    Benghazi insider speaks out and backs up Fox News Whistleblower

    Excerpt:

    The Obama administration and the Republican Interim Benghazi report claim no one in government denied any emergency assistance to help Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith, before they were killed in the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.

    The Obama-Clinton regime also adamantly refuted the charge that anyone issued “stand-down” orders. However, last Tuesday, a disguised Benghazi whistleblower, a military special ops member, who watched the attack unfold in Benghazi, appeared on Fox News in a report: Special forces could’ve responded to Benghazi attack, claimed otherwise. On Friday Foreign Policy magazine quickly came out in an article entitled, Benghazi (II): A military analysis of the Fox mystery man’s fantasy rescue plan, and tried to discredit the whistleblower and called him a clown. Now add my Benghazi insider to that growing list of people who refute the “official” Benghazi narrative, blessed by the Republican Interim report (page 15), and the argument made in Foreign Policy magazine. In interviews with me held over the last several days, the Benghazi insider backs up the Benghazi whistleblower.

    To add some critical context to Benghazi, Tyrone Woods, a former Navy SEALs was a CIA asset and a GRS—Global Response Staff. The GRS is a secret global security force that serves as armed guards for the agency’s spies in high-risk outposts. It was created after the September 11, 2001 terrorists attack in New York and Washington. Woods’ job was to protect Ambassador Christopher Stevens—also a CIA asset. Protecting an ambassador is equivalent to protecting a Four Star General. GRS is the elite, of the elite, of the elite forces. Former Navy SEALs and Special Forces are recruited to join but not everyone makes the cut. That’s how tough and risky it is. As the Washington Post reported, the GRS’s emerging status is one of the “CIA’s most dangerous assignments.”

    “CIA veterans said that GRS teams have become a critical component of conventional espionage, providing protection for case officers whose counterterrorism assignments carry a level of risk that rarely accompanied the cloak-and-dagger encounters of the Cold War.”

    When a GRS issues a call for assistance, other assets currently assisting somewhere else—even during a lifesaving operation for other forces, stop what they are doing to help the GRS. The level of importance of a GRS cannot be over emphasized here.

    This is who received no help, despite requesting assistance from the Obama-Clinton regime. This is who a writer, a U.S. Marine, at Foreign Policy mocked, when he claimed that no help could be sent in time to make a difference.

    Recall from the start the Obama-Clinton regime has said that there were no forces available to assist Ambassador Stevens and the other Americans (two GRS’s) in Benghazi.

    The Republican Benghazi Interim report (page 15), agreed with the Obama-Clinton regime, stating: “The House Armed Services Committee conducted a review of air assets available to respond to Benghazi. No U.S. government element refused or denied requests for emergency assistance during the crisis,” contradicting the explosive allegation reported about a month after the Benghazi attack, Jennifer Griffin’s Fox News “Exclusive: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say.”

    However, in the latest FOX News exclusive by Adam Housley, a Benghazi whistleblower came forward and backed up the original whistleblowers’ accounts reported by Fox News and said: Special forces could’ve responded to Benghazi attack because the U.S. had highly trained forces just a few hours away in Croatia. He also said that he and others feel the government betrayed the four men who died in the attack.

    Next, Foreign Policy was quick to discredit the whistleblower as a “clown,” in “A military analysis of the Fox mystery man’s fantasy rescue plan.” In short, the author, Billy Birdzell, who served as a “U.S. Marine Corp infantry officer and special operations team leader from 2001 to 2009, and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in security studies at Georgetown University,” claimed that had a plane been sent from Croatia it would not have gotten there in time to make a difference.

    However, according to my Benghazi insider with direct information: “When Tyrone Woods, a GRS, made the call for assistance, no one knew what the outcome would be. The attack in Benghazi could have turned into a hostage situation that lasted for days, weeks. It could have spread out beyond the annex. Anything was possible. Nobody knew at that time what the outcome would be, unless it was pre-determined—and if that is what the author in Foreign Policy is saying, he needs to come forward now with what he knows.

    When Woods issued the call sign for assistance that involves the name of a bird and some numbers, the second that call sign was issued, everything becomes available to help the Ambassador. A GRS doesn’t cry wolf. When a GRS issued the call sign everything was in play.

    Benghazi Blues

    PJ Media

    Michael Walsh
    5/5/2013

    Excerpt:

    No matter what happens with Darrell Issa’s congressional committee meetings this week, we are witnessing the beginning of the end of the Obama administration, and the cause is Benghazi. It’s impossible to overestimate the blowback that has been gathering steam for the past seven months, now about to erupt with full force. Few reputations will emerge unscathed, Obama’s presidency will be crippled, Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 candidacy will be destroyed — and perhaps some new heroes will be born.

    My New York Post column on Friday, which was also linked at RealClearPolitics, sets the stage:

    On Wednesday, the FBI released photos of three men present at the deadly jihadist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya; the bureau has asked the Libyans’ help in identifying them.

    Which nicely highlights the fact that it’s been more than seven months since Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other brave Americans were killed — and yet there’s been no justice, nor even vengeance, in the matter.

    Nor much exposure: We know little more today than we did in the immediate aftermath of the fiasco.


    That’s because, right from the jump, the administration has been lying through its teeth about what happened on the night of Sept. 11, 2012 — the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, as it happens. It transparently lied about the Mohammad video, threw the scapegoated filmmaker in jail (where, last time I looked, he still is), and convened a bogus “accountability” board to whitewash the whole damn thing so as not to disrupt the precious Narrative that Osama was dead and al-Qaeda was on the run.

    It was all a lie, of course, and some of us knew it at the time. I wrote about it repeatedly on the Post’s Op-Ed page: you can find examples here, here and here. In this case, however, what happened in Benghazi, Foggy Bottom, the White House, and the Obama re-election campaign headquarters in Chicago was (as the saying going) worse than a crime: it was a blunder. And that blunder may now bring down the man who never should have been president in the first place, for grotesque dereliction of his duty as commander-in-chief:

    Indeed, the State Department’s Inspector General is now investigating the Accountability Review Board that reported on Benghazi in December, Fox News reported yesterday. What Fox called “well-placed sources” say the IG is trying to find out if the State panel failed to interview key witnesses who’d come forward.

    In fact, Washington power attorney Victoria Toensing — a Reagan-era deputy assistant attorney general with a strong background in intelligence work — says she’s got a whistle blower inside State who’s itching to go public.

    But so far she’s been stymied by officials who won’t act on her request for a security clearance so she can deal with classified material the case entails. Other attorneys for as many as three other potential witnesses from inside State and CIA say they’re having the same problem.

    In fact, some whistleblowers allege that they’ve been threatened with reprisals should they come forward — even though federal law explicitly protects whistleblowers.

    At his Monday press conference, President Obama shrugged off questions about all this, saying, “I’m not familiar with this notion that anybody has been blocked from testifying.”

      Benghazi Continued: Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion

      PJ Media

      Roger L. Simon
      5/6/2013

      Excerpt:

      That CBS’ Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer, of all people, nodded in agreement when Rep. Darrell Issa asserted on Schieffer’s Sunday morning show that the administration had engaged in a cover-up regarding Benghazi is a huge sign that this scandal is finally being taken seriously by the most traditional establishment liberal media.

      This is bad news for such über-establishment figures as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, but they are politicians who come and, alas eventually, though it seems to take forever, go.

      More problematically, a permanent organ of our government has been so besmirched by Benghazi it may take years fully to recover, if it ever does — the U. S. Department of State.

      By manipulating facts and lying to the American public immediately after the events of September 11, 2012, the State Department has behaved, to its eternal shame, like the propaganda arm of a totalitarian state — and not a very sophisticated one.

      This is particularly disturbing since State is — or at least is supposed to be — a non-partisan branch of our government. Members of many administrations co-exist within it to serve our country.

      We seem, however, to have returned to the State Department of Alger Hiss’ day — but not, like Hiss’ time, in the form of direct Soviet subversion. What we have is a post-modern version — a subversion of elitism, self-regard, and, above all, self-preservation.

      They lied not for ideals, but for self-interest. The communists — some of them anyway — at least dreamt of a better world.

      From what we know so far, the U. S. Department of State participated in the cover-up of an Islamist terror attack on the brink of a U. S. presidential election, implying the murders of our fellow citizens were inspired by an execrable video that nobody saw. I can’t think of anything more despicable and more disrespectful to all of us — and most especially to the families of the deceased.

          Excerpt:

          CBS released information on the Benghazi 9-11 massacre today that could potentially bring down the Obama Administration.

          Buried in their report (down in paragraph eight) CBS reported, “Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned… But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.” But, counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help. CBS reported:

          Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned.

          “We relied on Washington for dispassionate assessment,” one eyewitness told CBS News. “Instead, they [Washington officials] were asking us what help we needed. We answered: ‘Send reinforcements!’ ”

          But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.

          Embassy personnel say they repeatedly asked the Defense Attache on site in Tripoli for military assistance.

          “Isn’t there anything available?” one Embassy official says he asked. “But the answer was ‘no.’”

          “What about Aviano?” the official pressed, referencing the NATO air base with US assets in northeastern Italy. “No,” was the answer.

          Two of the four Americans killed that night died hours after the first attack began…

          …Counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help in the attack. National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CBS News the CSG was not needed.
