board during his eight year attempt to kick America in the slats.

I am so glad I was able to see the film before it left theaters.

Every American should see the film if for no other reason than to realize that, yes, American is truly exceptional and, yes, there is true domestic evil in the world.

Thursday GOP debates: who “won”?

GOP Debate, Fox, 1-28-20161. Small Table Debate:

The small table debate, held first, was moderated by Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum and consisted of Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Jim Gilmore.

There is only one clear winner: Carly Fiorina.  Period.  The three others simply need to go away as rapidly as possible.  I think that may be a self-fulfilling prophecy within, say, two weeks max.  None of them are going to pull Iowa.

2. Main Debate:

In the second debate, Bret Baier, Chris Wallace and Megyn Kelly moderated, and the big table cast included Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Rand Paul and Jim Gilmore.  Who?

As expected, Gilmore was entirely unimpressive.  One must also question his sanity as, at this late stage, he somehow thinks he has a chance at becoming the GOP nominee for president.

Kasich was acidic and unlikeable.  Carson was likeable but vastly over his pate.  Paul is going nowhere.  His fans are even more annoying than he is.  All three need to go away.

Christie was the healing assembler he’s tended to be in the past.  I could live with Christie.  “The days of the Clintons in public housing are over.”  “That is why you need the Washinton-to-English converter.”

The focus this time around revolved around the nascent sorting-out of Cruz and Rubio.  Both made points.  Both were confronted by Megyn Kelly with prior statements in conflict with their current positions.  Both stammered and both came through. Conventional wisdom is that Rubio is ascending.  I go along with that.

Jeb Bush did well overall; certainly better than previous debates.  But Bush is still who he is, a squish.  I will not put another Bush in the White House as I will never put another Clinton in the White House.

I am biased.  I just like Cruz.  He’s extremely smart and even pisses off Republicans because he is single-minded.  Yes, Cruz got bopped, Cruz got testy, Cruz got booed.  Cruz had his opportunity to shine more, but didn’t quite pull that off.  Call me wacky.  I am biased.

My top three descend in this order:

  1. Cruz
  2. Rubio
  3. Christie

Statistics from a current Drudge Report poll post-debate.

Drudge Report GOP PollCruz #2, Rubio #3.

Finally, did Trump leaving the debate affect the results?  In terms of the debaters themselves, not so much.  Ted Cruz got the insults out of the way early.  However, for Fox News, they now state Thursday’s FNC debate was the second highest rated telecast in the channel’s history with 12.5 million viewers.  Conventional wisdom said this wouldn’t occur.  Though not present, the moderators and debaters still mentioned him.  And people say the “entertainment” factor of Trump was missed.

But one thing most definitely: Trump would not have cared for the way Megyn Kelly would have gone after him, if her tenacity with Rubio and Cruz was any indicator.  Megyn Kelly can indeed shred.

Did Trump pull off his tactic?  In a word, yes.  I don’t think he “lost” anything by not attending.  But I still enjoyed the debate because it was substantial and topic-driven for the most part.

Thursday GOP debate: no Trump

Donald Trump NOT In Thursday 1-28-2016 DebatesDonald Trump has stated he will not appear at Thursday’s Fox News GOP debate due to perceived slights by Megyn Kelly.

This stems from the first Republican debate on August 6th of last year, co-moderated by Megyn Kelly.

She asked Trump at that time, “One of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you don’t use a politician’s filter.  However, that is not without its downside, in particular when it comes to women.  You have called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs’ and ‘disgusting animals.’  Your Twitter account.  .  .”

Trump: “Only Rosie O’Donnell.”

Kelly: “No it wasn’t.  Your Twitter account.  .  .for the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell.

Trump: “Yes, I’m sure it was.”

Kelly: “Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women’s looks.  You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees.  Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?  And how will you answer the charge with Hillary Clinton who is likely to be the Democratic nominee that you are part of the war on women?”

Mr Trump believes that question evidenced bias on the part of Megyn Kelly.  He said that Roger Ailes (Chairman and CEO of Fox News) should have Megyn Kelly banned from Thursday’s debate staff.

In my opinion, Trump has made a serious mistake by showing his skirt, so to speak.  If Megyn Kelly offended him then and offends him during the debate, then he needs to stand there and defend himself, and to dish back as he sees fit.

It’s what he does and what people expect to see.

The retort “if he can’t handle Kelly then how would he handle Putin” is trite but has a semblance of accuracy.  For history, at one point early in her McCain/VP campaign I was in support of Sarah Palin.  However, once she resigned as Alaska governor in 2009, I knew she couldn’t take the heat.  At least she did the right thing and got out of the kitchen.  Since then I’ve known that Palin is a poseur.  And no, she never said she could see Russia from her house.

With that in mind, Trump takes the easy or cowardly way out.  Yes, you can readily reply that Trump is a bit in Hillary’s position where any further exposure can be deleterious to his campaign.  But that would be wrong, because Trump absolutely thrives in a clashing and adversarial environment.  He enjoys it.  What he doesn’t enjoy is being faced with his own statements.

If Trump made various statements he should either own them or refute them.

But stepping away from a debate because he doesn’t like someone who asked him a tough question smacks of “taking his toys and going home.”

The Iowa caucus is next Monday, February 1st.  (Go here to see how the Iowa caucuses work.)

Because of that I’ll be watching the debates anyway, as I want to see how Cruz, Rubio and Christie conduct themselves tonight, and how the interplay goes between them.

Bret Baier, Chris Wallace and Megyn Kelly will moderate the Thursday debate, whose big table cast will include Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich, and Rand Paul.

The small table debate, held first, will be moderated by Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum and will consist of Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Jim Gilmore.  I’ll believe that Jim Gilmore thingie when I see it.

I’ll be watching the debates and then posting about them later tonight.
