“A bump in the road.”

“Not optimal.”

Those are the absurd words uttered at various times by our Dictator regarding the terrorist attacks in Benghazi.

One rather doubts that the families of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty or Tyrone Woods feel that those attacks were…”Bumps in the road” or “Not optimal.”

It is absolutely stunning.

The transparent attempts of this heinous administration to downplay the serious and lethal consequences of those September 11^th, 2012 attacks continues to this day.

Just last week, White House Town Liar, Jay Carney snobbishly stated, “ Let’s be clear. Benghazi happened a long time ago.”

No Carney…It happened RECENTLY…LESS than I YEAR AGO.

Perhaps THE most disturbing comments came via a “60 Minutes” joint interview.

Here it is. You can start watching at the 3 minute mark and the absurd comment comes at starts at the 3:40 mark as they are discussing Benghazi.

They had a laugh. They SHARED a laugh.

4 Americans were DEAD and Obama and Hillary thought it was…FUNNY. “You know, I remember Bob Gates, you know, first thing he said to me, I think maybe first week or two that I was there and we were meeting in the Oval Office and he, obviously, been through seven presidents or something. And he says, ‘Mr. President, one thing I can guarantee you is that at this moment, somewhere, somehow, somebody in the federal government is screwing up.’ “

According to a senior CIA intelligence official, who refused to be named because of ongoing investigations last November, “No one was told to “stand down” during the Benghazi attacks.”

Tomorrow, one of 3 whistle blowers, Gregory Hicks, will state, under oath, that…”SOCAFRICA commander Lt. Col. Gibson and his team were on their way to board a C-130 from Tripoli for Benghazi prior to an attack on a second U.S. compound “when [Col. Gibson] got a phone call from SOCAFRICA which said, ‘you can’t go now, you don’t have the authority to go now.’ And so they missed the flight … They were told not to board the flight, so they missed it.”

Hicks was the 2^nd in diplomatic command in Libya on the night of September 11^th 2012.

We were told by Leon Panetta that special response teams or other military assets either weren’t available that fateful night or, that they could not be sent because, “You don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on. We) felt we could not put forces at risk in that situation. There was no “real-time information.””

According to an anonymous Special Ops Member in a Fox News interview last week, “I know for a fact that C-110, the EUCOM CIF, was doing a training exercise in … not in the region of North Africa, but in Europe. And they had the ability to act and to respond.”

That C-110 was only 3-3 ½ hours away and could well have been in Benghazi before the attack on the CIA compound began.

As for “real-time” information…We now know that the attack was being watched in “real-time” at the State Department despite testimony from Hillary Clinton to the contrary AND…Both Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were on the ground, in the fight which would ultimately claim their lives and were calling for air strikes while “painting” enemy positions with lasers.

Both Doherty and Woods were former Navy SEALS and if ANYONE was qualified to give “real-time” intell…It was THOSE 2 Heroes.

According to Mark I. Thompson, a former Marine and now the deputy coordinator for operations in the at the Department of State’s Counterterrorism Bureau…Hillary Clinton, during the September 11^th, 2012 attacks, was doing all she could to CUT THE COUNTER TERRORISM BUREAU OUT OF THE MIX.

Stunning…Especially in light of the emails discovered by Fox News Correspondent, Steve Hayes.

Those emails show, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the official talking points issued from the white house AND the State Department after the Benghazi attacks were unbelievably altered.

According to Hayes, at the Weekly Standard, there were 3 separate drafts of the “official” talking points with the 1^st directly implicating Ansar al-Sharia in the attacks along with al Qaeda.

The CIA then altered the talking points adding, “On 10 September we warned of social media reports calling for a demonstration in front of the [Cairo] Embassy and that jihadists were threatening to break into the Embassy,” and “The Agency has produced numerous pieces on the threat of extremists linked to al Qaeda in Benghazi and Libya,” and removing references to al Qaeda…Replacing them with…”DEMONSTRATION.”

This is when Victoria Nuland, State Department mouthpiece responded with “serious concerns” over the POLITICAL aspects of the wording regarding, “not paying attention to Agency warnings.”

According to the email, Nuland stated pointedly, “White House officials responded by stating that the State Department’s concerns would have to be taken into account.”

CIA deputy director Mike Morrel became involved the next morning and HEAVILY redacted the talking points by REMOVING 148 OF THE 240 WORDS and by reducing it to the “spontaneous “attack” lingo which then became the line to be used.

The point being…It was a TERRORIST ATTACK…The State Department AND the white house KNEW it was a TERRORIST ATTACK WHILE IT WAS IN PROGRESS and then, just days later…BOTH THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND THE WHITE HOUSE STARTED BLAMING IT ON THE YOU TUBE VIDEO, sending Susan Rice out to help do their dirty work.

Obama claimed HE said it was a terrorist attack from the beginning BUT, he CLEARLY pushed the You Tube video “talking points” for 3 weeks thereafter and at no less that the U.N. podium and several campaign interviews.

Obama walked OUT of the situation room DURING the attacks and NEVER checked back in for status updates. The next morning, he campaigned in Las Vegas.

Hillary lied, stonewalled and tried to misdirect both senate and house committees. Her name is on the very documents regarding requests and denials for added security in Benghazi BEFORE the attacks AND she kept COUNTERTERRORISM units OUT of the loop.

Panetta LIED about not having response teams that could have assisted DURING the attacks.

Generals and a Rear Admiral were RELIEVED of their commands because THEY tried to send help. CIA Director, David Petraeus, was forced to resign after an extra marital affair was revealed.

And then…There’s the “INTERNAL REPORT” from the Department of State which, is now, itself, under investigation as it appears that key elements and VERY KEY WITNESSES were either CUT from the report or, simply NEVER INTERVIEWED at all.

Astonishing.

What is trying to be discovered now is, whether the Accountability Review Board, or ARB , which was under the direction of U.N. Ambassador Thomas Pickering and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen — failed to interview key witnesses who had asked to provide their accounts of the Benghazi attacks to the panel.

Let’s be CLEAR about this…The ARB was the FOX reporting on the activities of ANOTHER fox regarding Benghazi and NOW…The “investigation into the FOX who reported on the OTHER fox is being conducted by…YET ANOTHER FOX – THE STATE DEPARTMENT’S OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL.

It should also be made clear that NOT A SINGLE PERSON found to be “accountable” for what were called “systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels” by the original ARB have been removed from their jobs.

NOT ONE…Not one. Their desks have been shuffled but ALL are STILL in GOVERNMENT EMPLOY at the State Department.

Before the Benghazi attacks…Hillary and Obama BOTH knew that al Qaeda was firmly in control OF Benghazi. Requests for added security were DENIED. Security there was DRAWN DOWN. A group, the February 17^th Martyr’s Brigade, al Qaeda SYMPATHIZERS, were HIRED by THE STATE DEPARTMENT to provide security in Benghazi and just days BEFORE the attacks…THEY QUIT.

During THE ATTACKS…Obama walked away and never checked back in. Both Obama AND Hillary KNEW…DURING THE ATTACKS…That al Qaeda and Ansar al-Sharia were DEEPLY involved AND that there was NO spontaneous demonstration due to a You Tube Video.

The FBI was KEPT OUT OF BENGHAZI FOR 3 WEEKS thus allowing those responsible to remove any evidence OF their responsibility.

PHOTOS of the 3 RINGLEADERS OF THE BENGHAZI ATTACKS were JUST released…LAST WEEK.

And now…NOW…CBS comes forward after nearly 8 MONTHS of relative SILENCE with THIS???

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.

A bump in the road? Not Optimal? Benghazi happened a long time ago???

Really?

At this point…It makes a HUGE difference.
