Gingrich: Senator told me networks may have White House emails commanding counterterrorism group to

True...but I believe this is something else. They just announced they just received this...and are going to give specific details soon.

Oh really, can you provide a source for your assertion?

Details on the 'just leaked' Emergency Meeting Memo:

It was an emergency meeting memo to Hillary Clinton at the State Dept. from the station chief in Benghazi this August.
It's spooky in it's precognition.
It mentions the specific terrorist group that took credit for the attack...and states directly that the consulate would not be able to be protected from the exact type of attack which happened on 9/11/12.

...yet, NOTHING was done in response to this memo...and security was even reduced.
This ALSO says that the administration HAS NOT shared all it knew...as it became available.

I'm more than curious to read the whole story, might you have a link to the source?

Thanks!

They just released it as 'Breaking News' on television. I assume the Fox News website will post the story as an update very soon.

HERE IT IS (Just up):

EXCLUSIVE: Memo warned consulate in Libya couldn't withstand 'coordinated attack'

By Catherine Herridge Published October 31, 2012 FoxNews.com

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News. Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected.

Thank you for this breaking information and for staying on top of it until it all came in. Good work.

Keep in mind that this was a Classified Cable unearthed by the intrepid investigative reporting at FoxNews.

Continued part 2 ..........sorry but some people have trouble with LINKS and this is too important not to quote it in its entirety so that it is readily available to all readers. Thank you -

“RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound,” the cable said.

According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed "on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi … these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.’” Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.

The details in the cable seemed to foreshadow the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. compound, which was a coordinated, commando-style assault using direct and indirect fire. Al Qaeda in North Africa and Ansar al-Sharia, both mentioned in the cable, have since been implicated in the consulate attack.

In addition to describing the security situation in Benghazi as “trending negatively,” the cable said explicitly that the mission would ask for more help. “In light of the uncertain security environment, US Mission Benghazi will submit specific requests to US Embassy Tripoli for additional physical security upgrades and staffing needs by separate cover.”

Continued Part 3:

As for specific threats against the U.S., the cable warned the intelligence was not clear on the issue, cautioning that the militias in Benghazi were not concerned with any significant retaliation from the Libyan government, which had apparently lost control in Benghazi. A briefer explained that they “did not have information suggesting that these entities were targeting Americans but did caveat that (there was not) a complete picture of their intentions yet. RSO (Regional Security Officer) noted that the Benghazi militias have become more brazen in their actions and have little fear of reprisal from the (government of Libya.)”

While the administration’s public statements have suggested that the attack came without warning, the Aug. 16 cable seems to undercut those claims. It was a direct warning to the State Department that the Benghazi consulate was vulnerable to attack, that it could not be defended and that the presence of anti-U.S. militias and Al Qaeda was well-known to the U.S. intelligence community.

In a three-page cable on Sept 11, the day Stevens and the three other Americans were killed, Stevens wrote about “growing problems with security” in Benghazi and “growing frustration” with the security forces and Libyan police. The ambassador saw both as “too weak to keep the country secure.”

Fox News asked the State Department to respond to a series of questions about the Aug. 16 cable, including who was specifically charged with reviewing it and whether action was taken by Washington or Tripoli. Fox News also asked, given the specific warnings and the detailed intelligence laid out in the cable, whether the State Department considered extra measures for the consulate in light of the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks – and if no action was taken, who made that call.

The State Department press office declined to answer specific questions, citing the classified nature of the cable.

"An independent board is conducting a thorough review of the assault on our post in Benghazi," Deputy Spokesman Mark Toner said in written statement. "Once we have the board's comprehensive account of what happened, findings and recommendations, we can fully address these matters."

If THIS isn't a DIRECT WARNING to the Administration...WHAT is?
Again, this was less than ONE MONTH prior to the attack!

There are a handful of Benghazi documents listed in my post here. Ambassador Kennedy wanted these made top secret vs the unclassified that they were. A whistle blower provided them instead.

"Top Secret " Benghazi documents you don't want to miss.

Thanks IAMTAT !! I appreciate you sharing the link.

This storm really has taken the focus off Libya. Interestingly enough Syria came out today and said that Sandy was a new weapon that they and Iran collaborated on to cause suffering in the US.

DEVELOPING ON MATT DRUDGE will keep y'all posted...............wonder who cuz there's not a clue Hmmmmmmm it must be good though if Drudge has a hold of it - ya know? He's such a muckraker - worse that Limbaugh if that's even possible...............

SEX SCANDAL TO HIT CAMPAIGN... DEVELOPING...

Does anyone know just how many operations the US has going on at any given time? Do people really think that the POTUS personally oversees each and every one of them? If that were the case, that is all he would be able to do 24/7.

OK, I know it's been said that Obama likes to watch drone footage, but come on.

Everybody knows that BHO loves this kind of stuff and stays very much on top of activity such as this. He is especially know to enjoy the killing by drone(s)" aspect of his covert warfare exploits - and you know it too !! - but in this case he apparently took great pleasure in withholding protective cover for the ambassador and his three confreres............as yourself why ! Perhaps he had a reason for wanting them dead!

I still think the youtube cover story is connected to the UN resolution to police the internet.

If things would have "gone to plan" we would all still be thinking it was about an internet video, and people would be demanding the government do something to stamp out internet terrorism.

The thing is, even Bush Jr. had dealings with the so-called bad guys. Heck, we even went into Afghanistan to fight the people we were arming decades before.

I have been reading a lot of posts on this over the last few days and I have some questions after digging some more.

General Ham was supposed to have been arrested and fired. According to the AFRICOM website and others he is still there.

Sure, these are official sources steeped in official-ese and mean-nothing words but there is no indication of that one could infer. Did he or didn't he? Here is a pretty sober non-governmental reporting on the subject.

www.examiner.com...

Yet, it goes on forever in the intrawebs that this is indeed true:

I could go on but you get the point. I understand there are many who do not like Obama and want to jump on any thing they can to bad mouth the man. It's a free country. Personally, I feel there are plenty of other verified shenanigans going on in DC to get fired up over. Why does this one that is totally unverified get so much traction from the haters? Why do the lovers get so fired up with their beliefs?

No one doubts it is a pile of s*** what happened in Libya. Got it. Whatever plan they had went south in a hurry. I watched the Oversight Committee hearings on this.

oversight.house.gov...

It is hard to come away with anything other than 1) a lot of folks looking to cover their a**, 2) this effort was so "joint" and "inter-agency", disaster was bound to strike when things got hot, and 3) there are sooooo many pieces of traffic out there - most taken out of context, anybody could paint just about any picture.

Please do not get me wrong. If there were screw ups and miss communications, the administration needs to lead the way with clearing the air, election or not. The lovers are still going to love and the haters are still going to hate, BUT, we are doing some justice to those who lost their life that night.

The fact is. We have eyes everywhere now. 2 ex navy seals went against orders 2 help & fought till they died they spilt their blood all over their guns because even after being shot at & hit they didnt quit. & all Barry did for 2 weeks was claim tht it was started from the hour long Movie. Which was an out right lie because we had a drone watching them kill our people in a 7hour period. 3 innocent good men were murdered 1 forsure butt raped with a freakin knife. How can u back a president who allows a complete moron " hilary clinton" to leave in charge of a situation like that. Those of u who do discust me. Shes incompitant just like her whole scheming rich diabolical phsyco family
