    Benghazi: CIA Version of events disputed

    Oh oh...somebody is not telling the truth.

    Last week the CIA released a version of the events that led to the deaths of four Americans, a diplomat and two NAVY seals on September 11th that appeared to clear the Obama administration of negligence.

    Today, though, those on the ground at the time say that account is wrong, dead wrong. They say the calls for help came a lot sooner than the CIA claimed, that there was evidence of a terrorist raid long before the CIA claimed and a laundry list of other discrepancies...

    Despite a carefully narrated version of events rolled out late this week by the CIA claiming agents jumped into action as soon as they were notified of calls for help in Benghazi, security officials on the ground say calls for help went out considerably earlier -- and signs of an attack were mounting even before that.
    The accounts, from foreign and American security officials in and around Benghazi at the time of the attack, indicate there was in fact a significant lag between when the threat started to show itself and help started to arrive.
    According to the CIA, the first calls for assistance came at 9:40 p.m. local time from a senior State Department official at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, to the CIA annex about a mile away.
    But according to multiple people on the ground that night, the Blue Mountain Security manager, who was in charge of the local force hired to guard the consulate perimeter, made calls on both two-way radios and cell phones to colleagues in Benghazi warning of problems at least an hour earlier. Those calls allegedly went to local security contractors who say that the CIA annex was also notified much earlier than 9:40 p.m. U.S. military intelligence also told Fox News that armed militia was gathering up to three hours before the attack began.

    If the Blue Mountin Security Mgr was in charge of local security, why didn't he do more than make phone calls?

    There are military interventions going on all over Africa.

    Mali is a major flashpoint.. there is training in Algeria, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mauritania, and Niger. Major joint training exercises were planned in Morocco, Cameroon, Gabon, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, Senegal and Nigeria. The Marines have also trained members of the Burundi National Defense Force and the African Union.. they are both fighting in Somalia to take down al Shabab.

    Lots of covert ops... and Libya is still bleeding weapons.
