Today Representatives Issa and Chaffetz released the 166 page State Department document these articles talk about to the press in order to make these facts known. One has to wonder just when and how the administration will admit when they knew about this whole story that is about 8 months old and what they had been told. In my opinion Obama should call a presser tomorrow and admit to what is said here and then return to the campaign where he refused to leave some time ago.

At the State Department briefing Friday, spokeswoman Victoria Nuland declined to comment on published reports alleging that an official working for the Central Intelligence Agency had informed the Obama administration on Sept. 12 that the Benghazi murders were an act of terrorism.

One would have to wonder why Nuland declined if he had read the links.

I tried to put this story into a thread this afternoon right after the video on this link took place. It is a conversation between Megyn Kelly on her show with Dana Perino about the whole thing. It was after Kelly reported that the newly reported State Department documents, 166 pages of them, were sent to the White House and to the press. You can see the story I tried to get on this afternoon at the Fox website and the story according to Jake Tapper, ABC's best reporter, and now you can see the conversation along with a report from a Fox reporter in this link:

American Power: New State Department Docs Show Ambassador Stevens Warned of Security Threats Before Benghazi Attack

You could also see that report on the Fox website under the Kelly name.

I am sure that many people here don't want to see any of this since the women suggest that we have been lied to for weeks, especially about the attempts by Ambassador Stevens asking for more people that he felt were needed because the Islamist terrorists were getting braver and increasing in strength. He was turned down for months with his requests to the State Department. The day of his death he sent an urgent message to the President asking for help. One needs to read these things and listen to the video to find what actually happened. We have been led on a real goose chase about this thing and finally, as can be seen from Tapper, the media is starting to report what went on.

I read a thing from NBC where the reporter said something about the showing of these documents by Issa and Chaffetz was pure politics. They can't even report the truth without something lie that.

This is not "new" information. It's been out there for awhile now.

you're kinda late to the party. MANY PEOPLE have already seen and read this stuff. It has been out there since at least the Congressional hearing. And most of us have already argued about this in many of the Benghazi threads.

If it has been out there for a while who reported it? I tried to post a thread about the Fox link just after noon and it never showed up. Is that 5 hour spread a while? I don't know but I do know what the MSM has said up to now and it hasn't been before this afternoon.

You did check at least one of those links, I am sure.

I don't think you watched the video that I just posted and you answered to since it was today when it came out. I guess you are saying that Issa and Chaffetz are lying, huh. I have been watching the Fox News report that is about all new news just now but you don't watch that horrible bunch do you. You do your best, as here now, to deflect from things like this and surely you do keep your kind away.

I've read it from various news reports since the Oct. 10 Congressional hearing. It was reported from unnamed sources at first. You should read through some of those Benghazi threads and you'll find EVERYTHING which has been published or reported on this topic. Sorry you didn't find the MSM reporting of the requests from Stevens for extra security. It has been out there. the only thing that is "new" is that these documents were attached to the letter Issa sent to the President's office asking for information.

I've been through discussions on this topic before, at length, and I'm not going to go through all that again. I just thought you might like to know that this info is not "new" to many people.

This info is totally new as of today. Go ahead and listen to Kelly and Perino discussing what came out today so you can see just how wrong you are. All the deflecting in the world won't make you any money but you have proved that you failed to watch them talk about it and sure as hell didn't read either of those other links either.

I agree with you that you must keep all this hidden as far back as possible but you haven't been talking about these messages from Stevens begging for help and (here it comes) telling his bosses that the Islamists in Libya were getting stronger and stronger. Of course, Obama had been on the fact that he had killed bin Laden and all those other al Qaeda leaders so he didn't want any of that on the spot information getting out. Also, he was too busy campaigning to get to any of his daily briefings to learn anything that may have made3 his story look a little bad.

Nope, Fancy you are just playing the normal deflection game and I don't choose to let you get by with it.

Roy, Bret Baier did a fantastic show on this tonight. It should repeat at midnight. Hope you can watch it. Have a box of kleenex close by. It's heartbreaking.

I just remembered you don't have cable. Right? I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up on youtube.
