Meanwhile The Obama Campaign is focused on Big Bird….

The State Department is coming under more scrutiny ahead of anticipated hearings scheduled for tomorrow.  Request for additional security fell on deaf ears, and despite State Dept claims there were no protests in front of the consulate in Benghazi.   The Democrats are petrified of the impact on the election, desperate to protect President Obama, and are attempting rabid obfuscation:

The Congressional Hearing will be streamed live tomorrow at noon on the web – AVAILABLE HERE 

(Reuters) – A U.S. security officer formerly stationed in Libya has told lawmakers he sent two cables to the State Department requesting more security agents for the American mission in Benghazi but received no response.

The officer, Eric Nordstrom, also said that a State Department official, Charlene Lamb, wanted to keep the number of U.S. security personnel in Benghazi “artificially low,” according to a memo summarizing his comments that was obtained by Reuters. (more…)

Cudos to CBS’s Sharyl Atkinson and whistleblower DoD Security Official Col. Woods

…… Treehouse Report:  ” DUH  “!

For over 18 months we have been outining the al-Qaeda network in Libya that put the squeeze on Gaddafi, took over Benghazi, and aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood on the Egyptian border.    Here is a brief summary of our cited research and the new Pentagon report at the end.

Wow, this is going to leave the progs in a tenuous position.    You might remember CBS’s Lara Logan from the brutality she suffered when she was sodomized, gang raped and beaten by the media supported “freedom fighters” in Egypt’s Tahrir Square.

The progs exalted Lara Logan for her bravery, courage and her journalism.   Now she speaks out about the rabid savagery that has become the Middle East, the rise and resurgence of al-Qaeda, and the determined Islamists who have come back into power over the last two years as a direct consequence of President Obama’s failed policies.

CHICAGO – This was no ordinary rubber chicken affair. That was my reaction to the extraordinary keynoter at Tuesday’s Better Government Association annual luncheon.

Lara Logan, a correspondent for CBS’ “60 Minutes,” delivered a provocative speech to about 1,100 influentials from government, politics, media, and the legal and corporate arenas. Such downtown gatherings are a regular on Chicago’s networking circuit. (I am a member of the BGA’s Civic Leadership Committee, and the Chicago Sun-Times was a sponsor).

Her ominous and frightening message was gleaned from years of covering our wars in the Middle East. She arrived in Chicago on the heels of her Sept. 30 report, “The Longest War.” It examined the Afghanistan conflict and exposed the perils that still confront America, 11 years after 9/11. (more…)

Drip…. Drip…. Drip…..  The Truth comes forth.   Turning that spigot to brutally honest mode is the job of Congress now.   Jason Chaffetz went to Libya over the weekend to gather information prior to the Congressional hearings scheduled for Wed, this week.

(Daily Beast) Just two days before the 9/11 anniversary attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, two leaders of the Libyan militias responsible for keeping order in the city threatened to withdraw their men.

The brinksmanship is detailed in a cable approved by Ambassador Chris Stevens and sent on the day he died in the attack, the worst assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission since the 1979 hostage crisis in Iran. The dispatch, which was marked “sensitive” but not “classified,” contained a number of other updates on the chaotic situation on the ground in post-Gaddafi Libya.  […] (more…)

The Middle East – Let’s cut to the chase so that a broader understanding is possible.

Look at a map of the Middle East:

The first understanding is to know the “Modern West” was accepting of mass migration from N-Africa through Tunisia and Libya into Cyprus, Italy and on to Europe for decades.  This migration was/is the beginning of their substantive multi-cultural issues they are now facing socially and economically.

Long story short…. Eventually Europe wanted the spigot turned off because the “undesirables” were not assimilating correctly and they could not afford the resulting problems.   The ruling fascists in Libya (Gaddafi) and Tunisia (Zine El Abidine Ben Ali) now held “leverage” over Europe.    Quackdaffy and Ben Ali became the gatekeepers.

(Blaze) United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice has denied she tried to mislead Congress about the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya in calling it a “spontaneous” protest, saying she was acting on the best information she had.

In a letter to Republican senators released Friday, Rice said she “consistently qualified, in some instances twice, the information I provided as preliminary” when she went on television and said the attack on the consulate was the result of an anti-Muslim film. U.S. officials subsequently labeled the Sept. 11 assault that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans an act of terrorism linked to Al-Qaeda-affiliated groups. (more…)

Some explosive updates – Jason Chaffetz reveals the State Department intentionally withdrew security personell prior to Benghazi consulate attack.   Investigators finally reach scene three weeks post attack, and early reports say two Tunisian nationals have been arrested:

The Security Withdrawl – In the six months leading up to the assault on the United States consulate in Benghazi, the State Department reduced the number of trained Americans guarding U.S. facilities in Libya, according to a leading House Republican investigating the Sept. 11 anniversary attacks. The reduction in U.S. security personnel increased America’s reliance on local Libyan guards for the protection of its diplomats. (more…)

Treepers, I have a personal call to each of you.   The story of Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty heroic action has really hit a nerve for me personally. I am fearful, because of the political hurricane surrounding the event, they will not get the recognition of bravery they deserve.

I know many people have shared the original story we outlined in: “Into the Breach“, actually over 30,000 people have forwarded, shared on Facebook, emailed, and cross posted the True Story of Heroism.

Yet, the media, well, those actually covering the issue(s) are caught up on other aspects of the attack; and in many cases rightly so. But unfortunately, this presents a situation where the actual bravery of Ty and Glenn will be forgotten amid the political confluence and obfuscation.

So I have a request. Well, actually four requests: (more…)
