BIG News about Benghazi Scandal (you won't hear on MSNBC)

Rlm........true cartoon. Every American with an IQ above their shoe size knows the name Sheehan...........sad huh?

 

What laser capability did Benghazi team have?

Sources who have debriefed the team that was at the CIA annex the night of the attack in Benghazi say that the CIA operators from the Global Response Staff, or GRS, were equipped with Mark 48 machine guns and had two types of laser capability. Each weapon had both a “passive” as well as a “visible” laser that could be used against the Libyan attackers.​

​

The presence of laser capability on the roof of the CIA annex confirms what Fox News sources that night in Benghazi originally said, which is that they had laser capability and for 5 hours and 15 minutes were wondering where the usual overhead air support was, especially since, according to this source, they radioed from the annex beginning as early as midnight asking for it.​

​

The presence of lasers raises more questions about why air support was not sent to Benghazi even protectively once it became clear that the fighting had followed the CIA rescue team back to the annex.​

U.S. military officials say they "thought the fighting was over" after the team left the consulate and that there was a lull in the fighting.​

​

Fox News has learned the guns were fitted with PEQ-15 lasers. The “passive” laser is not visible to the naked eye but can help team members identify hostile forces when the shooter is wearing NODS, or Night Observation Device attached to their helmet. The visible laser system places a red dot on the attacker and warns the attacker not to shoot, encouraging them to flee the scene. U.S. troops often use the visible laser to scare children or other civilians who find themselves in the middle of combat activity. When civilians see the laser they often back off in order not to be shot.​

​

The GRS team that was present at the CIA annex provided security for the CIA station, as they do around the world. They are highly trained in countersurveillance, close target reconnaissance and in depth reconnaissance. Enemy fighters have learned in Afghanistan and Iraq to use their cell phones to follow or intercept these “passive” lasers without having night vision or NODS.​

The Annex team also had Ground Laser Designators, or GLD. This kind of laser equipment emits code and signal when there is overhead air support, unmanned aerial surveillance, drones or Spectre gunships, for instance.​

​

A source present the night of the attack says that the GRS team that was defending the annex asked where the air support was at midnight. Former SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed 5 hours and 15 minutes later.​

The right-wing is so fixated on conspiracy theories. It probably has to do with their very real disconnect with reality. They already reside in a parallel universe. When reality doesn't work for you and you find yourself having to
always be on the defensive because you are always on he wrong side of history, you simply create a reality that you like better. Hence, you attach yourself to any conspiracy theory that comes along. It doesn't make them any more real but you do have something to hold onto in a world you perceive as hostile. It sort of explains their love of gun too.

 

That's the problem with Obamunists. They follow him blindly and don't ask questions...

 

Is that what Fox has been doing over the past almost two months? Asking questions? Since they are they only ones pushing this nonsense, it makes sense that you are getting your parroting points from them. Kind of undeniable. Innuendo, sourceless accusations, agenda driven commentary, but nothing in the way of proof of anything. That's not asking questions, that's called a witch hunt.

 

I wonder if that might not be because of their political leanings.

 

Duh! Captain obvious strikes again.

 

So you are admitting that the lame street media is blatantly left leaning?

 

It is just that the truth has a liberal bias.

Lame stream media....that just never gets old, oh wait.

Wing Nut News ... Now that is cutting edge.

 

No! Your "truth" has a liberal bias. The real truth is not political.

 

CBS News' Steve Kroft, whose 60 Minutes interview with President Barack Obama was selectively withheld from view, recently denied there had been any attempt by the media to cover up for Obama on the Benghazi attacks.

Kroft told an audience in Dallas, TX on Friday:

“I’m not aware of anything the mainstream media is covering up. … We know what happened, and it was not good for the Obama administration. The mainstream media doesn’t feel there’s enough real factual information to say … It’s very hard to find credible witnesses. … I think there’s been less than full disclosure, but no information that anything’s being covered up."​

Kroft made that statement with full knowledge that a critical portion of his Sep. 12 interview with the president had not been released--namely, a portion in which Obama confirmed that he had not called the Benghazi attack terrorism, and in which he refused to acknowledge explicitly that the attack had been an act of terror. Obama would later claim that he had, in fact, called the attack an act of terror on Sep. 12 in his Rose Garden speech. The new video--released with only two days left before the election--suggests otherwise.

According to idiots, the anti-Muslim video had no affect on Muslims in Libya.

 

Interesting. Now you are calling Obama and Patraeus idiots.

 

Fox News ~ the fact free zone.

 

There's no "gate" here folks.

Damn near made John McCain cry.

If you dig in your nose you'll get boogers. If you dig in your butt you'll get crap.

Stop digging in your butt, wash your hands and blow your nose.
