Comment: As we reported earlier, Obama’s congressional resolution would allow not only boots on the ground, but an open ended war throughout the region.
Secretary of State John F. Kerry refused Tuesday to rule out putting U.S. troops on the ground in Syria, saying the president needs to retain the ability to send in forces in very select circumstances as the Obama administration officially began to make its case for retaliatory military strikes on the Assad regime.
Testifying to the Senate, Mr. Kerry accused critics of “armchair isolationism” and said there are risks to acting, but that the risks of inaction are even worse. But asked whether President Obama would accept an authorization from Congress that specifically banned putting U.S. troops on the ground in Syria, the secretary balked.
“I don’t want to take off the table an option that might or might not be available to the president that might secure our country,” he said, pointing to a hypothetical situation in which the U.S. would want troops to go in to secure a chemical weapons cache from falling into the hands of terrorists.
Moments later, however, realizing his statement could be a problem, Mr. Kerry sought to clarify. He said that Mr. Obama will accept whatever restrictions Congress wants to place to make sure that the U.S. doesn’t get drawn into the actual fight between the regime and the rebels.

Obama Denies Benghazi Hit Despite STATE DEPT TESTIMONY

Obama Denies Benghazi Hit Despite STATE DEPT TESTIMONY

Washington D.C.
Led by Darrell Issa, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing today investigating the 9/11 al Qaeda terrorist attack on the American Embassy in Libya. And the Obama Administration’s lack of leadership; their seeming denial of the growing terrorist element within the Middle East, and the resulting vacuum of power filled by Islamic Extremist led directly to the 9/11 attacks carried out on American Embassies throughout the region.
 The Obama Administration’s complacency regarding this aggressive terrorist element led not only to Egyptian extremist (linked to the Muslim Brotherhood) burning the American flag & hoisting Al Qaeda’s over the US Embassy—but it also led to the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens & his security team in Benghazi.
For all of this, the Obama Administration’s first response was to lay blame on a youtube video released by an Egyptian born, Coptic Christian.
benghazi1
The weekend after 9/11, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, stated several times on multiple mainstream media outlets:
There is no evidence the attacks were ‘pre-planned.’ The catalyst was a trailer for the movie, “Innocence of Muslims,” produced in the United States.
This same gross-speculation was repeated by many top-officials of the Obama administration, and culminated with President Obama condemning a youtube video seven times while addressing the Benghazi attack before the United Nations—who once again, featured Ahmadinejad.
To blame those who have been under attack & murdered in Egypt for years, and who were just attacked again by elements linked to the Muslim Brotherhood—one month prior to 9/11 on Aug. 1, 2012— is certainly a stretch.  And since Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton welcomed the extremist Brotherhood into power in Egypt, the Coptic Christians have now formed their own Christian Brotherhood.
Barack Obama’s apparent sympathy for Islamic-extremist and terrorist should not be a shock to anyone, especially considering Obama is long-time friends to Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn—two convicted terrorist who lament the same Palestinian extremism as the PLA and Yasser Arafat.
Disclosed during the hearing was a “max security alert” issued by Ambassador Stevens on Sept. 1, 2012—10 days before he was murdered by al Qaeda.  His request for increased security fell on deaf ears as the State Department denied his team the right to arm themselves, denied his team additional manning, and denied his team additional fortification for the Embassy structure.Obama’s ‘friends’ were also involved in the “Gaza flotilla upheaval,” breaching Israel’s security in 2010.
benghazi_cloud_white_house_10-28-12-2 (Copy)Where the information came from—for the Obama Administration to blame the September upheaval in the Middle East on a youtube video—is important, because it most likely came from the same Islamic-Extremist who Obama and Clinton “welcomed into Egyptian power.”
And still, there exist a vacuum of power being filled by extremist as result of a lack of leadership and lack of representation for those seeking independence & freedom—not only in Libya, but with the Coptic Christians in Egypt, the moderate Muslims in Afghanistan & Pakistan, and the tortured multitudes in Syria, Iraq and Iran.
History already taught us on the first 9/11 the consequences for America leaving dangerous vacuums, being filled with Islamic-Extremist, left unattended and unchecked for too long.
Listen to Doug Matthew Stewart and I sound off on the subject on The Conservative Report Radio Show (report continues after the audio player)

Part One of the Oversight Hearing Video is just below and begins at the 3:00 minute mark.
Skip forward to 24:00 minutes as Rep. Chaffetz discloses the prior reported attacks (a/k/a ‘actionable intelligence’) on the American Embassy. The June 2012 attack is described as ‘a test-run by the terrorist, knocking out a compound wall.‘
The June terrorist test-run resulted in Ambassador Stevens’ issuing an urgent plea for increased security. Of which, Barack Obama and his administration certainly knew about. Not only before 9/11/2012, but also ‘immediately afterward,’ when Barack Obama, Susan Rice &  Hillary Clinton were blaming a youtube video for the second terrorist attack on 9/11.

He wants to move toward abolishing Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel and cites Iran as a successful model of independence from Washington. He worries about the mixing of the genders in the workplace and women’s work outside the home. And he promises to bring extraordinary prosperity to Egypt, if it turns its back on trade with the West.
He has also surged to become a front-runner in the race to become Egypt’s next president, reconfiguring political battle lines here. His success may help explain why the United States offered signs of tacit approval over the weekend when the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest Islamic group, broke its pledge not to field its own candidate.
With a first round of voting set for late May and a runoff in mid-June, the first presidential race here since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak last year is shaping up as a battle among Islamists.
The Brotherhood, which leads Parliament, had pledged not to seek the presidency for fear of provoking a backlash from the Egyptian military and the West. But Mr. Abu Ismail’s surge raises the prospect that the winner might not be a more secular or liberal figure, but a strident Islamist who opposes the Brotherhood’s pragmatic focus on stable relations with the United States and Israel and free-market economics.
Mr. Abu Ismail poses a subtler threat, too, challenging the Brotherhood’s status as the main voice of Islamist politics in Egypt and threatening to undermine its campaign to set aside Western fears of political Islam. The Brotherhood is taking a considerable risk in running its own candidate against him, since its victory is by no means assured.
And so, in a remarkable inversion, American policy makers who once feared a Brotherhood takeover now appear to see the group as an indispensable ally against Egypt’s ultraconservatives, exemplified by Mr. Abu Ismail.
American diplomats — surprised by the success of ultraconservative, populist Islamists known as Salafis in parliamentary elections — have watched Mr. Abu Ismail with growing alarm.
On Sunday, speaking on condition of standard diplomatic anonymity, State Department officials said they were untroubled and even optimistic about the Brotherhood’s reversal of its pledge not to seek the presidency. The Brotherhood’s candidate, Khairat el-Shater, a millionaire businessman considered the most formative influence on the group’s policies, is well known to both American diplomats and their contacts in the Egyptian military. Though in and out of prison, he was the Brotherhood’s main point of contact with Mr. Mubarak’s security services and is now its main conduit for talks with the council of generals who took power at his ouster.
Mr. Shater has met with almost all the senior State Department officials and American lawmakers visiting Cairo. He is in regular contact with the American ambassador, Anne Patterson, as well as the executives of many American companies here, and United States officials have praised his moderation as well as his intelligence and effectiveness.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in Istanbul on Sunday for a meeting on Syria, declined to comment on the Brotherhood’s reversal on fielding a candidate or on Mr. Shater. Instead, she said that the United States was watching all the candidates for their commitments to uphold basic rights. “We want to see Egypt move forward in a democratic transition, and what that means is you do not and cannot discriminate against religious minorities, women, political opponents,” she said. “There has to be a process — starting in an election — that lays down certain principles that will be followed by whoever wins the election. That is what we want for the Egyptian people.”
A new poll set for release on Monday by the Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, a state-financed research group, offered the first measure of Mr. Abu Ismail’s growing popularity. In a randomized survey of 1,200 Egyptians in recent weeks, Mr. Abu Ismail had jumped to second place from fourth or fifth place in polls taken last year, said Diaa Rashwan, a researcher at the Center.
The poll did not include Mr. Shater or any Brotherhood candidate. Amr Moussa, a former diplomat under Mr. Mubarak and political celebrity with high name recognition, remained the front-runner, with the support of about 33 percent of the respondents. But Mr. Abu Ismail was gaining on him, with about 22 percent. A liberal Islamist, Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, won the support of about 8 percent, and another Islamist moderate, Mohammad Salim al-Awa, had about 4 percent.
Mayy El Sheikh contributed reporting from Cairo, and Steven Lee Myers from Istanbul.
  The plan for a runoff increases the Islamists’ chances. If no one wins a majority in the first vote in May, the top two vote-getters will enter a June runoff. And any relatively secular candidate such as Mr. Moussa will have a hard time beating any of the Islamists then, given that the Brotherhood and other Islamists won about three-quarters of the seats in Parliament.

A spokesman for Mr. Abu Ismail’s campaign said Sunday that Mr. Shater’s entry into the race would help Mr. Abu Ismail by taking votes from Mr. Aboul Fotouh, a former Brotherhood leader still popular with its rank and file.
But Mr. Rashwan of Al Ahram predicted a hard-to-handicap face-off between Mr. Shater and Mr. Abu Ismail. While Mr. Shater has the backing of the Brotherhood’s formidable political machine, Mr. Rashwan said, Mr. Abu Ismail is more charismatic. And in addition to his support from those who favor his conservative religious ideas, Mr. Abu Ismail also benefits from populist appeals to Egypt’s poor and marginalized. Mr. Shater, in contrast, is a wealthy businessman and politician. “He is part of the elite,” Mr. Rashwan said.
He also noted that the Brotherhood’s members have benefited from sympathy and admiration as victims of the Mubarak government’s repression when they were its main opposition. But the Egyptian media usually refers to Mr. Shater as the Brotherhood’s “strongman,” and Mr. Rashwan said he inspired “fear,” not “sympathy.”
Mr. Abu Ismail’s campaign posters already blanket the walls and car windows of Cairo. Last Tuesday, he was mobbed like a rock star at Cairo University. On Friday, busloads of his supporters staged a parade to deliver his formal application for candidacy, stopping traffic across the city.
“American and Israel pay enormous sums of money to control the whole society,” he declared at a rally last week. “We can’t be preoccupied by the issues of daily life rather than stand up to them.”

“My Administration is Proud to be Your Partner”, Obama Tells Muslim Brotherhood Pro-Hamas Group September 3, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield 13 Comments Print This Post Print This Post Finally, something we can believe. Obama taped a statement congratulating ISNA, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas Holy Land funding case, on its anniversary, telling the Muslim Brotherhood terror-linked front group, “My administration is proud to be your partner.” ISNA’s president had met twice with Obama and Valerie Jarrett, making this a high end meeting. And Jarrett had addressed the ISNA convention back in 2009. “Muslim Americans are integral part of our character and history and we rely on your innovation and entrepreneurship to help keep moving this country forward,” Obama told ISNA members. “Over the last half century, you have upheld the proud legacy of American Muslims’ contributions to our national fabric and this gathering is a testament of that tradition.” The timing for Obama’s shameless flattery is rather poor as it directs attention to his plans for fighting a war on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria and his repeated attempts to pressure the Egyptian government to restore the Muslim Brotherhood to power in that country. ISNA is a notorious Muslim Brotherhood front group and while its mother organization back in Egypt is burning churches, Obama praised ISNA for its interfaith activities, saying, “I am especially grateful for the work that ISNA has done to advance interfaith understanding and cooperation here in home and around the world.” “So thank you ISNA for your tireless advocacy and commitment to America that realizes the full potential of all its people,” Obama said. Speakers at the terror-linked group’s convention that Barack Hussein Obama was praising, include Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Co-Founder of Zaytuna College, and Muslim Brotherhood scion Tariq Ramadan who defended stoning women to death. Shaykh Hamza Yusuf said of the United States “[America] a country that has little to be proud of in its past and less to be proud of in the present. I am a citizen of this country not by choice but by birth. “I reside in this country not by choice but by conviction in attempting to spread the message of Islam in this country. I became Muslim in part because I did not believe in the false gods of this society whether we call them Jesus or democracy or the Bill of Rights.” Two days before September 11, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf addressed a benefit dinner for a Muslim cop-killer sponsored by Al-Talib Magazine, which praised Osama bin Laden, and announced, “This country [America] unfortunately has a great, a great tribulation coming to it. And much of it is already here, yet people are too to illiterate to read the writing on the wall.” Unfortunately it still is. Even when the writing comes in the form of a video.

Finally, something we can believe.

This question must be answered, along with a reason “why Hillary Clinton & the State Department denied over 100 requests for security enhancements & fortifications despite over 230 violent attacks in Libya for the year leading up to 9/11, including the attacks on Chris Stevens before the video was even posted on youtube?”

The most pressing question about the second 9/11 terrorist attack on America, this time in Benghazi, is “why did Hillary Clinton and the U.S. State Department fund & train the very same terrorists in Libya responsible for murdering Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith and SEALS: Glen Doherty & Tyrone Woods?”


This question must be answered, along with a reason “why Hillary Clinton & the State Department denied over 100 requests for security enhancements & fortifications despite over 230  violent attacks in Libya for the year leading up to 9/11, including the attacks on Chris Stevens before the video was even posted on youtube?” 
To the left is one such request documented by Regional Security Officer (RSO) stationed in Libya, Eric Nordstrom. Nordstrom appeared to testify at the October 10 Oversight Committee and said under oath:
“You want to know what bothered me so much about being assigned in Libya? It’s not the hardships, it’s not the gunfire, it’s not the threats. It’s dealing & fighting against the people, the programs & the personnel who were supposed to be supporting me. And I added to it by saying, ‘Jim (Bacigalupo) for me, it’s as if the Taliban is on the inside of the building.”
Listen to Eric Nordstrom’s sworn testimony below:
And according to David Petraeus & Rep. Peter King, whose city was devastated by the first terrorist attack on 9/11, RSO Nordstrom was not too far off because it was Ansar al Sharia on the inside of the building.
Led by policy directed by President Barack Obama, US State Department officials Patrick Kennedy & Charlene Lamb testified under oath, with penalty of perjury, before the Oversight Committee on October 10, 2012.
The Kennedy & Lamb testimony revealed:
“the State Department ’back-filled’ US Special Force Operators protecting America’s Embassy & the Ambassador in Libya, and instead opted to outsource US SFO skill sets with ‘Libyan Militia.”
Houston, we have a problem.
Per RSO Nordstrom’s testimony, part of the Libyan militia was the al-Qaeda-linked, Ansar al-Sharia. And per Oversight testimony & evidence, Ansar al Sharia not only threatened Chris Stevens’ life in June 2012, but also attacked the annex Stevens was assigned to in June, blowing out a compound wall. The June attack was called a “terrorist test run.”
Again, June is one month prior to any video being posted on YouTube, and subsequently offered as an excuse by the administration for the “attack on the US Consulate”–an intentional false statement made by multiple government officials, misleading the American people about the Benghazi CIA annex & attack on 9/11 claiming the lives of four brave Americans.
Ultimately, Ansar al Sharia claimed credit for killing Stevens, Smith, Woods & Doherty after 9/11/2012.
After her “accepting responsibility,” Hillary Clinton easily dismissed Ansar al Sharia’s public assertion made on both Twitter and Facebook for murdering Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, and SEALS:  Ty Woods & Glen Doherty.
“Posting something on Facebook is not exactly evidence,” Secretary of State Clinton shrugged it off, but she must have forgotten the little-watched video which was only posted on YouTube, until her friend Mohammed Morsi released it after seizing control of the Egyptian media in August–two months after June, when Americans in Libya were already under attack.
Listen below to Representative Dan Burton (R-IA) press the State Department officials, Patrick Kennedy & Charlene Lamb, who testified under oath, with the threat of perjury, that State Department “back-filled the skill set offered by US Special Forces with Libyan militia.” Note RSO Nordstrom’s comment about Ansar al Sharia, in fact, being part of the Libyan militia: 

To the right, the Conservative Report has verified the money trail.

Libya does not have a proper, uniformed military anymore, thanks to Barack Hussein Obama. Instead, the State Department paid the “Libyan Militia” to protect Ambassador Stevens, who is the representative of the United States President stationed abroad.


See page 170 to verify the details of the State Department funding foreign military in Libya to the tune of $150,000. Compare the same small number afforded local terrorist in Libya, to the hundreds of millions afforded other foreign militaries in the region (like Lebanon’s $100M where Hamas has power!), brought to them courtesy of the US taxpayer.
As Col. Bing West stated, and was supported by former NSA Director Bud McFarlane, murdering a U.S. Ambassador is in fact an act of war.
Yet, the attack on America by Ansar al Sharia has still yet to even been met with a military response. Instead, the sleeping-with-the-enemy President now has another hostage crisis on his hands in Algeria, for which US Special Forces have, once again, yet to even respond.
Maybe President Obama will send the FBI to investigate Al Qaeda’s attack & killing Americans in Algeria, just like he did with Benghazi, and handle the act of war like it’s a “criminal investigation” to be handled in civil court.
Every US President prior Obama understood, acts of war are responded to by the United States Military, and usually in a timely manner, less more Americans be left vulnerable. Afterall, affording terrorists, committing acts of war on America, the same rights as those reserved for American citizens, is nothing less than appeasement.
Furthermore, a Conservative Report source has come forward to expose the “2012 State Department Diplomatic Security Annual Newsletter” (which is embedded at the end of this article).
The State Department newsletter shows American assets training the Libyan militia, who would go onto murder Americans on the second 9/11 terrorist attack on America, in Libya for which We The People indeed funded.

This time, claiming ignorance is not acceptable, especially considering the 1998 American Embassy bombing in Kenya, when Hillary was first lady and her husband Bill Clinton was a selfishly, preoccupied President. Bill was just a little too concerned with his impeachment proceedings to pay attention to commanders on the ground in Kenya.
What’s more revealing is, at the time, current UN Ambassador Susan Rice served under Bill Clinton in the State Department. She was the Ambassador to Africa. It was two years prior to the first 9/11, and was result of the Clinton State Department denying official requests for security enhancements & fortifications, made by Americans operating at the US Embassy in Kenya. Sound familiar? It’s deja’vu, all over again.
The State Department’s refusal to secure its embassy & Ambassador in Kenya resulted in the death of 212 people & wounded 4,000. It was also the eighth anniversary of Americans stationed in Saudi Arabia, who leads OPEC.
It is important to note that the State Department’s main function is to secure American Embassies and Ambassadors stationed around the world, especially in terrorist hot-spots–like Benghazi, Libya.
Note 2 in Benghazi - guard caught taking pictures - car 322
Lt. Col Wood was the commander in charge of the American security teams in Libya & he testified:
“I feel duty bound to come forward in order to inform and provide a portion of ground truth information.  I feel a sense of honor for those individuals who have died in the service of their country.
I realize much of my work in Libya was entangled in sensitive government work… The killing of a US Ambassador is a rare and extraordinary thing and requires our attention as a people.
As a citizen I made the determination that this outweighs all other interests and will risk whatever circumstances may result from my testimony.”
The two would go onto expose a shocking revelation.
The United States of America not only denied several request for additional security to protect Ambassador Stevens (eg: a Marine Security Detachment – MSD – is typically assigned to every Ambassador stationed abroad, except for Stevens), but taxpayers also paid for outsourcing to the Libyan militia, and in part, Ansar al Sharia. Special Forces were then used to train the “Libyan militia” to take-over their job of protecting Stevens. 
Marching onward, the Conservative Report will also expose the details around the lack of response, but as already covered, Sean Smith sent a private message to a friend saying:
“I hope I don’t die tonight. I caught one of the guards in charge of protecting us taking pictures of our facility.“
Note found in Benghazi
What wasn’t disclosed was that the “Libyan guard” Sean referred to, was atop of a building across the street from the CIA compound, and was casing the location out, for obvious reason.
The Libyan guard, supplemented by the State Department to protect Team Stevens, was scouting for an ambush by Ansar al Sharia, who went onto attack the facility, later that night.
General Petraeus commented, “the guards left their posts moments before the attack began, allowing Ansar al-Sahria to just waltz right in the front door & kill Smith and Stevens.”
Government officials have a video copy of the live feed provided by 2 US Drones & they also have the live radio communications between Special Force Operators.
For all this, the American Secretary of State, UN Ambassador, Secretary of Defense & President all blamed a spiteful video, despite the CIA Director in Benghazi & Libyan President referring to Benghazi “a precise, well planned terrorist attack” the day after, on Sept 12,2012.
As talking heads of the Obama administration were busy, blaming a little-seen YouTube video, they were also exalting America’s freedom of religion to Libya. They ironically did so without mention of the multiple lawsuits the Obama administration faces, with the same respect to freedom of religion here, in America.
Below is the State Dept newsletter, entitled, “Benghazi: 2012 State Department Annual Security Newsletter.” The newsletter depicts U.S. Military training the Libyan Militia. It also details the average amount of security that all Ambassadors receive, including Ambassador Susan Rice & even Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. 
It is very telling that Rice & Clinton have more than enough Diplomatic Security for themselves, while an Ambassador assigned to a terrorist-haven like Benghazi, lacked even the basic security of a Marine Security Detachment, and was instead left with only Libyan “turn-coats” funded by the taxpayer, at the discretion of the Obama State Department.
Listen to Chris Stevens below regarding the lack of security in Libya and existing vacuum, from which terrorists such as Ansar al Sharia and Al Qaeda were allowed to organize & attack our mission. And not only did so unimpeded, but with US aid. It has been a full year since Stevens had traveled to Benghazi in November 2011, and he issued an urgent security request on September 1st, 2012 to no avail by those he reported to in the State Department.
Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty & Ty Woods never wavered in their duty to our nation & her people, but the support for them & for Special Mission Benghazi certainly did waver, as Eric Nordstrom and Lt. Col. Wood testified about under oath.


And although Secretary Hillary Clinton already accepted responsibility for the murder of Americans in Libya, and in fact, funded the operation, it is time now for her to accept accountability.
Below is an audio mix regarding Benghazi played on Conservative Report Radio as early as October 2012, after the Oversight Hearing and testimony.
